Excerpt
“Brett! Over here!” Derrick calls, waving me to the bar. I peer up to see a busty blonde already leaning over, talking to him. Just his type. Female.
Settling in beside him, I put my phone on the bar. “Double shot of Beam and a Yuengling, please.”
“Is purposing that big a deal?” Derrick’s eyebrows raise over his beer glass.
I stare at him, picking my phone back up. “I was just offered a job at a newspaper as their food writer.”
“Dude! Congrats!” Derrick raises his glass and chugs the remains.
I grin. “It’s in Austin, Texas.”
Derrick gives me a weird look. “Austin? How the hell did that happen?”
Busty sets my shot down and I immediately throw it back. “They ran across my blog and love my style. They want to do a phone interview asap.” A glimmer of excitement bubbles through my stomach.
Being a food blogger has been a dream job but the random news articles for the Raleigh News and Observer have been my passion. They have given me the chance to get my face on television and my voice on the radio. The possibilities with a regular article could open a lot of doors.
“This is a bit to take in.” I sip on my beer. “What if Holly doesn’t want to go?” Taking another person into consideration is a slap of reality. I can’t take this job if she doesn’t come. Not that she has a reason to say no.
“Well, it’s not too late to take that ring back.” Derrick gives me a pointed look.
“Not cool, Dude.”
“I’m just saying. Give it some thought. Don’t jump ahead of what you want.”
I shake my head and stare at the food menu.
“So, there’s something I’ve wanted to ask you.”
“What?” I continue to stare at the menu. I need some fries… maybe some wings too…
“Why did you ask me to come get a ring with you?”
“What do you mean?”
Derrick scratches his chin. “Well, you have a brother. I just thought that’s you would want Tim to be there.”
I shrug. “Tim’s been a bit put-offish lately. I don’t know what his deal is.” I flag Busty down to order. “Beside, you’re kinda like the brother I never wanted.” I laugh as Derrick punches my arm.
“Thanks asshole. Love you too.”
