back.
"Ok fine. So look, one of my friends was asking about you," Mary said.
"Wait. What? Are you serious?" Colin wondered.
"Of course," Mary admitted.
"Is she here?" Colin asked.
"Yeah. She's right over on the dance floor," Mary said.
How did Colin miss a single woman at the wedding? He thought he'd covered all the bases. But clearly he missed someone. Maybe Colin's luck was finally turning around after all.
"What's she like?" Colin wondered.
"Well, she's very pretty. She's a chef. She's amazing smart. She likes hiking and doing yoga. Not to mention she has a great sense of humor," Mary explained.
"Do I know her?" Colin asked.
"Not yet," Mary said.
"Then how does she know about me?" Colin wondered.
"I pointed her out to you during the ceremony. Then as I started telling her about you, she said she wanted to meet you," Mary said. "You guys are going to get along great."
"We'll see about that," Colin replied.
"No, I'm serious. She's been having a hell of time trying to find the right guy. She went through this awful break up with her last boyfriend, and has been trying to pick up the pieces. Does that sound like anyone you know?" Mary asked.
"No, not at all," Colin joked.
"So what do you say, do you want to meet her?" Mary asked.
Colin finally caught a break. He was excited to see what Mary's friend was like. But he also remained cautiously optimistic. He'd found that sometimes women had a tendency to oversell their friends. Beautiful sometimes ended up being cute. Smart ended up being average. And very funny had a tendency of being mildly amusing.
Colin hoped that Mary was right though. After so much of Colin's life seemed to be about getting things done the hard way, an easy re-entry into the dating scene would be awesome. But Colin's excitement proved to be short lived. As Mary spotted her friend Teresa on the dance floor, she realized that Teresa was no longer alone.
While Mary was talking with Colin, Teresa had decided to get busy on the dance floor. So just as Mary was about to point Teresa out, Colin was in for the surprise of his life. It turned out that Teresa was just as pretty as Mary had advertised. But it also turned out that Teresa was suddenly totally accounted for.
Mary and Colin watched from the buffet table as Teresa put her tongue in a strangers mouth on the dance floor. Teresa and the stranger were grinding up on each other as frisky as could be. Then the stranger started putting his hands all over Teresa, and she ate it right up. Things were sure getting graphic in a hurry.
Mary and Colin meanwhile just stood on the side with their jaws hanging open.
"She's not usually like this," Mary said.
"Uh huh," Colin replied, in disbelief.
"She has had a lot to drink tonight though," Mary said.
"You think?" Colin joked.
And like that, Colin's bubble burst.
Chapter Eight
Julie
Things didn't get better for Julie when she went grocery shopping the next day.
"Todd Smith, look at you," Julie said.
Julie felt like she was at a school reunion all of a sudden. Everywhere Julie went, she seemed to run into a guy from her past. And Todd was no different.
Julie and Todd dated back in high school. Todd was the first bad boy that Julie ever met. Back in high school, he used to have long hair, a tattoo, a leather jacket, zero interest in going to class, and drove a motorcycle. It was so cliché that Julie was almost ashamed that she fell for it.
Their entire relationship seemed to consist of making out under the bleachers any chance they could get. But what Julie didn't realize at the time was their relationship was doomed from the start. Guys like Todd weren't interested in serious relationships. They were practically allergic to commitment. So when Julie refused to go all the way with Todd, he moved on to an easier lay. At the time, Julie was
