Borrowed (Embracing Series) by Delisa Lynn Page B

out and visit. I just couldn’t. I was completely over Bryn, I just didn’t want to run into any of our old friends. They always ask too many questions that’s none of their business. That’s how it works in small towns. I was surprised no one knew about the abortion.
    I had been singing at Zeb’s on a regular basis now. Mainly when I had nothing else to do. Brody was so wrapped up in Nikki that he never had ‘bro time’ as he calls it. Tonight after I sang a few times, I was going to have a few beers before going home. I heard someone yelling my name and couldn’t recognize the voice. I ignored it, I thought maybe I was hearing things. Then the voice got closer and was still calling my name.
    “Evan, is that you?” I heard a female voice say. I had no clue who the hell it was.
    “It’s me, Audrey Ridge!”
    “Audrey, how the hell are you, and what are you doing in New York City?” I asked hoping not to pry.
    “I just moved here, I will be attending NYU, in the spring. Tatum, said that you and Zander both lived here along with another friend?”
    “Yes, we do. We all three go to NYU, also.” I started looking around for Tatum. I didn’t see her anywhere, I would love to see her right now.
    “Evan, if you are looking for Ta, she isn’t with me. It’s just me. I got a loft, off of Tenth St. and Central. I’m hoping to find a roommate soon. I wished Ta, would’ve came with me. She is worried about that dicktwat Thayer. You know how he treats her don’t you? I can’t believe she keeps taking him back.” She said, as she sat on the stool next to me.
    “Yeah, I know all about him. I have asked her to leave him also. But she must really love him. Is she happier now? I haven’t seen her in months.” I asked hoping that she wouldn’t know about Tatum and me.
    Hell, who was I kidding, she is her best friend. Chicks tell each other everything, they like to talk about which guy had the bigger cock, or when their aunt floe visits. The best one is how good a kiss is. Why the hell do they do that I wondered? I could never understand that. There is no way, I would want to know every intimate detail about Brody’s sex life or anything going on with his body. Some things you just keep to yourself.
    “I don’t think she will ever be happy with anyone, well unless…umm... Any who, how is it here? I know it’s nothing like back home.” She said as she took a handful of peanuts from the bar.
    “I just hope she is happy and he isn’t hurting. I wish her nothing but the best.” I said as I pulled at my beer label. She looked at me with an odd expression and a jaw full of peanuts.
    “Holy fucking shit, dude you are so in love with her. I knew it. Omigosh, I knew it. She told me about y’all, but I just assumed your feelings wasn’t the same as hers. That little hoetart, she never told me that you loved her too. I know she wanted to bang the shit out of you and you turned her down. She said you gave her the best damn orgasm she ever had and the things you could do with your hands would have any girl begging for more. I’ve begged her to leave douchetwat for you.” She said as she took a swig of my beer.
    What the hell, she doesn’t care what she says and she is drinking my damn beer. I ordered another one for myself while she finished my previous one off. I can’t believe Ta, told her about all that. I couldn’t be embarrassed, hell I think that was a compliment.
    “Hell yeah, I care about her. Who the fuck wouldn’t? I would do anything for her, including beat the shit out of that jerk.” Thinking about him was pissing me off. I needed to go home.
    “You okay to get home? I can give you a ride. I think we are in the same building.” I said, I hoped she didn’t talk as much all the way there.
    “That would be great, I don’t like taking cabs. There are so many fucked up people out here. I tried to bring my guns with me and Pops wouldn’t let me. He said I was too dangerous with them, I do have a
