An Unlikely Love

Chapter 9

Benjamin's POV

"What a fucking prick!"

"I know!"

"And he had the fucking nerves to act like you were overreacting." Robbie continued

"Exactly! I can't believe I gave a straight man that much credit. He couldn't be that much of an ally. Men really aren't shit."

"Speaking of men, when was the last time you got laid?" He asked me

"Fuck if I know. I've been so busy with Evie that I haven't been dicked down in ages."

"You should ask your dad to visit again so he can watch Evie." He suggested

"I'm not gonna ask my dad to travel from Nevada just so I can get plowed."

"I mean you can do the plowing if you prefer." He shrugged as if that was the point

"I lost my strap-on when that asshole kicked me out."

"Since you're fighting with your baby daddy you should ask you dad to come for moral support."

"I'm okay Robbie." I shut him down

"Maybe you are now but Evie is competing now, going back to school, you're going back to the professional riding world, suing your ex landlord, and figuring out the issues between you and Alessio. That's a lot for one person to handle. Your dad has the resources and the ability to take off. I think you need to think less about your pride and more about your mental health. You need to be mentally stable for Evie."

"Don't I have you."

"You'll always have me but you can never have too much support."

"I'll call him in the morning." I tell him in hopes he drops it

"I know you. You'll talk yourself out of it or duck out before I can force you. We both know he's not asleep so call now."

"Fine!" I groaned and grabbed my phone

He picked up on the fourth ring

"Turns out my son does remember his old man."

"Hello to you too dad."

"I can hear you rolling your eyes boy." He said stern

"You know your dad voice doesn't work on me. I'm immune." I teased

"You're luck you're my favorite." He chuckled

My dad is literally my best friend. He was the first person I told and my biggest supporter when I came out. He always makes me feel at ease

"Don't let the guys hear you say that."

"Did something happen?"

"What do you mean?" I chewed on my lip

"You only call me when shit hits the fan. I can already see you biting your inner cheek and picking at your phone case."

"Fuck off I'm not doing that." I said too defensively

"Mhm sure. If you're don't bullshitting I'd like to know what's really wrong."

"Robbie peer pressured me into calling you. I reconnected with Evelyn's father."

"And I'm just now hearing about this?"

"A lot has been going on." I said in a small voice

"I'm not interested in excuses Benjamin." He cut me off harshly

"Dude can you wait until after I fill you in to scold me."

"Fine continue."

"So he was really nice and supportive. We've been coparenting since Memorial Day and I've been living with him too."
