Watcher (2009)
“I told Tack on the way home later. “It’s a waste of time and I’m not getting up at the crack of dawn again for no good reason.”
He didn’t say anything and at first I thought he was mad, but then he whacked me on the arm and started laughing.
“You gone off your head, or what?” I asked, smiling in spite of myself at the way he was grinning.
“Naw, man, I’m good. I asked the aunt today ’bout the job situation and she told me she won’t know for maybe three, four more weeks.”
“No way.”
“Yeah. I said ...in that case we be done today.”
“Yeah? Well, good.” A twinge of guilt hit me, and I added, “So, are you gonna forget about this girl?”
“Looks like.”
It was totally out of character for Tack to give up on a girl like that and it made me immediately suspicious.
“Okay, what’s going on?” I asked. “You didn’t just decide not to bother with her.”
That’s when he admitted that he’d been talking to Teisha at Pockets the evening before (while I was getting my butt whipped by Loren) and that they’d decided to hook up again.MoreLess
