Page 86 of Love Undecided
“In fact,” I continue. “My plan was to break it off with Stacy, after movie night, but I got paged in. It was stupid of me to invite her anyway. I mean, shit, the only reason why I even went to the movie was to see you. I knew you would be there and I miss you. Every day, Kat, every fucking day I think about you and I miss you. I’m breaking it off for good tonight with Stacy. Then, I am going back to a full pursuit of you with nothing on my conscience. Fuck that guy.”
I sit back, satisfied with what I've said so far. I follow Kat's glance to the next table, one of the ladies blows me a kiss. I turn away, disgusted. Kat is trying hard not to laugh. I should find it funny, but the whole thing makes me even angrier.
“Tomorrow you'd better be ready for me," I say. “Because I am not giving up this time, Kat. There will be no walking away. No broken engagements. No trips to jail."
“That’s exactly why I wanted us to have lunch," she says.
Well, good. Maybe we are on the same page after all. I breathe a sigh of relief and relax into my chair, waiting for what she'll say next.
“You need to let me go," she says.
Okay, that's not what I was expecting her to say next.
Not at all.
