Game on Jeff………….
CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
Gunner……
Things must be okay with Ari because Ellie and Ari came through the front door giggling like school girls. Jeff was walking behind them and looked at me and just shrugged. I was standing in the kitchen talking to Brad and Amanda. I looked back up and saw Jon walking over to Ari and Ellie. What was that fucker up to? I watched as he put his hand on Ellie’s arm. I immediately saw her tense up.
I couldn’t tell what they were talking about but Ellie kept shaking her head no but held a polite smile on her face. He then leaned down closer to the side of her face and said something that made her laugh.
“Dude, are you even listening to me?” Brad said as he pushed my shoulder back. I tore my eyes away from Ellie and Jon and looked at Brad.
“Oh yeah sorry I was distracted by something. ” I said as I looked back over to towards Ellie. Jon was clearly up to something that fucker.
“Listen Gunner, you better keep an eye on Jonathon Barker. That fucker is a man whore. Once he sees something he wants he won’t stop at anything until he gets it in his bed. ” Brad said as he stared over at Jon and Ellie.
“I know all about Jon but thanks for the warning Brad. Looks like he has his eyes on the one thing that he will not be taking to bed so if you will excuse me Amanda, Brad…. I have a girl to save. ” I said as I started to walk over towards Ellie.
I felt the heat moving up my body the more I watched him try to move closer and closer to her. I noticed Ellie take a step backwards away from Jon. I was already fisting my hands up so I needed to get a grip. When I walked up behind him I heard what he was saying.
“I really wish you would change your mind my dear and dance with me. I would really love to get to know you better. ”
Mother fucker…. . in my own fucking house going after my girl, oh hell no. I looked over at Jeff and gave him a nod…. if I lost it he better be fucking ready to pull me the hell off of this prick. Jeff was on his way over and walked up to Ari and whispered something in her ear. Jon didn’t even notice Jeff walk up.
“Hey sweetheart, are you ready for that dance?” I never took my eyes off of Ellie for one second the entire time I walked over to where they were standing. Ellie had seen me walking over and gave me the smile I would move heaven and earth to see every second of the damn day.
I slapped Jon on the back…. hard…. . causing his beer to spill a little onto the hard wood floor. He looked pissed but once he saw it was me he relaxed. Fucker better not think I’m harmless because I will break him in two.
Ellie tried to hide her giggle. “I’m more than ready for that dance!” Ellie said with a smile.
“Well, hold on a minute my dear…I just asked you to dance and you said no. Now you’re just going to go running off and dance with Gunner? What’s the deal?” Jon said with a laugh. Ari took Ellie by the arm and started to lead her away. Jeff must have told her too when he walked up. Ellie looked confused.
“It’s okay sweetheart, go on outside with Ari, I’ll be right there. ” I said as I leaned down and kissed her check.
Once they started to walk away I turned and stood in front of Jon. He was giving me a shit eating grin, fucker.
“Hey bro, it was all harmless…I just wanted to dance with her that’s all. ” Jon said as he took a sip of his beer.
“Listen Jon, I put up with your shit because you are friends with Josh and that is the only reason why. I don’t really give two shits who you hit on but if you ever lay a finger on Ellie again or call her anything other than Ellie, I will break both your arms and you will never play baseball again? Do you understand…. . BRO?”
Jon started to laugh. “Okay sure dude whatever, but in my defense I always thought you were the fuck ‘em and leave ‘em kind of guy. You’ve never kept them around for more than a few dates. ”
Just then I hear a gasp and looked up. Ellie was still standing there and Ari was trying to get her to go outside. She had a look of horror on her face. FUCK! This fucking prick…. I was going to kill him.
I was ready to punch the fuck out of him and Jeff must have sensed it.
“Whoa…hey dude…. You’re one to talk. I think you need to either knock it the fuck off or leave our house. You don’t talk like that to my best friend and you sure as shit don’t talk like that with my sister right here you got it?” Jeff said as he stepped in between Jon and me. Jon gave me a fucking grin again.
“Sure you’re right…. sorry Gunner man, didn’t mean to get you all upset. Put those Guns away dude. I will stay clear of her for as long as she’s your girl. ”
“You’re goddamn right you will!” I practically shouted.
“Gun, man just cool off…. . you need to go talk to Ellie. Ari got her to go outside. ”
I gave that prick one more look and started to walk off. I hit his shoulder as hard as I could as I walked by.
Fucking great…now what was Ellie going to think about me after this prick pretty much just painted me out to be no better than him.
When I walked outside Ellie, Ari and Heather were talking and laughing. Maybe everything was okay. She wouldn’t believe that asshole would she? I mean, I’m not saying I haven’t sleep with my share of girls but fuck…. it’s not like I was a man whore. Fuck I think Jeff has hooked up a hell of a lot more than I have.
