I went back, after I put on another shirt to Jack's work. I don't know why, but I did. I had his shirt in my hand too, with full intention of giving it back. As I was putting my hand on the door I realized that I should have washed it, but it was a little late for that. He had already seen me.
He leaned over the counter and gave me a flirty grin, his teeth were white, and absolutely perfect. They weren't straight, his front teeth were slightly crooked, tilted inward. It made him that more handsome. Ugh, why was I thinking these treacherous thoughts? What about Rascal? I ... loved? ...Him?
"Hiya Sunshine!" It was too late to turn back now, I was already in the coffee house.
"Hey Jack, whats brewing?" Smooth you cheater, how smooth. - Beat - "I brought back your shirt, but I didn't wash it..."
"That's fine sugar, I'll do it myself." Then he winked at me! Alright buddy, That's it.
"Alright, later Jack! See you next week!" And on my heel I turned and walked away! I walked away from him! I walked away from a cheating situation! How honest I am! How wonderful a feeling how... happy I felt!
Walking back to my, our, apartment, I thought of something. Why hadn't Rascal and I ever have sex? Why hadn't we ever gone past that particular kind of situation? It's been two years! Is something wrong with me? Are we in that much of a set routine?
I decided to shake up things a bit, and I called him, at work. My heart throbbing and my mouth growing dry I dialed his number, expecting the worst and expecting the best. Rascal picked up:
"Hello?"
"Hey babe! I just wanted to call and say hi!" I said it a little too cheerily, it sounded like I was up to no good.
"Okay? Hi?" Okay now it was awkward. Awkward pause. Awkward pause.....
"Also could you pick up a pizza or something? I'm feeling like a dinner out." Smile into the phone, everything is good....
"Okay? Sure...? I'll do that. But um, did you get my note? I won't be in till tomorrow afternoon."
"Oh right, well, maybe tomorrow then." I know I sounded desperate.
"Sounds good. Alright, I gotta get back to work. Have a good one."
"Yea, you *click* too. " Well that's food for thought.
He didn't say he loved me, he didn't say he missed me, he didn't say... anything.
Maybe I will go out with Jack, just this once.... What trouble could it cause? Seriously?
