The night after our first date, I received a phone call from Sara asking me if I wanted to meet up for coffee because she was going to be busy over the weekend and didn't want to wait to see me again. (Eager to see me? Yay!) I was really looking forward to seeing her again too, so we decided to meet up the following day.
I met Sara around 3pm at this little cafe in town called Deja Brew (somehow I feel as though I've been here before.) When I got there, Sara was already sitting by the window with a coffee and reading a book. Like a gentleman, I popped over to see if she needed anything before I went to the counter to get my drink. She said she was fine (yeah she is), so I went up and ordered myself a caramel latte (yes, I know it's a girly drink, but it just tastes soooo good. Don't judge.) I then went back to the table to join Sara for our second date (or so I thought).
Sara: Thanks for meeting up with me today.
Me: No problem. I kind of couldn't wait to see you again.
Sara: Me too, but... um... [long awkward pause] ...so you know how my ex-boyfriend was at my place the other night?
Me: Um, yeah. I remember. (I have a bad feeling about where this is going.)
Sara: Well apparently I thought we were broken up, but he thought we were just taking a break. I'm not really sure what the difference is (me neither), but he told me he is ready to be "us" again. I'm not really sure if it is going to work out with him since he has pulled this on me before, but since I've already invested almost 4 years into the relationship, I feel like I have to give it one more shot (I'll give him a shot!). I hope you can understand and that we can still be friends.
Me: Oh. Sure. I guess. I mean, we were just starting out. I understand. (I understand this fucking sucks.)
Sara: Well I have to get going, but give me a call next week and maybe we can all hang out.
Me: Okay. Sounds good. (Yeah, probably not.)
And with that, Sara gave me a hug and left. Now I have a hundred questions about what the hell happened. Was that really her ex at her house or is she just not interested in me? The "I'm getting back with my ex" seems to be the easy let down these days instead of "it's not me, it's you" (or maybe it's the reverse of that). And how the hell did her ex just happen to show up the night of our date? Does she really want to try and be friends or is she just being nice? Do I attempt to steal her back from her ex or now boyfriend? AHHHHH!
I think Tom is going on a date with Pam this weekend. Maybe he'll be nice and get some details for me so I can get these questions out of my head. I think I need another caramel latte. Don't judge.
