The next day Eric went over to Buddy's house again. They talked for a while until Eric said: "That girl I told you about, you know, well.."
"Well what?"
"We…had sex."
"Holy cow! Wow! Fuck I'm even more jealous of her now. Give me details, where, when everything!"
"Well the day before yesterday I was over at her house, and…"
"And what?"
"And then again yesterday."
"Wow, well of course once wasn't enough for her! She wanted more, damn!"
"Actually…we did it three times…both times!"
"Holy shit! Fuck I'm so hard now, this is wild!"
"I know it's been awesome, but I'm still thinking about Donna. Feels like I'm cheating on her."
"But you're not, you two are broken up, and this girl is someone you are obviously enjoying being with, so what's the problem?"
"I still love Donna."
"Are you going to see that girl again?"
"Well…yeah."
Buddy giggled. "Let me tell you something, Eric, OK? I dated girls, I guess I'm more of a bisexual. I was madly in love with that girl and she broke up with me. I was devastated for a while and this guy seduced me. That was the first time I had sex with a guy. I was still thinking about that girl but that guy brought out this something in me, you know, this sex drive. It was awesome but this girl was still on my mind, so I ended it with that guy and later I regretted it."
"What's your point?", Eric asked.
"My point is that you have to decide what you want and enjoy it. Look, first you kissed that girl but you didn't get back with Donna afterwards, right?"
"Right."
"And then you had sex with her and still didn't get back with Donna, right?"
"It's not that simple, Buddy. I don't know what she wants"
"Yes it is. She lives right next door, all you have to do is walk over but you're not doing that because you still wanna fuck that other girl. So make up your mind. Get back together with Donna or put your relationship with Donna behind you and have the time of your life fucking that other girl."
"OK I do enjoy being with that other girl, but that doesn't make me forget Donna."
"Nothing ever will, Eric. What you had with Donna will always be a part of you and this desire you have to experience something with other girls doesn't take anything away from what you had with Donna. Your relationship with Donna will always be a part of you, Eric. And it can be a part of you while you're in a relationship with another girl."
"I don't know if I can call it a relationship," Eric said somberly.
"It's OK if it's just sex, Eric. If you and that other girl want it that way, then there is really no problem here. If you're not getting back together with Donna, don't let your feelings for her hold you back. You obviously love fucking that other girl. Don't put yourself in a position in which you regret missing out on all that sex."
Eric remained silent. He realized what Buddy was trying to say. They talked some more and then he left.
