“Fuck off, asshole.” His face reddening slightly.
“Dude, you fuckin’ walked into that one.”
“Yeah, well, that has not happened to me before. And it’s not happening again. That girl has issues, man.”
“Yeah, okay.”
“You don’t just run hot and cold like that without something being seriously wrong with you.”
“Someone is feeling better about himself.”
“Yeah, well, there’s plenty of fish in the sea, my man.”
“That there is,” I say. “How’d you even meet her?”
“Online.”
“One of those girls.”
That just can’t handle reality.
“What do you mean?”
“You know, one of those girls who think there’s no way to meet a guy in real life, so she turns to meeting them online. She puts all her hopes on one guy, so of course he’s going to be a disappointment. No one could possibly live up,” I say.
“She’s not like that.” Alex shakes his head.
“All girls are like that,” I say dryly.
“No,” he says. “It was hot in the beginning. Then she just flipped a switch. Hot to cold, just like that.” He snaps his fingers.
“No offense, bud, but she tapped out. It was never hot.”
“It was, I swear.”
“I’ll believe it when I see it.”
“You should see it then.”
“Bring it on.”
“Bitch turned cold. Like an ice queen. You can’t melt that shit.”
I laugh when he says ice queen, thinking of Remi. A girl from college who rocked my world in one night. She’s my one who got away. And who I’ve never forgotten. Even though I never really had her. But I saw her again recently, she’s my friend Kat’s best friend, and it brought all the memories of that one night with her back.
“Brother, you have no idea my experience with a cold, frigid bitch. You bring her to me, I’ll melt her for sure.”
“Okay, you’re on,” he smirks.
“I’m on?”
What did I just agree to?
“I’m going to set you up.”
Aw, shit.
“No way, dude, I am not going out with some holier than thou, stuck-up, bitch who can’t pull the stick out of her ass long enough to have a good time.” I lean back in my chair and cross my arms over my chest.
