I
would have, in one form or another and if not, then at least get her warmed up
enough to go out on a date with me.
    The last thing I wanted to have
to do is tell Kyle that I had struck out. In his eyes, Natalie should have been
an easy lay. If I couldn't get her to sleep with me, he would find it hilarious
and it would spread like wildfire, and I would feel humiliation among all my
teammates. I was a big shot amongst my friends, and although the embarrassing
fact that I couldn't get her in bed wouldn't last long, it would sting long
enough for my friends to begin to look at me in a new light, and I couldn't
have that.
    “Yeah, I found her.”
    “Sick. What happened, man? Did
you finally slay the dragon?”
    I started laughing. I couldn't
believe Kyle sometimes. “I don't know about that, but I got exactly what I
wanted.”
    “Did you fuck her?”
    I paused, hating myself for
saying it, but it's not like she would ever find out, “Yeah, I fucked her
twice. She liked it so much that she asked for seconds.”
    “ Ohhhhh ,
you're the man! That's awesome. Was she any good?”
    “Yeah, she was Grade A, man, a
pretty good lay.”
    “Did she try to get you to spend
the night? I hate when they ask that. I just want to pump them and then get the
hell out of there. Move on ya know ?”
    “Yeah, I know what you mean.
After I banged her into the headboard twice she wanted to cuddle, and I'm like, naw , I gotta go, baby. But maybe next time.”
    “Next time!” He burst out laughing.
    I felt like a complete idiot
telling that story, but there was no harm in it, and at least I wouldn't look
like a complete fool.
    “So are you gonna keep banging her?”
    I paused, and thought about
Natalie. I thought about how much I really did want to sleep with her, and stay
with her as long as she would let me. “I don't know,” I said slowly.
    “Hey, why not? If she's good, take a few more
rounds out of her before you move on.”
    “Maybe.”
    “Unless you think she's getting
attached. Then it might not be the best idea to keep her around.”
    Attached? I almost laughed. I had
gotten her to kiss me before she sent me packing, and that was about it. I
wasn’t even sure she would ever let me get that close to her again. She
couldn't be less attached to me. Despite her reaction to my kiss, I couldn't
even tell if she liked me. She could despise me. No matter what I did, I
couldn't get that girl to warm up to me. It was heartbreaking, really. For me,
at least, she didn't seem to care one way or another. What was I going to do
about Natalie? The puzzle was still driving me mad, and I didn't know whether
to drop her, or keep trying.
    “Yeah, she might be getting a
little attached. She got a good taste of me, ya know.
She may not be able to let me go.”
    “You're kidding me? She did that?
You lucky guy! She must be hooked on you. Usually a girl won't go down on me
the first time. It always takes them time to warm up to the idea.”
    I went around to the couch,
grabbed one of his beers out of the refrigerator, and cracked it open. I took a
long pull on the can, and sat down beside Kyle. I had just lied through my
teeth, and I didn't feel awesome about it.
    “She's actually pretty great.
Maybe I will see her again.”
    Kyle helped himself to another
beer. He laughed, “I probably would, too, if she did that to me. But maybe not;
I like my variety. You should probably just move on.”
    “Maybe you're right. We'll see.”
    “Hey man, you wanna play some games?”
    “In a bit. I'm going to jump in the shower
first, and wash her off of me.”
    “Okay, you know where to find me
when you're done.”
    I took my beer with me into the
bathroom, and closed the door behind me. I undressed and got the shower
started. I chugged the beer, feeling the cool liquid pour down my throat. I
hadn't had a beer in a while, and it tasted glorious. It definitely had that
relaxing quality to it that helped you feel better after the burn of rejection.
