It’s A New Day

Marie

I threw my purse on the table so hard it slid across the surface and fell on the other side.

Francesca shut the blinds to the window so Axel couldn’t see into the house. A grimace similar to my own was on her face. “I just want to slap him…”

Jason stood there with his hands in his pockets, remaining silent.

“He’s such an ass,” I snapped. “What did I ever see in him?”

“I tried telling you that in the beginning,” Francesca said. “But did you listen to me? No.”

Now I wish I had.

“Come on, Jason. Let’s go have sex.” I grabbed his hand and yanked him down the hallway.

“Uh…alright.” He followed me into my bedroom and shut the door behind him.

I slipped off my heels then removed my jacket. “Let’s get to it.”

Jason sat at the foot of the bed, still clothed. He watched me with expressionless eyes.

“What are you doing?” I grabbed the hem of his shirt and tried to pull it off.

“Marie, sit down.” He grabbed my wrists gently and pulled them away. “Come on, let’s talk.”

“Talk dirty?” I sat beside him and felt the bed bounce underneath me.

“We aren’t having sex.”

“Why the hell not?” I pulled Jason in the house just for that reason. I wanted to get back at Axel, to hurt him the way he hurt me. I was tired of letting him walk all over me, breaking me apart over and over.

“Marie, do you honestly want to have sex with me?” He watched my expression, his eyes already containing my answer. “I didn’t think so. As much as I enjoy sex, I really don’t want to be with a woman who’s thinking about another man.”

Embarrassed, I looked away.

“And it sounds like something happened between you guys…”

I hadn’t told Jason we slept together. “I went to his place because he was going through a hard time. One thing led to another and we spent the night together. I thought we got back together, but to him it was just a booty call.” Jason and I weren’t exclusive but he had a right to know where I slept at night—and whom I slept with.

He didn’t seem hurt or disappointed, but the news was significant to him. “Marie, I like you. I think you’re pretty and smart. We have a great time together. But I really don’t want to get caught up in anything…”

I didn’t blame him for feeling that way. “I understand, Jason.”

“It doesn’t seem like this relationship with Axel is over. I’ll never have a chance under these conditions. I’m not a romantic guy, but I don’t want to keep competing against a guy I’ll never beat.”

“It is over,” I said. “But you have every right to feel that way.” Jason and I were never serious but the relationship didn’t start off right. We never had a chance because I never gave it a chance. I kept thinking about Axel, hoping our love would rekindle instead of focusing on the great guy in front of me.
