He responded right away telling me that he would be there. That was the best thing about Moves. He never turned down a drink.

When I got there, I grabbed a beer and headed straight for a table in the corner. I knew that Moves could happily set up shop at the center table and start holding court, but I wanted a more private conversation.

Moves walked in and made a beeline for the table. Once we had settled in with our drinks, Moves looked me in the eye and raised his brows. “So? What’s going on?”

“How do you know something is going on?”

“Because you look practically giddy,” Moves said.

I rolled my eyes. However I looked, I knew it wasn’t giddy.

“Seriously, tell me,” Moves said.

“I’ve been seeing this chick,” I said.

Moves was never one for underreaction. He slammed his palm flat on the table and let out a whoop. Then he leaned back and gave a low whistle.

“You, Pin Gallegos, are actually seeing someone?” he asked. “Not hooking up, not just doing casual hang-outs with?”

I rolled my eyes. “Ok, ok I’ve been single for a while.”

“Not single,” Moves said. “Anti-love.”

“I am not anti-love,” I said. “You can’t be anti-something if it doesn’t exist.”

“Jesus,” Moves muttered.

“Ok, ok,” I said. “Can I just get back to the current issue, I could use your advice.”

Moves perked up at that. “But of course. The master is always happy to help the apprentice.”

I took a swig of beer. “I would not call you a master. But I will admit, you have more faith in relationships than I do.”

Moves nodded.

“And I guess I wanna know why?” I asked. “None of your relationships have worked out, but despite a string of failures, you’re still ready to dive into the next one?”

“Right,” Moves said. “I feel like I just got insulted.”

I shrugged and studied the table. I didn’t mean to call Moves’ past relationships failures, but he’d had five girlfriends in the last five years. Every single one, he had called his soul mate. I wanted to know how he had gone from soulmates to nothing. And I wanted to know how he got back up and kept moving after each relationship that he had wanted to last forever ended.

“Don’t know how else to ask it,” I said.

Moves pressed his mouth into a firm line and furrowed his brow. “S’alright. You may have a point.”

“I just don’t know how to trust a relationship,” I said. “I trusted one once, a long time ago. Didn’t end well.”

“Ok, but trust is so boring,” Moves said.

I gave him a quizzical look. Everyone knew that trust was the cornerstone of a healthy relationship and all that sappy stuff.

“It’s not just about trust,” Moves said. “Don’t get me wrong, trust is a big part of it, but it’s about something more. It’s more fun and exciting than that.”

“I don’t get it,” he said.

“You say you don’t have fun with this girl?” Moves asked.

“Of course I do,” I said.

“So enjoy that first,” Moves said. “You don’t have to go straight to the heavy stuff.
