Story: Perfect Deke

Added motivation tonight. Will have my mum, sister, and Kendra watching from the box.

Archer

Sister …

Me

DON’T EVEN GO THERE.

Archer

Damn, I bet it took you even longer to write that in capitals. You must REALLY MEAN IT.

I know he’s joking, but I will castrate him if he even looks at her.

Me

DO NOT TOUCH HER.

Archer

That’s not very feminist of you. Surely, Emily is her own woman, capable of making her own decisions, no?

Me

Who the fuck is Emily?

Archer

The only British name I could think of.

Sawyer

I’m going to weigh in here and say Emily is probably off-limits.

Me

That she is. Plus, she has a boyfriend.

And her name is Darcy.

Archer

Darcy, Darcy, Darcy. Like it. Very regal.

Me

Can we stop talking about my sister now?

Archer

Sure. I’ll see her later anyway.

Me

Unbelievable.

I set my phone on the side when Kendra starts to wake properly.
