We went to have drinks with some of her friends in a shitty student flat that night. She’d warmed up a bit, but was still annoyed. Drinking games ensued, so it didnt take long for everyone to get drunk. At some point some random lanky guy arrived. After rolling a spliff that almost knocked me out, he said something about “needing some help” and she got up and followed him. I thought nothing of it.
And then, a few minutes later one of her girlfriends, Fiona, said something. “It’s cool that you’re so cool with it”. I smiled and said thank you, stoned and confused, wondering what I was cool with but accepting the compliment anyway. And then another dude appeared and asked where Darren was. Fiona casually replied “getting his rocks off… they’ll be done soon”.
All the pieces fell in place like a satellite crashing back down to earth. Darren was the sex god in her phone book. Darren was the lanky dude who “needed help” with something. I was apparently cool for being cool with my lady fucking another guy while I sat around in the other room. My head spun. I played it as cool as I could because I wanted to compliment to stick, but it wasnt easy. About twenty agonizing seconds later I excused myself to look for the bathroom.
