Hearing the door close behind me. I was numb. It was one thing to cancel a date, but his lack of reason was what bothered me. Sure, we weren’t techn...ically dating and he didn’t owe me an explanation, but every time we’d been together it felt warm, and this left me feeling bitter. When I got home, I finished off the contents of the picnic basket and fell asleep on the couch. Days passed without word from Eric. My phone had become annoyingly silent. I hated what I was feeling. I was upset. I. He managed to get to his feet and spoke to us. "Rick, I apologize for getting drunk on the two of you, but I have had a wonderful day. I need to get to bed before I fall asleep in the chair. You and Anne will no doubt find something to talk about, but I'm done for the night. Thank you for coming over, my friend." Anne seemed to perk up when he said that and we both offered our best to Jackson as he left for the bedroom. "Well, Rick," said Anne seductively once Jackson had left. "He'll be out in. "No, at this moment I don't entirely dislike Mr. Kelada."The two students chatted about the class and upcoming assignments. Then Mike asked if it was Ruthie's first semester, to which she nodded to the affirmative. He commented that it was his second semester and then followed up with a question that seemed innocent enough:"So ... what do you think of Davenport State so far?"Ruthie gripped a pitcher so tightly that he could see her knuckles change color. She hesitated, wondering whether to tell. I had told you before.”I too laughed and told her I was just kidding. We anyway started talking something else for 10 more minutes. As we were about to leave, Akansha asked me,“Condom hai??”(Do you have a condom)My eyes lit up and replied quickly, “No, but I can get it in 2 minutes from the pharmacy….”She started laughing loudly seeing my excitement. She then told,“Let’s book a room using Oyo app. And get a condom while on the way to the room”I quickly installed the app in the phone and booked.
