Chapter 94: RICHARD
Swallowing a mouthful of whiskey from Chad’s flask, I said, receptive to the burn that warmed my chest.
"Before I tell you guys this, I need you to swear that you would never tell anyone this and it’s not that I don’t trust you. I just have a lot hanging on this and it can never be public knowledge"
"The fuck Rich! If you don’t want to tell us just hold it to yourself rather than questioning our loyalty and reliability" Aaron said, splashing the water hard, a reaction to how pissed he was.
His anger was justifiable, were any of them to question my trustworthiness and credibility, I would surely be vexed beyond measure.
"Yeah Rich, we’ve been friends long enough for you to know that we would never tell on each other or spill another’s secret" Chad concurred.
"Tell that to the person you almost told my ass to your mother" I countered.
"I think you are being too dramatic, you know he was just teasing you. Aaron would never do that and you know it" Chad said, mixing the contents of the flask to his champagne.
He raised the flask as even questioning if any of us wanted it.
Pissed Aaron snatched the flask and almost emptied the entire contents to his flute,
"Hey, don’t finish the whole thing. And I’m not the one who made you pissed, snatching my fingers like you want to break them. Don’t forget, the prick questioned my credibility as well" Chad complained.
"Does that mean I don’t get even a drop?" I teased, even when I knew I was getting on their last nerves.
"Most times, I wonder why I even love you at all. You’re insufferable."
