17. ERIC

Talk about complicated. I have no idea what possessed me to go down on Molly at her friend’s party. She just seemed so stressed out, like she was only moments away from falling apart. I thought maybe if I could relieve her of some of the tension she was carrying around, she might be able to relax a little.

Yeah, that didn’t exactly work as I’d hoped. She got all flustered, and as soon as she found her panties, she was out the door.

Déjà fucking vu.

This time I ran after her. I caught up with her in the main room of the loft where all the party people were, and I grabbed her arm before she could lose herself in the crowd. And wouldn’t you know it? This was all happening during the countdown to the New Year.

“Ten...nine...” her friends chanted in unison.

“Molly!” I shouted.

“What? What do you want from me, Eric?”

“Eight...seven...”

“We haven’t resolved anything yet.”

She only shrugged in response.

“Six...five...four...”

“We need to talk about how we’re going to move forward from here,” I told her.

“Later,” she said. “This is not the time.”

“Three...two...one... Happy New Year!”

I had to admit that she had a point there.

All around us, people were blowing into noisemakers and popping champagne bottles. They were kissing and hugging and laughing and high-fiving and exchanging best wishes for a happy New Year.

But amongst all the cheer, things between Molly and me were really uncomfortable. So much for my pathetic attempt to ease her tension by eating her out...

“I need to go,” she said. “I need to get out of here.”

“Fine. But we have to meet up soon and have a serious talk about how things are going to be, going forward.”

“Fine.”

“Tomorrow,” I said firmly.

“Tomorrow?” She crinkled her nose. “Why so soon?”

There’s no way I’m letting her wriggle out of this. Enough is enough. I’ve been excluded for way too long already.

“Tomorrow morning,” I instructed her. “Early, so we have plenty of time to hash things out before the game. Now give me your number.”

She did as I instructed, and I dialed it right away, just to make sure she wasn’t attempting to blow me off with a fake number. I’m happy to say that her phone started playing the music from the Psycho shower scene when I called it.

And to her credit, she picked up when I called earlier this morning. We arranged to meet at Tartine in the West Village. I was antsy to get here, so I ended up arriving about fifteen minutes early. And it looks like Molly is right on time.

“Hey,” she says, brushing the snowflakes out of her hair as she unwinds the scarf from her neck.

Her cheeks are rosy from the cold, and her eyes are brighter than ever. I’m struck again by how beautiful she is. I stand up to greet her, giving her a quick kiss on her cool cheek.

“Hey. Thanks for coming.”

She shrugs and takes a seat at the table. I do the same.

Molly is clearly a fan of this place because she doesn’t even open the menu.
