Day 65: Tales Of Taking Sides And Imaginary Conflict
Day 65 Of How To Move On From A Man — 1LD
Spin class.
Sweat.
Heaven.
It feels like forever since I’ve been to one. I tried to convince James to join me and GG for a session of huffy puffy, but he told me he had better places to be.
Considering we worked from home and our entire business centred around what happened at 1 Lovelock Drive, I’m not quite sure what he was talking about.
Where was this mystery place he spoke of?
And why didn’t I need to be there too?
I asked GG about James’ new disappearing act. I thought it might have been the man I met a couple of weeks ago.
Despite meeting him, James’ notoriety for having a private love life was a lifetime habit I knew he was unable to break.
“Do you think he’s still with Christopher and having sleepovers with him? Or day sleepovers?”
GG stopped cycling to contemplate the answer. “He did tell me it was all over with Christopher. Apparently, he was a selfish lover. He was all cock but didn’t know how to use it. He could please himself and no one else.”
I raised an eyebrow. It was too early for someone to casually be dropping cocks in my lap.
“You know how James gets. If they aren’t perfect, he moves on.”
I couldn’t deny how right GG was. James was a unicorn hunter, after all. Always looking for a mythical man to change his life. After GG’s divorce and my epic failure with Douglas, surely he would know better by now; unicorns don’t exist.
Alas, you can lead your friends to good wine, but you can’t make them appreciate it.
“Well, if he isn’t with Christopher, who’s he with?”
GG cycled faster. I assumed this was to make up for the fact we kept stopping and talking. She didn’t answer me.
“Hey, GG, are you there? Do you know where James is?”
GG stopped once again.
“Don’t bring me into this best friend, roommate drama, whatever it is. I’m friends with you both of you. Making me choose? I can’t do that right now.”
Who’s making GG choose?
I wasn’t putting a gun to her head. I wasn’t telling her to take sides in some made-up war. I only wanted to know if she knew anything before I asked James.
What was the big deal?
“That’s funny. I didn’t know we needed a Switzerland in this situation.”
GG laughed. We finished our class and she invited me to dinner at Taylor’s apartment for tomorrow night. I said yes, only because I didn’t have anything else to do.
Probably not the best justification for accepting an invitation, but it would have to do.
