TANNER* Jace and I huddled together, and I turned the television up louder as mom and dad yelled at each other downstairs. Jace and I had gone to bed not too long ago, but the sound of our mom's screams had woken Jace, and he had run to my room. "It's ok, buddy; every

Tanner* It has been two months since Mae and I had gone our separate ways, and I'm back to my old habits. I meet Conner and Wade at the bar and bring home different women every week. At least I'm not as bad as Conner and Wade, who have at least three women in a week. I have fun with them; it's usually about two weeks that women start to get clingy, and I let them go and move on to the next. After Mae, I knew it was best not to get into another relationship.I was true to my word and started seeing my therapist again. I made an appointment the next day after leaving Mae's apartment. I had woken up and missed work for the first time due to a massive hangover and knew that I needed to do something before becoming an alcoholic.Losing Mae gutted me something fierce. But I knew that it was the best thing to do. Mae had left all of my stuff at Blaze's house, and I had not heard from her since that night. Lyra and Vega had been good about ensuring that Mae and I wouldn't cross each other's

TANNER*One night with Kaysen was all that I needed. Kaysen had said she had to go home straight from work, but she hadn't told me why. So I figured she was playing hard to get, which was a major turn-on for me. So instead of taking heed to Hector's words, I stayed and waited for Kaysen. I texted an Uber a little before two o'clock.Connor and Wade had left two hours ago with two of the strippers that were their regulars when they came to the strip club. I looked like a creep, most likely, but I didn't care. Kaysen continued to bring me beers during that time and would smile and nod her head no each time she walked off. But still, I continued to wait.Kaysen came up to me at closing time; I happened to be one of only four men left in the bar."Fine, I'll come home with you, but only for one night. I have no need for a relationship or anything like that. Just one night Tanner. Sex and then I have to go home. Wait for me in the parking lot, and I'll follow you home," Kaysen said as she

KAYSEN*"Kaysen Yasmin Richardson, Where the hell have you been? We have been searching everywhere for you. Kristine and I called old friends and new, and we have even called hospitals," My mom screamed as I walked in the door, and then Kristine, Michael's mom, and my mother ran to me and hugged me.Both Kristine and my mom's eyes were bloodshot from crying. I expected my mom to be angry, but this was over the top."I'm fine; I don't think either one of you wants to know where I was," I said as I went in search of Cora."Come here, young lady. You and I are not done with this conversation. Cora is fine she's watching Barney and is in her playpen. Now tell us where you were and what kept you from being home at four in the morning to cuddle your baby," my mom demanded."Fine, if you must know, I went home with someone mom and accidentally fell asleep," I said as I flung my hands up in the air."You went home with someone and fell asleep," my mom said as she glared at me."Yes,

TANNER*"Yes, but only for a little while, and then I must leave. My mother flipped out on me this morning when I arrived home. She and my mother-in-law had called hospitals and everything," Kaysen said as she blushed from embarrassment."Oh crap, I'm so sorry, I didn't realize. I need you to stay, though, if you can, just for a little while until I fall asleep," I said as Kaysen wiped the remaining tears from my face."I had difficulty getting out of the house tonight to go to work. My mom knows that I waitress at the club, but she doesn't know that I strip. Just the fact that I work at a strip club drives her nuts. I can stay, but only for a little while," Kaysen said with a smile that reached her eyes. She's so fucking beautiful it drives me insane.Kaysen is taking all of this exceptionally well. I thought I would tell her my story, and she would run for the hills. I'm so glad that Kaysen was willing to give us a chance; it means the world to me. Now, if I could get my shit togeth
