after what happened, that’s why I didn’t call or come by the club.”
“I understand your reservation for wanting to see me. The thing is, I like you and I know I’m handling things all wrong. You are getting to me in a way that I don’t like, but I can’t get you out of my fucking head. I want you more than anyone I’ve been with before and I tried to stay away because I didn’t want to… I don’t want to keep fucking up,” he finishes. “Let me think about it and let you know, ok? I ask, knowing I want to see him, but don’t want to seem too eager. “Ok let me know,” he said and hangs up. I thought about it, sending him a text ten minutes later.
Me: Ok, you want to talk lets’ talk. How about you come over around seven?
Before I could put my phone down, it chimed
Ry: Seven is perfect are you sure you want me at your house rather than go out?
Me: Do you want to come over or not?
Ry: I do .
Me: You wanted to talk
Ry: ok seven is perfect
Putting my phone down, I go upstairs to take a shower to get the morning’s run sweat off my body.
Jules pops into my mind, picking up my phone and dial her. “Hi Ev; what’s up?” she asks.
“Nothing much just checking to see what you’re up to,” I reply.
“Mind if I come by just for a few?” I ask.
“You know you don’t have to ask, just pop in,” she said.
“ Ok see you in a bit.” Pulling up to Jules house a short while later I see her outside smiling on the phone. I open the car door and get out. She says to the person on the phone, “Let me call you later, maybe we can hang out,” and then she hung up.
Smiling at her I ask “Hey what’s going on; who are you hanging out with later?” She shrugs her shoulders and says
“Travis; he wanted to know what I was doing later. I’m not doing anything so why not.” Looking at her I see s he is trying to down play her feelings for Travis, because she is scared. “I know you are in love with Travis, and I also know that you are scared to put yourself out there because of what that creep Tony did. Just don’t let that scum cause you to lose out on love,” I say letting her know she’ll be ok.
“I kn ew Tony was a creep. I guess I…um… just don’t trust myself, you know” she says looking nervous. “Listen; don’t let one fucker mess you up. Your instincts are good, just because one asshole slips through doesn’t make your choices bad.”
“I love Travis; I think I’ve loved him from the first time I saw him over at your house.” Laughing, I tap her shoulder. “I know that too, I saw the way you looked at him back then, even before you told me. So what are you scared of?” I ask.
“I’m scare d that he doesn’t feel the same way. I’m scared he is going to rip my heart out and stomp on it. You know how he is with girls. I was hurt when I caught Tony cheating, but I didn’t even cry. I know that Travis can do irreparable damage, and I don’t think I’d survive,” she answers. I know how she feels, but I also know that Travis feels the same way about her. I also think he is scared; maybe I should give her a little push.
“I know Travis has feeling for you.” It’s like a light bulb went on, snapping her head up and looking at me with determination to grill. Cutting her off before she could utter a word I continue. “I see the way he looks at you when you are not looking. He looks at you like he wants you for himself. Lets’ not even talk about when he found out Tony cheated on you. He wanted to rip him in two, believe me he has feelings for you, but I think he is scared too.”
“What does he have to be scared of?” she asks.
“I think not wanting to ruin your friendship, I think it can get complicated if you bring sex into the picture and there nothing else. When the newness of the sex is over the friendship can be too. Now I know the both of you have deep feeling for each other, deeper
