Friends In Low Places Third Verse Novels & Stories

This was my man, and I would turn those bitches into the cheap perfume they worse if they even tried. It was loud in here as usual, the music thumping and the bass shaking the place. One of my favorite songs was on making me pause for a second. It was called “how low.” By Ludacris. It was an older throw back but I loved it. I looked over noticing Star shaking her hips a little making me smile. I knew my new friend would enjoy this. “Okay you guys can go ahead and get us drinks, I’m going to bring Leah to Ji-hon really quick.”

Nobody could make you feel vulnerable. Except Derrick. That was the reason I kept holding onto my marriage even when my loyalty had started rotting long ago. The truth was ugly. During Derrick’s trip, I had not spent every night alone like a faithful wife waiting patiently for her husband’s return. Laney had been there more than once. It was reckless, selfish, and dangerous, but with Laney, it had never been emotional. He was simply convenient. Derrick was different. Derrick had the terrifying ability to make me feel small in ways no one else could. Weak. Exposed. Human.

Those three days came and went, and I couldn't even find the strength to call that lie out. My fingertip slid over his name on my contacts list, and the six years of our past together flashed through my mind like a quick little movie. The night he confessed in the rain, drenched to the bone. Our scrappy startup days in a crammed rental, sharing one bowl of instant mac and cheese. The way he lifted me and spun me when he landed his first contract. Frame after frame flashed by until it froze on Ruby in my pajamas, her arm linked with Kyle's.

Just a throwaway question, nothing suspicious. He shrugged, admitting that Denver hadn’t contacted him either. Then he let out a laugh, bitter, frayed at the edges, and said, ““Nah. Classic Denver move. Things start going good? He vanishes. Probably too busy living his best life in the States to remember us peasants back here.” Each word landed like a fist to the gut. Because Paulo knew him. They’d been best friends forever. And me? I’d only been the girl Denver spent one reckless week with. How could I argue? How could I claim I knew him better?

It wasn't until they shoved me toward the gang of thugs with their own bare hands that I realized how stupid I had been. This time, I wanted to watch them fall into hell with my own eyes. After comforting my parents, I headed outside. I'd barely left the neighborhood when I ran straight into my three childhood buddies and Lucille Reyes. Chewing gum, Lucille looked me up and down before smirking, her expression laced with thinly veiled sarcasm. "Well, if it isn't the goody-two-shoes who follows you guys around all day." Jeremy McFadden, the hotheaded athlete of the group, immediately stepped in front of her protectively.

I think I will need to adjust more since I was used in having my cousins around. "This hurt that I'm holding's getting heavy But I'ma keep a smile on my shoulders 'til I'm sweaty Beggin' on my knees Screamin', "Someone come and help me" But by the time they're there I've already hid the body~" I think I will miss my cousins company.

I let out a small chortle, and I can hear a low rumble in his chest. “We can’t stay here forever, dear, but we can spend another couple days hold up in here. Is that, ok?” I nod, wiping my tears on his shirt. We both lay quietly, until Ash starts humming... then he hits the chorus, and quietly sings ****Baby there ain’t no mountain high enough, ain’t no valley low enough, ain’t no river wide enough, to keep me from getting to you baby.**** “Marvin Gaye? Didn’t figure you to be a Marvin fan!”

Without knowing what his friend was referring to, he asked, “There are only three girls, dude! What are you talking about?” Louis saw him and walking, he said, “We still have to find someone else, brother, and we will be ready. Girls, this is my friend Chris treat him well.” The smiling saluted him. Getting into the van, Louis started to drive as the girls in the back started drinking, the grinning man thought this wasn't something he was used to, but he said, “Thanks for inviting me, man!” And his friend smiling at him replied, “You better fuck this trip up, or I'll kick your ass!”

They almost gossiped about everything – love and sex life, achievements, failed and successful marriages. Thrice, I heard my uncle’s wife and Eben's mother gossiping about how one beautiful woman in the community so much loved coition, and her inability to conceive a baby. Also in the community was the practice of sorcery. While majority of the people who claimed to be Christians practiced it secretly, a few others were known for dabbling in the occult.
