Masquerade
VII
Gable walked into his bedroom, making his way over to his to the laptop once again to reply to the email. It may have been rather late into the evening, but he couldn't resist replying as much as possible tonight. It was something in his being that just told him to do so.
Thad,
Sorry to hear that you do not like your roommates, trust me I know what it is like to deal with people you really don't want to deal with. *cough* Brielle's boyfriend – Brogan. *cough* 8D
Thinking about Brogan and then the guy down the hall, 'I wish she met him first, why didn't I think about it before? His sister's my best friend, not like I've never met Penn, or that our parents don't know him, 'cause they do….' Gable let out a sigh. 'She has him now.'
So the guy that has been making my baby sister go crazy is over right now, weird thing it's my best friend's brother. So it doesn't help he's good looking but I know for a fact he would never hurt her. It was a shock when I opened the door just a few mins ago though. He does seem to really care for her; Bri fell asleep and did not text him back. He drove what I say about 15 / 20 minutes (they live on the other side of town) to make sure she was alright. Brogan would have never done that, even the beginning of their relationship.
That kind of hurt Gable to write since it was so true; he couldn't understand why Brogan was so mean to his sister a majority of the time. He knew exactly what he was talking about because Brielle shared everything with him. Even things where some brothers might not even want to know – she shared them. He valued that she could talk to him, but sometimes he'd have to block things out sort of, or forget she said them because it was just way too much information.
One thing makes me wonder, what you're going to be like high… I am very looking forward to reading the future messages. Oh by the way I do not mind your ramble, it's… kind of ... cute.
Gable's cheeks went bright red as he typed the last line.
Gable.
He pushed his chair away from the desk and went to check on Bri and Penn. To see if they needed anything. Noticing that either had covers on, Gable grabbed two big blankets in Brielle's closet and covered both with them. Part of him knew Penn would do nothing if he gave them one blanket, since he promised and was very good at keeping those, but giving them their own blanket each just seemed right. Once that was done he went back to his room.
Bahahaha, well I say if you don't like him, beat his ass. You jocks are tough and shit. Kick the piss out of that poor excuse for a boyfriend. I would've made him bleed and fed his balls to my cat. But any type of pussy is too good for that dicklicker. Actually no, that makes me shudder; I wouldn't want my dick licked by him. Gay does not mean desperate. ;)
Awwww, he's your bestie's brother huh? AND good looking? You're lucky, I have no one to look at around here. Unfortunately these people are only gifted one way and not with looks. -_- I mean, yeah looks aren't everything, but you gotta be able to look passionately at someone while going down on them, and bring yourself to say, 'I love you' or, 'You're beautiful'. But well, y'know. This is me rather sober by the way. Only thing I got is this light, tingly feeling in my body, feel kinda weightless a 'body high' apparently? But… I guess that's a good thing, I need to slow down on my food intake anyway. Although at least I have my cash hidden on me to go out and get something to eat. I mean, these guys eating my food all the time, I need to go out and eat just to survive. I swear…
But aww, he does sound like a sweetheart, driving across the city just to check up on her. That's adorable. Kinda makes me wish I had someone to care about me that much, y'know? Maybe then my nights wouldn't seem so long and lonely. But emailing you… I don't feel so lonely tonight. Y'know what I mean?
So, you're coming out to eat with me. Via email. I have my iPhone with me so, that'll do for now. So… what are you feeling? McD's or… Chinese maybe?
Hope to hear from you again tonight,
Thad
Lian's mother was working very late tonight. Being a highly recommended neurosurgeon in the area often controlled the amount of hours she worked. Despite hardly getting to see her mother, she had a very tight, close relationship with her. Having to keep reminding herself once in awhile, just because she didn't see her mother as often as she liked – didn't mean she loved her any less.
She heaved a sigh as she pulled out her house key, shoving it angrily in the key hole. Why was Penn being such an asshole? There was no way he didn't know that she like, liked him. He was the one who took her virginity and vice verse – that counted for something, didn't it?
Apparently not. Not ever since this theater chick came into play just hours ago. "I hope she's fucking happy," she mumbled to herself, her eyes stinging with that familiar sensation before tears usually kicked in. "she got in a split second what I've always wanted. Fucking slut whore." She cursed angrily before kicking the front door, somehow that magically made the lock unstuck and the door open.
All she wanted to do now was to pass out cold on her bed and not wake up. Well, that sounded like a plan. A great one.
Thad I would love to go to dinner with you 8D. You know I still have tons of food from making Bri's favorite, surprise she has not touched it. I made her grilled steak, boat potatoes, corn on the cob, fried peppers, sweet carrots and grilled asparagus. Oh on the steak I used her favorite homemade sauce. Yeah I spoil her and I'm proud of doing so.
So yeah, if we're going to dinner. Even though my food is way better, just saying 8D. I would go to like a sub place or something. I don't eat food that is made under heat lamps... sorry. I'm a health nut.
Yeah I would beat the shit out of Brogan, doesn't help he plays football and arms like... he probably bench presses elephants… I don't know but I've seen him leave marks in the roof of cars from punching them. So no thanks, I will plot this death in silence. He will be distorted.
Question, you can leave campus without your dad giving the okay?
Gable clicked the sent button and went to go get a drink well waiting for Thad's reply. Gable loved tonight and how much he got the chance to talk with Thad.
Brogan was so glad he decided to have a night out with the Spanish babe. And holy shit – was she a babe! She was way better than his girlfriend Brielle could ever be in the sack, and after dropping this babe off he realized that he didn't want to be with Brielle anymore. She was cramping his style big time, but he wasn't sure just how to get rid of her.
A part of him felt sympathetic towards her, so he didn't want to just tell her she wasn't good enough, even though she wasn't. Females to Brogan were so 'unnecessarily complicated' – when they bitched about wanting to be told the truth, but not being able to handle it. Made no sense what so ever. Tell them the truth, they flip a shit and dramatize it. Lie to them – same outcome. What was up with that?
He entered the home around 1:30 in the morning, glowing brightly after the sex he had tonight and decided to head to bed. Whatever would happen – would happen.
Oh. My. Gosh. I'm dying. That sounds soooo good Gabe, will you marry me so I can have your food 24/7? I would totally get on the ground right now, on my one knee (I have two of course, just so you know… wait, why the fuck did I say that? … I feel kinda light headed… oh well) and just totally marry you. I bet you're gorgeous, I mean – just you being you… I'd tap the shit out of you so hard, but… y'know, lie next to you and admire your beauty all the rest of the night 8D.
Y'know how I can tell you're beautiful? By your personality, how caring you are… how much you love the people around you… your personality is beautiful, so you must be too.
Ooh, yeah you are a health nut. Well listen babe; if we're going out to eat… well, the only thing open right now is Chinese or McDonald's. Sorry about that. Does that mean I'm getting dumped for this bad dinner date? :(
Ooooh, you don't know what his arms are like in comparison? Well then, it's clear you hate him too much to check him out. But… I don't blame you, although if I were you, I'd get me some brass knuckles and say my fist slipped. But then again, my therapist says I'm an angry soul – but fuck him. Well no don't, if you're going to sleep with anyone – I'm here and readily available ;)
Ooh, uh… can I? … I don't know, but I did. Oh well, although this light headed feeling is getting stronger… but whatever, I'll be okay. I really hope I'm not keeping you from bed or anything, I'd feel so bad if you didn't get the proper rest you need because of me babbling.
Take care love,
Thad.
Penn's eyes fluttered open to see that Brielle was still softly asleep, only she managed to kick the blankets off, despite her skin feeling quite cold to the touch. He propped himself up with his elbow and brushed the hair out of her face, placing a tender kiss upon her cheek before reaching over and pulling up the light comforter over her body.
"You are so beautiful, Bri." He whispered softly, moving the pillow he was currently moving significantly closer to hers. Snuggling into her, sharing his warmth. His body was always so warm in temperature and he figured his body heat would help warm Brielle up so she wouldn't get cold. With one last tender kiss just behind her ear he settled down once again, feeling much more at ease and comfortable.
Gable's cheeks were now red from Thad's last message; he hardly knew the guy and he was getting asked to be married. 'It must be because of the drugs… but even still…' He thought to himself.
Thad,
Just promise me you will be careful, I hate to know something did happen to you. Oh and thanks for those wonderful words, you made me all red in the face. I'm not lying, you did.
Hey maybe one day I will be cooking for you, how about a picnic? Lol, you get away from your crazy roommates and some very healthy food 8D. Huh what you say?
Don't worry about keeping me up, normally I would be getting home about now and Bri and I would have sister brother time. I'm letting her sleep though, plus the cute mystery man is here. I don't want to bother her.
As for this dinner date, I will forgive you this time. Only this time. I mean if you're going to marry me and all, as you said. You will be coming home to proper meals, none of this fast food shit. Sorry. I'm dead serious, only really fast food my family eats is like pizza, subs, oh we spend a lot at coffee shops... those are really the three places, I mean Bri and I don't even eat our cafeteria food. Since I cook I make your lunches. I love seeing her face when she has lunch, I got to take a picture for you.
Well keep me updated with how you're doing, remember I am here if you need me.
Gable.
Or as you put it 'Gabe'.
Awwww, Gable, you're so fucking cute. Y'know that? I really like you. I like you a lot and I know it's hard to say 'cause like, I haven't met you in person but... I think it's nice this way because, by me reading what you're writing to me - it's your thoughts, your personality showing through and you just plain fascinate me. If I were there beside you... I would touch your cheek, and look to you... for a sign, permission to kiss your lips... and accept my fate of no fast food 8D
A... picnic? I'd say sure and... no one's ever done something for me like that before, thank you. Even the thought of it makes me happy and wow, happy is something I haven't been in a long, long time.
Oh right! Hot mystery boy whom is really your bestie's brother, is over and she's sleeping with him. Well, not with him but like, next to him. Awwe, that's cute :3 By the way... are you single or, is there someone who's lucky enough to wake up next to you each morning? I'd kill for that chance..
Hey, I would LOVE coming home to homemade meals, I'm so sick of this kind of living at campus. Soo fucking sick of... whoa, wow... that's... that's really weird. Like, I'm typing to you, on my phone but like... the words are moving... really weird, I'm tryingtoconcentr ate but... I...amver y scared right now. I'm soooo far from campus... I don't recognize this area at all... I think this is a library I'm at... but there's stairs so I'm just.,.,,going tositthtere and hope this shit goes away... if you still want to talk to me, text me. It'd be easier.
If you'regoing to sleep, night love.
Not even his name was signed, and Gable noticed Thad's cellular number sitting right there at the end of the e – mail. Should he or shouldn't he? He didn't take much time at all to think about it as he entered the new contact in his phone.
