Which island are you flying into?”
Me:
Jessica:
“Baby, I really dunno.”
[exacerbated emoji] “Babe, I love you… but what kind of security guard are you if you don’t even know where you are going?!?!?!”
Me:
“I deserved that.”
I did. I have never claimed to be the best security guard out there. Even I would agree I am a little on the goofy, aloof side. I was a solid C minus student in school. I did just enough to get by and nothing more. I have taken that work ethic into my adult work life. It is how I like things: nice and chill.
Jessica:
“Ask someone, please.”
Me:
“Why?”
[angry emoji] “Do you want to get laid again, Joey?”
Jessica:
I sigh. I am not going to win this fight. I may be lazy, but that trait does not apply to my sex life. No way am I willing to give up sex.
I reluctantly turn to James, who has ear buds in as he appears to be listening to something on his phone. I lean over and tap him gently on his shoulder.
“What?!?”
he snaps at me.
“I am sorry to bother you, Sir, but where are we going?”
I ask him..
“Kansas City, Kansas,”
he responds sarcastically,
I choose to ignore the sarcasm. “I am sorry to ask, Sir. I know that we are on our way to Hawaii, but my mate is a bit of a paranold one. She wants to know which island we are going to.”
He rolls his eyes. “What kind of security guard does not bother to figure out where he is going before he gets on a plane?”
“To be fair, Sir, we only had twenty minutes to get ready for this trip, and you were the one who made all of the arrangements. If you wanted your security forces to be prepared, you should have given us a little more time and a little more information.”
James glares at me. For a moment, I worry that my disrespect is about to cause me to be suspended from my job or banished from the pack. Thankfully, after groaning, he answers me. “Honolulu.”
“Thank you, Sir.”
Me: “Okay, Baby. I found out. We are going to Honolulu.”
Jessica:
“Nowhere else?”
Me: “James just told me. We are going to Honolulu.”
Jessica:
“Please confirm with him that your hotel is in Honolulu.”
Me: “He said we are going to Honolulu.”
Jessica:
[angry emojil
SERIOUSLY? Is the sex with Jessica good enough to let her bully me like this?
Yeah. Yeah, it is. Crap.
I lean over and tap James gently on the shoulder again.
“What now?”
he growls.
“Apologies, Sir. My mate wants to know if our hotel is in Honolulu, or if we are planning to go somewhere else.”
James glares at me. “I already told you that we are going to Honolulu. We are also staying in Honolulu. Tell your mate that if she wants any more information, she can meet you in Kansas City.”
The implicit threat is clear. He wants me to stop bothering him. Got it.
Me: “James just confirmed that we are staying in Honolulu. He is not happy with me, though, so please do not ask me to ask him anything else.”
Jessica:
[happy face emojis]
Me: “What?”
Jessica: “Dr. Hyder told me that Lily and James are meeting at a resort in Kauai. And an omega the packhouse told me that she overheard the conversation between Luna Jane, Sheila, and James.
Sheila basically invited herself on the trip. James must be planning to take a connecting flight and to abandon you all in Honolulu. This is great!!!!”
Me:
at
“Yeah, except that you know Sheila. She wants to be Luna. She is not going to let James out of her sight.”
Jessica:
somehow.”
[sad emojil “You are right. You have to do something, Joey. Help him. Distract Sheila
I think for a minute, and then an evil idea hits me. It’s so genius that I want to pat myself on the back.
I mind-link Aiden. “Hey, Man, sorry you got stuck in coach.”
“You owe me, Dude. The humans back here are gross.”
“What if I told you I have a plan to make it up to you?”
“I am listening.”
“You have always had a thing for Sheila, haven’t you?”
I ask.
“Yeah, so?”
“What if I was able to get you some private time with Shella during this trip?”
“How are you going to do that? All she wants is James.”
“No, Aiden. What she wants is to be Luna. Do you really think his dick tastes better than yours?”
“F&&k you, Dude. All the ladies like my dick.”
