Tragedy. Serendipity! Irony?! I'm either too old or too young for this shit.
LOL.
Our legs were unduly proximate. She kissed my neck in the middle of everyone and nobody noticed.
But the other one was there too! She grabbed my ass. Mentioned something about dinner on Sunday. I assure you I'll be breathing at will in the meantime.
God damn that girl over there is intriguing. Look how sassy she is! I should buy her a drink from across the bar. No, fuck it! Do it anonymously. The silent hero. HA! But that's her boyfriend.
So I just bought a shot for the three of us.
"Wow, that's a hell of an introduction," he says as he shakes my hand.
No toast? So uncivilized.
Well, I was thinking "to justice!" so fuck it.
We stood in the parking lot for far too long before she won. And her creaky fucking floors! God damn.
"Oui," she says.
"I think I'm going to go. Fuck, I don't want to go. I have to go. I should go."
"The guacamole tastes great," she says.
"What!? Why are you talking about guacamole?! You're asleep."
"I think I'm dreaming right now," she says.
"I'm going."
"Huh? No! You can't go," she says as she falls asleep.
It is considerably more awkward to get dressed on that creaky fucking floor than it was to undress the both of us on that ocean of a bed.
I wish you would stop apologizing. Well, no. I wish you would stop feeling like you ought to apologize. If for another reason, feel free to apologize until you're blue in the face, I suppose.
HEY! I fucking understand! Can't you tell?! But fuck it: I understand him, as well. How fucked.
"Why didn't this ever happen when we were freshmen?"
"We were young and stupid. And immature," she says.
Different perspectives, word. Why didn't I realize.
I missed out on the best of you. No, sorry, not you.
"What's so funny," she says as she falls asleep.
The Old Well is beautiful at this time of day. And hot damn, Budweiser tastes way better than Bud Light. I'll take a double Jack on the rocks. Is that girl restocking the DTH dispensers? Fuck. What time is it?
And on we plow towards the 25th. It'll be significant enough, I suppose. But a far cry. HA! Shit comes full-circle.
"If I had met you 2 years later -- or fuck it, 10 years later -- would we be together?"
"Yes," she says.
I missed out on the best of you.
"What's so funny," she says as she falls asleep.
I skip through the empty streets. I cut through campus. It's late as fuck. A bit of booze in my blood and a bud in each ear.
And I just fucking laugh.
