Catch Me

What Was I Thinking?

Riley

Around six in the morning, I woke up to a naked and very attractive man known as Zack Merrick, the bass player for All Time Low. Last time had been a glorious night as I had sex with perhaps the hottest man in the city; I should know. I’ve slept with so many men over the past three years. Zack was something else; I couldn’t believe he danced with me the way that he did and took me home with him. It felt as though as he was too good for me, too good for little Miss Riley Paulson who sleeps around and has a job as a goddamn bank teller. I wanted something more than this; my life is pathetic beyond reason. Work five days a week, hangout with my friends every weekend, drink and of course, find a good fuck every now and then. I need stability and it seems as though at twenty-eight, it’s not gonna happen. I want to see Zack again, but I highly doubt he’ll get a hold of me, especially with that note.

Seriously, Riley? You wrote a note, leaving your number and asking if he wants to see you again. He’s a guy in a popular band! Just like any other musician, they sleep with women.

Getting out of bed, I felt like I was beaten and I was having trouble walking; that just means it was mind blowing sex. That was the best sex I’ve had in a long time.

I drove home and slept for five more hours before heading to lunch with my best friend, Myra. Our friend Krissy, who I would’ve loved to talk to also, was spending the day with her boyfriend. I drove to our favorite restaurant still sore but feeling good as well.

“Hey girl.” I said hugging in front of the restaurant.

“Hey! Where’d you go last night?”

She was one of two friends I was out with last night and the other was obviously Krissy. Myra is very modelsque as she’s 5’9 and has long, flowing brown hair; we had met when we were in kindergarten. My other friend has shoulder length blonde hair and is three inches shorter; I met her in junior high. She looked so lost, almost as lost as Myra and I, so we found her and became great friends. As flawless as they are, I’m not so sure about myself; I have long, curly brown hair and brown eyes. Obviously, Zack found me gorgeous, but I don’t know...

“I’ll tell you once we sit down.”

She nodded.

Only a few minutes later, we were seated in a booth.

“So, where’d you go?”

I sighed.

“I flirted with a guy, danced with him and headed back to his place.” I said like it was nothing.

She shook her head.

“Why am I not surprised?”

She hated to see me go off with so many strange men over the past three years, but there’s a legitimate reason why she feels that way and I couldn’t agree with her more. I looked up and sighed once again; it was sad and I wish I wasn’t. Riley is terribly lonely. Before I could give her a response, we were interrupted by our waitress asking for our drink order.

“Yeah... I’m not either.”

“Riley, I didn’t mean to insult you or hurt your feelings.”

“I know. I was just thinking that I am sad and lonely too.”

“Oh, honey...”

“Well, um... can I tell you who it was? You might like this.”

“Of course.”

“Zack Merrick.” I said with a smile.

Her mouth dropped open.

“No.”

“Yes.”

“How was he?”

“Unbelievable. I could hardly get up this morning.”

“I noticed you looked a bit sore.”

“Yep and I want to see him again.”

We were interrupted again by our waitress setting our drinks down and taking our lunch order.

“Really? This is a first since five years ago, of course.”

“Yep. I left him a note with my number, saying how last night was and let him know if he wanted to see me again that was great and if he didn’t want to, that was fine too. I don’t know though. He’s a musician after all...”

“So, what? Not all of them are the same. They all don’t just want a one night stand and anyway, you’re gorgeous. You must’ve been pretty special if you had that kind of sex.”

“Maybe.” I said shrugging.

“Well, he’d be crazy if he didn’t. You’re an amazing person.”

Zack

That afternoon, my girlfriend, Anna, called.

“Hey honey.”

“Hey baby. What’s up?”

“Not much. Just looking for something to eat.”

“Well, I was thinking about going out for lunch.”

“Cool. Where were you thinking?”

When she said where, I smiled. I loved that place.

“That sounds great. Are you ready? I’ll pick you up.”

“Just about. See you soon.”

“See ya. Love ya.”

“Love ya, too.”

Minutes later, I walked in holding her hand. We were quickly seated and I couldn’t wait to eat.

“So, did you have a great time last night?”

Very good. Very good, indeed.

“Absolutely. I went out to a club with the guys. How was your night?”

“Great. Last night was spent eating great food and drinking.”

“Cool. You tell Leila, happy birthday for me?”

“Of course and she appreciated the wish.”

“That was a stupid question. Wasn’t it?” I said, laughing.

“Yeah. It was.” she said laughing as well.

I heard another laugh and recognized it immediately. Riley. Who’s she here with? I saw her get up from her booth and heard her say that she’d be back in a sec and got a response from someone I assumed was her friend. I looked down at my menu to see what I wanted.

“Don’t know what you want?” she asked as I flipped through it twice.

“No idea.”

“I think I can help you with that.”

I heard her walk by. I can’t even imagine what’s thinking right now. I wanted to facepalm myself, but I couldn’t.

“What’s wrong, Zack?”

“Just have a headache is all.”

Riley

I saw Zack with a woman who appeared to be his girlfriend. His girlfriend. Tears sprung to my eyes as I made it back.

“Riley. What’s wrong?”

“He has a girlfriend.”

“What?”

“I just saw him with her.”

“Are you sure?”

“100%. You shoulda seen the way he was looking at her. I was just another good fuck.”

I tried not to cry as I ate.

“Oh... that asshole!” she said whispering.

“Is it too early for a drink?”

“Rye...”

“No, Myra. No. Shut up.”

She made a face.

“You at least wanna shop first? Shopping will you make feel a bit better.”

I nodded.

“Good idea.” I said smiling.

“Good.” she smiled back.

We finished eating and made our way out with tears still in my eyes. I could feel both Zack and his girlfriend looking at me. I wondered what the fucker was thinking? Once in the car, I began fixing my makeup.

“Your makeup is fine.”

I ignored her.

“I saw her.” she said.

“What did ya think? She’s pretty. Isn’t she? Prettier than me?”

“She’s pretty, but definitely not as pretty as you.”

I smiled a little.

We headed to the mall and shopped which got me to feel better but not completely. I still needed a drink.

“Thanks for letting me have a drink.” I said chilling at my apartment.

“No problem.”

“Can I tell you something?”

“Of course.”

“I’m glad to be rid of him. He was just like everyone else. He didn’t mean a thing to me. Nothing!” I said becoming over emotional.

“Riley!” she yelled, wrapping her arms around me.

“I’m so sick of sleeping around.” I cried in her arms.

I went to bed that night determined to forget about it and change my ways, no matter how long it took nor how hard it would be.
