“Nothing worth having in life is simple, but the answer is yes. That night at the restaurant when you found me in the alley—that was a setup but—”

“I don’t fucking care. You played me. You fucking played me. Everything out of your damn mouth was nothing but lies.”

I was hurt, and I refused to listen. Shit. Shit. Shit.

I want to know Rachel’s side of the story, even now, fourteen years later. However, it seems Rachel has put our past to rest and moved forward with her life, and based off the tone in her voice, this isn’t a topic she wants to rehash.

“Maybe it does matter. Maybe nothing worth having in life is simple.” I throw her words back at her, and I can tell by the hitch in her voice that she picked up on what I said.

“You’re right. Nothing worth having in life is simple. Every relationship I have takes work, takes effort, takes trust.” She overstates the word trust.

“Coffee. Let’s meet and talk and then we can either agree to more coffee or agree that we’d rather get our coffee from other places.” My innuendo wasn’t lost on Rachel. My emotions spike while I silently wait for her answer.

“Sure. Coffee.” She stresses the word coffee as if she was making sure I understood it wasn’t a real date, something I have done countless times to women, and let me say, it sucks being on the receiving side.

“I have a lot going on this week. Could we try for next Monday?” My heart sinks hearing her comment. It’s only Wednesday, and since I started talking to her, all I’ve wanted to do is ask if I could come and see her in person, and now she’s telling me I have to wait another five days.

“Jet?”

“Yes, Monday. Do you care where?” I rush to answer.

“There’s a place at 86th and 3rd, Espresso. Can you meet me there, say seven o’clock?”

“It’s a date,” I reply and again my innuendo wasn’t lost on Rachel.

“Oh. O...kay. I’ll see you Monday.” She hangs up before I can say anything else, leaving me to wonder why my life has suddenly crossed paths with the only woman who’s managed to leave me broken.
