Chapter 6: Megan

I felt relieved that Pete didn’t push me about the Tony issue. That really showed that he was nothing like my ex. Tony always pushed me to do things that I wasn’t ready for and somehow convinced me that it was in my best interest. Pete was refreshing. And I really liked him.

He walked me home that night and part of me wanted to invite him in. The other part of me, however, liked that we were taking things kind of slowly in that department. I thought about the old school rule of waiting until the third date… I liked that idea with Pete. I wanted it to be special when we did sleep together. I didn’t want everything to be led by passion, although I was sure there was passion in his eyes when I kissed him goodnight. His arms wrapped around me and I wanted him to never let me go. But at the same time, I needed to show restraint. I wanted things with him to be different. And, I guess, I was still a little scared after Tony.

I watched him walk down the road before I went inside. He was watching me too, walking backward in this incredibly cute way so he could see me for just a little bit longer. This is what it’s supposed to feel like, it’s supposed to feel good, I thought to myself as I walked back inside. I had butterflies in my stomach, but instead of them filling me with questions, like they had with Tony, this time I just felt happy.

I went to bed thinking about Pete and even dreamed about him. His tall, lanky frame bent over me as he kissed me, wrapping me in his long, muscular arms. When I woke up, there was already a smile on my face.

I went through the morning and the first part of the afternoon in a daze. I couldn’t help but think about seeing Pete later that day. I wished he was doing my tattoo. He’d said he wasn’t ready to do a piece that intricate, but I kind of knew that he was scared simply because it was me. And that was sweet.

At 2 pm, Kimberly called me wanting to meet up. She’d just finished her shift and wanted to hang out. I told her about the tattoo with a sinking feeling. I knew that she would want to come with me. And she did. In fact, she insisted on it. She said it was to take my mind off of the pain of being inked, but I knew she just wanted to be around Tommy. It almost made me cringe, the fact that she simply wasn’t getting the message from him.

We showed up at the tattoo parlor at the same time. Tommy arrived a few minutes later; apparently, he’d taken the rest of the day off. He was in an exceptionally good mood. I thought about the woman from the other night, the owner of the bakery down the road, the one he’d gone to talk to.
