I have a feeling that this group of women could show world leaders a thing or two if they put their minds to it.

I glare at my best friend, and it’s like deja vu from the other night. Only this time, instead we’re in a restaurant and not my apartment. So unless I want to get up and walk the hell away, then I’m stuck waiting for her to calm down. I tap my fingers impatiently on the top of the table as Sadie continues to laugh. “Would you fuck off?” I growl at her in annoyance.

Sadie snorts, laughs for a few more seconds, and then finally tries to get herself under control. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” she gasps out. “But you have to admit that it’s funny considering that not even a couple of days ago you said that you weren’t going to have anything to do with the man and now, here you are telling me he showed up last night and you let him right back in. Though, with the way you look today, it must have been just as good as the first time,” she adds with a suggestive wiggle of her brows.

“That’s what you got out of that?” I huff. “You’re supposed to be talking me out of giving him a chance, not laughing at me.”

She rolls her eyes. “Damn, I thought good dick would make you less whiny, not more.”

I flip her off. “I need a new best friend.”

“Pfft, you love me and you know it. And as for talking you out of it, no way. And I know I’m repeating myself, but you need to give that big guy a chance. He’s hot as shit from what you said, he can actually satisfy you, and he’s clearly making you want something more. Or you wouldn’t be this upset about it?” I glare at her. Why does she have to be so logical about this stuff anyway? “So stop being a pussy and put the guy out of his misery,” she orders.

“It’s not that simple,” I try to argue again. “He’s⁠—”

“He scares you,” she interrupts, her face going from amused to serious instantly. It’s a rare look for her. “Because he’s not like anyone else, and he makes you feel things you’ve never felt before. Which of course, makes you want to run the other way because you’re worried he’s going to be like the other douchebags you’ve dated. And I get that, but you also picked guys you knew were safe and wouldn’t turn into anything truly serious. This Viper is not that, clearly, and just because you’re scared, you’re about to toss away something you know you want.”

I want to argue that she’s wrong. Dead wrong. But I also can’t seem to push those very same words out of my mouth. Is she right? Did I purposely pick guys that would never commit to me, or I wouldn’t end up committing to them because they were easy to handle? I’ve never been heartbroken by a break up so far, and I don’t really want to chance losing that streak.
