LMAO. Yeah, his dad is in for a wild ride.
CHAPTER 44
JEALOUS JIM
MARGAUX
I’m watching another episode ofFamily Guy,the one where Peter Griffin develops a meth addiction. It’s ironic, given where I live and the sort of behaviors I’ve been subjected to lately. But the episode is funny, in that twisted, absurd way the show always manages, and I’m laughing out loud.
The thought of sitting around a table with the writers ofFamily Guycrosses my mind. What must that room even look like?Oh, to be a fly on that wall.
The door to the back room creaks open, and Timmy emerges. “Oh, you’re so loud,” he grumbles, glaring at me.
Says the loudest person I have ever met.
I roll my eyes and make no attempt to hide it.
I message Alice.
Alice:
Tim needs to stop everything he is doing.
Already giddy from the show, Alice’s comment sends me into another fit of laughter, one that bubbles up uncontrollably and makes my sides ache.
“What’s so funny?” Timmy demands, his tone sharp, as though my amusement is a personal attack.
“Life,” I reply, deadpan. The look on his face tells me he doesn’t appreciate my humor.
His eyes narrow. “You’re blushing. Who are you talking to? Who is he?”
Me:
Omg, so now you’re a man, apparently. I’m just mentally amused in a sea of his shit behavior.
LMFAO.
Ahahaha, he’s losing it because I’m texting you.
Alice:
Omfg, he can look at my profile pic.
Timmy scowls. “Are you having an affair? Who with?”
Me:
Apparently you are a guy, and we are in an affair.
Alice:
I’m a girl, Jealous Jim.
Timmy’s voice rises. “Who is it? Are you cheating on me? Who’s making you all giggly, seriously?”
I wave my phone at him. “It’s Alice. She’s a woman, Timmy. Not that I owe you an explanation.”
“It doesn’t matter anyway,” he mutters, shrugging with fake nonchalance. “I don’t care who you’re fucking. My parents are flying me back home tomorrow.”
