Maybe Later(54)

AWalk90: Did she discover you’re an ogre?

AWalk90: She wanted you just for your money?

JSpear84: Actually, I found out she is a very successful woman.

AWalk90: So, you googled her and realized she’s your competition?

JSpear84: No, why would I be cyberstalking her?

JSpear84: Let’s get this straight, I don’t feel threatened by successful women.

JSpear84: Does that happen to you often? Men feeling intimidated because you kickass at what you do?

AWalk90: Aww, I got a compliment.

AWalk90: Yes, earning more than a man can be threatening to some, not all. What happened with her?

JSpear84: Look it isn’t about her money, my money or anything like that.

AWalk90: Do you want to get back with her?

JSpear84: I didn’t say that.

AWalk90: You’re not sure either way. Is it fear of finally opening up?

AWalk90: She made you happy, which means you can still save this. You’ll have to grovel if you just ghosted her. Surprise her with the best date ever.

JSpear84: How do I know what would be the best date ever?

AWalk90: I knew it, you really like her.

JSpear84: Focus, Amy, and don’t gloat. What is Amy short for?

AWalk90: Focus, Spearman, we have to save your future, or I’ll end up creating a personal ad to get you a happy ending. (Amelia, I hated it.)



Hated it? I frown and stare at the screen. Did she change her name? That would make a lot of sense.



AWalk90: You need to woo her. How many times did you go out with her? What did you guys do? You don’t need me. Just go with your heart. Surprise her. Give yourself a couple more days if you want to, but don’t blow your chance at a relationship that could last a lifetime because you’re scared.

JSpear84: Have you ever been scared of being with someone?

AWalk90: Terrified. In my 28 years, I have never felt so vulnerable. I don’t trust easily, but I let myself trust once.

JSpear84: How did that turn out?

AWalk90: Not sure. It might be great or not. It’s okay either way. You lose one battle, but learn how to deal and get ready for the next one. Though, I really think there was something between us.

AWalk90: Okay, you got me. It is just wishful thinking. It was good for a few days, but I think it’s over.

JSpear84: What’s going on?

AWalk90: If someone hasn’t called you in a week, is it over? I didn’t think about it until you just mentioned it.

AWalk90: Okay, as Laura said yesterday, I have to face the facts. I’ve been dumped.

AWalk90: I knew I came on too strong. Oh my gosh. It was because I told him I wasn’t ready…never mind you don’t need to hear about this.

JSpear84: It sounds interesting. Seems like I’m not the only one dating.

AWalk90: Leave me alone. You and I are just in a working relationship, let’s not forget that.

JSpear84: Let’s pretend for one moment that we’re friends. Did the guy you were dating ghost you?

AWalk90: Maybe.

AWalk90: I have no idea.

AWalk90: I mean … I had a meltdown. He got super upset, and I told him it was over. You remember the messages I sent you.

JSpear84: You feared he was abusive.

AWalk90: Yeah, but then he told me about his past and why his emotions were all over the place. And then... he kissed me. It was like no other kiss. For a moment, I wanted to do more but …I’m not ready.

JSpear84: That’s why you stopped answering his calls?

AWalk90: Do you think I should call him?

JSpear84: Did he call you and you forgot to call him back?

JSpear84: He said it’s over and you don’t remember?

AWalk90: Stop trying to guess. I’m not telling you what happened with him. How long does it take until I realize it’s over?

JSpear84: What’s his name?

AWalk90: Are you going to tell me your girl’s name? Are you going to send me a picture of yourself?

JSpear84: You’re requesting too much in exchange for a name. He could be a John, a David, or an Adam. I’m not asking for his last name. (Even though he has mine) He has one, right?

AWalk90: …

JSpear84: Is he John Smith?

AWalk90: What if I haven’t even asked him for his last name?

JSpear84: You don’t know the last name of the guy you’re dating.

AWalk90: Are you judging me?



I toss my hands up in the air and laugh. How is it that we went out on three dates and we never asked for more information? She has an inquiring mind that knows no boundaries. I don’t trust easily either. Why is it that we just went with the flow and never exchanged more than phone numbers?



JSpear84: Judging you hard. Why wouldn’t you ask for a simple last name?

AWalk90: We were too busy with other things that I haven’t thought to ask for it.

JSpear84: Who does that?

AWalk90: Stop judging me. You don’t understand.

JSpear84: I’m appalled. That’s so unlike you, Miss Walker, you’re losing your edge. I would expect you to know his social security number, address, how many girlfriends, wives or significant others he’s had. Even his medical history.

AWalk90: He flusters me. I know he’s divorced.

JSpear84: Somebody turned your brain upside down, and you can’t be yourself. He’s my hero.
