I don’t know what told me to come home. I should have ignored his little outburst, because he was out of line, but I just couldn’t. I wanted to find out what was going on and now that we had the house to ourselves, I thought it was a good time to really work it out.

“I just was worried about you. I expected you to be here and you weren’t. There was no note, text, call and then I saw you partying over there with all of those guys.”

“They are just friends Glenn. That’s it, though it’s not really any of your business. We can’t live together, raise Stephen together and never get romantically involved with anyone else. That doesn’t make any sense.”

“What if I don’t want you to get involved with anyone else?”

“That’s a lot to ask, don’t you think?”

“Not really. I want to be with you, and I want you to be with me. This all didn’t just happen for no reason. What if there was more to this and we are supposed to be together?”

“That can’t happen.”

“Why not? I know that you want me just as badly as I want you. I can feel it from you every time we’re close. Don’t deny it.”

He was right on all accounts. I did want him, was heavily attracted to him and that had only gotten stronger since we’d been staying together, but the truth of the matter was, that I was pulled back for many reasons. Number one being I was afraid. If I fell for him or let him know that I was falling, he would surely end up making me out to be crazy like all the other woman.

I had seen his exes and they all wanted him back. It was something that he did to them. I am not sure really what it was, just that I didn’t want to have anything to do with it. All I wanted to worry about, was the next day. The rest was all just too much to take in all at once.

“Whether I like you or not, doesn’t matter. We’re very different and I don’t think you know how much.”

“Yes, you’re living on love. An artist, that has always had a trust fund, I’m a doctor. I am responsible and you’re flaky. Those things don’t matter. We work together.”

“Geez, I meant in other ways. You are a player and I have told you before that I am not. At all. I haven’t even really dated all that much. You’re too experienced for me and I think you would chew me up and spit me out. I see what you do to girls. You make them crazy and I don’t want to be that way for you. It would make it hard for this to work.”

“So, you’re telling me no to it all, because some of my exes were crazy?”

“No, because I don’t date casually. I don’t get intimate with people casually, or at all really. I am inexperienced in all of that and you’re the king.
