I look out the window as we drive through the city, heading toward my place. I need to figure out whether I want to continue with this relationship, and I need to do it fast. I don’t want to take things to the next level with him if I’m still feeling so uncertain.
The trouble is, it’s so disappointing. I really thought I was doing things right this time. Aidan is all the things I told myself I needed: responsible, sweet, mature.
But his taste in music is genuinely awful.
No. He’s a good guy, and I despise the thought that I’m one of those women who gives truth to the phrase nice guys finish last.
Then again, the nice guy thing is proving to be pretty dull.
Am I searching for reasons to walk away? Am I craving the rush of a hot hookup so much that the slow build of a real relationship just doesn’t do it for me?
But Aidan also wears deodorant that clashes with his cologne.
I caught a whiff of Ronan when he sat at our table. He smelled sort of woodsy and clean.
I need to stop thinking about Ronan, especially while I’m trying to work out how I feel about Aidan. Because my relationship with Aidan—whatever it is, and wherever it’s going—has nothing to do with Ronan. I can’t let it have anything to do with Ronan. Regardless of whether I keep seeing Aidan, Ronan is the absolute worst kind of man for me. He’s everything I’m trying to stay away from: rich, arrogant … and yes, excruciatingly handsome.
But he also slept with me and blew me off, so I don’t even have to wonder what sort of man he really is. There’s no telling myself he might be a good guy under that confident and aggressive exterior. I’ve been to the show, and seen behind the curtain.
He’s just another bad boy, and that is the last thing I need.
