Melissa

it was my last day at the job and a woman who worked there approached me in what i thought was a fairly bold manner
it was unspoken but it was bold
she used the old "we should hang out some time," line

she was very good looking
but a little too goofy and suburban for me
with very mainstream tastes
nothing that attracted me to her in a cultural sense

i remember one time she was laughing hard because the winter cap i was wearing was inside out
she found that so funny
no one she knew would ever do that
the tag was on the outside
who would commit such a faux pas
i couldn't have cared less about little shit like that
i've worn shirts inside out to work and didn't care enough to even change it once i found out
to put it mildly i did not respect her
but i went out with her anyway

the first time we went to a mediocre chinese joint
then under the pretense of watching tv or some shit like that we went to her apartment
we turned on the television set
she tried to turn me around about the show "friends"
she thought it was very funny
i thought it was quite lame
those characters either bored or insulted me

but soon we were touching
then stroking
fingers running over skin is pretty damn cool
(i love the slightly dreamy-woozy feeling you get in your head)
not much longer and the kissing started
and then hands were going everywhere
the clothes started coming off
we headed to her bedroom to have sex
it was decent
it could have been better if i had tried a little harder

over the next six months or so we had a sex a couple more times
we didn't bother with excuses like tv shows after the first time
usually one of us would just call when we wanted to fuck and i would drive to her place and we would have sex
it was usually pretty good
i never spent the night
she never asked me to

one night as we lay in her bed i simply couldn't get it up
i was done
it had run its course
i got dressed and went home
that was the last time we were together

i saw her in public a couple times after that
once i completely ignored her
i was mean
then i saw her out with a nice simple suburban guy who i knew
and they were together
i was happy for her
she had found a guy on her level

i never saw them again after that
but i am friends with him on facebook and every once in a while a picture of them pops up
they have a cute kid too
its great for them
they seem really happy
its good when things work out the way they should
and not the way they shouldn't
