Getting caught in a lie shouldn't hurt as much as it did last night. Hell, I didn't even get caught. Not really. I started to tell Sam the truth and he figured it out before I could explain. For some reason I just felt obligated to be honest to him. I guess I figured he deserved honesty. Sam was 'the guy' for me up until he decided to travel Europe

"Mmm."
I kind of don't want to open my eyes. The kissing will stop then. Last night, I got the feeling that this was a 'last ride' sort of deal, from the way Carly was acting. Just a guess, but I think it's probably a good one. The old boyfriend is back in town. It's pretty obvious she's not over him, just from the look on her face when she says his name. Not to mention she blew our whole act at the bar without a second thought as soon as she was out the door. I guess I shouldn't be annoyed about that; it was probably wrong for us to lie about something like dating, but I didn't think it would hurt anyone. I was actually having fun with it. I can understand her wanting to be honest. Honest with the ex- she's not over yet.
Did I mention how much I don't like him being here yet?
I really don't like him being here. I thought I might have been getting close, you know? Just a little bit closer to making Carly an honest woman, and giving her the chance to make me an honest man. That won't happen now. And this? This will never ( ... )

...Am I doing this right? It's hard to tell. Jake's all sleepy. I never know if I'm good or not until I get feedback. Well, never unless it's sex. In that case I know I did it right ( ... )

Carly doesn't do this very much. Not the sex part, she does that all the time, but the 'morning after' part. I can tell, but not because she's doing anything wrong. She's not. I just know her well enough to know that this isn't her style. Even now, I think she's kind of uncomfortable with it. She's really going the extra mile to make sure my last meal is a good one. Very sweet of her, though it really makes the concept of "no more" unbelievably... suckier.
"Yeah, it was nuts. I'm exhausted." I grinned as she moved in closer. Might as well enjoy this while I can. I don't think she understands that there's a little more to this than just casual sex for me, but that's not her fault. I never said anything about it, I just kind of... showed up at her door and informed her that we would be having sex.
"I wish I could have spent more of it with you."I'd been hoping for that too, especially once I got a glimpse of what she had planned for me at the bar. Oh well. What's past is past ( ... )

Stuff. More like Sam. Sam isn't stuff. Sam is a person. A person who left me four years ago. You'd think I'd be over that by now. Any normal girl would be. I mean, sometimes it takes you a while to get over the end of a relationship, but anything over six months is excessive. Unless he's dead, and Sam is very much alive.
If I had any doubts about that before, I can now say that he's fine. Never looked better.
And then there's me.
"I understand."
"Still." I made eye contact with Jake, wanting him to understand that I really do regret ruining the night for him. "I was looking forward to a little bartending ( ... )
