Casting

Justin

He gets her? There’s no way in hell he understood her better than I did. God, we were pretty much the same person, only she’s a million times cooler and has boobs.

“Maggie, come on now, this isn’t you. This isn’t the Maggie I know. So, if you think this guy gets you, he’s got the wrong you.” I dug my balled fists into my sides, hiding them from her view. She couldn’t figure out how much her ridiculous announcement was affecting me.

“Who says I can’t change, J?” Maggie huffed, her eyes watering as she folded her arms across her chest, pushing up the breasts I ached to busy my hands with. “May…maybe the Ma..Ma…Maggie you know isn’t the g…g…girl I’m meant to b…be.” Maggie uncrossed her arms and covered her face with her hands, denying me the ability to witness her struggle through the sudden stutter that had consumed my Maggie. “It was fun. The sex was fun. But that’s all it is. That’s all it’s ever been and I want more. I deserve more.”

“Jesus, Maggie. I think it was a little more than fun and I’d bet my left nut it’ll be years until you find someone who comes close to fucking you like I do. If ever.” My temper was building, my self-control dwindling. How could she so easily turn her back on me? After almost a decade of screwing my heart out, not one girl made me feel even a fraction of what Maggie did. “Do you think that, just maybe, this guy was in the right place at the right time and you were experiencing some kind of temporary insanity? God, Mags, if we stop this, that’s it. It’s done.” I should be relieved to shut the door on this part of my life but ‘should’ was the keyword. I wasn’t ready. I wanted more time with her.

“I know that. That’s exactly what I’m saying, Justin. We’re done. No more hooking up. No more sneaking around. It’s over.” Maggie was overly confident, not a hint of hesitation.

The woman standing in front of me had forced me to face the moment I’ve feared for years. The one I’ve spent my entire adult life avoiding. In all of five minutes, she turned my biggest fear into reality. The one where the words coming out of someone else’s mouth, send my heart plummeting to the ground. Emotions I’ve been avoiding; the only reason I’ve kept her at a distance. Obviously, I didn’t keep her far enough.

“I guess that’s that then. It’s for the best anyway. This never should have gone beyond the broom closet in the hospital.” I ignored the fact that the only reason we continued past the first time was because I wouldn’t let it go. She had been fine with the one and done, but I couldn’t get enough and pushed until the lines that she’d tried to keep clean, were so fucking blurred that my head hurt just thinking about how I was going to move on from this.
