“Absolutely. Now, are you
ready for your interview tomorrow with Ricky?” Becky asked me with excitement in her eyes.
“Yeah, I think so. I’m actually a bit nervous.”
“What? Don’t be. Ricky is a real sweetheart. You will be fine.”
“Thanks, but I guess I’m nervous because if I don’t get that job then I don’t know what I might do. There just doesn’t seem to be anyone else reasonably close to me right now that is looking for anyone full time.”
“Well, Ricky is desperate. His last nanny abruptly quit, leaving him in a bind. You know how that goes. So, he is really excited that you are coming. I just hope you can keep from staring too long into his eyes. Girl, the man is gorgeous.”
I laughed. “Well, I’ll try.”
I left the Normans’ house and drove home. I kept thinking about what Becky had said. This was the second time that she had brought up how good-looking Ricky really was. Now, I was really nervous. What if he was so handsome that I forgot how to speak, or how to do well in the interview with the right answers? I couldn’t handle that. I needed to relax and just breathe.
When I got home, Tessa was binge watching some old eighties show she found online. She was a true television junkie. She rarely did anything else when she wasn’t working, except hang out with her boyfriend, Marty at his place. I suspected that when they weren’t being intimate, they were probably just watching a lot of television. It was a real sickness with her.
“How was it?” She asked.
I shrugged. “It was a babysitting gig. Nothing special. I did get freaked out at one point.” I told her the whole story about the scratching sounds.
She got a bang out of it and erupted with laughter. Tessa loved to hear about other’s misfortune. That was probably why she loved television so much. It was nothing but people having bad stuff happen to them.
“Tomorrow is the big interview, right? That should be cool. I know you are going to nail it,” she told me.
“Thanks,” I said. “You know, Becky went out of her way to tell me just how good looking this guy is supposed to be.”
Tessa’s face perked up with a bright smile. “Ah, that sounds delicious,” she said. “You are going to make a move, right?”
I rolled my eyes. “No, I’m not going to make a move on my potential boss. That sounds to me like a really bad idea.”
“Hey, he might be the guy to take that pesky virginity from you. That’s something you need to let go of. Hell, you can probably sell that thing for millions.”
I laughed. “You are so warped in the head.”
“Tell me something I don’t already know.”
“Well, if you know that you are warped, then why aren’t you trying to do something about it?”
“I like it. That is really part of my sweet character.”
I giggled and gave her a big hug. “I love you, bitch.”
“Right back at you skank,” she replied. That was part of our little thing we did together. “But seriously, what are you waiting for with this virginity thing?”
“It’s not a thing,” I said. “I want it to be special and perfect the first time.”
“See, right away you are setting yourself up for a bad experience. The first time isn’t romantic or special for hardly anyone. It’s messy, it’s awkward, and it’s painful. That’s it. It isn’t anything to wait around with. Get that first time out of the way so you can move on with your life.”
“We will just have to agree to disagree on this. I’m fine and I will be ok with it. When it happens, it will happen. That’s all I can say about it.”
“Alright, suit yourself. But when it is over, you will be asking yourself why the hell you waited so long for it.”
I shook my head and went to take a shower. Tessa’s thoughts were with me though. I knew that she had a point, and I wished that I could let myself go enough to just break free of this, but there was something that was preventing it. I knew that one day I would meet the perfect guy that I wanted to lose my virginity to. The right man at the right time.
It would all line up eventually.
