Had I overreacted?

Should I apologize to him?

Maybe I should have talked to him in a better way instead of 'attacking' him?

I asked myself those questions, but then I looked at him and that pissed me off again!

He was resting on the couch with his hands behind his back as he was staring at the wall. He looked angry and pissed off.

Should I really apologize to him?

I mean, why should I?

His family was constantly putting me down ever since I came here, and he didn't give a damn about how that made me feel!

I guess all men are just the same!

Once you started having some expectations from them, you realized that they all are just fucking same!

I shouldn't have allowed this to go on for so long!

"Edward Cullen seems to be interested in you," Kate said to me in the pub.

"Hmmm..." I said.

Yes, I had noticed that! He was James' investment banker friend, and I did notice that he was throwing glances at me as he talked with everyone.

I had finally decided that it was time to move on. Last few months had been extremely difficult for me, but finally after the divorce and the bunch of therapy sessions, I realized that it was time to allow myself to live life again.

"How much do you know about him?" I asked her.

"Ooh, he's a real catch! He's Mr. Richie Rich. His family is super fucking rich, but he wants to do things on his own," she said.

Oh! I guess he'd be too out of league for a hookup?

We didn't talk a lot while we were at the pub, but he approached me while I was waiting for the cab.

"Hey..." I smiled.

"It was nice to meet you," he said.

"Nice to meet you, too," I smiled.

"I must say you have a great sense of humor," he chuckled.

"Ummm thanks! I don't think it's great though!" I smiled.

"I think some of your comments were pretty hilarious," he said.

"I'm glad you found them hilarious! Usually people don't get them!" I smiled.

"Ummm... So I heard you're single right now?" he said.

Huh! He was actually going to ask me out!

"I'm not looking for anything serious right now," I said.

I wasn't sure if it was really necessary to mention that! I mean, who said he was interested in having a serious relationship with me! But I guess I just wanted to make it clear that I didn't want anything serious!

"That's perfect," he smiled, "I'm not looking for anything serious either."

Didn't I think it was going to be a one night stand or maybe a month long fling or something?

How had it been four fucking years already!

But now that it had gone on for so long, I guess I was not too wrong to have some kind of expectations from him!

God, I was doing so well without it!

I had a feeling this was going to ruin everything!
