Ten

I drove over to the local supermarket and bought groceries. Hoping the furniture store would do same day delivery, I stocked up. A roast with potatoes and carrots sounded amazing and Blake loved it. I even bought a bottle of wine. The guy didn’t even question my age. He rang it up with everything else. Good thing. I still had a couple weeks before I would be twenty-one.

The roast was in the oven, the groceries were put away and the wine was chilling. All I had left to do was a shower and wait. That’s what I did. I waited. And waited. And waited. For the first time since Blake and I’d gotten close, it didn’t feel okay to call him and I didn’t understand why.

I ate supper alone by the pool at eight. I put everything away at nine. I drank half the bottle of wine by ten and I was drunk by ten thirty. Filling my cup for the third time, I looked at my phone again. Bullshit. This was bullshit. If he was going to be an ass, at least tell me why. I hit send on his number and swallowed more than a sip of alcohol.

“Where the hell are you?” Well that came out a little angrier than I meant for it to.

“In the driveway. I’ll be right in.”

I dropped my phone to the counter and stumbled my way to the door in a stomp. Whoa. Geesh. I was drunk. Drunk and pissed and I wanted him to know it. Maybe not with the angry stomp, I didn’t want to fall.

“Where were you? I sent Pea home with the Holden’s so we could talk.”

“You didn’t tell me, you only said you were here. What do you want to talk about?”

“I don’t know. Why were you in a bar?”

“Makayla, what is this? I had a sandwich and went back to work. I knew I wasn’t going to get to work tomorrow. I wanted to get as much done as I could.”

“I cooked, and I bought wine,” I announced, holding up the almost empty bottle.

“Did you drink it too?”

“Don’t laugh. I’m really mad at you.”

“I’m sorry, baby. Come here.”

Well damn. Why doesn’t anything ever play out the way I think it will in my head? I melted in two point seven seconds. What the hell? “I’m sorry. I’m sorry I was short with you today, and I’m sorry I wasn’t here to help you drink this.”

Was I losing my mind? Was I just being paranoid? Blake was Blake. The same Blake that I loved before I got all crazy. Jesus. It had to be that time of month again. I didn’t know whether to tell him I thought he didn’t want me anymore, or not. I wasn’t one of those girls that sat around and whined because I didn’t get enough attention. Hell. Yes I was. That’s exactly who I was. That was the whole problem. All this stress would strain any relationship. I was feeling needy and whiny.
