His phone vibrated. New text message. It had been a long day, and he was reluctant to open it. When he got up the courage to, he froze. He hadn't heard from her in months, ever since he started dating Andrea, a relationship which had recently terminated. Apparently word got out he was back on the market and looking for a rebound, and this message proved that.
'Noah, honey, heard you were unattached. That must be hell for a stud like you. Want some help, or will your hand hold you over until the next one?'
Veronica had always been forward, but this was way more than he was used to. Was she offering what he assumed she was, he had taught himself never to assume, but this pretty must outlined it.
He struggled for a few minutes with a response, and settled on 'What do you mean?', always playing the innocent one.
He stared at his phone for a few moments, and jumped slightly when it vibrated.
'Save us both some time and assume for once in your life. My place, ten, be there or be square'
He scrambled for an excuse, and sent many, but there was no response to any of them.
It was late afternoon, so he spent many hours madly thinking over his options. The term fight or flight came to mind. Then after this realisation, he knew that flight was just not an option.
At 9:55, he somehow found himself at Veronica's place, allowing himself five minutes of panic time before he finally rung the bell.
She opened the door. His memory of her didn't serve her well. She was absolutely gorgeous. 5'6'', D chest, nice ass, shapely legs, long brown hair that floated down her back, and deep brown eyes. She wore a short black leather skirt, high heels, and a tight fitting halter top that accentuated every curve.
She smiled at him as he looked her over, and once his eyes returned to hers, she invited him in.
"So Noah.." she said after she had served him a drink and they were sitting opposite each other in the living room "you dumped Andrea... pity". She smiled at that, and laughed slightly. "I always liked her"
He knew this was completely not true, so did she. She kept her eyes firmly on him the whole time, with a stare that made him want to look away. It softened slightly when she came and sat beside Noah and placed her hand on his thigh.
'Now that she's out of the picture, do you miss it?'
'Not really, I enjoy being single' he replied.
'But doesn't it get lonely' she asked
'No, my life's exciting'
'I wasn't talking about you' she winked and licked her lips.
He was getting nervous now. He had just broken up with Andrea, he was over stressed, over worked. He didn't need these complications right now.
"I'm not sleeping with you, Veronica"
She laughed and brought her hand up to show him her hand. She had a ring on.
"You're married?!?" he exclaimed.
