“Finally the man I know comes out” he says with a laugh. “Sounds good, not sure that I can drive back if we get to messed up and don’t need to get stopped by a cop.” he said making reference to Shane’s issue that the Enforcer brought up. “That all turn out okay?”

Dez sighed as his friend spoke. “I do not. Sorry that my life and and wanting to be happy is too much of a bother to you. Like I said. I won’t mention it again to you.” He had never known Shane to be so upset over talking about something but  he would drop it and keep it to himself.

“I do listen but nothing changes. All of you have someone but me.” He made a face. “I don’t act desperate but I would like to have what all of you have. I don’t want to meet a girl like that. She might not be who she said.” He got out of the car. “I’ll just stop mentioning it.”

Riddle had to drop to go to WWE.

Dez groaned under his breath. It was hard when none of your friends wanted to talk to you about issues that bothered you but you were there for them when they needed to talk. “Nevermind. I had no idea that me asking advice was such a bother. I’ll try not to discuss my concerns or life again.” And this was why he said Shane had gotten an ego. It felt like he didn’t have time anymore for things like that. 

“Maybe not.” he chuickled, ‘But she was worth a try. I love you two together but I get jealous. I want someone to want me like that. The cute jokes, the cuddles, the wanting to feel loved. Don’t even say that I had that with Erica because that was one sided.” Shane and Karleena were opposites but found a way to enjoy each other’s hobbies and tolerate them or participate in them. That was rare to find and he worried that he never would find that.

Dez liked riding with his brothers and friends. Lately, it felt they all were in different places but tonight they were in Ohio working for Sami. “I hate that all of it happened, she’s a gorgeous woman but she’s taken and so I shouldn’t have even looked twice especially when she’s taken by a brother.” As the words came out of his mouth, he thought he sounded a lot like Sami except Sami had acted on his feelings. He as giving Sami grief over doing what he had done except Sami was successful in his attempt and Dez wasn’t.
