"Ummmmm yeah," Riley answered, looking at the hunk who'd approached him. He handed over the first envelope to Kerr. He was told to film Kerr's reaction, so until the older vampire opened the envelope, he kept his phone just in his hand. He remembered something else Jake had told him.
"I'm supposed to wait for an answer on whether or not you're coming," he said softly. "Sorry man. Bosses orders."
He did his best not to look Kerr in the eye. There was nothing he could do to stop Kerr from reading the letter's contents upstairs, but he'd be dammed if he'd make it easier for him. Either way, the letter read the following:
Dearest Kerr,
I just wanted to write to thank you for the wonderful congratulations call you placed after my win. It meant so much to know even though we were on opposite teams you were a good enough sport to be there for me. Furthermore, our time together recently taught me how much love I have to give a relationship, and how not to let men use me as a distraction from their own, failing, unhealthy, manipulative relationships. In that same spirit, let me return the friendship you've given me with some of my very own. You and...
The name Ben Samson was written, but crossed out. Written in Jake's handwriting above Ben's crossed out name was Ichabod Conners. That name was crossed out too.
...can make it to my inauguration party, which will take place on Friday next at Echelon. Please RSVP yourself, and... Here both names were written and crossed out again. ....with my man, Riley.
Love,
Jake <3
P.S. How many more people does Ben need to alienate from you?
