I tossed and turned for the entire night, finally falling into a fitful doze around two a.m.. This morning, my mind is still buzzing with the decisions I had made, and the ones looming in my future.

As much as Andries is the catalyst for my choices, I knew I had to make them for my own wellbeing too. Because still, after everything that had happened, I wasn’t even remotely considering a relationship with him. It was too much, too fast, and I didn’t date as a personal rule. Desiring Andries was one thing, but being serious with him was another beast altogether.

Still, I wished he had at least messaged me when he reached home, but I suppose this is his bit of revenge from the night at the cabaret. Ignoring me, just like I had ignored him.

If I had been certain that he had gone home by himself, I’d be more comfortable playing the long game with him, waiting patiently until he either came crawling to me or we had another clandestine meeting out in public. But there’s one variable that makes me more impatient than I wanted to be: Tatiana.

Andries mentioning how he was going to fuck her could have been a quick, meaningless comment, but why would he hold himself back when she was so close to literally throwing herself at him? Tatiana is gorgeous, in that innocent, vulnerable way that so many men like. I can’t really fault Andries a single bit if he takes her home, dressing room kiss or no.

The more I think about it, the more it consumes me. Would he read her poetry in bed? Brush her long, shining hair off her bare shoulders? No, there’s no way he took her home last night, but until I know for sure, I feel like I’m going to obsess about it. So I decide to do something so totally out of character that it’s almost comical.

I text him first.

How was your evening with Tatiana? I can’t help but press enter. Yes, I know, it’s ridiculous. I shouldn’t care. But I just need to know.

To my greatest surprise, he replies a few minutes later.

Lovely. And yours with Charlie?

I huff instantly. Lovely is the exact same word I used to describe Tatiana. Did he take her to his apartment and fuck her? Of course he did. He’s a freshman in college, living in Amsterdam on his own. Who was I kidding? She must have jumped on him as soon as they left the opera. The way she looked at him, jeez, she was nearly eating him alive.

From where I’m sitting on my bed, I want to throw the phone across the room and forget that Andries even existed, but my brand-new obsessive nature gets the better of me.

“Excellent,” I text him back, before pulling a pillow over my face and screaming into it. I hate him. I hate what he’s doing to me. This has to just be a passing mania because I can’t live like this forever.
