It started right away. I have no one to blame but myself. I knew he wouldn’t back off once I let him start. I asked him to teach me something, and he did, and now he thinks I’m his. His what, is the question.

Lately I’ve avoided being alone with Lance, but I can’t keep that up forever. The three of us hang out all day. And at night? I feel him out there, waiting. It keeps me awake, but I resist the pull. It’s tiring, but so far I’ve managed to keep him at arm’s length. So to speak.

I’m teetering on the brink, here. Right now it’s still my call. I get to say what I am to him. I guess this is what they call a ‘window of opportunity.’ If I don’t define things soon, he’s going to define them for me. I know this in my bones.

So ... will I be his friend? Enemy? Apprentice? Partner in crime? ‘Casual acquaintance’ is already off the table, unfortunately. And I’m sorry, I’m taking ‘girlfriend’s best friend’ off the table, too.

Today I went to the movies with Meg and Lance. Big mistake. And again, I have no one to blame but myself. I should have suggested we see Bloodbath. I have no interest in seeing Bloodbath, but I should have suggested it anyway. We might have had a rip-snorting good time. At the very least, we could have had a laugh. Instead, we went to All I Ask of You. It’s hard to rip and snort at a tear-jerker romance.

The thing is, I always let Meg pick the movie. It never occurred to me that having a boy in the mix would change things. Duh. Lance agreed right away to Meg’s choice, and let’s face it, that should have tipped me off.

All I Ask of You is the biggest date movie ever. Even the cheap-ticket matinee was full of couples. But, as I think I may have mentioned, I'm not exactly in synch with the dating crowd. So I didn’t think of this until we walked into the dim, cool theater and saw all the canoodling going on.

Meg and Lance were sharing a popcorn. Very chummy. A little too chummy, I soon realized. And, wouldn’t you know, I made matters worse by being unwilling to sit next to Lance. I couldn’t exactly explain to Megan that if our elbows collided in the darkness, weird stuff would happen. So when I stepped aside so that Lance could lead us into the row, then waved Megan in ahead of myself, she assumed that I was helping things along, or giving my blessing, or something.

Like I said, I'm not really in touch with the mating rituals of my peers. Protocol evidently dictates that when two girls go to the movies with one boy, they sit girl-boy-girl. Unless there is a romantic interest in the mix. So when we sat girl-girl-boy, Meg and Lance looked like they were together. And this, unfortunately, made Megan practically drunk with joy.
