“Stupid,” I hiss at myself as I drive back to Courtney’s, pounding the steering wheel. “So unbelievably stupid.”

Christian has everything going for him. He’s a nice guy. He’s talented. He has dreams. And as much as I feel for him, as badly as I want him, I never should have crossed the friendship line. I had no business kissing him and complicating things when my life is complicated and fucked up enough as it is.

I reach Courtney’s house and pull in the garage. Ichabod is lying across the top of the sofa, his favorite spot. He lifts his head as I walk in and purrs as I scratch the top of his head.

“Hungry, buddy-boo?” I whisper. He gives me a little squeak in return. I take that to mean yes.

I head into the kitchen and pop open a can of chicken bits in gravy. It’s a prescription formula, since he’s prone to urinary infections, but it must be pretty tasty based on the way he rushes after me into the kitchen and does figure-eights between my ankles, wrapping his tail around my legs. I scoop the contents into his ceramic dish, then place the dish in the feeder. It’s at the perfect height for him, allowing for an ergonomic feeding experience that also helps with digestion, as Courtney explained it to me. Girl loves her cat.

I lean on the counter, watching Icky’s devour his meal. I should head up to bed with him and fall asleep to the feel of him curled up beside my head, listening to his purrs, but I’m too wound up from the night to lie down. Correction: I’m too wound up from the events of the last thirty minutes.

Maybe it was my need to feel connected to someone when I feel so lost. Maybe it was the velvety promise of the darkness wrapped around us; I’ve never been scared of the dark. I’ve always been seduced by it. Maybe it was the magnetism he exuded on stage that still had me reeling because I realize it’s always been there. He just lets it show more when he’s in his element. But the way his hands felt on me, the way his lips moved under mine, the way he quickly took control by yielding to my control was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before, and I know on a deep, intrinsic level, that I will never again experience it in this lifetime.

I close my eyes, and the feeling of his hand cupping my jaw, the feel of his mouth taking over, the sound of his ragged breathing all overwhelm me.

I’m still shaking.

“A drive,” I say out loud, grabbing Courtney’s keys. “That’ll calm me down.” I’ll blast the music and roll the window down to get the cool air in my face. I’ll drive until I stop shaking, fill up Court’s tank, and go home to bed with Icky curled beside me.

After about fifteen minutes of driving, I do feel calmer. Nirvana’s “Something In The Way” is on a radio station devoted to playing nineties and early 2000s rock.
