One impulsive friendship, one bad idea, and feelings that won't go away. ✨
Eli convinces Aubrey to spend more time together-just as a distraction from their mutual bad luck in love. But when movie nights turn into something deeper, Eli falls hard, k...
I had been distracted at the car repair shop today, on account of last night. Don't get me wrong, I always busted my ass at work, but the whole time I was wrenching and moving shit around I was replaying last night with him in my head.
I had a great time...with Aubrey. What the fuck?! What world was I living in?
I expected these hangouts to help my hang-ups on Wayne, but I didn't expect to actually have a great time with this asshole.
Did Aubrey have a great time?
Were we going to be weird about it, like I assumed we were going to be?
And did it mean anything that I actually enjoyed hanging out with someone that drove me up the fucking wall?
Aubrey understood how I felt about Wayne, why Wayne hurt so badly, and talking to him last night was the first time I opened up to anyone about all that. I liked watching movies with him. Even when I hated the movie.
I also maybe liked that he laid on top of me while we waited for our dinner, like I was a goddamn mattress or some shit. It made me feel all...masculine.
Oh, God -- Aubrey was doing weird things to my insides.
It was putting my brain into overthinking mode. It scared me a little.
I kept thinking about a lot of what he said, and a lot about what I said.
When we were still watching the movie, Aubrey said he was going to pick the next one... He insinuated this was going to be a thing between us. It made me really happy. I didn't have to feel creepy again, and be the one to ask about watching something together for a third time.
That was a relief, because I would have done it... I don't have a lot of fucking shame. Actually, being real, I don't have any shame at all.
But when he said that, my heart soared. There was going to be another round of movie night in my future.
I actually liked movie night with Aubrey.
This was such a great, brilliant fucking idea.
