Chapter 12

I braced myself when I picked up the phone. I knew Sylvia would demand all the between-the-sheets details with Adam and I hated to disappoint her again.

“How are things in Love Land?” I asked as soon as I answered in an attempt to steer the conversation away from Adam and me and focus on her and Ben instead. She laughed nervously. I knew she was still reluctant to accept the fact that she was capable of having actual feelings for a member of the opposite sex.

“I don’t think he wants to be my boyfriend anymore than I really want him to be,” she said.

“Why do you say that?”

“I think he has a date tonight. With someone else.”

“Are you sure about that?” I was genuinely shocked by this sudden revelation. I thought for sure after watching the two of them together that Ben wanted more than anything to secure a more permanent status in Sylvia’s life. It didn’t make sense that he would suddenly drop her for another girl. Could it be possible that Sylvia had actually been right all along?

“Pretty sure. I was at the mall this morning and I ran into Janie. She said she heard that Ben was going out with Amy tonight. I didn’t believe it but when I called Ben, he told me he had other plans and he couldn’t see me. He wouldn’t tell me why but he doesn’t have to.”

“It might not be what you think. Maybe Amy is just a friend?” I knew I was grasping at straws but I just couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that Ben wasn’t totally in love with Sylvia the way I thought he was and more than anything, I hated to see Sylvia get hurt, especially when I was the one to push her in that direction in the first place. I didn’t need her broken heart on my conscience anymore than I wanted my own broken heart. Why did life have to be so complicated and confusing? I didn’t know what to say to make things right.

“Give it up, Alex. He’s not that into me and you know what? I’m okay with that. I’m better off. Life was a lot better before I had to start worrying about maintaining a relationship. I’m going back to my carefree ways.”

“Oh, Sylvia, don’t give up hope. The right guy will come along.”

“You don’t get it, do you, Alex? I don’t want the right guy. I’m not sitting around pining for Prince Charming to come sweep me off my feet like you are. I’m more than happy to just live my life and have some fun and to me, that’s all guys are - fun. I’m a lot better off.”

“You don’t mean that.”

“Actually, I do. I’m happy that he’s seeing Amy. I’m happy that I found out about it. It’s a relief and I’ve already moved on. I’m seeing someone else tonight and that will probably be the end of things with Ben.”

“Okay,” I said even though I wasn’t convinced that she really meant what she said.
