skills, the girl of his dreams . Oh wait; he did have everything! Damn, where the hell did that bitterness come from? Okay, so he knew exactly where it came from, but he just wasn’t prepared for it. It had been a while since he felt that jealousy toward Logan, but when he came out the back door and saw Gillian standing there, just smiling at the kids, she was as beautiful as ever, and it kind of took his breath away.
    Gillian was the kind of person people gravitated toward. She cared about everyone around her, always put herself last, and never hesitated when she felt someone needed her. He supposed that these were all traits that made her such a good nurse. But those were just her inner beauties. She was both attractive on the inside and the outside. They had been friends since junior year in high school, and she has only become more beautiful over time.
    She was of average height and build for a woman, coming in somewhere around five-foot five-inches, with bright green eyes and long, golden brown hair. There was a slight wave to her hair, and some women would probably use an iron to straighten it, which Jake didn’t understand, but hey he had a penis, what did he know? He did know that he loved her hair and the way she let hang over her shoulders and down her back. And even though there was a lot of hair, she didn’t hide her face behind it.
    Gillian exuded confidence with her body and her looks, and she could make sweats look attractive, mainly because she really didn’t care what people thought about how she looked. She possessed a woman’s body and wasn’t rail thin like culture implied men desired, rather, she was curvy in all the right spots, and flat in all the others. She was beautiful and perfect in every way. Wow! Way to sound creepy, man. Damn, I must really need to get laid.
    Sometimes he couldn’t stand the fact that Logan had a treasure like Gillian. He loved Logan like a brother, and had seen him just that way, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want to kick his ass sometimes. And it definitely didn’t mean that he didn’t covet what Logan had. But he conceded to Logan back in high school when he had clearly won Gillian’s heart before Jake even had a chance at trying.
    God, he really sounded like a love sick stalker today. It’s not like he’d been pining over her for the past eighteen years. He just always had a soft spot in his heart for her. Gillian was one of his best friends. He only wanted her to be happy … and Logan made her happy. Now ain’t that just fucking fantastic!
    Jake thought he had found his “Gillian” quite a few years back, even married her and had Ryan. But Wendy was nothing like Gillian. He found that out the hard way when he came home early to his ten-month old son crying in his crib while his wife entertained her boyfriend in their bedroom. Now that was a great day! Thankfully, Wendy packed up and followed what’s-his-name to Florida, and Jake was happy to see her go—thankful that she signed over full custody of Ryan to him. There was no way he was going to let a woman, who apparently cared more about her next orgasm than her baby in the next room, be able to claim any rights to his boy.
    Well fuck! Was it take-a-trip-down-shitty-memory-lane-day ? He needed a beer. He made it to the bar and saw that there was a keg … cool! Jake guessed when Logan did it, he did it right. As he reached behind the bar to get a cup, he saw his brother Jason get up and grumpily make his way into the house. Wonder what’s wrong with him? Shrugging, he filled his cup and took up the seat across from Sean, Gillian’s brother.
    “Hey Sean, got the whole day off?” Sean glared at Jake, and he knew it was because of the favorite uncle comment. Jake couldn’t help but smile back; it was so easy to get under Sean’s skin. He was like a grumpy bear: fun to poke a stick at, but once you got him riled up you better haul ass before he got his hands on you. Although Sean was technically
