Chapter Fourteen

Maricela looked at me strangely when I got home, it was nearing eleven and I practically fell straight into bed. But she wouldn't let me go to sleep. I lay in my bed with the covers pulled up all the way to my chin and Maricela wanted to talk. Even closing my eyes wouldn't stop her.

"What kept you at work so late?" She volleyed.

I counted to five before answering. A part of me just wanted to tell her to shut up, but I knew that would make her even more suspicious. If it was Andrea, maybe I would talk, but Maricela and I were just roommates, not close friends.

"I had some reports to file," I finally replied.

"Yeah? But you never stay late," she was grinning like she could tell exactly what had happened. And it made me want to keep the information from her even more.

"I did this time." I flipped over onto my side, showing her my back. "I'm super tired. Good night."

She tried to talk a little more, but when I didn't reply she accepted my decision.

The next morning I was halfway to work by the time I remembered my date with Dylan. And for the rest of the train ride I was busy debating myself on whether or not I should cancel it. I didn't want to let whatever it was between me and Evan interrupt my personal life. It wasn't a relationship and I had no plans to sleep with him again.

But, and I was just being completely honest with myself here, I wouldn't be that surprised if it happened. If every time we were alone together for more than five minutes we started making out, I didn't see how we would avoid it. Sure, I could try to apply willpower, but how well did that ever work?

Though even if Evan and I started some casual hook up thing, it didn't mean that I couldn't date other guys. If it happened, and it probably wasn't going to, but if it did, I could just call it off once something else became serious.

And it was just one date!

It wasn't anything long term, just a play and dinner. By the time I was back on the street and walking the final blocks to the office, I had decided. Yes to the date, yes to fun with Dylan, and no worrying about whatever was going on between me and Evan. Easy enough.

But since I'd forgotten about it in the morning, I had to rush home and change my clothes after work in under ten minutes if I was going to meet Dylan on time. I tried not to spend too much time picking out the right outfit. In the end I settled on a knee length black dress with red polka-dots. The A-line skirt twirled around me if I spun and the little black pumps I matched with it made me feel like a real lady. It wasn't something I'd ever wear to work, but I felt like being uber-feminine for one night.
