My. Friday. Night.

TallBoy, ArgentineanMan, M.Squared, RussianLover, S.O. and I went to the bars.
These are all S.O. friends.
RussianLover and M.Squared I sort of knew beforehand because I was once a barista long ago… which is how I met S.O.

Back to the point.
The five of us went to a local bar.
M.S. and S.O. want to start a porn site.
And I’m not joking.

I knew this, because S.O. had told me.
He wanted to know if he could talk to girls.
To ask them about this site.
I’ve been hurt before.
But I agreed.
On one condition.
That he wouldn’t sleep with them.

So M.S. and S.O. told the others about the site.
Which they have a domain name too.
Then S.O. started talking about how
He was going to sleep with only the hot ones.

I said nothing.
Smiled and laughed.
But I was hurt.

Night progresses.
Soon it’s just me, S.O., and A.M. left.
A.M. is drunk.
S.O. is too.
I’m not.

A girl in a red dress comes and sits down at our table.
Uninvited.
Talks to S.O. and ignores A.M. and myself.
Jealous and hurt.

Suddenly I look up and see my brother walk in.
My wonderful adoring wonderful sweet brother.
I tell S.O. I need to get up.
Jokingly he says no.
I say it stronger.
He lets me go.

I follow after my brother who’s headed upstairs.
I didn’t realize A.M. is behind me.

We get to the top.
A.M. asks me why I left.
I tell him that my brother is here.
He’s a smart man.
He sees more than that.
He pushes me further.
“Why would you leave your S.O. alone with a girl?”
He asks.
I tell him the porn site.
He ignores the comment and asks,
“Why not try to fight back against her?”
I sigh.
I say, “I’m tired of fighting, and after
six months, he shouldn’t start this now.”
A.M. stares at me for a minute.
And then he calls it.
“You’re in love”
