Excerpt
"Man, I suck at this," I blurt out, while on a jog around the perimeter of the Fall Fair with Jesse. We started hanging out years ago after our sisters became BFFs.
"O-kayyy..." He elongates the word, briefly cutting his eyes in my direction. "Do you care to elaborate?"
"Ugh, at romancing a woman. It's like I forgot how to do it, since I haven't dated for years. Before Kylee, Roxanne was the only woman I'd ever loved. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm sure Roxanne put the moves on me first. Which means, I have no game. Dang, I'm doomed."
"I assume you're talking about romancing Kylee? Tell me what happened before I give my opinion on the situation."
Shaking my head as we run past a seven-foot scarecrow and two smaller ones along the jogging trail, I try explaining. "It's bad; really bad," I huff. "One minute, we were sipping wine and cuddling on the sofa after an amazing French meal she made, and the next, something completely different than what I had planned to say came pouring out of my mouth."
"Oh, gosh, what'd you say?"
"I said something like... if it's not clear that I want us to have a future together and to, uh, share a house so we can do more stuff like this--"
"Stop!" We quit running as Jesse steps to the side of the trail. "You're right, you do suck at this." He chuckles. "That's the worst thing I've ever heard a guy say to the woman he loves. What was her response?"
"It wasn't great. She didn't say anything at first, so I added, unless it's not something you want. Finally, she grabbed my hand and said she'd love for us to live in the same house, but then she looked confused after she said it."
"Man, I can definitely see why. You need to watch some romance movies or something because you're right, you have zero game with the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with."
"Geez, thanks for the vote of confidence, buddy," I quip. As we resume running, I'm suddenly feeling worse than I did before.
