After the fantastic fuck in the stall and our bodies uncoupled, Billy handed me a card from his back pocket. It read: Billy Rawn, content creator, with his number at the bottom.
"Content creator?" I asked, looking up from the card.
I was surprised to discover I was now standing alone in the stall. He had somehow slipped out without me noticing, like a thief in the night. I leaned back against the wall, taking in the surreality of the whole situation. After a few minutes of replaying the events that just happened over and over in my head, I figured I better go back to my table before my best friend came looking for me. I searched the floor for my panties. It wasn't like I could wear them anyways, but I didn't want to leave them there. They were nowhere to be found.
Did he take them? Cheeky monkey...
I made it back to the table. Billy's table was empty, he and his friends gone. I attempted to carry on with the night like nothing had happened, but my thoughts were consumed with him. The way he looked at me, the way he touched me, and especially, the way he fucked me.
For a week straight I thought of nothing else except him. Every day was just me going through the motions, drifting around my daily life. He had given me his number. The ball was in my court. I just couldn't work up the courage to call. Maybe I could text. Yeah, texting is casual and informal. But what the hell would I say? Hey this is Jade. The girl you fucked in the bathroom. Want to fuck again?
After a couple days of internal struggle, I finally gave in. I couldn't stand it anymore. I wanted more of him. I needed more. I ended up texting him with a simple; Hey. It's Jade.
That was two days ago, and he still had not texted back. I tried desperately to convince myself that he was busy, but I knew I was kidding myself. He wasn't interested in me, fine. I was an adult. I could bounce back. So, when a guy from work asked if I wanted to have coffee with him, I figured why the hell not. Though I seriously doubted any guy could ever give me what Billy did.
Saturday afternoon I met him, Thomas, at a nearby coffee shop. Nothing special. Just a generic coffee place that could be found in any random city in the US. We talked about miscellaneous topics while we sipped coffee. He was cool and easy to talk to. For the first time in over a week, all thoughts of Billy escaped my mind.
The text notification chimed on my phone. "Excuse me," I said as I picked up my phone. I opened the text without really looking at the number.
Who's that?
I glanced up at the name at the top of the text. It was Billy. My pulse began to race. Then my stomach dropped as I realized he was asking who I was. Oh my God. This was horrifying. I felt so stupid. Should I text back or save myself the embarrassment? Fuck it.
You don't remember me?
I texted.
Oh, I remember you perfectly, Jade.
I could hear him say my name in my head.
Who's that sitting with you?
I was so relieved that it took a minute to register what he just asked me.
How do you know I'm with someone?
Look to your right.
He responded

I looked to my right and met his eyes. He was sitting in a booth in the corner, looking extra delicious, a cup of coffee next to his arm. He was wearing a dark red, long-sleeved shirt. His clothes always seemed to hug him perfectly, contouring his upper body in all the right places. The shirt was V-neck, exposing a triangle of bronze skin. He smiled that panty-dropping smile and my knees went weak. How long had he been there? Was he there already when we got here?
"Holy shit," I whispered, smiling back.
"What?" Thomas asked.
I turned to Thomas. "Uh...nothing," I lied. Then went right back to staring at my phone.
We have to stop meeting like this
. I texted.
He texted a shrug emoji
