“I slept with your friend. I'm sorry, I—”
“Is that it?” she asks, cutting me off. “You slept with Sia?”
Nodding my head, I drop my eyes back down. I can't look at her. I don't want to see the disappointment or anger on her face. Tensing up, I wait for her to explode on me.
“Okay, so what did you expect me to say? You think I'm going to ground you or something?” Chuckling, she reaches out and grabs my hand. “I don't know what I expected you to say, but it wasn't that. But I'm not mad, I'm not mad at all. Why would I be angry over that?”
“Because she's your friend.”
“Exactly, she's my friend. I don't control her; she can make up her mind for herself on what she does.”
“Really? You're not pissed?”
“Hell no. Who am I to say who either of you can sleep with?” Holding up a firm hand, she slices it through the air. “But I don't want details, all right?”
Laughing, my body relaxes. “No problem. But there's something else. I want to see her again. I was thinking about heading to the city and surprising her, but I don't know if that's a good idea or not.”
“It's a great idea,” Jenna says excitedly. “I love it.”
“Dude,” Ryder chimes in. “I thought you were going to tell us something else. Like you hit one of the chickens or something. This is nothing. I'm glad you finally got laid.”
“Ryder!” Jenna yells with a smile as she slaps his chest. “Seriously though, what's your plan? What are you going to do?”
“I don't have a clue.”
“All right, I'm going to help you, but let me fill you in on some stuff about her family.”
Jenna goes on to tell me they're really difficult when it comes to any of their children, and what they do or who they associate with. They're loaded, like gold plated toilet loaded.
“I don't care who they are or what they're like, all I want is to see her. I need to see her. I can't explain it any other way than that.”
“All right, then let’s get you to her.” Jenna gives me a big toothy grin as she slaps the tabletop. “Sitting here isn't going to do that. You're getting on the next flight out there.”
“You don't think she'll be weirded out if I show up out of the blue?”
“I think you'll never know if you don't try. What's the worst that happens?”
“I make a fool of myself.”
“You do that every day,” Ryder says. Slugging him in the arm, he laughs as he rubs it. “I'm kidding. I think you should go for it too. Why wait around and wonder?”
Ryder is right. They're both right. Life is always full of risk.
I can't fail if I don't try, but I'm not living if I never take that step forward.
“What time's the next flight?”
