and no, no prizes.

I chose the counties that I did, because I looked up the most used County names in states throughout the country. I rarely exactly name the state where the characters reside. At least in the posted works. North Carolina isn't really known for their beef industry though, I'm sure there are some larger production farms there, but I also wouldn't call North Carolina flat either. Those are pretty much the only hints I've provided. If I was bribed into an answer, I always thought more mid-west where the land starts to flatten out, but not a true mid-west like Montana, Nebraska, Dakotas, etc. So one of those boring, corn and cow heavy states...

He has his rare moments of helpfulness... rare as they are.

Sigh... Sigh... And to be honest, if even more sections of this chapter doesn't get deleted/trimmed down I'll be surprised.

A dude with a good butt is always good. I agree.

Well.. at least he didn't get his little butthole burned up in the process at least.

You always do seem to deposit your apologies before cashing out on your snarks. I do remember. lol It does let me know that. 1. You've probably done something that I've missed. 2. You're going to.

Ohhhh.. you're nearly to the black and gold ranks... 😮

Happy accident.

We can't be doing that, for reasons. Y'all got a Thanksgiving gift. A Christmas Gift. If I go 3 for 3, then I've spoiled you... simply spoiled you. @wildone would also hunt me down and give me a stern talking to, because he's Canadian and that's as rough as they can ever manage to be. He may not even say Sorry before or after that talk.

It was rather benign, that's what I was missing. But I know, new leaf and all that. and it took me far too long to understand what FWB stood for... I even landed on F with butts before I landed on Friends with Benefits... maybe my mind is in the wrong place today.

Aww... maybe I needed a little chaos this week and here you are behaving your damn self. *Sighs* If this is a New Year's new you resolution, I hope you tire of this rather quick. We can't have it. And Mr. Weinderdog has his moments of... I want to say heathenism, but some people take me seriously when I say it. But I mean it with love and amusement. (Notice I didn't delete the word). But to blame you... on him... not an argument that's holding much water my dear. As my grammy used to say: When you point that finger you best be looking at the three that's pointing back at you. And I think you're just one rank below me. If you overtake me, I'll be sad... but it is bound to happen. Congratulations on ranking up.

EXCUSE YOU!!! You can't be catching me out like this! With my own words! How dare! 😮 Also, this is hilarious. I think I forgot lube.. or I may have even used soap, I can't remember. That story is far too old for me to remember much about it other than the major plot points.

Davin probably hasn't even connected those dots yet, bless him.

Yeah there's like three chapters written by now, surely. I suck at titles, but.. "Jax's Needs..." I'm sure a more filthy author can handle such things. I'm too innocent.

He does have Prom, School trips, a girlfriend to worry about staying the course for, wouldn't want to lose those privileges on someone that could kick his ass for him, and knock his standing down. Risk vs. Reward... but I do agree, that's too far in the future for him to be thinking about, if he's thinking about such things at all.

Let's hope Maroon never becomes a conquering color... there are so many better colors out there. Paranoid person No. 4. Oh goodness me. I really enjoyed giving Lance, Jeremiah, and Lissa more lines and presence this chapter. I thought they could have a nice reaction to the video and since I wasn't going with... a dog-pile of people taking up for Jaxton... I thought that would be rather on the nose and annoying to write every other sentence. Especially since I had the "Traitor" stuff already in the writing. Another baseball player was named as well. Emmett. So that makes it three... Roddy, Chase, and now Emmett. I think there may have been another one named, but we've not seen in the Football game chapter. Lorianne's most unnerving thing Joel has noticed about her... maybe other than her being stunningly beautiful, is how open her eyes seem to be. I guess she has learned to observe people more, with her own dealing with negative high school bullshit.

I wish I could give this two "laughing" responses. So I'll leave you with a snickering Ryan Gosling.

That's the fear I have with every word I put to paper...

The story almost writes itself, doesn't it?

Shhh shhh shh... he's just now coming out of his shell a little bit. Let him become more aware of all this and he'll shoot right back in and lock the door. He's not so timid as he was at one time... let's not push him, the poor little critter. I wouldn't call the exchange friendly, more like measuring and uh... "I threw you a bone that I didn't have to..." Jaxton is probably thinking he has the power to send his attack dogs whenever he wants. And maybe he tried and they were like... "clean up your own mess.." and so he did. We don't know.. Jaxton's head is one we're not in. I wonder what is going on inside that noggin. Fascinating things, I'd wager. I don't think he's the type to get locked inside his own vehicle, at the very least.

Too straight can be rather boring.

Mayyybeeeee aim lower. lol... a lot lower.
