Chapter 11

Mike didn’t speak the entire ride home and he didn’t invite me up to his place, either. I apologized a couple of more times but it didn’t make things better. I went to bed alone, still wondering what to do next. I’d been thinking I needed to get out of this situation but the possibility of being dumped made me want to rethink the entire thing.

The next night, I walked the eight blocks to Mellie’s place hoping that whatever was going to happen that night would take my mind off of all the not-so-cool things that were happening all around me. Following the engagement, she and Kevin had moved into an apartment near Prospect Park. While the life she was living was further away from my life than ever, the actual apartment where it was happening was closer than ever.

Mellie opened the door with a big smile on her face, a glass of wine in her hand, and the sound of female laughter trailing behind her. With her dark hair, blue eyes, and good looks, Mellie looked like an Eastern European model. But I loved her because she had a wicked sense of humor and was always down to eat. You wouldn’t know this by looking at her but she could really put it away. “Audrey! You’re on time!”

As we hugged, I murmured “Liar. I’m at least fifteen minutes late.”

“Oh, honey, that’s your version of being on time.” I couldn’t argue with the truth. She led me into her apartment and showed me where I could put all of my winter wear. As I got rid of my coat, scarf, gloves, and hat, I looked around. She had a cute little place that had obviously been recently renovated. Exposed brick mixed with shiny stainless steel. Open plan kitchen with an island that looked out onto the living room. Loft ceilings. Skylight in the living room. Big windows lining one side of the apartment and I could see a deck out there. The last time I’d checked, Mellie lived in a mediocre third floor walk-up with two roommates. She had definitely been upgraded.

I put up my stuff and joined the other ladies in the living room. I recognized two of the girls but I hadn’t met the redhead yet. Mellie introduced me to everyone. “Everyone this is Audrey. Audrey, you remember Gloria and Cheyenne. You met them at brunch. And this is Bridget, my best friend from high school.” I waved at all of them awkwardly until Mellie pushed a big glass of red wine into my hand. I would have preferred a beer but at this point, I was happy to drink any alcohol available. I downed it in three gulps and asked for another one.

Bridget wrinkled her perky little nose. “You may want to slow down a bit. We’ve got a lot of work to do here.”

“Work?” I thought I was coming to a dinner.

“Well, you know,” Mellie explained. “We want to get some details down and get started on projects.
