Missed? Really? Huh...wouldn't have guessed..."Likewise. It's good to hang out again, we should do it more often." I say that casually as possible. Don't want her too think I'm desperate or anything. Well, maybe am I a little. I'm wonder why I ever let her go in the first place...? I feel the sharpness of her nail poke into the belly that's popped up over the last couple of weeks. I grin. "That's just a sign of a life well lived, Ms. Jones!" Playfully, I grab the roll and jiggle it for her. "And I suggest something fattening, as I see you're skinny as ever." I give her another poke back in her tummy, before pulling out.<br/><br/>Just as I'm about to make conversation when your phone goes off. You always bring that thing everywhere. I causally listen to your side of the conversation, and my heart sinks a little. Looks like you got yourself a new man. Should have known, girls like that don't stay single for long. It was silly of me to consider even getting back together with her...consider? I'm starting to question if I was really over Lacey at all with this. I think I still love her, deep down.<br/><br/>She apologizes. I pull out my best fake laugh. "Hahaha, got a new squeeze, huh?" I try not to let the pain of THAT show on my face...
