Two days later I get a text from Javier asking to meet me at Hector’s. Although I’m still pissed and hurt by his behavior following our last encounter, I accept the invite. They say curiosity killed the cat. I’ve turned it over in my head repeatedly, trying to figure out why he practically ran out of my house like that. I knew in advance not to expect anything from it, but running out the door with an unexplained apology was the wrong move. It left me feeling insecure and uncomfortable, which are two things I hate.

My shoulders are stiff with tension when I arrive. He rises from his seat, kisses my cheek and waves toward the other side of the booth for me to sit down. Pedro comes over and gets our order and leaves. I sit quietly, trying to figure out why I’m here.

“I’m sorry about the other night,” he says as he looks up from his fingers where he’s flipping a chip over and over.

“You said that before you hauled ass out the door. I can’t figure out if you’re sorry you screwed me or if you’re sorry you took off with barely a word.” I chew on my bottom lip, waiting for him to elaborate. This is so uncomfortable.

“I should never have shown up or jumped on you.”

My stomach sinks. I didn’t expect anything to come of it, but for him to totally regret it is a slap in the face. I narrow my eyes on him and ask, “Do you call all your one-night stands to meet you for tacos so you can tell them how much you regret it?” I can’t keep the bite out of my tone.

“I don’t regret it. Well, I do, but not…”

“Javier, you’re pissing me off. I get that you wish it didn’t happen. Couldn’t you leave it at that instead of trying to make me feel like shit about it? Have some heart.”

His head jerks back. “You’re not upset it happened?”

“I told you I understood it wasn’t a commitment. I may be a little naive but I’m not stupid. I wasn’t upset about the sex. I was upset that you regretted it so much that you couldn’t even say a nice goodbye. You apologized and hauled ass like you thought I’d tie you up in the basement and make you marry me or something idiotic. That was insulting.”

He sits back in his seat, speechless. I wait him out. I said what I had to say, so it’s his turn.

“I thought I took advantage of you. I felt like I couldn’t control it and when it was done I felt guilty.”

“I knew exactly what that was and I went along with it, enjoyed it even.”

“You did?”

“Oh my God. You’re killing me. I’m not some delicate flower. I wanted it, I got it, I knew what the rules were. The end. The way you’re acting now, after the fact, is the only thing that’s pissing me off.”

“Oh.” He’s looking at me like I’m some kind of alien.
