“Um, thanks, don’t get out to dance as much as I want to I guess, so I’m glad you still enjoyed it. And I, I’m glad that things are looking… up for you.” I say, wanting to spill how I’ve felt this past month, that I’m sure you had a reason, that whatever happened that night, it’s okay and I just want to reconnect, I want to try and get back what we had. I can see that this conversation, as much as we both may have been craving it, is as hard for you as it is for me. That you’re also searching for what to say.
It’s hard though. The alcohol still clouds my brain some, even as it gives me a freeing feeling throughout my body. I can’t gauge why you’re as nervous as me if it’s from wanting a connection like I do and not being sure how to proceed, or if it’s from not being sure how to turn me down. I want to believe that the first reason is true, that the way your body moved against mine tonight was out of a desire for me, not simply companionship of any kind.
“So-, um, what do you do when you aren’t here?” I test the waters with, seeing if you’re willing to open up, hoping that you want to forge a connection with me as much as I want to with you, but still just unsure how to say it, even as I curse myself in my head for not asking more, for not explaining how I feel.
“I really want to get to know you more Sophie,” Comes tumbling out of my mouth before you can even respond to my first question, my wants combined with my current drunkenness to throw my previous caution to the wind. “I-I know we had a connection last time and I just don’t want to leave it there, I want to make sure it’s something more, that it wasn’t just physical!” My mouth continues to move without my mind directing it, even as my fear of you leaving this booth grows with every word I speak, I can’t deny the truth of them.
