"So, what's the game plan?" Nathanial asked sipping on his orange juice.

To say this was beyond weird would be an understatement. I'm almost certain that he's hated me for the past four years for stealing his girl, and here we are - sitting at a nearby restaurant patio discussing ways to ambush said girl... together?

I don't even know. I pull down my sunglasses to the bridge of my nose and sneer at him.

"If you think I'm about to tell you how to find my girl, you'd be wildly mistaken."

"You're girl" Nathanial laughed. "That's a very funny statement."

"Am I wrong?" I asked, taking a sip of my hot espresso. "If we're looking at this logistically, it was only up until a week ago that she was calling me her boyfriend. So if she's anyone's girl - I think she'd be mine" I winked. 

I could visibly see his jaw clench as he shifted his eyes to the busy walkway beside us. The streets are packed. Totally forgot this weekend was Pride weekend and the streets were blocked off due to vendors and performers filling all around us.

Honestly, it was such a good vibe.

"Whatever. You're such a dick." He snapped. I couldn't help but snicker. He's way too easy to play with. I love how red his cheeks get when I make him want to punch me out. It's endearing.

"Maybe if we put our heads together, we can get to her faster." I shrugged. He turned back to look at me with a shocked expression.

"Thats what I've been telling you this whole time! You're impossible!" He huffed back in his seat.

"Okay, I'll lay off." I put up my hands in defence. "How about we check her insta story again. She must've updated since we last saw it."

He nodded his head and took out his phone again. I watched as he scrolled on her page.

"Nothing yet. It's still early." He shrugged, putting his phone back into his pocket. I sighed. This plan wasn't really the best.

Weirdly enough, I'm glad I'm not alone at least.

"For the record - Sarah and I have been seeing each other too. For the past four years." He spoke up.

My eyes widened. "No shit! You're fucking with me."

This brought a smile to his face. "Totally serious. I saw her... two weekends ago? We went out to a poetry reading in the city."

"Donnellys? That was you?"

"Yup" He smiled back. What a little shit. I snorted.

"Okay, I gotta hand it to you. I never knew." I thought about it for a moment. "What about on Thanksgiving? She said she had to go and be with a friend."

"My mom and dad both had to work for the weekend so she stayed with me. We cooked turkey and watched New Girl all weekend in our pajamas." He laughed.

I was... impressed? Maybe I underestimated their relationship. They clearly connected way more than I thought.

This peaked my interest.

"Did you guys...you know..."

Nathanial bit his lip and looked down at the table. I knew that look. I got him there.

"That's none of your business." He muttered.

"HA!" I laughed, slamming my hand on the table. "I got you."

"Listen, it's not that we never have-"

"Hey, you don't have to explain it to me. I get it. Sarah has some particular tastes in bed. If you're not super open, I can understand it being a lot."

Nathanials eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?... You know what? No. I'm not talking to you about this." He folded his hands across his arms as I laughed into my small coffee cup.

The silence obviously was killing him because his knee kept bobbing up and down underneath the table.

"Okay, what are you talking about. She has particular tastes?" Nathanial leaned in and whispered to me across our small table.

"If you and Sarah were intimate, you must know." I looked over his face. He was clueless. "You guys didn't do it often, did you?"

A red blush rose across Nathanial's face. I shifted in my chair to try and calm down the pressure rising up in my shorts. This type of talk while staring at that blush creeping up his neck... it was starting to be too much.

"We... only a few times during college. I wouldn't say often by any means." Nathanial sipped on his glass again. I watched as his Adams Apple bobbed up and down in his throat. I bit my lip looking away.

"So what you're telling me, is that you two had only slept together a handful of times over the span of four years?"

Nathanial nodded his head slowly.

"And now you've hopped on a plane and flown to a whole other country to profess your undying love to her?" I clarified. Nathanial rolled his eyes as a response but nodded all the same.

"Have you slept with anyone else during that time?" I couldn't help but ask.

Nathanial opened his mouth and closed it. My heart dropped. This poor poor fool.

"Holy fuck!" I exclaimed, sitting back in my chair. Nathanial's eyes darted around, obviously nervous of onlookers.

"Can you not?!" He whisper yelled at me.

"Nathanial, how... w-why are you cutting yourself off from life like this?" I shook my head. This time I moved my sunglasses up and sat them on the top of my head, moving my hair off of my face and pushed back. I watched him watch my movement, clearly making him more nervous. I think he likes me hair. Noted.

"I don't know! I just... really like her, I guess."

"Nathanial-"

"Stop calling me that"

"-Have you ever... wanted to be with another woman? Does that interest you?"

"No!" He didn't even hesitate. "I mean... I haven't thought about it. I've always had Sarah. She's... enough... for me."

I looked him over. He looked like a scared deer. Timid, shy and nervous. I want to guide him and steer him to the promise land. In this case, many amazing orgasms. Not that I want to give him orgasms... I just- I want him to experience what life has to offer. It's all I've ever wanted for him.

The thing is, Nathanial is a really good looking guy. Like, REALLY good looking. He's got such a nice body, broad shoulders, tall, square jaw with deep green eyes. He's a total heartthrob! The amount of times I've seen people around him stop and stare is insane but he has never noticed it. It's part of his charm but it also holds him back.

What good is having good looks if you don't know how to use them?

"I've got an idea." I blurted.

"I don't like the sound of that." Nathanial groaned.

"How about we explore the city a little bit today. We're waiting for her updates anyways. We'll stop by a few events, explore a little bit and just... have a good fucking day." I shrugged.

"What makes you think I want to have fun with you?" He shook his head smiling.

I looked around and signaled for the waitress to give us the check. One bill.

"Because I'm a fun fucking time." I winked. "Trust me."
