“Hola,” I said.Damn it!Why was I talking in Spanish suddenly? “It’s me.”Me?How in the hell was he supposed to know who “me” was? I cleared my throat.
“The Sausage King is currently closed. Our hours are…”
“Oh thank God,” I muttered when I realized it was his answering machine.
“Please leave a message and we will return your call as soon as possible,” finished the message.
I expected Chastity to hang up like any normal person would know to do. But she just kept it on.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Leave a message,” she whispered.
“No! I’m not a psychopath!”
She gave me a hard stare and held the phone up to my mouth right as the message beeped.
“Um, hey. Sausage King.” At least I didn’t say hola again. “This is Ash. The helicopter girl. I mean, I’m not a helicopter. I rodeyou the other day.Yours.” What the fuckity fuck?! “I rode yours! Your helicopter.” I squeezed my eyes shut. This was a disaster.
Chastity gave me a thumbs up.
“So I’m calling because this guy is trying to murder me and my friend. And I was hoping you could come save us in your helicopter.” I hated the words coming out of my mouth. This whole message seemed so rude. If I was going to ask for a ride, the least I could do was order some food. “Your sausage was delicious, by the way. So please bring that too.” I hit the END CALL button before I could say anything else awkward.
“Wow, I didn’t realize you were gonna offer to blow him,” said Chastity. “Nice move.” She held her hand up for a high five.
“What? I didn’t offer to blow him!”
“I mean… You said you wanted him to bring his delicious sausage. If that isn’t promising a sweet beej, I dunno what is.”
“Huh, I guess I did offer to blow him. Whatever. It’s a small price to pay to have him save our lives. Wait a second! Blowjobs! That’s it!”
Chastity looked at me like I was crazy.
“What?” I asked.
“Did you have a stroke or something? We literally spent the last five minutes talking about you blowing Mr. Frost.”
“Right, but this time mentioning them made me think of Dr. Lyons. We should call him too. He used to be in the military.”
“Good idea! And call Cole too. Get all your boys together.”
“Eh, I’m not sure Cole could help. He may be big and look all scary with his tats, but I think he might be a big softy. You should have seen the way he got his ass handed to him by Dr. Lyons. He wouldn’t stand a chance against Tanner.”
“Alright, Dr. Lyons it is.” Chastity dialed him and pushed the phone towards me.
He answered on the first ring. “Hello?”
“Hey,” I said. “It’s Ash.”
“Hey!” He sounded so excited. “What’s up?”
“Are you back in the city?”
“I’m driving back now. About an hour out if I don’t hit any traffic. Why?”
Shit!That was cutting it close to when Mr. Frost said he had to leave. “I was hoping you could come pick me and Chastity up from work. I’m pretty sure someone is here to murder us.”
“Jesus. Are you serious?”
