THE EXOTIC DANCER CHAPTER 030✔ "Guys can be good"
"Don't you think calling him nobody was a bit rude?" Lucy asks the moment i step through the door to our apartment.
I let out a small sigh knowing it is something from the conversation i had just had that i definitely regret saying. I have gotten so used to saying such things though.
Max is really the only man in my life outside of the people within this building that i've ever really introduced to Lucy. I've gotten so used to any other guy except for him being nobody. It takes a lot for me to introduce someone to her and until i am sure that i can trust them enough they aren't anyone she needs to know about.
I didn't mean he was nobody to me i just meant that he is nobody to her.
She doesn't need to know about him.
Lucy, unlike me makes connections to people pretty easily. She makes friends simply and gets easily attached. I don't want to bring anyone into her life if i don't know they are going to stay or not. I think the both of us have had enough abandonment.
"It's not for you to worry about." I reply, passing her on my way to our room.
Once inside the room i close the door shut tight, locking it behind me as a deep breath escapes from my lips. In a way everything that has happened today in its entirety hasn't really settled in yet.
I slept with a man i never met before and didn't completely hate myself this morning.
My best friend did his best at hitting me where it hurts.
I got threatened by some pompous, arrogant, infuriating man.
Rode around in a car that i wouldn't be able to afford in years upon years.
Laughed for the first time in a long time... like really laughed.
I watched someone stand upon the diner tables and live.
I ran around the city like a fool with no cares in the world.
Got asked out by a man who it too good for me in every existing way.
Turned down such a man.
And have been lectured by my own little sister.
What is my life becoming?
And even with all that has happened i don't feel half as exhausted as i usually do. I suppose i should wait until the actual end of my day to speak on how tired i am feeling but as of now... i'm doing okay.
