Chapter 1
I still couldn't believe it, and to be quite honest
with myself, I was bummed. After school, I had come back to the sorority house
where Becky, Desiree, and Selena all clustered into the larger apartment, our
"common area" for hanging out when we were all together. The other
two bedrooms were just too small. I had told them exactly what happened and how
Luke had reacted. I wasn't proud of feeling so let down because I was the first
one who had always assured myself that I didn't need a man in my life, let
alone one who could command my emotions. Nevertheless, Luke's behavior had
really thrown me for a loop. I felt humiliated, pissed off, and most of all,
hurt by his callous reaction.
"Guys are jerks," Becky commented, shaking
her head.
The others nodded in agreement. I just couldn't
understand it. "So, do you think all he was after was sex? And if so, why
go to all that trouble? A fancy restaurant, a private room, why? He could've
taken me to the movies or do a fast food restaurant, I didn't care," I
said.
"There's no getting around the fact that guys can
be pigs," Selena added to Becky's negative comments on men. "I can't
tell you how many times I've been treated this way after giving a guy
sex."
I looked at the girls, confused. "But you know
me, I'm not even after sex. I'm not denying that it wasn't great, but I just
don't get the attitude. He was so nice, so considerate," I said, then made
a face. I sounded incredibly lame, even to myself.
"Don't beat yourself up over it," Desiree
urged. "There's more than one fish in the sea, you know."
"That's not the point," I said. "It was
a first date, for crying out loud! I wasn't putting any demands on the
relationship. And to be quite honest, a guy with Luke's good looks certainly
shouldn't have any trouble finding girls, but why me?"
"I reiterate, guys can be a pain the ass,"
Selena repeated.
She placed a comforting hand on my arm, but it didn't
help. "Was I just another challenge, another conquest?" I shook my
head. "Now I feel even more stupid. I certainly wasn't hard to get, was I?
In fact, if it was a challenge he was looking for, I certainly didn't give him
any resistance. God, what a fool I am." I fought back my utter
disappointment in myself while at the same time struggling with my fury for
Luke. "I feel like an idiot, especially when I know better. We've all been
hurt, I know that, but I just wasn't expecting it from Luke… Then again, I
didn't know what to expect. Still, I thought we had a great time, that we had
made a connection. But the night just happened and the sex part was
unplanned…at least, it was on my part. Maybe not from his perspective."
Selena stood. "Come on, you guys. Let's go
someplace tonight and cheer ourselves up. Hopefully, we can meet some new
guys."
The others agreed, but I wasn't so sure. I had already
been bitten once, and I had no desire to go through this again. I had learned
my lesson. No guy was going to have his way with me like that and expect me to
do it again. I wasn't the type to meet a guy and sleep with him on the first
date, and yet I had done just that with Luke. I had let down my barriers. I had
been so stricken by the fact that someone as good-looking as him had picked
