When I got back home, no one was up, and I was able to take a long shower. I replayed the evening in my mind, worried that I was never going to be able to walk straight again. I am sure that I would be able to, but by Monday? That was the real question and I wasn’t sure.

Chauncey must have heard me getting up and moving around because I heard the door open. She shut it behind her, and I knew what she was going to say.

“You little hoochie.”

Okay, not exactly what she was going to say, but close.

“What?”

“You know what.”

I pulled the curtain back and stuck my head out. “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Then tell me that you didn’t just rock that man’s world after all those meetings?”

I sighed out loud and closed the curtain. She could hear the tone; she didn’t need to see the defeat in my face as well. It was redundant.

“It wasn’t like that, Chauncey.”

“Yet you are in one hell of a good mood right now. I want to know what happened.”

“You know what happened.”

“I want details.”

I didn’t know if I wanted to give them. I mean, I wasn’t even sure what happened. I mean, I knew. Of course, I knew, but I didn’t have time to process it. It was hard to deal with everything I had going on in my head.

“It was like nothing that I have ever felt before, and I mean that, Chauncey. It was amazing.”

She pulled the curtain back and I covered up. “Really?”

“Yeah, so you’re telling me that it was good?”

“So good.”

“I thought Michael was the only one for you.”

“Michael was before I knew.”

“Knew what?”

“That things could be so much different.”

She had this look of shock and I can't say that I blamed her. I never thought that I would feel like this, but here I was. I knew for one reason or another, what happened between me and Harvey would not be repeated elsewhere. I didn't even know if it would be repeated with us like that again, but I was anxious to find out.

“You have to tell me what it is that you mean.”

I pulled the curtain back so that I couldn't see her anymore. I turned the water off and put a towel around me. It became clear that I was not going to be able to enjoy my shower anymore. I had just wanted to sit there and think about everything, really soak it in. I couldn't do that if she was sitting there staring at me like she was at the moment.

Once I got out, I told her that I meant what I said.

“Why are you talking in riddles?”

I shrugged, because I didn't really have an answer. I wasn't sure what was going on or why he was so much different. I just know that I had never felt this way before and it was all because of Harvey. What it meant for me and for Anna and for the future, I wasn't really sure about any of that just yet.
