Carson

I thought that if I explained Gillian’s visit, Felicity would freak out. I thought she’d fight for me. I never thought she’d just accept it and move on. The fact that she didn’t argue, that makes me wonder. This thing we’re doing, is it just fun to her? I know what we agreed upon, but I also thought it stemmed from a love she has for me deep inside. I love her and have loved her for many years. I’ve wanted her. I was just too afraid of ruining our friendship over it. I thought she wanted me in the same way, but her response about Gillian wasn’t what I expected. Maybe she really did only want a night of fun with me. A night that has turned into two, and I plan on making it turn into three, then four, then five if she allows it.

But her lack of response doesn’t help me out any. I was expecting an ultimatum. I expected her to say, it’s her or me. I would have chosen her immediately and wouldn’t have thought twice about it. But the fact that she didn’t say that makes me wonder if she wants to be with me at all. Is there anything worth fighting for here?

Once we get back into the car and make our way into town, I’m so turned around by these thoughts that I feel the need to take the edge off. “Want to stop and grab a drink?” I ask, glancing at her in the darkness.

“Sure,” she agrees, a smile playing on her lips.

I pull in at a local bar and we both climb out, heading inside. I head up to the bar and order two beers and two shots of tequila. The bartender rushes off to get the order and I turn around to take in the bar while I wait. The place is pretty crowded which surprises me since it’s so close to Christmas, but maybe everyone here is trying to escape their family as much as I am. I see some familiar faces that I haven’t seen in several years and some I don’t recognize. Then I find Felicity sitting at a table in the darkened corner. There’s some guy standing next to her with a beer in his hand, a smile on his face.

“Here you go,” the bartender says, handing over our drinks. I manage to take all four things over to the table and when Felicity sees me approaching, she smiles and her eyes light up. That’s what I like to see.

“Carson, this is Chad. You remember him, don’t you?” she asks.

I look at the man standing next to our table and examine his face. Suddenly, it’s not his face I’m seeing. It’s the face that I remember from years ago, but much older now. He’s the guy she brought to the skate rink that night.

I nod. “Of course, how you doing, man?”

He smiles and nods. “Pretty good. I didn’t know the two of you were back in town.
