“No.” I shake my head. “I want…” I take a step forward to go to her, but her tone has me stopping in the middle of the room.
“What about what I want?” she asks, and I can see her trying not to break down. “What about what I want, Romeo?” Her voice doesn’t go up, and it doesn’t go down. It’s just defeated. “This whole time, you’ve thought about what you want. But did you think about me?”
“That’s the only thing I’ve been thinking of,” I cut her off. “The only thing I can think of is you.” I can’t hurt her more than I did. I won’t. “I’ll leave you be,” I tell her, turning and walking out of her house.
Closing the door softly behind me, the tears come down like a river on my face. The pain in my chest is even worse than when we ended it, when she ended it. I look back at her house, hoping to see her there, but I find nothing but darkness. The drive back to the hotel is a blur. I toss the valet guy the keys to the car before walking into the hotel with my head down.
Swiping my key and walking into the dark suite, I head over to the bar and grab the bottle of scotch. I sit down in the living room on the couch, unscrewing the top of the bottle and throwing it across the room as hard as I can. The sound of the tin cap hitting the wall and falling to the floor fills the empty room. I bring the bottle to my lips and take a gulp before I look back down at it in my hand.
“I broke her,” I admit to the empty room, “and for fucking what? Just so you could be all macho about banging girls. Just so you could have been, yeah, I banged someone that night. Stupid. Was it worth it?” I ask myself, taking the bottle and throwing it against the wall. The sound of the glass shattering is ironic since it sounds the way my heart did when I watched her tell me about walking in and seeing me. My eyes focus on the little brown beads of liquid that are now rolling down the wall, making me go back to that day again.
The last thing I wanted was to go out tonight, but my friends were all in my ear, telling me I was getting soft and boring. I never went out anymore, and truth be told, I didn’t because I was happy being at home. I regretted being there the minute I walked in. I went straight to the bar, and I was going to drink one beer and then be on my way. But then she walked in, and Shawn bet me a thousand bucks I couldn’t leave with her. I took the bet because I was dumb. She was wearing one of those dresses that looked like a mirror ball. It was slinky, and when she turned around, you knew she wasn’t wearing anything under it. She made eye contact with me, and ten minutes later, we were on the way to my house. I didn’t even turn on the lights as we attacked each other at the front door. I walked her backward into the living room, stopping to look at her. She had brown eyes and bleached blonde hair; my guess was in a matter of minutes, I was going to see her natural color. “What is this?” I laughed at her as I pulled the string that was around her neck, and just like that, she was naked in front of me. “Oops,” I said, and she tried to cover her fake tits, but then just jumped in my arms.
“Now it’s time to get you naked, too,” she said to me as I turned and sat on the couch. She attacked my neck. The smell of her perfume was turning my stomach, but I still kissed her. Her hands undid the buckle of my pants in one move. This was definitely not her first rodeo or mine. I didn’t even know who this girl was, but her hand was rubbing my cock, and my head was bending to suck her nipple.
It was the minute her hand actually touched my cock that I pulled back. “What the hell are you doing?” my head screamed at me at the same time that the phone pinged in my back pocket. My hand moved to the phone, and when I looked down, I saw her name.
Gabriella:
Family emergency just came up. I’ll call you in a couple of days.
It was as if you threw cold ice water on me. The girl on me started to make her way down to my cock, and I pushed her off me. “Um,” I said to her as I unwrapped myself from her and placed her beside me on the couch, naked with her legs open. I stood and walked over to where her dress fell when I pulled it off not too long ago. “I think you should get dressed.” My stomach tightened when I thought of Gabriella. I didn’t even know why I did this. My head screamed at me that it was all for my ego. I didn’t even try to argue with myself because I knew I did it just to say I could. How could I fucking do this? My thoughts swam around and around in my head, and I just needed this woman to get the fuck out of my house.
