10: Getting the Truth Out
Summer finally came, the kids were heading to the Wayne manor for inner vacation, but for Faith she went to her grandfather's and Meg's house.
Sarah also had an unexpected call from two old friends of hers since childhood saying they would like to hang out like old times. Now Buggy was left alone at his house until Cabaji, Jackson, Jessie, and Mohji came to see him. They sensed something was going on between Buggy and Sarah and wanted to know if it was true.
Jackson had been the first to notice it. That night when Sarah was holding his hand in the car. Sure she might've just needed comfort, but Jackson sensed it was something more.
"Woah.....anyone would think you guys are trying to get me drunk," Buggy laughed when Mohji poured him another large glass of rum. He'd already had four. And Cabaji had told Jackson and Jessie that when Buggy was drunk he ran his mouth.
"Well we just thought you could use a drink," Mohji said. "Another one, that is."
Jessie then looked up at Jackson and back at Buggy.
After 20 bottles, Buggy was very drunk and just finished his 20th bottle. He then hiccuped after he burped.
"Ewe," Jessie's face made a disgust look.
"Pfft sorry are you so perfect that you don't get gas, Jessie boy," Buggy laughed.
"So uh...Buggy, how you doing coping in all this?" Jackson asked.
"Not gonna lie, it's f*cking hard still. I'll always miss Harley, and Arthur. But having Sarah around helps. We all help each other, even the kids," he hiccuped.
Buggy was somehow careful not to spill anything about him and Sarah being in a secret relationship.
"So, you don't think you're ready to move on yet?" Mohji blurted.
"Mohji!" Cabaji hissed at him, "what about miss Fleck herself? How is she doing?"
".....she's doing okay. She's a great little cook. She's taught me so much."
"...is she...dating anyone?" Cabaji asked.
"No!!" Buggy snapped.
"Bit touchy there, captain," Mohji remarked.
"Yeah well, uh, sorry, I'm just protective of her is all. She's my sister-in-law."
Cabaji and Mohji looked at each other. They knew Buggy would never usually apologize for being touchy. That was a little odd.
"Has anyone being sleeping with her than? Like friends with benefits?" Jackson asked.
"Jackson! You know Sarah better than that, she's not that kind of girl!" he blushed slightly and took another gulp of rum.
Cabaji groaned, he had to be close, which he was now.
"Well...are you with...her?" Jessie asked and the others looked at him surprised.
"Not right now. She's away with her friends" Buggy hiccuped.
"No I mean...in a relationship?"
"Jessie!" Jackson snapped but softly, so Buggy wouldn't hear.
"What? We want to know."
"Seriously guys? Do you really think I'd be Sarah's type?!" he laughed.
"Well, you are Joker's brother, you guys have the sense of humor," said Cabaji.
"And the same eyes." Mohji said.
"And the same painted noses." Jessie said and everyone snapped their heads to him when he said that.
"Painted nose?? Okay, first, my eyes are a shade greener than Arthur's, and secondly my nose IS ALL NATURAL!!!"
"It's okay captain he didn't know" Cabaji said quickly.
Buggy took a deep breath then looked at Jackson, "you know Sarah pretty well. Do you think she'd be in a relationship with me? She adored my brother!"
"....I think she would, you would remind her of Arthur. And the more she spends she would fall for you."
".....," Buggy was silent for the longest time then he burst out laughing, making everyone jump, "that is ridiculous. Besides I don't want to remind her of my dead brother. I loves him, but I was always 2nd best and I don't like being anyone's 2nd choice. No one would ever remind me of my Harley, who was the love of my life."
"Oh yeah? Well...Sarah told me she got a night lingerie from you for Christmas." Jackson said. It wasn't true. Sarah didn't tell him about the gift.
"I got her some fluffy pj's to keep her warm, so what? I was being thoughtful."
"No I said lingerie. Not fluffy pjs that's a difference. It was a sexy outfit which the girl wears for a sexual occasion."
"Yes thank you, Jackson, I know what lingerie is," he blushed, "I.... gave her that by mistake. It was a gift I'd bought for Harley and I gave Sarah the wrong package."
"....," Jackson then went to his bedroom. He didn't see anything. He then went to the guest room and found it. He came back disgusted, "well she still has it...and it's...used."
"It was me. I wore that."
"Captain, you're saying you wear ladies lingerie?" Mohji gasped.
"Not usually! I put it on as a joke when I was drunk. It made Sarah and Sophie laugh. Yeah, Sophie was here too."
"Sarah doesn't like that kind of humor," Jackson said. "Get more rum," he whispered to Mohji.
Mohji nodded and got out another bottle and handed it to Cabaji, who poured himself and Mohji one and then Buggy, so he didn't get suspicious.
"I know she doesn't like that kind of humor. But it made Sophie laugh," Buggy shrugged and took another huge gulp of the rum.
"So you had a threesome with them? Sarah wouldn't that's for sure." Jackson said.
"Whoa hey!! I Never said ANYTHING about a threesome! I just put it on to make them laugh! It didn't work with Sarah, but Sophie found it funny!"
"I think Sarah's really pretty," Mohji said.
Buggy's hand immediately detached and grabbed him by the face.
"You what now??"
"Uh, I-I was just saying, captain."
Buggy frowned and let him go, "well don't say!!"
"Captain, how would you feel if I ask Miss Fleck out?" Cabaji asked.
Buggy scowled at him, his jaw twitching, "I'd feel pretty f*cking mad!! She's family! Sorry buddy, but no!"
"Ouch" Mohji said.
"Well I have been getting texts from her saying she would like to date me. She said I look like an Egyptian pharaoh and she seems to be into those types."
Buggy's eye twitched, "Cabaji.....since when did you become such an expert in PISSING ME OFF??!!!"
"Don't believe me?"
He took out his phone and showed him the texts. What Buggy didn't know that they were fake. The whole time-in the texts-he was trying to avoid Sarah in the messages, but she was pressuring and begging him. Buggy snatched the phone from him and read through the messages. He then growled and threw the phone across the room angrily.
"G*D DAMMIT!!! You're a dead man, Cabaji. Do you hear me? DEAD!!!"
"Why? Why are you jealous that she is hitting onto me?"
"BECAUSE SHE'S MINE!!!" Buggy yelled.
Everyone froze and looked at each other. Buggy was still angry and hadn't realized yet what he had said.
"...she's yours? So you both are together?" Cabaji asked.
"NO!!"
Mohji scratched his head, confused.
"Ok, Captain, we're confused, you say she's yours, but you're not together?" Cabaji asked, raising a brow.
"No we're not together, but I promised her, I promised not to have any other girl....and I'm her daddy!!"
Mohji then spat out his drink of rum.
"...," Cabaji then smiled and turned to Jackson, "I think we got all the answers, but one more for fun," he leaned in and whispered in his ear, "how's the sex treating ya then?"
Buggy heard him and turned red and looked like he was about to explode, "actually it's pretty damn good!! She wants me every night, all night, I've never had so much sex. And I think she's loving it too, so you don't stand a chance, Cabaji!!"
"It's been confirmed, Jackson, they are banging."
"What the heck, Buggy!?" Jackson's screamed.
Buggy then realized what he'd done and he turned pale, "....Jackson, it's not how you think it is. And you can't tell anyone about this. The kids need to be protected."
"If Arthur came back he would be so mad at you!"
"....he wouldn't. I think he'd want her to be happy. And I'm not just banging ner.... I do love her!"
"...," everyone stayed silent.
"And does she love you?" Mohji finally asked, breaking the silence.
Buggy sat down with his head in his hands, "not in the same way. She'll always love only Arthur. And it's awkward because of our families and everything, so we could never be together properly anyway."
Cabaji then went to him and put his hand on his shoulder.
"...well she could, it took her awhile to tell Arthur she loved him, and he was the shy one," Jackson assured him.
"Thanks, Jackson, but I ain't holding my breath. I've accepted that it might just be a one-way love."
"...," Jackson sighed, "I doubt that...believe it or not...I...I have been seeing some changes in the boss before he left...and I was kinda worried for Sarah and the kids..."
"What kind of changes?"
Jackson took a deep breath and sighed, "...I noticed him swing off on the dancers. I would never say anything bad about my boss, but I saw it and I was in shock of what he was doing. Sarah even said he is going less to church. One time he was so drunk he asked me if I would do him...I didn't know how to answer that. He wasn't the same person Sarah fell for anymore...he wasn't the same boss I worked for anymore...I think becoming more and more like Joker...he changed completely."
Buggy was in shock, "oh my god. I don't know what to say."
"So maybe you're in with a chance, captain," Mohji said.
"I just hope you don't go crazy like he was. He was hoping to be better than Rudy. Rudy was the worse she had. Sarah's father was also seeing the change than just myself. I couldn't tell her, it would break her heart. I even had a straight talk with him as Joker and he noticed he was changing and he was trying. He said writing her letters is the only thing that would help him. But I think God seen it wasn't gonna end for him well. He did tell me the night he was killed that he was sorry, and hoped he would see everyone again if anything happened to him."
Buggy sighed, "maybe I should tell her. If I told her then she'd perhaps take it better. I don't think it would break her heart, and it might mean she'll feel less guilty about the two of us."
"...I don't think that would be easy, Buggy...the way how things are looking, she might get angry at you and say things like she doesn't want you and other things. I don't want you to get hurt." Jackson told him.
".....true. But she made me promise never to leave her, even if she got mad at me."
"...I think I will come before you tell her, that way she knows it's serious." Jackson said.
"Well, I'll wait until she comes home and I'll make sure she's in a good place."
