Chapter 13

Meredith

When Kyle went out to take his phone call, I finally had a chance to breathe. I was really feeling the pressure. Talking about this kind of stuff always made me feel that way.

Ever since Kyle and I had slept together – again – I had been finding it hard to focus at work. Even my day off filled with fun, relaxation, and catching up with Ella hadn't been enough to get him off my mind. It was unnerving, because guys rarely got under my skin like this. It seemed the more I tried to get him off my mind, the more persistently he would pop into my thoughts.

I was fairly certain the last thing Kyle wanted was a relationship. Every now and then, it seemed there was something more to the way he was looking at me and talking to me than mere physical and sexual attraction, but the odds were that was just my mind playing tricks on me. Kyle was not the kind of guy who wanted to settle down.

It was crazy to even think about such possibilities, wasn't it? I mean, this guy was a serious playboy. He and I had met and immediately enjoyed a drunken one-night stand. What evidence was there that he had any desire whatsoever to be in a relationship? With me, or anyone else. And even if he did, how could I totally trust a guy like him? He was rumored to be a playboy; I’d looked him up the other day and seen the articles.

And, of course, there was the fact that I didn't want a relationship. I was enjoying being single and had been for quite some time. I had my own things that I enjoyed doing, my own time, and I didn't have to answer to anyone. I liked that, and it worked for me. On top of that, I had this really demanding, challenging new job that took up a lot of my time and energy. I didn't think that there was any point in being in a relationship, not at this stage of my life.

Despite all this, though, here I was, thinking about being in a relationship.

He walked back into the restaurant. I immediately had to wonder what he had been talking about on the phone, because he looked upset. He pulled out his chair and sat down across from me, scowling.

“Something wrong?” I asked.

He shook his head. “No, nothing. Just, uh...some company stuff. Nothing to worry about though. Let's forget it and enjoy our evening.”

He was hiding something, but I didn't think this was the time to push him to tell me about it. If he wanted to tell me, he could. If not, that was fine.

“Okay,” I agreed.

“More wine?” he asked as he finished his glass.

“Sounds good,” I said.

He topped off both of our glasses and then drank a long sip of his.

“I hope you're not planning on getting wasted tonight,” I said, “because I'm going to stop drinking after this bottle is finished.
