Chapter Three: Crystal
I wasn't quite sure how Danny never figured it out, but his parents are clearing a space in the den for my Dad and after listening to my Dad and Caleb argue for three hours while we were driving through the mountains in North Carolina, they decided Danny and I are going to share his queen bed.
My Dad insisted that Caleb get condoms for Danny just in case, and I was literally gagging on air.
I keep telling Danny to clean his room because if I wake up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, I don't want to trip on his crusty underwear on my way to the kitchen for a glass of water.
"I can't believe you told Caleb to buy condoms. That's disgusting." I grumble, propping my feet up on the dashboard of my Dad's truck.
He and I decided together that we didn't want the memories of our old furniture so we left it and we're going to go furniture shopping.
I though he would want to rent a U-Haul but he just rented a small trailer for our boxes and attached it to his 3500 Chevrolet Silverado. His truck is black and giant and I love it. I learned to drive on it.
"Gracelyn, you aren't seventeen until September. I don't need to be a grandfather yet. You're a kid. I was Danny's age once. All we do at that age is think with our penis heads. Why do you think I'm thirty five with a sixteen year old?"
"Gross." I grumble.
He just chuckles and changes the radio station.
"Come on, plug in the aux. The stations here stuck."
I do as he says and shuffle my playlist labeled 'Dad'.
I pull my soft blanket up higher and put my chair back a little bit.
"Does Danny know we're coming yet?" he asks.
"No." I snort. "He's so dense."
My phone vibrates and I glance down at it.
Danny: dude you would not BELIEVE
Danny: Im calling you
A moment later, my phone starts ringing with a voice call, interrupting Dad's music. He starts complaining right away so I hang up on Danny and turn the music down a little, and then I call him back on my Dad's phone.
"Hello?"
"What happened?" I ask.
"Oh my god." He says. "This bitch. Remember Crystal? That hot chick with the really nice tits?"
"Yeah, weren't you trying to date her?" I ask.
"Yes." He says. "And we've just been talking, which obviously you know, but this bitch...she's batshit!"
"How so?" I ask, smiling when I see the sign that says Welcome to Georgia!
We drove overnight last night and it's around eleven on Monday. Danny has to work at twelve until nine and I'm going to get there at about four so I'm planning to surprise him at work.
Beatrice told me that she spoke to his boss about my arrival and when I get there, his boss is going to let him off. That's why they have two workers today instead of one.
"So you know how we were on FaceTime when I was in the shower on Friday?" He asks.
"Yeah." I say.
"Well before I got in the shower, I told her I was getting in the shower. She knows all about you except about your Mom issues and stuff and we were at the beach and I left my phone to go to the bathroom because they have these shack like things on the beach here and when I came back she told me she checked my call logs and the time I told her I was getting in the shower and she said, deadass said 'um, I calculated the time and you were on FaceTime with that slut when you were in the shower! Were you having phone sex?!' and then she started fucking crying and took off!"
