the other day. The confusion in her eyes is telling me a different story than the one he told me.
     
    “Uh, yeah. His ex-fiance?”
     
    “Oh ok. Yeah right. Her.” She fidgets.
     
    “Brianna, what were you guys talking about the other day?”
     
    She squirms in her seat, picking at her nails. “I can’t get into it. Kendra, his past is complicated. That’s all I can say.”
     
    “What the hell is that supposed to mean?” I feel my blood rush to my ears and a tinny taste coat the back of my tongue. Did he lie to me yesterday?
     
    “Hey, calm down. I’ll tell you what it doesn’t mean,” the edge in her tone is razor sharp, “it doesn’t mean that you have anything to worry about. He’s in love with you. And only you.” She gives me a hard stare that lands like a slap in the face. I deserve her pointed comments after accusing her of sleeping with him.
     
    “I’m sorry, I just... I just don’t like being in the dark.”
     
    “Whoa wait a second, hold up, you’re trying to tell me that you have some control issues? I’m just not sure that I can wrap my brain around that,” she smiles as she pokes at me. “And here I thought you were such a free-spirit with your micromanaged schedule and your ten year plan.”
     
    “Alright, I get it,” I laugh. “So I’m not good at handing over the reigns, I guess.”
     
    “Trust me, I know. You just need to trust that I wouldn’t keep anything from you if it would hurt you. Matthew is a good guy, Kendra. A good guy who loves you. You just need to give him some time to open up. I know he will. In the meantime, start enjoying the fact that Matthew fucking Blackwell is in goddamned love with you.” She’s starting to get a few pointed stares from other coffee drinkers in here again. You’d think this was a library, not a Starbucks.
     
    “Shhh, I do. I am.”
     
    “How much are you enjoying it?” She prods. I know exactly what she’s getting at. Brianna has never approved of my decision to wait before losing my virginity, I can see that she’s hoping I finally gave it up.
     
    “He makes sure I’m enjoying him in every way.” I lower my voice just above a whisper.
     
    “I knew it! You guys totally fucked didn’t you?” Ok, everyone heard that! I try to disappear under the table as the people surrounding us suddenly look a lot more interested in our conversation.
     
    “Brianna! Good God, put out an ad will ya?” I try to avoid the eyes of nosy strangers. “Yes, we made love,” she snorts at my choice of words, “and it’s been incredible. I know it sounds lame, but I feel different too.”
     
    “How do you mean?” Brianna finishes her tea in one gulp and waits for me to figure out what I’m trying to say.
     
    “I don’t mean in that star-eyed way, like how you were when you slept with big, dumb Joe.”
     
    “Hey now! I was only seventeen, cut me some slack. Remember when I told you he was my destiny? Oh my god, I was so innocent then,” she laughs.
     
    “Exactly, I don’t mean like that. I guess I feel different in the way that I know I’m just growing up. I feel like this is one more step into adulthood. I mean, I’m graduating soon, I’m dating, I have an amazing job interview tomorrow… it just seems like things are really coming together, you know?”
     
    “Job interview? Where?”
     
    “At a place called Bravark, in their marketing department. Can you imagine? It would be so perfect. I keep telling myself not to get too excited. I just need to look at this as a great opportunity, but if it doesn’t work out it will still be excellent interview practice.”
     
    “Kendra, listen to yourself! Get excited! Be happy! You’re not going to jinx anything if you actually let yourself enjoy life for a bit. It sounds like you’re just looking at everything like they’re boxes to tick off. Diploma? Check! Man? Check! Job? Check! I mean, come on!”
     
    “There’s nothing wrong with having goals, is there?” I
