The Break up; the hook up

Yes, I dumped him. I’m evil. I know it. I did it by text message. He was trying to convince me to stay. He said that sex wasn’t that important. Not important! I was like a freakin’ virgin, and a stressed out crazed lunatic. Yes, I was.

Last Saturday night I went out with some of my friends. It was my friend Cindy’s birthday, who I have known since high school. Cindy happens to be a lesbian so logically we went to a to a lesbian bar called Henrietta Hudsons. Henrietta Hudsons or “Hens” is a rocker chick bar on Hudson, not too far from where Frankie and I live in Chelsea. On Saturday nights Hens can get pretty wild and packed.

I was buying my friend Cindy a dance from a go-go dancer (who was dancing on the bar) when out of nowhere this attractive girl with a blond boycut offered to buy me a beer.

“Thanks, but that I have a boyfriend,” I said.

“It’s ok. I’m not here with anyone, and you have a friendly face. Come on. Let me buy you one,”she said.

“All right, it’s up to you. What’s your name?” I asked.

“Elizabeth. Yours?”

“Ruby.”

Elizabeth is 29 and an investment banker. She had recently broken up with her girlfriend because her girlfriend was cheating on her. She was having a hard time meeting Ms. Right. I was having a hard time not finding her attractive and the fact that she looked very similar to a pretty boy did not help matters. I kept silently reminding myself that I had plans to meet Limp dick early on Sunday and was not into girls. Cindy knew better and pulled me over to the side.

“Hey,” said Cindy. “So you’re doing pretty well, Ms. Chatty. Do you miss it? She’s cute. “

“Cin. I haven’t been with a girl since you in high school. Seriously, I don’t know. She is cute though.”

“Ruby, you’re not that into Limp dick so why not? You want to end things anyway. Right?” Cindy asked.

“I guess. I don’t know.”

Well, as you’ve probably guessed I did wind up hooking up with Elizabeth. It was fantastic. The next morning I sent Limp dick a text message: It’s been fun, but I want more. Goodbye. -Ruby
