The music is playing in the background as we talk in that booze-y little bar. The song is something I’ve heard before, but don’t remember the name of, or any of the lyrics for that matter. A nostalgia washes over me for waiting in line or something. Pleasant but forgettable, not unlike poor Sarah here. Clearly Eileenalisa has done this to her enough times that she feels overshadowed, upstaged and outmatched.

The world is certainly not a fair place. But Sarah has really gotten screwed over here.

“Why didn’t Elly come talk to me, first of all? And what is going on? It looks like you are boyfriend and girlfriend?!” Sarah is furious, for clearly many reasons. I try to calm her.

“Okay, okay. I think we need to backtrack a little bit here. I don’t think you have the full picture. Also, I’m sorry if we caused you any pain. That was absolutely not our intent.” I smile meekly as I say this last part. Trying hard to convey my sincerity. I don’t know what Eileenalisa and I are to each other, we’ll have that talk soon. But making sure I didn’t just blow up one of her friendships is paramount.

I take a deep breadth. “So, Eileenalisa and I met here the first time a week ago. We spent the Türbanlı escort night together and the next morning. I wanted to start something but Eileenalisa sort of kicked me out? It was confusing. In any event, I came back to the bar tonight, hoping she’d show. I wasn’t exactly talking to you under a false pretense, but my goal was to see her. I danced with you because I wanted to live in the moment. I didn’t know what kind of intent you drew from that moment. But I want you to know, the last thing I meant to do was lead you on, or give you false expectations.

Clearly, you mean a lot to Eileenalisa. And the last thing I want you to think is she was party to this. She took me out back to yell at me. She did it to defend you and spare you from harm. And I confessed feelings to her more or less. And then things just sort of happened. I truly hope you are okay. That’s what’s most important here.”

Sarah to her credit heard me out. Didn’t interupt. Clearly she cares very deeply for Eileenalisa and she also definitely has a thing for me. Ofph, what a mess.

“Ugh. Okay, I guess I can understand that. You fessed up and you were honest. What am I supposed to do about that? Ulus escort And it’s not like you are in a relationship with her. I get that your probably both confused. But you should know, Elly does this a lot. She has insanely strong chemistry with some random person and then about a week or two later they blow up. But I guess she’s never done what she did with you.”

“Thank you for understanding. Would you be willing to talk to Eileenalisa and make up with her?” I ask very timidly.

“Uggggghhhh. I guess. Not that she deserves it at this point. I’m so done with her crap. She’s even worse than Andrea right now!” After Sarah finishes that, she smiles. “Thank you for trying to make me feel better.”

We walk over to Eileenalisa who appears crestfallen. Clearly she feels like she betrayed Sarah’s trust yet again. And she’s worried she won’t be able to fix it.

“Hello!” I beam at Eileenalisa. She looks up from her single malted whiskey and her eyes beam from me to Sarah. Sarah shrugs and makes a face but then she hugs Eileenalisa. “You found a good one here. He really went to bat for you.”

Eileenalisa’s expression changes all at once and her and Sarah move into what Üniversiteli escort I can only call a rapid fire catch up session. They are both talking fast and excitedly now. Between all the inside jokes, references to previous conversations and just general velocity of words per second, I’m pretty lost.

I decide to give them some space and walk to the bar to grab a drink. About 10 minutes later or so, I feel someone grabbing my arm. It’s Eileenalisa and she is very giggly. “SoooooOOOoooo you like me huh?” She’s super happy about this fact.

“Well, yes I do” I sort of chuckle back at her.

“That’s coooooooll. Okayyy, so I maybe sort of like you back. But just a little.” She’s clearly feeling the effects of the alcohol, or maybe it’s just pure elation? I can’t tell.

“Alright, so do you wanna date?” I ask pensively.

Her: “What?!”

Me: “What?”

Her: “Umm, wow, umm. I don’t usually date anymore. But I… I guess?”

Me: “I don’t think you could be less excited” I say with a chuckle.

Her: “No, no. It’s not that! I’m just nervous. I haven’t dated in a while.”

Me: “Well we can figure that out. What are you doing tomorrow night, want to grab dinner?”

Her: “Okay! Here is my number”

I pull out my phone and text her. She saves it, but won’t show me the name she put. Of course, she demands that I show her that I used her real and full name. This makes me think she saved me as something other than Conrad.
