HERS

It happens so fast and I think that might be down to fate. Like there is some hand somewhere guiding us along and hurrying us along because every moment I spend pressed against Pete is a moment where I feel the undeniable sense of belonging. A sense and a sensation I haven't felt in a long time.

Not since college, that sweet little man who I thought was a few inches too short and a few pounds too heavy but who made me feel thrilled. The guy who didn't have the grades to justify being such a slacker and who I could envision a future with that involved an overwhelming mortgage and one too many kids and a constant struggle and scrabble to keep our head above water and yet… Yet there was love too. The thrill of it and the passion and the feeling, when he had his arms around me, that I was where I truly belonged.

I was young. I was stupid. I ended things, figuring I had more than enough time to find that thrill again and then the years kept on passing and I kept on searching for that passion and then I just forgot, I guess, because Alex never gave me that feeling and yet I wound up with him because he was honest, until he wasn't, and I thought that was enough.

And now Pete. His hands on my body holding me to him with a kind of desperation and my lips pressed against him like he is a drink of water after a long walk in the desert and me feeling like I feel it again, me feeling like I've found it once more.

Alex asked me once if I found Pete attractive. He was more subtle about it than that and he didn't ask what he really wanted to ask which is whether or not I intended to go out with Alex all along when I approached Pete at the bar. I reassured him as best as I could but if I could be more honest now I would be and I guess I can so I will.

I walked up to the bar that night because my phone was dead and I wanted to ask the bartender to call me a cab. I never intended to go home with anyone and certainly not either of these men who were so clearly on the hunt.

But I got up to the bar and Alex looked so sad and I guess I'm a bit of a sucker for a sad guy like that. I talked to him to try to pick his spirits up and he genuinely made me laugh and it wasn't because of pity that I let him take me home, it was because I wanted him and because I thought he made me feel that sense of belonging.

It was only a fraction. It was weak and barely there but it was more than I felt in years. Only now, with my body pressed up against his best friend, do I realize that all that feeling was, was reflected glory from Pete.
