“He’s not seriously coming over, is he?”
“Yeah, he is. And he instructed me to stay put so that way I can make sure that you don’t avoid him.”
“I wouldn’t avoid him.”
“Bullshit. You weren’t going to answer his call. He said you haven’t answered any of his calls.”
“To be fair, I didn’t answer any of yours either, or my mom’s.”
“Wait. Are you breaking up with me, too?” Kim pouts.
Knock! Knock!
“What the!” I look at the door. “Where was he?” My jaw drops.
“Downstairs?” her voice hitches as she shrugs nonchalantly.
“Do you not see me? I look… I look…” I’m frantically motioning to my clothes as Kim walks around the couch and answers the door.
Kim shrieks at Gunnar as she lets him into my place then I hear low murmurs as I’m stuck in my place.
Gunnar steps out of the small hallway and steps forward.
“Hi,” he says nervously.
“Hey.” I offer him a small smile as I’m still frozen on the couch.
SEVEN
GUNNAR
SAWYER IS PERCHED on her couch, as if she’s frozen in place. Her hair is in a tight ponytail, her face makeup-less and her clothing is relaxed. She’s wearing a loose shirt, that hugs her breasts and shows off her cleavage perfectly. I can’t see her pants, but I see they are plaid and they look like pajamas. She looks beautiful.
I’m nervous as all hell, especially since I wasn’t completely sure where we stood when I left last night. I warned her about the possibility of some news happening since Melinda and I were photographed leaving together out of chance. I can only assume that was the reasoning for her not answering my texts and calls today.
“Hi,” I say, my nerves getting the best of me as I put my hands in my pockets.
“Hey,” she says shyly.
“So, I’m going to go and leave you two lovebirds to it. It was nice to meet you Gunnar, big fan, like if things don’t work out here, I’d gladly have some of your babies, just to say that my babies will be beautiful and maybe even have a really nice ass with a killer throwing arm, yeah – that.” her friend says awkwardly from the hallway with two thumbs up and as she exits Sawyer’s apartment, leaving us alone.
“She’s interesting,” I point out.
“Yeah, she’s one of a kind that’s for sure.” Sawyer smiles and then crosses her arms over her chest. “Gunnar, what are you doing here?”
“I wanted to see you. And since you weren’t returning calls or messages, here I am. I can’t stay long, but I need to see you. I need to see for myself that you are okay?”
“Gunnar, this stuff hasn’t gone away,” she says quietly while shaking her head.
“I know. I’m working on it. I promise you, but it’s not an overnight thing. I have to talk to the Skipper and see if he can do anything. There’s recon to do here and I’m working on it.” I reply with determination. “I just wanted to see you, see if you were okay.”
“I know what was said wasn’t true. And I’m okay, I really am,” she replies quietly.
“I still needed to see for myself. I’ve got to go. I have a game that I should be warming up for.”
“Play hard.”
“Or not at all.” I smile, and shut the door behind me, hoping that she will let me back in again.
