Later, when Fortune drives me home, he’s like a different person, all mellow and sweet. He tells me about his family and I realize he’s not as big a jerk as I wanted to think he was. Which is a damn shame, because it means I might end up liking him for real after all. He tells me he lives at home because he takes care of his mom and his little brothers, who are something like eight and ten. His mom is sick, she’s got chronic fatigue syndrome, and he says sometimes she doesn’t get out of bed for days. He’s basically the father around his house, which for some reason he doesn’t seem to mind. All that makes me like him even more.

Even though he gets all soft talking to me on the way home, he doesn’t kiss me goodbye like last time. He basically just stops the car and keeps his hands on the steering wheel, like he’s in a rush to go somewhere else. I pretend everything is cool, and tell him I’ll see him around. I watch the reflection of his car lights in the lobby window as I walk away.

If I can’t be with Michael, then I might as well be with Fortune. I promise myself that I’ll try to give him a chance, even though my heart is somewhere else. And to be honest, it feels good to have someone wanting me.
