would go up there with a guy?” I asked. “Ludicrous.”
    “Well, that’s kind of what I thought , but then I thought what the hell. So I climbed up there.”
    “That’s like 20 or 30 steps? On crutches?” I shook my head.
    “Twenty six. I counted. We get up there and dumb ass Matt looks at me and said ‘ W anna do it?’ ”
    “Oh, so it was romantic,” I laughed.
    “Funny” she smiled. “He reached over, touched my boob, pulled down my panties, and stuck it in. Convenient that I wore a mini skirt. Otherwise he would have gotten confused on what to do. Not sure he is smart enough for a button. He sure wasn’t smart enough to unhook a bra.”
    “That’s a tender love story you can tell your kids one day. Did it hurt?”
    “Funny you should ask,” she smiled, “It happened so fast I don’t think it did. I bent over he stuck it in and came. Like that.”
    “Awe, just like a Harlequin.”
    “Stop,” she laughed. “At least it’s over with. No more wondering, no more being nervous about it.”
    “Can I assume he didn’t satisfy your needs?”
    “He came so fast , I doubt he satisfied his own needs.”
    “I think I really want romance and special and nervous. I want it to be perfect.”
    “First times are never perfect. They say they are awkward and painful.”
    “You just described Matt ,” I laughed , “ a wkward and painful. It sounds like it just took you a couple minutes. Why did it take so long to get back?”
    “I had to pee so bad I was going to die. We had to walk all the way over to the wooded area so no cars would drive by and I squatted down to pee. I couldn’t balance cause of the cast so Matt had to hold me up.”
    “He’s such a Prince Charming. Was that not totally embarrassing.”
    “Duh, but pee running down my leg would have been more. Right?”
    I was thinking not going to the ballpark at all would have been the better decision, but I didn’t want to argue.
    “Well Erica, if you are happy, I am happy for you,” I lied, glancing at the computer.
    Michael: I’m back
    Alex: Same. I noticed your status.
    Michael: I wanted you to
    Alex: And what exactly was amazing? I saw Hailey liked it
    Michael: I saw that also .
    I waited for an explanation on why he wanted me to see his and Hailey’s Facebook posts.
    Michael: I want to ask you a favor .
    Alex: ?
    Michael: I wanted to know if you had a friend that would be interested in a double date. I don’t want to exclude Derek and we still don’t know people in town yet. And I was hoping you had a friend that might like to hang out for the evening. Nothing serious.
    I didn’t know what to say. I wanted to get off the computer as fast as I could.
    Alex: It would be better if you asked Hailey. She has plenty of friends.
    Michael: ?? Why her?
    Alex: Isn’t that who you are going out with?
    Michael: Uh, nope. You??? Sorry, I posted on your wall. I assumed you saw.
    I clicked over to my profile page and saw Please go out with me Saturday night! This is me begging!
    “Awe, look how sweet,” I said, showing Erica.
    “Precious,” she mocked.
    Alex: I’d love to! I thought with the status, you were talking about Hailey.
    Michael: As if! (That’s me sounding like Hailey) Spot on, eh?
    Alex: that was definitely her. You are so gifted.
    Michael: I know, right? I am a pro at impersonations. Just wait. But I want to take you out. Can you show us around the area? Maybe a movie? Whatever you want to do.
    Alex: Sounds great. And yes, I will find a friend.
    Michael: I gotta get to bed. Tomorrow at 6?
    Alex: I’m at Erica’s for the weekend. Here’s my cell number. You can call or text me and I’ll give you directions. 417 555 6652
    Michael: Thanks for saying yes . I’ll text you tomorrow
    Alex: Gnite
    Michael: Good nigh t
     
    “You want to go out with Derek tomorrow night?” I asked
    “Hells yes!” Erica said, clearing our plates away. “How’d you ever land Michael?”
    I didn’t know quite how to take that question.
    “Just
