Chapter 12

Jake

Of all the things Sarah said to me — well, technically she shouted them at me — on Saturday morning, there’s one that stings the most: I can’t believe I was just thinking that maybe we stood a chance. A second chance. One that I’ve now effectively blown. Now I’m haunted by the fact that she was actually considering it — until that moment.

After Friday night, I was sure we would get back together. When I woke up that morning and found her in my apartment, it just felt right. And now I have no doubt that she felt the same way, was thinking the same thing. That is, until she saw that stupid Instagram post. What the hell was I thinking?

In my happy beer-buzzed state, I posted a picture that completely ruined my future chance at happiness with the perfect girl. Perfect woman. Perfect for me. I basically screwed myself in less than one minute. That’s how long it took to do the deed. Good going, Jake.

I spent the rest of the weekend trying to reach her, wanting to apologize. I called and texted until she blocked me. Of course I took down the photo immediately. The damage was done though: There were already loads of comments, some congratulating us as a new couple, others bitching about how I was off the market, or Sarah was off the market, or how we both sucked and deserved each other. The snarky social media machine works quickly.

Sarah said she never wanted to speak to me again and she seems intent on sticking to her resolution — but I can’t give up just yet. In any case, some apology flowers are due, whether it leads to a change of heart on her side or not. I owe her that. On Monday morning, I get up early so I have time to stop by the florist before work. When I ask for one dozen red roses, the florist shoots me a suspicious look.

“What did ya do, bud? Get caught with another lady?”

“Nothing like that, but worse if you can believe it, looks like I hit a whole new level of stupid,” I tell him.

“Well shit,” he says, grinning, “better make it two dozen then.”

Maybe he’s right. I sigh. I get two-dozen red roses and make my first move: a public apology. If she won’t take my calls or answer my texts, maybe she’ll at least pay attention to social media. Plus, I want to make it clear to all the followers of @Jake_And_Pepper and @LuxeOnLex that I’m the one who screwed up. And that I know it.

I post a photo of the roses with the caption “Apology flowers for being an asshole” and tag her account, wondering if she’ll actually look at it.

As usual the follower comments are a mixed bag. Some people are clearly on team @LuxeOnLex and never want her to talk to me again: “Posting that pic on Friday was a dick move!”, “You shouldn’t brag about sleeping with a girl like that!”, “I bet your dick is tiny! She should have cut it off!”.
