Chapter 214

• I slowly got up, went into Shawn's kitchen, and started the coffee brewing. I walked my naked ass into his bathroom, and got in the shower. The hot water, and steam building up in the bathroom, started to make me feel like a human being again. I just stood. The water running over my head, down my back, felt good. The hot water was almost burning my flesh, after I turned it up even more. Finally feeling better, I shut it off, stepped out and dried off.
• Today was a new day. I would find some ibuprofen, some of that coffee that I brewed, and figure out what I was going to do with the rest of my life. Also, I really had to figure out how I was going to get even with my ex-business partner, along with my wayward wife. Reflecting on the situation, and stepping out of my own shoes for a minute, I could see that she wasn't in some long-term love affair with that asshole, but it still hurt the same regardless.
• I sat at his table in the kitchen, sipping the coffee. Shawn came out, looked about as bad as I still felt on the inside, and sat down across from me. "Dude, we should NOT be allowed to drink Tequila together," he observed.
