That’s my best friend. I could burn down the Eiffel Tower, and she’d still ask if I was okay. She’s my late night, get-out-of-jail call, and she’d do so without judgment.
I nod. “I just… knew better. And I don’t do… athletes. Ever.”
Holland shakes her head with wide eyes. “I know, but what actually happened? I saw him follow you out, but I honestly didn’t think you’d be.. I don’t know, hooking up?”
“Ugh, I don’t know. Last night we were drinking, and then somehow, we ended up at my house and had sex against the front door. The front door, Holl. Like I’m in college and not an actual adult with a law degree and a good head on my shoulders. Not that it’s ever going to happen again.”
She doesn’t look convinced. “You do know that Graham has had the hots for you for practically ever?”
Uh, no I don’t actually think that’s true. She wasn’t there that night, she didn’t overhear what I did.
“No, he just has the hots for everyone with a vagina, Holland. Duh.”
“Okay, true. Well, if you don’t want it to happen again, then whatever, just pretend it never happened. I’m sure Graham is probably already on his next conquest. I love him, I do, but the guy has a new girl for every day of the week.”
That statement shouldn’t cause a knot to form in my stomach, since it’s true, and I know it, but it does.
I don't actually want to think of Graham with another girl. Don’t ask me why, because I couldn't even tell you.
“Good for him. Hopefully he keeps his mouth shut, and we’ll just move on like it never happened.”
She nods, reaching out and pulling me in for another hug. I sink into the embrace, feeling slightly better now that I’ve told my best friend and gotten her advice.
“I’m on your side, babe. Look, I’ve been there and done that. Don’t beat yourself up. We all do things that are out of character, and it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Take it day by day. Be the bad bitch you always are.”
She’s right. We can pretend it never happened and move on. Easy peasy. He knows I don’t have any interest in a relationship, so there’s no issue here.
It’s not like it’ll ever happen again.
A one and done. Okay… a few times and done. Fine.
Done, all the same.
I am completely and utterlydonewith Graham Adams and his voodoo magic dick.
