For Nicky by A. D. Ellis Page B

going to need help healing from this. I want to walk beside Libby through the healing if she’ll let me. I can only hope that Audrey will see someone about this problem she’s having. If not, it could get ugly, and I worry about the repercussions for Libby.

Chapter 32
     

Audrey
     
    This is complete and utter bullshit. I won’t stand by and watch Beth and Nate get all lovey dovey. I had him first, and she’s not going to move in on what was mine to start with. I can get anyone I want to have sex with me. I’ve had younger guys, older guys, married guys, guys who thought they were gay, girls who didn’t even know they were gay, and girls who weren’t gay but still wanted me. I will get Nate back in my bed, even if just for a night. Beth doesn’t get a happy ending; she doesn’t have power here. I’m in control, and I will decide how this goes. Nate will be fucking me before the month’s end, and I’ll be sure that Beth sees it with her own eyes. Again. After she sees him fucking me, there’s no way she’ll allow him close to her. She’s probably already freaking out about dating a guy she knows I slept with before he knew her; no way she’ll let things keep going with him if she knows he had sex with me after he met her.  All I need is a couple pills from a guy I know and some drinks with Nate and Beth at my place.  A quick favor from a friend with benefits will get a strategically timed phone call to Beth to get her out of the picture for a bit. Easy-peasy. It’s a win-win really. I get some hot-guy sex, Nate gets to have sex with me again and try to prove to me that he’s not lame in bed, Beth gets reminded that she’s not in charge, I am.
    I give my pill guy, Max, a call. I figure I’ll owe him a little something for payment, but it will be worth it. He gives me a few pills, I give him some mind-blowing fucking and money. I could never afford the pills if I was paying cash only, but with the added payment I give him, the pills are mine. Max is a pretty scuzzy guy to look at and he could creep you out if you think about it too much. He’s not one of those dirty but hot guys. Max is more just dirty. But when I’m on my knees I can’t see his face and I can concentrate on just feeling good. I imagine he’s Nate pounding into me from behind and I scream as I come. Max gets off seconds later and our transaction is complete. Max gives me some shit about maybe continuing this at my house some other time but I tell him I’ll call him when he’s needed.  I check with him on the dosage of these pills. He assures me that 1 ½ pills will be enough to screw Nate up but keep the important parts functioning and the ½ pill will get Beth out of it just enough to be confused but she’ll still know what’s going on when she sees Nate with me. Perfect. Now, I just need to play nice for a while and get them to my house.

Libby
     
    Things were all over the place after the Fall Party.  By things I mean actions and feelings.  In short, Nathan took me for a ride in his Jeep, and we ended up at the school playground.  We sat in the swings, side-by-side, and I felt carefree yet totally confused. Calm yet anxious. Happy yet sad. But, as Nate reached out to hold my hand, my perplexed mind cleared and I took in just how right this felt. How right Nate felt.
    Nate told me that Audrey needed to realize she’s a bully and get help and that I need to also get help so I can stop believing the insults she’s always throwing at me.  He said that I probably needed some time to let things in my head work themselves out, but that he wanted to take me on a real date very soon.  He drove me home and walked me to my door.  After a hug and a gentle sweet good night kiss, my knight in shining armor drove off, and I headed to bed feeling emotionally and physically exhausted.
    Monday, after work, found Nate at my door step asking if I wanted to have a picnic. Um, who wouldn’t want to have a picnic with Nate
