Gemma
Several hours later…
Oh my God!Did I imagine that encounter with Wyatt?I internally ask myself.
Nope. It happened.
I want him so bad.
Ever since I was a little girl, I’d say things in threes if I really felt them in my heart. To my embarrassment, it’s a quirk that surfaced earlier today when I was in the hallway with Wyatt.
Stop replaying it in your head, Gemma,my inner voice says.
The train ride back from work is slow and crowded. I see a few couples holding roses, and then I remember that this year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday. So, I’m guessing everyone is eager to get home and start their Valentine’s Day weekend.
Everyone except for me.
I feel a pang in my chest when I think about the fact that I’ve never had much luck with dating. The few boyfriends that I’ve had left me because I wasn’t ready to have sex. I blame it on the fact that I’ve always been a late bloomer. But, of course, I want to do it.Maybe someday I’ll find the right person…and finally feel ready to.
Once I get back inside my apartment building, my heart starts to race with remembrance of what happened.
Wyatt flirted with me. He nuzzled his nose against my hair. Then, a few seconds later, his hand came up to caress my face. He said he’d devour me with a glass of Dom Pérignon Rose Gold champagne…just before his lips brushed against the shell of my ear.
OH MY GOD!
Stop replaying it in your head, Gemma!my inner voice shouts.
Gah! I need something to take my mind off of Wyatt. Wine and some uh…me time.
Yes, that’s what I need.
With a frustrated sigh, I glance over at Wyatt’s apartment door. I know that he won’t be home until around 9pm, but I don’t plan on watching him anymore.
I’ve got to stop living in a fantasy.
I’m not experiencing real life when I just watch from the sidelines.
I think it’s time that I make some changes.
Hmm…Maybe I’ll finally join one of those dating websites my best friend has been recommending. She met her true love online and they got married last summer. Now she’s living a fairytale life in Sausalito, California. I miss her so much, but I’m glad that she’s happy.
Someday I want to be happy with what I have in regards to my love life.And for that to happen, I will have to actually start dating again.
I quickly unlock my apartment door and pour myself a glass of wine. Then, with a resolute sigh, I reach for my laptop and curl up on the couch with it.
Which dating website is the most successful?
I take a sip of wine and shake my head at myself.
I wonder how many people join dating apps on Valentine’s Day. Lots of people probably do. Oh well…it’s time to join the masses,I think to myself as I click open my web browser.
But instead of researching dating apps, I click over to YouTube instead and quickly notice a new video notification for my favorite channel. It’s for a video titled “How To Make Crème Brûlée With Chef Wyatt Everdeen.”
Squeee!
