“What?”
“I'm not going to be able to stay here tonight. This is kind of my week off from life, but it starts back on Monday. I have to get back to work.”
I knew that he had an investment business to run. It was important to him because he talked about it quite a few times. It was his way of proving to his family that he could do things himself. He even told me that he had given back the money that his father had tried to basically bribe him with. Frank was very proud of that fact. I could tell when he talked about it.
It was not unreasonable by any means. We had been completely obsessed with each other for quite a while now. It's not like I was sick of him, but I didn't want him to get sick of me, either.
“Of course, you have to go. I don't know what I was thinking. I just got a little too used to you being around, I guess.”
He told me not to sweat it and said something about wishing that he could stay. I believed he really thought that way, but we both knew that it wouldn't be possible.
Will I see you tomorrow?”
“How about I pick you up about nine and we'll go get some late dinner?”
“Do you work that late?”
“Not always, but I will most likely have to tomorrow. I've been gone for a while, so I'm sure that there is a lot that I will have to handle from my absence.”
He gave me a kiss and we said our goodbyes. It's not like this was the first time that it happened. But it was the first time that I was so bothered by it.
As I was leaving, I still had a little bit of suspicion and questioned why he was acting so strange. Whatever the reason, there was just some feeling that what he was telling me wasn't completely true. I don't know why I felt like he was keeping something from me. Maybe it was something important.
Maybe it was some secret that as soon as I found out about it, I would know that what we had together wasn’t real. I didn't understand why he was so adamant about me not coming over to his house. I felt like there was a reason.
Either way, I knew that secrets had a way of coming to the surface. It was like it couldn't be helped, and I figured that if there was something to know, eventually it would come out and then I would know it. Whether I would be able to deal with the answer or not was another thing altogether.
