"I'm sorry about that, Liv."
"It's ok. No need to apologize you sure didn't do anything wrong. She is just not over you. I guess that's what you would call it"
"You know, to be honest with you, I tried to be more than just s*x for her. Before I decided to have all 4 girls. But she didn't want anything more. Now that I'm committed to you, she wants my attention. That's all this is with her."
"You mean you had real feelings for her?"
"Yeah, back when we were freshmen. She didn't want me in that way. So I let her go. Then Sophomore year I started seeing Lacey. Lacey was just someone I slept with. Then came Samantha. Once Maggie caught wind that I was messing around with someone she came back wanting s*x. That is all she ever wanted. Then I added my 4th girl Megan. Then from there, it was the same thing week after week. Until now. Now, I want you. I want something real with you. Now that I want that, she keeps popping up."
"Oh wow. It's sad how that works. You could have turned out to be a half-decent guy all these years and instead Maggie made you this way. Not this way, but how you were before you met me."
"Good thing I met you." He smiles from across the table.
A few minutes later we put in our drink and food order with the waitress.
"So, I have some news I need to share with you." I was suddenly nervous.
Reaching across the table he grabs my hand, "What's that?"
"Well, before I even met you I applied to go to USC for college. I applied for the nursing program. I checked my emails this morning from school that had sent me emails. USC was one of those schools and I got accepted. I got a full ride and everything."
"Wow, that's great Liv. Congrats." He smiled squeezing my hand.
"Thank you. It is what I have wanted for a while now. My parents are taking me out to celebrate tomorrow night. They have invited you, Becca, and Nick as well. Becca and Nick will be there."
His face fell into a frown. "I'm sorry, but I can't. I have already made plans with my sister."
"That's ok. It was last minute. I can see if they can reschedule if you would like me to."
"No, No. That's ok. You should go out and celebrate with them. We can all go out together another day."
"Ok, if you're sure."
"I'm positive" he smiles.
As we sit there I decide to mess with JP a little, or at least try. I slide my heel off of my right foot and slide it up his leg, into his lap. I try to rub him but he grabs my foot and pushes it back down. "Cut it out, Olivia. Not in here."
"OK then." I put my foot back down and slide my foot back into my shoe.
A few minutes later the food had arrived at the table. The entire time we sat there and ate I kept trying to make small talk. About nothing in particular honestly but I was trying to get him to talk. He was being very short with me and I just didn't understand why. After we finished and he paid we went back out to my car.
Once again getting brave and trying to get him to talk or anything for that matter, I push him against my car rubbing my hands under his shirt up to his torso. He grabs my hands stopping them, pushing me away.
"What did I do wrong JP?"
"Nothing, what are you talking about?"
"It's obvious I have either done something or something has happened to change your entire mood. You keep pushing me away. So, why?"
"I'm just trying to be a gentleman like you keep telling me to be."
"What the f**k? You're actually going to throw that line at me after 3 days ago and then all the talk in the truck?"
He didn't say anything. I pushed myself against him again this time rubbing my hand on his center. I could feel him harden at my touch. He stares down at me but doesn't say anything and doesn't put his arms on me at all.
"Fine. Just take me home." I shove away from him going to get in the passenger seat.
"f**k!" I heard him whisper yell right before I shut the door.
The ride back to my house was quiet. I have no idea what was going on with him. We were having such a good time then all of a sudden it's like he shuts down.
Once we are in my driveway, neither one of us get off. I turn in my seat to face him.
"JP, what's wrong?" I reach over to grab his hand which of course he pulls back before my hand can touch him. I frown.
"Please, talk to me at least." I push on.
"Damn it, Liv. Nothing is wrong. Stop asking."
"Ok, fine. I won't ask anymore. I'm going in. Let me know when you make it home. Good night JP." I open the door and get out. He gets out too and heads to his truck. As I make it to my door. I turn around to see him backing out of my driveway. I couldn't help but feel hurt. I don't know what happened. Doesn't look like I'll find out either. Opening my door I step inside. I go straight to the kitchen to get a bottle of water. I felt like I would be sick.
"Hey, honey. I didn't think you would be back tonight." My mom looked up at me as I walked into the kitchen. She was eating a cookie.
"I didn't think I would be either or either it would have been later. I'm going to bed. Oh yeah, Becca and Nick will be joining us tomorrow. JP said he already has plans with his sister."
"Well if you want to you can tell him to bring her too."
I nod. "Good night, mom"
"Good night"
I go upstairs and take my make-up off then change into my pajamas. I get into bed and stare up at the ceiling.
I still not figure out what happened tonight.
Where did it go wrong?
Did I miss something?
Did I do something?
This was going to be a long sleepless night.
