THE PAST PART

I thought I heard a noise outside the bedroom.

If it was one of the maids I planned on losing my mind.

It’s not a fucking maid though.

At least I don’t think this girl looking up at me with terror in her eyes is a maid.

She’s looks homely. Maybe even a little homeless.

Messy hair, hoodie with the sleeves frayed and worn, a book bag hanging off her shoulder.

My greeting isn’t calm or nice, but who said I was either of those things?

It doesn’t help the situation that I’ve got a girl in the bedroom, under the covers, hiding. Just in case.

It really doesn’t help that the girl under the covers is Maria.

Now I’m sure you don’t know Maria, which is fine.

Maria has been dating Lucas Anovan.

Again, you don’t know that name either.

Lucas is the star of the lacrosse team.

A good boy in a sense.

Good grades. Cleans up nice.

The type who wants to save himself for marriage kind of vibe.

Poor Maria.

Stuck with Lucas because their parents are close and she and Lucas grew up as friends with the full intention of the two getting together and living happily ever after.

It wasn’t my idea to pop Maria’s cherry. It wasn’t my idea to have this lusty little affair with her either.

She texts. I answer.

And I’m always readily available.

It’s as simple as that, and I don’t think you need to know anything about that situation.

I’m way more concerned about the girl standing in front of me.

“I’m Abrielle,” she says.

“What-ielle?” I ask. “Gabrielle?”

“No G,” she says.

“What does that mean? You don’t have a G-spot? You sure about that?”
