Yes, the date went nowhere. And I decided to come back home. Not because he asked me to, but because one year had been enough. And I was completely broke. I didn't really tell anyone when I came home. I just wanted sometime to figure out what to do next first, before dealing with people's annoying questions.
It got really boring after a couple of months, so I reached out to Mary. I missed her and Joey. After all they had been as close as family for four years. Mary had some very interesting news, as always. And to those news I reacted the only way I could possibly do...
- So I heard something interesting today...
-Oh hello to you too...
-I heard that you have a new girlfriend
-I may...or may not...how...when..how?
-I have my connections...
-Mary?
-Yeah...
-Is she ever going to graduate?
-who knows...So...how's the girlfriend?
-I haven't heard from you in the past 4 months...
-Yes...and the girlfriend?
-How's England?
-I'm no longer in England
-What? Where are you?
-The girlfriend...tell me about her...
-It just sort of happened...
-Sounds very romantic
-It was...you know...college...
-Yeah...most people do their best to stay single...but not you...
-Where are you?
-In a hotel...in Northbrook...
-Northbrook, Illinois?
-Yes...
- As in the same state as I am?
-Yes
-What happened to England?
-Got boring...
-When did you come back?
-A couple of months ago...
-And what are you doing in a hotel in Northbrook?
-Working...
-Care to elaborate?
-I have a new job...I spend about 2 to 3 weeks in a different city selling insurance...and then I go to the next one...
-So you live in hotels now?
-Pretty much...
-I guess that won't get boring...life of a rockstar!
-Oh you would be surprised...
-But you move every 3 weeks...
-Still...I still do the same thing everywhere I go...plus it gets lonely...
-I guess it does...
-Not all of us have brand new relationships to keep us warm...
-Stop with that...
-Sorry...I guess I am still recovering from the shock...
-Shock? You haven't called or messaged in 4 months...
-So that's how long it took you to get over your platonic love?
-It wasn't platonic
-And it sure as hell wasn't love
- I didn't know what you were up to in London
-As you can see, nothing but packing...But don't worry...you don't owe me anything...
-Don't do that...
-It's true...I am happy for you...Mary told me she seems like a nice person...
-Laura...
-I am being honest...it's been almost 2 years now...it's time we move past it right?
-I don't...
-RIGHT?
-Right...
-So...what's her name?
-Phoebe
-Ok...send my best to Phoebe...hope you guys have a great time...
-I don't like this...
-Me neither...but something tells me that once I am done with this bottle of whiskey in my hand it won't feel so bad anymore...
-Are you serious?
-Of course not...maybe...just ignore my messages if you get any later tonight ok?
-Laura..
-Cheers
