Chapter Seven

“This goddamn computer is so slow,” I said, slamming my hand down on the desk.

“Woah take it easy,” Becca said. She looked at me curiously with her big blue eyes and I avoided her gaze. She had asked to come over just to hang out but I wasn’t exactly the best company right now.

“What’s wrong with you today?”

“Nothing.”

“Are you sure?”

“Nothing’s wrong with me except that this computer is way too slow.”

She said nothing and then turned away from me. “You’ve been a little cranky all day.”

“I’m not cranky. Not at all.” Each word was punctuated by me hitting the keyboard as I practically growled at Becca. I was cranky. Yep. But I didn’t want to tell Becca why. I was too embarrassed to tell her anything. I felt like crap and I didn’t want to tell any of my friends the reason I was so pissed was because of a man. I hadn’t heard from Ty all week. After the night I showed up at his condo, he had pretty much disappeared from my life. I hadn’t received a text, a phone call, just silence. Painful silence. And so I hadn’t reached out to him either. I had too much pride to grovel.

The first day I had been fine. By the second day, I had been staring at my phone willing it to vibrate or ring. But nothing. He had manipulated me. Teased me into sleeping with him. He didn’t take intimacy lightly, he had said. What a joke. He was exactly who I thought he had been: a playboy, a womanizer. And he had gotten me exactly where he wanted. He had known what he was doing when he had left me wanting him that night on my front porch. He had known that his decision to not sleep with me that night had whet my appetite for him. And then he had had his way with me as soon as the opportunity arose. I had made things so easy for him.

I felt like a fool. I was so stupid. I had made another bad choice. I wanted to cry, but I wasn’t going to. I would be strong and just move on. After all, isn’t that what I always did? My love life was like a broken record: stuck on repeat. I was tired of feeling this way, but I didn’t know what to do about it.

“I’m fine, just sleepy.”

“If you say so…. So are you seeing someone this week? Another hot date?”

I shrugged. “Maybe. Don’t know.” I knew Becca was just trying to make conversation, but I didn’t feel like talking. I was too busy feeling sorry for myself.

“Just call him.”

“Call who?”

“Whoever you’re so gaga over.”

“I’m not gaga over anyone.”

“Then why do you keep staring at your phone, willing it to ring?”

I refused to acknowledge what she’d said. “I’m fine. I think I’ll just head out for a walk.” I stood up and glanced at my phone.

I was determined to leave my phone there, but I couldn’t help myself.
