Tegan's POV
It was a warm Wednesday afternoon. I decided I had waited long enough, almost a whole 24 hours.
Hey Sara. It's Tegan. I was wondering if you're free tomorrow afternoon? I sent the message quickly so I wouldn't chicken out again. After a few minutes I got her reply.
Hi Tegan! I unfortunately have something to do tomorrow, but how does Friday at about one sound?
That sounds great. See you on Friday at The Brewhouse then? I sent it to her, giddily awaiting her reply.
Yep. See you then.
So now it was set. Our "date" was on Friday. I walked home from work and plopped on my couch as soon as I got there.
Sara's POV
Tegan finally texted me to set up our "meet-up". I refused to call it a date because I knew if I did it would only cause me inner turmoil, and more trouble She wanted to see me tomorrow but I had an actual date with Stacy tomorrow. Stacy... We've only been seeing each other for about a month but she seems to like me a lot. Maybe more than I like her.
Sara's POV
-Thursday night-
I was in the middle of reading Independence Day when a knock on my door startled me. When I opened the door a gleeful Stacy greeted me.
"Sara!" She pulled me into a hug.
"Hi Stacy." When we managed to separate she asked if chinese food was okay.
"That sounds fine. Just let me grab a coat."
The whole car ride was a blur, Stacy going on and on about some random topic I had hardly remembered her bringing up. Once we got to the restaurant and were seated she tried to start some conversations with me but my short responses did nothing to help her. I couldn't help it though. My mind was elsewhere thinking about Tegan and how no matter how I played my cards somebody was going to get hurt and it was most likely to be Stacy.
"Sara are you mad at me or something?" Stacy asked hurt.
"What? Oh no. Not at all. I'm just not feeling well." I tried to deflect what I was really thinking.
"Oh well do you want me to just take you home then?" She asked
"Actually that seems like a pretty good idea. Sorry to cut the night so short." I told her.
"It's fine really" She replied with a smile as she called a waiter over for the check and some to go boxes.
We were mostly silent as she drove me home. Once she had walked me to the front door of my apartment she gave me a short kiss that I was not expecting at all.
"Oh sorry." She mumbled after I didn't return her affection.
"No, I'm sorry. I think I just need to go to bed and rest…" I tried to console her.
"Yeah, Um. Good night Sara." She said her voice full of sadness and hurt.
"Good night Stacy." I sighed as she turned and left.
Jesus Christ. This is going to be harder than I thought. I was such a dick to her at dinner tonight. I thought to myself, as I got ready for bed. I just hope I'm not such an ass to Tegan.
