I needed a few days to cool off. After watching what happened in Julie and Jake’s bedroom, I knew I wanted, no, needed to play with them. I hated going out into the world, but I made every effort to be near their building when they would do be coming in.
I knew Jake came in later most nights, but I felt that Julie was the person I needed to run across. I tried loitering outside the building for about 2 weeks. I eventually got tired and walked to the local coffee shop. I browsed the news app absentmindedly drinking my soy chai latte feeling sorry for myself. “Maybe I will eat that donut” I thought, knowing I would never be in their bedroom. “I don’t care if I gain a pound.”
The door opened and the bell rang, alerting the barista that someone had arrived. I glanced over and it was Julie! “Shit shit shit, what do I do now?” I was paralyzed in my chair, unsure of what to do. I just stared at her while she waited for her drink. After getting her drink, her eyes met mine and I knew she had recognized me.
