Kindle Notes & Highlights
I always knew being nosy was going to get me killed one day… I really didn’t think today would be that day.
The best way to describe Ben and Maddox is to say that all of the happiness was drained out of Maddox’s body and shoved into Ben,
“Oh! Thank you for the birthday cake,” I say. He holds his hands up. “I didn’t get it for you, Maddox did, but he’d probably skin your ass if you thanked him, so you’re welcome,” he says. I look at him in surprise then dread. “Oh no… it looks so good too. There’s poison in this, isn’t there?”
“That’s what your brother said you’d say but he explained that you were just a bit shy,” he says as he pushes up into my space. My brother, more able to materialize around me than the others, gives me a push. I stumble back and land in a chair as Stripper Ghost gets all up in my business. There I am with his floppy ghost dick hidden only by a thin thong as I glare at my brother who is delighted.
“Maybe keeping your nose out of things would make it less shitty,” Sean unhelpfully supplies. “Stop trying to disrupt my lap dance. Go back to beatboxing. I was enjoying that. It kind of sounded like a whale call,” I say. Stripper Ghost turns around to eye me. “I was thinking mixed a bit with a peacock call.” I nod. Clearly, Stripper Ghost gets me. “Right?”
“You’re not going off and having ghost sex with Natalie on my birthday.” He shrugs. “That was once.” I stare at him. “Three times but it was an accident each time,” he says as he leans back on the couch. “How do you accidentally have sex with someone?” “It’s like ‘Oh whoops. This is my dick’ and she’s like ‘Oh whoops. This is my vagina’ and then you see what happens when you put them together.”
I’m not a cat person. I’ve never wanted cats and honestly prefer dogs. I always wanted a German shepherd or a Doberman pinscher, but instead… I have cats. Two annoying, needy cats that think I’m the love of their life.
“Have you ever gotten along with anyone in your life?” I ask curiously. “No… no, I haven’t.” He’s far too proud of this fact. He’s even grinning a little, he’s so proud.
“Your closest friend is a ghost?” he asks, sounding a bit incredulous. “If you had someone who haunted you, went everywhere with you, and watched you pee on occasion, you’d just give in and make them your friend too.”
“Well, now I’m kind of disappointed no one wants to sit on my face,” Maddox says.
“You’re yelling at an innocent bird,” Sean says as he slips into the car and sits in the front seat. “He’s up to something,” I say as my brother holds his arm out for the bird. The bird straight up ignores him. “Come here. I’ll take better care of you,” Sean says as he reaches out to the bird who immediately pecks him. “What a spiteful little ass.”
“I’ve… I’ve never met a ghost that’s malicious before,” I admit. “She… she fucking pushed me. She tried to kill me. She… she’s been following me. Since the day we found the drowning girl. I see her places. And now I know she’s trying to kill me.”
“Thank god I’m still in a panic over your life or I’m positive you would be fretting over your life again
“Oh my god. I can’t believe we were able to do that without interruption,” I say. “You mean, we didn’t have an audience?” “I kept them back!” Natalie yells through the door. I cringe. “They were listening.” “Okay… that’s… disturbing,” he says.
