Chapter 16

It went all wrong with Rebecca. Rob didn’t know what to do, or how to handle her in that situation. He never intended to sleep with her and even made up his mind when she nearly passed out that he wouldn’t take that major step with her. Until she decided differently. And then, afterwards, she just went to sleep, and he couldn’t, for the life of him, figure out what he should say to her when she woke up. So he retreated from her, since he wasn’t sure what he was feeling towards her.

The phone rang mid-week and he answered it to find Rebecca on the other end. He knew she’d call, and do exactly what she did in the past: coordinate their schedules, take care of things, and express her “Mom” urge and make a plan. He usually stopped by Bethany’s any time he felt the craving for sex, and wasn’t sure what he thought of a planned out, organized appointment sleeping with a woman.

“Hi,” she said.

“Hi.”

“I see we’ve progressed pretty far from this weekend.”

He chuckled. “You want to talk about it?”

“Talk about what? That we had sex? I think we both know that. What we don’t know is what to do next.”

“What does next mean?”

“Next means my daughter. She asked me to call and invite you to her fourth birthday party. So I’m calling to invite you; will you come? It’s on Saturday, here at one o’clock.”

“You called for Karlee?”

“Yes. Unbelievably, yes. She begged me to ask you to come.”

“She wants me to come to her birthday?”

“Yes.”

“Just Karlee wants me to come?”

She sighed. “Fine. You want to be honest with each other, huh? I want you to come.”

“Rebecca, I don’t know. We’re not really...” Anything, he almost said.

“Oh yes, we really are,” Rebecca said in a self-assured tone. “Rob, we didn’t handle Saturday like we should have, but the thing is, we both know I’m not just one of your friends. And you don’t want me to be one. You’ve acted too weird all along about us sleeping together for that to be the case. So come to my daughter’s birthday. It will upset her if you don’t.”

“Now you’re involving your kids in this thing between us?”

She paused. “Yes. I am. I mean, I’m not going to sit them down and tell them I had sex with the nice man I’m writing my book about. But yeah, you’re going to see them and be around them.”

“Why?”

“Rob, just come. Please,” she said softly. He couldn’t refuse that tone, nor could he refuse Karlee asking specifically for him. He cursed the position he was in. He didn’t know what to make of all the responsibility and baggage that Rebecca came with.

“Fine, I’ll come. But when it ruins your party, and your family hates you for asking me, don’t pretend I didn’t warn you.”

“You’re always warning me. Funny how you never take your own warnings. One of these days, you’re going to have to man up and admit how you feel about me.
