It was a hot Saturday afternoon. The sky was clear. The birds were chirping. Christian was gawking at me as I was reading for the past thirty minutes since he got to my apartment.
I sighed exasperated and closed my eyes. "What it is?"
"You good, mate?" he asked.
"Just peachy. Why do you ask?" I answered.
"You seem a bit out of it. So much you barely paid attention to the lady who gave you her number not too long ago."
"I'm obligated to take her number."
"For chrissakes, Ollie. You didn't even look at her! I felt sorry for how awkward she must have felt."
I closed the book I was holding in my hand.
It was true that I hadn't been myself as of late. I had been spacing out, but not too much to hinder my work ethic and routine. But there was no denying that I had a lot going on in my head.
Lisa and I went radio silent once again after our last encounter. Well, it was more of me avoiding her and her respecting my avoidance. After all, I did make it clear that I had boundaries I didn't want to cross. We were civil and professional with one another, but it felt awkward. Despite it being what I want, I couldn't help but detest the current status quo of our relationship, especially the look she had on her face when I pulled away from her before I did something I was afraid I was going to regret that night in my apartment.
"I just have a lot on my mind, Christian," I answered with a sigh, putting my book on the coffee table beside me.
"Like what? You hardly have anything on your mind," he arched an eyebrow. "And even if you did, you move on faster than Eminem's rap lyrics in "Rap God". Unless whatever it is on your mind is a life-changing/"the world's ending" type of big thing."
"Well, my work colleague happened to make it a big thing, that's for sure."
"The one who kissed you to save your ass? I thought you said nothing happened between you two after your date."
