I got up from my chair, walking into my living room.
“You aren’t going to ask me what I’m doing?” I pressed.
“Tristan, I told you…”
“I know. But you confuse me—you send me racy pics but you won’t have a simple phone conversation with me? That isn’t fair.”
I was mostly playing, but even more serious. It felt like she hadn’t made up her mind about it fully, and I did not want to be played with. I had enough of that…
“I know. I’m sorry. I know I have feelings for you but I don’t think I can do anything with them yet.”
“Yet?” I sat on the couch, my hand running through my hair in frustration. “Look, Emilia. I like you too, much as I did not want to because…I’ve been played with enough. I know I tease you, but that’s because I like you.”
“Tristan…”
“I have to go, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
That turned bad pretty fast. I know, I’ve been teasing her even though she told me she did not want to be with me. But I expected her to resist. She did at first, but then I thought she was giving in. Now she was blowing hot and cold. I couldn’t take that. It confused everyone.
Bottom line I still wanted her. My body churned for her. But I realized I’m not ready for this. It was why I’d been staying away from women in the first place, from anything other than getting my dick wet. But Emilia…she did more than that. I think…
My doorbell ringing stopped me from entertaining that thought.
It was Natalie. With Thai food. Just what I needed.
“Hey.” I smiled and accepted the hug she offered. She looked like a fucking banana in her yellow pant suit, but a good banana I guess.
“I brought your favorites.”
She led herself to the kitchen, got the plates, and even served me my food. That is why I let her come over.
“We have to talk about this Kit guy always leaving.” I said halfway through our meal.
“He isn’t always leaving, he goes on business trips. It’s his job.” Her face tightened, there weren’t many conversations she would want to avoid, but this is one of them.
“I know, but look what it does to you.” I said.
“It makes you concerned, but I’m fine. I knew what I was getting into.”
“Yeah I’m concerned that you are all lonely and shit. And bothering me.” That made her laugh, but only a little bit.
“I’m not lonely. We video chat.” Her shoulders shrugged.
“That is no way to have a sex life.” We both doubled over in laughter. That kind of stuff wasn’t awkward between us.
It may not seem like it, but we were really close. I don’t know what I’d do without my sister, I’m just not the company type sometimes.
/> “He is usually here a lot more. It’s just that right after we met, his company started this merge so he has been doing the front work. He only has a few more trips, and they won’t be as long. He’ll be here for Gabriella and Levi’s wedding.” The hope in her voice told me she was trying to convince herself of it.
“What do you like about Kit anyway?” She rolled her eyes.
“Kevin…and I don’t just like him.”
“Whoa, I did not know you were in love.” A smile hinted at my face. She blushed and smiled wide.
“It’s only been a few months, but I just know it.”
“That’s great. You’ve told him?” She started giggling.
