VKNF17 – A Fine Howdy We Did

”Hey,” I said, presenting the tickets to him. His eyes were welling up with tears, but he wasn’t QUITE crying. So, like, I could save this, right?
”If you, you know, wanna hang out sometime?”
”Oh?” she said, gently snatching the ticket out of my hand.
”You seem like you could use a real friend. A real friend who’s invisible metrics by which they judge you aren’t quite as strict as God’s.”
”I, uh, thought this would be a fun, goofy sex thing. But I put you in a weird spot, didn’t I?”
Martin looked away. ”Yeah, well, I’ve been in a weird spot for a while now.”
I couldn’t make eye contact at her, worried that she was now bawling. ”Deflowering you on a skeetball ramp may not have been the chillest hello in the world, but it isn’t THE WORST introduction to who I am and what I’m about.”
”If you need a pal,” I continued. ”Give me a ring. We can chat, hang out, have dinner, and maybe continue our sexual relationship. Or not! Your call.”
Yeah
Well, like I said, if you’re not forward with people, you never know.
