Something strange was going on.

A few weeks had passed, along with several more dates, but Luke and I had yet to go beyond second base because something always seemed to happen to ruin the moment when we were starting to get really heated up. If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would have thought that we were being watched and intentionally interrupted; as it was, my thoughts were pretty much already along that line. Either Luke got a call to go to the office, or we ran out of time, or we just found ourselves in a public situation where we couldn’t do anything or else risk getting the cops called on us.

It was frustrating as hell. Like, I was the last guy on earth to complain about blue balls. Shit happened. Life interfered. But this was ridiculous. I really liked Luke and how genuine he was, and how much he actually cared about me. He was polite, a gentleman, and he went out of his way to do the little things for me. He even brought me flowers on our third meeting. They were blue hyacinth, apology flowers, meant to make up for when he had to leave; I could have dragged him into my apartment and ripped his clothes off right then and there. Thoughtfulness was so fucking attractive.

It was because of how much I liked him that all this weird business was so annoying. I wanted him to fuck me already. A guy could only be let down so many times like this before he started to wonder if it was even worth it. As much as I wanted it to be, I really was having second thoughts.

Mostly because Luke was now ghosting me. It started after our third date, which was dinner and a movie. We cuddled up together in the back row with our hands all over each other and I almost begged him to skip dinner, except I was starving. If I’d known that date was going to turn out like all the others, I wouldn’t have let my hunger interfere. The morning after, I texted him and he took the whole day to respond. I figured he was just busy, but then that trend continued and got even worse. Sometimes he responded right away; more often, it took him a day or even several days to get back to me.

He always had some reason. Work, family responsibilities. I believed him, for the most part, but really, did he think he was the president? He couldn’t slip me a text whenever he went to the bathroom, or before he went to bed?

I would have moved on if it didn’t excite me so much to hear from him, to see him on the rare occasions when I was able. I daydreamed about him even while at work and in the middle of class. There was no way I could go out and pick up some other random man now, not until I had finished this -whatever it was- with Luke.
