When Jet arrived that evening he looked a little sheepish. When I opened the door, he came straight in and sat on the couch.

“Hey, Jet, would you like something to drink?”

“What are you having?”

“Oh, you pretty much destroyed me last night, so I'm drinking water and coffee and this point. But you are welcome to have a beer if you want.”

He laughed. “Ahh no, I've been feeling sort of rough myself since I got up, so I'll have a coffee as well.”

I went into the kitchen, and grabbed a mug out of the cupboard. I picked up the pot of coffee I had brewed and poured him a cup. It was hot and steamy as it rose from the cup.

“What do you take in it?” I asked.

“Just cream for me, thanks.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I don't intake a lot of sugar, believe it or not.”

I nodded and retrieved the cream from the fridge. I poured it into the mug and stirred it with a spoon. I carried the cup into the living room, and handed it to him. I sat beside him on the couch.

He stared at me almost longingly, and I had the urge to touch him. I restrained myself, however, and waited for him to say something to me. I didn't wait long.

“Can I ask you something, Natalie?”

“Of course,” I answered, although I was a little fearful of what he was about to say.”

“Did I do something wrong last night?”

Surprised, I said, “No of course not; I had fun at the bar. Why would you ask that?”

“Well, because you came over and started kissing me, and fifteen minutes later you were walking out my door. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's a little unusual, don't you think?” He laughed nervously.

It was exactly what Julie and I had discussed that day, and I was embarrassed that it was so blatantly obvious to Jet as well. I was a mess, and even he was noticing it.

I chuckled, unsure how to explain myself. Well, my mother always taught me that honesty was the best policy. “Look, Jet, every time we get into these situations that involve alcohol, I end up naked in your bed. I'm not entirely sure that would ever happen if I wasn't drunk. So it makes me wonder how I actually feel about you in the light of day. That's why I always bail on you the next day, because I don't know what else to do. I regret the impulses that get me into those situations, and because I can't deal with them, I just bail. But it happens all the time with us, so I think it's just making things worse between us.”

I sighed, feeling better that I had unleashed all that confusion onto Jet, for better or worse.

“Wow, that's heavy.”

I laughed. “Well, you asked for it.”

He ran his hands through his hair. “Yeah, man, I guess I did.”

I smiled and took a sip of my coffee. This was one of those times when a guy could run screaming into the night if he really wanted to.
