“Exactly! That’s why this is perfect. Have some fun with the guy, and when you’re bored or ready to settle down, dump his ass and move on. Obviously, he can handle it. He told you himself he’s not looking to be your boyfriend.”
“He took shots off Sara!”
“And? That doesn’t mean anything. It also meansyoucan do whatever you want. You’re not tied down.”
She’s making a lot of sense, but my heart still beats its warning. “What if I get hurt?”
“You can’t be hurt if you only do what you want. You have the power here, Kate. Own it.”
I reread Lorenzo’s message while I process what Char said.
“That’s why they say 'careful what you wish for'. Your genie just acted really fast.” I chuckle, partially at her humor and partially out of nerves. “Text him back!”
She moves over my shoulder and I reluctantly start to type out a message.
Me: Giving in to what?
Char stops me before I hit send. “No, no, no! Turn your flirt on.”
“Fine, what would you have me say?”
“Here.” She takes the phone from my hand and starts typing rapidly.
“Show me before you send anything!”
“Sorry, already sent.” I dive at her.
“Ahhhh! Why did you do that?” I grab my phone from her and fix myself as she laughs.
“It’s nothing crazy, just read it.”
Me: depends what you’re referring to ;)
If I could melt into the mattress and disappear from the mortification, I would. Before I can bitch Char out, Lorenzo’s reply comes through.
Lorenzo: you giving into your true desires is what im referring to
“Who is he to tell me what my true desires are?” I shout indignantly. Char starts to laugh but covers it with a cough when I pierce her with a murderous glare.
“Look. Do you want to see him again, or not?” Char asks me in all seriousness.
“Yeah, I do,” I respond automatically. Then I quickly add, “I need answers.”
She gives me a disbelieving look. “Then see him. See where it takes you.” Something about her words hits home, and I nod slowly.
“Yeah. Yeah, okay, I think I will.”
Me: Where is this New Year’s party at?
He replies with two messages: one with the address and one with the time.
Me: This is on 12/31, right?
Lorenzo: yes princess the night everyone celebrates
I don’t appreciate his tone. There’s nothing wrong with making sure of the date.
Me: Okay. I’ll let you know if I’ll be attending.
