It was like my mouth and my brain weren’t connected anymore. More than once today, I said things to Liza I never said to a woman. Not even Natalie. Thinking about Natalie while Liza was still lying beneath me was wrong, and I pushed her out of my head. What I had with Natalie seemed like a lifetime ago and was nothing but an apparition. There was no comparing the two women or the two situations.

Sitting up, I adjusted my pants as Liza did the same with her clothing. She snuck a look at me as she fixed herself before settling back against the seat. I turned to her and opened my mouth to say something, to get myself out of the hole I was digging myself into, but the car stopped at the curb and I closed it again.

It was then I remembered I ordered Monroe to bring us to my apartment. I didn’t bring women to my apartment, I brought them to the hotel, but before we got out of control and ended up fucking in the back of the car, again, I thought my place was closer. Everything suddenly felt out of control and despite my best efforts not to shut down on Liza, I felt my emotions shuttering. I didn’t get close to people, I couldn’t. Last time… I didn’t want to think about last time.

“We’re here,” I said gruffly, flicking the door open with my wrist and hopping out.

I didn’t mean to act like an asshole but I also couldn’t seem to stop from acting like one either.

Liza hesitated a minute, sensing my mood swing, and I wouldn’t have blamed her if she refused to get out of the car. She was trying to hide the hurt and confusion I was causing her but over the last two days, she either opened up to me more or I was getting adept at reading her moods because the emotions were evident on her face. Running a hand through my hair, I turned away from the car for a moment, the cold November air slicing through my thin dress shirt.

Shit, I was royally fucking this up. Once again, I wondered why I was trying so hard. I could cut her off now, let her go and be done with the whole thing before I alienated her even further. Before we both got hurt. Why couldn’t I just let her go?

I turned around, holding out my hand for her to take, so I could try to make up for being abrupt and dismissive. For a minute, I didn’t think she was going to accept, and when she finally did, I breathed a sigh of relief. I didn’t like the implications of what all of this meant and an oppressive feeling gathered in my chest. How could I take back what I said to her on the sidewalk outside the restaurant? Not because I didn’t mean it but because I wasn’t ready for all of this. Not after Natalie…
