guy and we might be good together eventually. Do I throw him away, because according to Deb, Bobby still loves me?” I run my hands through my hair. I start twirling an end with my hand. “I need to call Stuart soon. I texted him on the train saying I wasn’t feeling well. He was expecting to try and make up for our less than stellar start to sex. He has been after me for almost a year and when I am finally with him my head is all taken up with someone else.”
She turns me so I am looking at her. “How bad was the sex?” She smiles and tilts her head.
I laugh. “He got off. I finished in the shower after he fell asleep. And of course the shower featured a fantasy about Bobby.”
“Well you know what, I think you have done enough soul searching for the moment. You need a real drink and John did say he was taking us out tonight. So go wash your face and change your clothes, make yourself presentable and we will grab something to eat and get my guy to get us drunk.” She stands and pulls me up and pushes me towards my room.
I turn around as I get to my door, “Can we go to the Wharf? I really need a tea and they make the best on the island.”
“Sure if you want to relive our underage drinking who am I to say no? I will call John and set it up. He is DD tonight so you and I are ordering a pitcher or three.” She grabs the phone, “Go on get dressed.”
Yeah a pitcher of Long Island iced tea is just what I need. I haven’t been to the Wharf for almost five years. Jodi and I had our first iced teas there when we were sixteen or seventeen. If our parents ever knew we were regulars down there they probably would have grounded us for life. I wonder if Tom is still behind the bar, I hope so, his teas were the best.
I take a shower and do my hair and makeup. I put on skinny jeans and a tank top with a billowy see through top over it. Then I bite the bullet and call Stuart.
“Hey how are you feeling?” he asks.
“Better thanks. I took a nap and just got up,” I lie. I can’t tell him what happened, how would I even start? “What are you up to?”
“I’m about to go out to watch a game with Scott and Keith.” They are co-workers of his that he socializes with. “I can be late if you want to talk.”
“No you go and have fun. Jodi and I are going to pick up something to eat then we were thinking about a movie. I’ll call you tomorrow, have fun.”
“You too, I’m glad you feel better I was worried about you. Tell Jodi she needs to take good care of my girl,” he laughs.
“I will relay the message,” I snicker. “Good night.”
“Good night, baby,” he says and then hangs up. Ugh what is it with guys calling me baby. I will have to put a stop to that.
God that was awkward I really hate lying. I don’t think he thought anything of it. Stuart is the kind of guy that takes things at face value. He doesn’t really ask that many personal questions, he will listen when I talk and he comments but never really digs into anything. We have never had a deep discussion on anything that I didn’t bring up.
Can I really see myself with him in the long term? I don’t think so. He is a here and now boyfriend I could not see ever marrying him. He is not who I would want for the father of my children. Maybe I should just make it a clean break now before he gets more invested.
I am not going to think about this now. I am not sure how many of these feelings are real and how much is because of the things I learned this morning.
I grab my bag and head out to the living room. Jodi is sitting and watching the news. “Ready?” she asks.
“Yup, let’s go.” I grab a jacket and start for the door. “Where are we going to eat?”
“I was thinking Sayville Pizza?” she says.
Yum. “Good choice. Is John meeting us there?”
“No we are going to meet him back here after and he is driving the rest of the night,” she says following me out the door.
