Jeremy does something out of character, will it pay off? By PaulStevens. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. It had been another typical Friday evening on the train for Jeremy. He was glad to see the week at last come to an end, not to mention he was looking forward to meeting with his buddies, once this infernal train finally reached his stop. “Only six stops to go,” he reminded himself, as both time and the train seemed to crawl along. The train was better than driving from his far suburb to the downtown, and back each day. He knew it was far faster too, but still some days that hour seemed so much longer, and this was one of them. He looked longingly up, through the open center grids; at the fully occupied seats on the upper deck; from the lower deck seat which he had begrudgingly taken. He usually rode up there, mostly because it, allowed him more space than the lower deck benches did. Jeremy was a very tall guy, and cramming himself into a lower deck seat for an hour was not his idea of fun. Nor was it adding to his mood. He continued looking longingly up at those seats as the train slowed to a halt again, driving his knees into the bench in front of him. As he silently cursed it, he saw commotion above, as young woman scrambled down the tight spiral steps, to leave the train, her stop seemingly having snuck up on her. Jeremy smiled. He knew why she was in such a rush. He had noticed her earlier, napping a bit, in her seat. He suspected, if not for the jolt of the train, she would have missed her stop completely. The door opened and passengers filed out. Jeremy looked back at the upper row as it recovered from the commotion to see how many others had gotten off up there, and whether he should ponder heading up. No luck, but it was then he spotted it. Right where the young lady had descended the steps, was a monthly pass. A pass he remembered seeing her put there. Having once lost one of those before, he sprang to action and picked it up. He flipped it over, hoping it had a name and number, so the conductor could get it back to her. No luck. So, seeing the passengers still filing out, he made a flash decision and quickly made his way toward the exit. Pushing through the vestibule door and down to the platform he frantically searched for the woman. Now ordinarily this would have been extremely reckless, as finding one person in the crowd that got off at this stop would have been near on impossible, except that, though he tried not to admit it; he had been admiring this particular passenger since the train had left downtown Chicago. That was how he knew she had the pass, and it was also why he was sure he could find her in this crowd. The biggest thing working in his favor was height. Both his, being nearly seven feet tall; it made it easy to find people. And hers, as he was sure she had to be close to six feet herself. It did not take long before he found the mane of light chestnut brown hair hovering above the crowd. He made his way towards her, hoping to reach her before she reached her car. His hopes of getting back onto the train were long gone. He had seen the crowd and heard the chimes that signaled the doors were closing. As the crowd reached the parking lot, it fanned out and Jeremy was able to speed up, but unfortunately so had his quarry. Both had long legs and he could tell she was in a hurry. Still, slowed by the crowd Jeremy watched her get farther away and just hoped he didn’t lose her, otherwise this gesture would not only be incredibly stupid, but incredibly useless as well. He was pleased to see that she walked past the parking lot and kept walking toward nearby apartment buildings. “A walker,” he thought to himself. Fortune, it seemed, had smiled on him. She was still moving quickly, but knowing he had more time, Jeremy waited to clear the crowd before putting on speed to catch up to her. As he quickened his pursuit of her, a small part of his brain acknowledged that this might make the woman nervous, if she were paying attention. After all he was a strange man. This certainly was not his stop, and now he seemed to be deliberately following her, which he was of course. Not for any sinister reason, but she had no way of knowing that. This was where being a big guy worked against him. In a lot of cases, it kept him out of fights he didn’t want, but it also made him unnecessarily scary to strangers. ‘You take the good with the bad,’ he thought. He reminded himself of every time his size put him in a bad spot. And it did with surprising frequency. However, his query was no five-foot-nothing-ninety-pound gymnast. She was definitely over six feet tall and was definitely not overly thin. She wasn’t overweight either, but she had a happy medium working. She was a big girl and he could tell she could take care of herself. She had the shoulders of a fashion model, and the proportions to model swimwear. Still afraid of losing her, he sped up; but tried not to look too creepy. ‘Yeah, like I know how to not be creepy,’ he thought to himself. He was deep into an inner discussion of how he could not be creepy when the woman, to his extreme surprise; turned to face him. “What do you want?” she asked in frustration. Lost in his thoughts, he had not noticed she had slowed and he had nearly caught up to her. “It’s obviously not to rob or rape me, or you would have done it already! And please don’t tell me you live around here because you don’t! I know my neighbors and you ain’t one, buddy. You’ve been following me since the train, and don’t think I didn’t catch you looking at me on the train. I admit it was flattering, but this is getting creepy. I’ve had a hell of a day, an even worse week, and things don’t look much better for the next few,” she said, looking extremely irritated. Jeremy digested the information and gathering his thoughts, held up her train pass and said; “You, ah, left this on the train. Sorry to bother you. It seems you’ve had a rough week. It’s just I’ve misplaced one of those myself, and I know what a hassle they can be to replace. So here.” He handed her the pass and said, “I’ll be heading back to the station now. You’re right, this wasn’t my stop. I’m another five or six down the line, depending on the train.” “Well, that was mighty stupid of you,” she said bluntly. Before she could finish, Jeremy just shrugged and turned his way back toward the station when she grabbed his hand. “I’m sorry,” she said in a much kinder tone. “That was rude of me. Thank you very much. That was really nice of you. It really has been a rough week. It’s funny; you spend enough time getting dirt kicked in your face you almost forget what kindness is.” She then took a new look at him. She seemed to get an idea and smiled. “You got any plans tonight?” “Not really. And if I did, my now several hour commute wiped any hope of getting to them. Why do you ask?” “Sorry about that,” she said, very sincerely and looking a bit remorseful, before answering his question. “Well, because I’d like to take you to dinner, to say thanks, I mean.” She added the last part a little too quickly, and held up the pass to show why. She then added, “There’s this nice new place I’ve been dying to try, but I haven’t had the time, or anyone to go with.” He smiled, “That’d be nice, thanks.” He then asked, “This is going to sound odd but do you mind if we stop by your place first, if it’s nearby? I really don’t want to take my work bag into a restaurant, if I can help it. Especially if it’s a nice place,” Jeremy said, pointing to the bag he had somehow remembered to grab before sprinting off the train. “Actually that sounds like a good idea. I want to change a bit, too; if you don’t mind.” “Not at all, but I think you look very fine, as you are,” he said, commenting on the skirt and short sleeve top she wore. She gave an eye roll which while unspoken, clearly said a sarcastic ‘men’. “You’re sweet but these are my work clothes. I need to get in something a bit more comfortable. I don’t want to feel like I’m working. They walked the short distance to her building but she stopped him at her door. "Wait here, I wasn’t expecting anyone. I just want to straighten up.” Jeremy was about to protest, but the door had already closed. He waited a few minutes before the door opened. She said, “Come on in. Um, what was your name?” she asked bashfully, seemingly realizing she had just admitted a man whose name she did not know, into her apartment Jeremy smiled, “Jeremy, nice to meet you.  And you are?” he said, holding out his hand. “Alicia,” she replied with a smile while shaking his hand. “Well, make yourself at home Jeremy. I’ll only be a few minutes.” As Jeremy looked around the recently straightened apartment, he was glad to find it not overly girly. There were several feminine touches for sure, and it was clear a girl lived here, but not obviously so. He was really starting to like this girl, despite only just meeting her. Sure, their first exchange was rather tense, but that could hardly be helped given the circumstances. He felt thus far their meeting had gone rather well. He certainly preferred having dinner with her than his usual Friday with his friends, which usually involved going out for a movie or watching one at an apartment. Thinking about his friends reminded him, they still expected him to be out with them tonight. He sent them a quick message saying something came up and he couldn’t make it. That he would explain later. He knew they would understand. Not that he expected anything other than dinner, but still dinner with what he at least considered a pretty girl, was preferable to the usual, even if it only went that far. The way things were going though, even in his limited experience, he was ready for anything. He wondered if this would be a night to remember, all because of a forgotten train pass. He was smiling at that thought when Alicia at last emerged. She was wearing a causal light blue dress with her previously tied up hair hanging loose at her shoulders. The effect was magnificent “Wow,” he said out loud before he could help himself. She smiled. “Thanks, you ready to go?” she asked. He nodded and she led the way out of the apartment. When they were outside he asked, “So where to?” “It’s a block from the station, I figure we’d walk. It’s a nice evening after all.” “Fine with me.” They walked in silence for a bit, before he asked her about work, which she was not prone to talking about, so he asked her how long she had lived in the area. It turned out she was new to the area entirely, and had only been there a few months. She had uprooted for a job on State Street earlier that year. She found she really liked the area she lived in, though. When they got to the restaurant, it was relatively upscale. Not so much that they were under dressed, but enough that his usual Friday jeans and a polo shirt would have looked out of place. Fortunately he had needed to present something today so he had worn khakis and a black dress shirt. While they waited for a table, she asked him about how long he had lived in the area and his job. He explained he had lived there his whole life, and explained his job in computers for a big company, officing on Wabasha. She seemed fairly impressed with at least the latter. When they were seated, Alicia immediately ordered some wine and an appetizer. He smiled and she must have noticed, because she said, “What?” “Nothing, just interesting is all.” “Oh and how is that,” she asked suspiciously. “Well, either it has been a really tough week or you’re trying to get me drunk.” She giggled, “Well, a bit of both. I admit. But mostly the former. I’m also trying to run up the tab, as revenge.” Jeremy looked at her confused, and she added, “I’m going to use my boss’s card. I’ll explain later. That’s why the appetizer. Well, that and word is this place is good, but painfully slow and I’m starving.” “Hey, I have no problems with it. It just says a lot about you. None of it negative in my book, by the way.” “Like what?” “You know what you want, you’re confident, and a bit devious. All very sexy. Plus, I now know without a doubt you’re not one of those women that eats like a bird. Also very appealing, as I hate people like that. I understand it, but I hate it at the same time, you know?” “Oh, I know,” Alicia said relieved. “My boss, who’s treating us to this meal, is so like that. Skinny as a rail and she won’t eat a thing. I’m a big girl. Always have been. I make no excuses for it. I don’t go overboard either. Mind you, I try to watch my weight, but I need to eat when it’s time to eat.” “Yeah, I get that.” Then, after a pause he added; “But now you have to tell me about work after taking a shot at your boss. I’ve never had revenge dinner, and the wine to boot.” Alicia begrudgingly launched into the story about how she had moved, with promise of promotion in a few months. A promotion which had been pushed back. Then, this week she had learned that she wasn’t getting what she was promised, and that a new guy, who Alicia had no doubt had earned his spot with his head under the boss’s skirt; was getting it instead. So she had uprooted her whole life, moved away from her family, and spent six months being treated like an intern, all for a position she would never get. “And what’s worse,” she said several minutes later, “Is that my effing perfect cousin is marrying my ex-boyfriend and I have no date, and now no promotion to wave in their faces. I mean, how am I supposed to show my face at that thing now?” Jeremy suddenly understood why she was so upset when he had first met her. “Well, you seem like a good person, so I suspect things will work out. Right now, just take solace in the fact that you’re enjoying a nice dinner at a restaurant you’ve wanted to try. And you’re getting revenge by slapping your rich slut of a boss with the bill.” She smiled, and reaching across the table to take his hand she said, “Not to mention I have very nice company to share all of that with. Thank you for being so understanding. I’ve been quite bitchy tonight, and I’m sorry.” “Not at all, like you said you’ve had a few rough weeks. Now, other than your so called perfect cousin, who’s far from it in my book if she can date your ex like that.” “I know, right? Thank you for saying that. No one in my family seems to understand why I’m so upset about it. Then again, Jane has always gotten everything she wants. Even my own parents sided with her,” Alicia said, interrupting, then apologizing. Jeremy paused before saying, “That’s okay. I, uh, was going to ask about your family. But now I’m not sure I want to.” “No, that’s okay. Even if we’re having a small disagreement right now, I still love them. They’ll come around eventually. Frankly, Jane and Joe deserve each other. She is a self-centered bitch, only concerned with status and money. And he’s a rich pompous cheating asshole. They should get along just fine. I’m more angry that I fell for his lines, is all. I just wish I had something to shove in their faces. I had hoped for a date. But that wasn’t likely, as I had no time, so the promotion was my next best thing and now that’s gone. Anyway, you asked about my family.” Alicia explained she was a middle child with a brother that was married with two kids and a younger sister who was also married with one child and pregnant with her second. Both her parents were alive and lived in Colorado with the rest of her family. She said they all thought she was crazy to move from the mountain air, but Alicia decided she loved it here. When asked if she felt pressure because of her siblings, she said yes. But noted she was always more career driven. But she did want kids. She also pointed out she was only 26 and still had time before she had to worry about kids and stuff. When asked about his family, he told her about his two younger siblings; one, a brother just married, the other, a sister still in college. He told her of the flat-out pressure for grandkids was heavy on all of them, but especially him and his brother. He then noted that like her, he had plenty of time and wanted the right girl first. His parents understood, or at least seemed to. The dinner was very nice, as was the wine they had drunk. After dinner wrapped, he and Alicia walked back to her place, both to enjoy the air and so he could retrieve his bag. This time though they walked hand in hand. As he heard the click of her heeled shoes on the sidewalk he said, “You know, I was surprised when you said 'more comfortable’ that it involved heeled shoes.” “True, but it was a nice place. And let’s face it, I don’t get a lot of opportunity to wear them without feeling huge and unladylike. That’s nice at work when I need the power and confidence, but on a date? It just ruins it for me. It’s hard to feel sexy when you’re staring over your date’s head, no matter how sexy the shoes or your clothes. At least that’s my opinion.” He stopped her and pulled her to him in a light embrace and looking down into her light blue eyes that matched her dress he asked, “How about now Alicia, do you feel sexy and ladylike?” “Absolutely,” she purred. Before he could think what he was doing, he raised her chin, lowered his lips, and kissed her lightly. “Good, because you are a very beautiful and sexy lady. You should feel that way as much as possible, in my opinion.” She gave no response and just stood there dazed for a moment, and he released his embrace. After that they silently walked the rest of the way to her door. They still held hands, though, which he took as a good sign. She was silent until he entered her apartment. He had grabbed his bag and was about to say goodbye, when she asked for him to wait. “You; you really think I’m beautiful?” “Of course, you said I was staring at you on the train. Why else would I be doing that? Or chase after someone I barely know? I mean I’m a nice guy, and I’d like to think I would do that for anyone, but let’s be honest that decision wasn’t all made with my logical brain. Other urges were at work on that decision.” She giggled, knowing exactly what he was talking about. Then she smiled her devious smile and said, “In that case I need to ask you another favor, and I think you’ll like it.” “Okay, what is it?” “Well as I’ve mentioned I have a wedding soon. I want to wow people with my dress, kind of my silent revenge to my ex, you know.” Jeremy shook his head in disbelief marveling at things women would do after a bad break-up, to impress their ex. He then nodded his understanding. “So I asked several of my friends to help me pick out an outfit that’s girl approved but I don’t need girl sexy, I need guy sexy. I bought a few nice dresses to show off for the girls, but now I can’t decide which is sexiest, I need a guy’s opinion. Will you help?” Jeremy smiled, “Of course. It would be my honor to aid you in your quest, dear lady,” he said in his most chivalrous tone. She laughed, then clapped her hands in excitement, and hugged him before awkwardly stepping back and saying, “Right, so take a seat on the couch. I’ll pour you some wine, then be right out with the first option.” To add to the mood, she played some jazzy swing playlist on her home music system. The parade of several dresses then started. She showed off several of them while the wine flowed for both parties. However, in both of their opinions she saved the best for last. It was a dress the same color as the one she wore to dinner, but fancier, much more low cut, and very form-fitting. It displayed Alicia’s naturally flowing D cup tits. It also showed her generous curves off in such a way there was no doubt that it was the best selection. “But can I dance in it?” Alicia asked, turning on music and clearly under the influence of the wine. But then again so was Jeremy. “I don’t know, let’s find out,” he said standing up, “May I have this dance?” he asked. Michael Bublé & Laura Pausini were crooning ‘You’ll Never Find’, over the sound system. She of course accepted, and for the second time he felt her beautiful body pressed against his. It was also clear certain parts of him were pressed against her. “Well I can tell this dress definitely passes the sexy test, and the dance test too. This feels so wonderful, Jeremy. When I dance with you like this, I don’t care that I’m tall. I feel perfect next to you. I feel weird saying this but, I feel like the only girl in the world with you, even though I’ve just met you,” she said before burying her head in his shoulder. When the song stopped Jeremy again made his move and kissed her. This time, though, she kissed back. Soon the small kiss turned into a full make out. As he enjoyed the feel of her lips his hands began to roam, finding her breasts, hips and ass. She too roamed a bit, squeezing his ass and even making a move to reach his cock. He stopped, much to her dismay, and said, “I’d be a shame to mess up that dress Alicia and the way this is headed you’ll be sure to.” “You’re right,” she said, “What do you suggest?” she asked deviously. “Take it off, you brunette goddess, you.” She smiled at the compliment. “For you, of course, I thought you’d never ask,” She then turned and said, “Help unzip me.” He gave her a hand and in no time she stood in her bra and panties. To be fair he also removed his shirt and pants. They then resumed kissing and to his surprise she knelt in front of him and pulling down his boxers. She found that the big feet myth was true in his case. Jeremy wasn’t massive by any means, but he was certainly considered big, over 8 inches long and several inches thick. Alicia simply gasped and looking up at him smiled before taking the hard shaft in her mouth. Jeremy admired the blow job from above and basked in the feeling her mouth and tongue gave him. When she was at last finished he collapsed to the coach where she joined him, bathing him in kisses. She then rose and seductively stripped off her remaining clothes, first her bra revealing her big tits, and then her panties showing her neatly trimmed, dark-haired mound. He admired her body as she posed for him, his eyes traveling up her long legs that were nicely toned from her daily walk to and from work. His next admired the generous swell of her hips and as he did he could not help but notice the light reflect off her glistening wet pussy. She turned to give him a look at her ample, but not overly large ass before turning to face him again. His eyes continued up to her stomach which carried a bit of extra weight, but not grossly so, he was surprised to find this added to her appeal. His eyes next found her cantaloupe sized breasts that were capped with half dollar sized areolas and rock hard nipples that stood out proudly from the large mounds, showing her clear arousal. He tore his gaze away from her magnificent tits and past her shoulders to her face, admiring her cute nose and gorgeous light blue eyes. Even though she had just sucked him off he felt himself instantly go hard after he had taken her body in. He was surprised to find her still standing nervously in front of him. He smiled and said, “come here you sexy thing you, it’s my turn to give the gorgeous body of yours pleasure.” She smiled and immediately joined him on the couch rewarding his kind words with deep kisses. They made out naked on the couch for a while before he knelt in front of her and gave ample attention to her tits and pussy. He smiled as she came on his face thanks to his efforts. When she had recovered he led her to the bedroom and she giddily laid down and spread for him, but not before producing a condom from a bedside drawer. No sooner was the condom on then Jeremy’s cock was sliding into her inviting pussy. Due to their horniness he went at it hard and fast Alicia screaming for more and for once Jeremy did not hold back. Alicia was not some petite girl like some women he had fucked, she was a beautiful and very solid woman and she took everything he gave her and demanded more. Turned on by this Jeremy amazingly continued to find more energy as he fucked her. “Oh fuck me you giant big dicked stud you! Oh god it feels so good! Fuck me harder baby! Fuck me!” She yelled the last part as she came hard and shook in absolute pleasure. The combination of her screams of ecstasy and the clenching of her pussy proved too much and he came hard into the condom. “That…was…amazing,” Alicia said minutes later while cuddled up to Jeremy and still obviously catching her breath. “You too, you are a wild woman and I like it babe.” “Thanks, you ready for more? I’ll drive this time if you want.” “Of course, but you sure you’ll still feel like a woman, baby, even on top?’ He joked. "With your big cock in me I couldn’t feel any other way baby, I’m all woman and I’m going to make the man that made me feel this way feel real good.” “Oh, I like the sound of that!” Jeremy said. “Thought you would,” Alicia said with a smile before mounting him. She was mighty enthusiastic and fucked herself to a pair of orgasms before he finally came again. This time both were exhausted and as she collapsed he wrapped his arms around her and turned on his side and was pleased to feel her breathing shallow as sleep over took her. As sleep also overtook him he didn’t wonder what the future held for once. He just was content to bask in the feeling of great sex with a beautiful woman and enjoy the feeling of her sleeping against his body.Jeremy and Alicia make a deal. Jeremy awoke the next morning to someone talking on the phone. It took him a few seconds to remember where he was and why he was in a strange bed. As the events of the previous night came back to him he smiled. However, his joyful recollection was interrupted by a raised voice in the other room. “Mother, would you back off about that damn card already! It’s a fucking response card. I think they know I’m coming, and if I don’t why should they notice? It’s just poor Alicia the girl they used to get what they want.” There was a paused, then, “Well, how else am I supposed to take it Mom? My boyfriend dumps me for my spoiled cousin and everyone looks at me like I have three heads for being upset about it! God forbid Jane not get what she wants.” Alicia sighed and said in a resigned tone, “You know what, Mom, I’m not having this conversation again; if you choose to side with your niece over your own daughter, then maybe I’m better off not going at all.” There was another pause and then Alicia sighed and said, exasperated, “Of course you promised Aunt Carrie I’d come, and no, I don’t want to make you look bad. One question, though, Mother, if they already know I’m coming then why are they asking for the response card?” Alicia asked in a surprisingly calm tone. “A date, for me?” Alicia said then after a very long pause she said, “No mother, I don’t have time to find a date because believe it or not I work for a bitch who is even more spoiled and self-centered than Jane is.” There was another pause, “No Mom, no promotion, yes you’re right I should change jobs, no I’m not moving back,” she said seemingly flustered by the rush of questions for the other end. “Look Mom, I don’t want to discuss this now, I have a lot of work I need to do. I’ll send the card soon, I promise, and I’ll see you at the wedding.” She sighed and then said, “I love you too, Mom.” Jeremy heard the phone get turned off and Alicia let out a cry of frustration as she slammed it down, grumbling something he could not understand but he imagined referred to her mother, boss, cousin, or all three. Not wanting her to know he had overheard the conversation he slumped to the bed and pretended to be asleep, curious what Alicia’s next move would be. He was shaken awake and he opened his eyes to find her dressed in what he assumed were her workout clothes. He turned and went to pull her on the bed, but she resisted. “Look, Jeremy was it?” she said and he could tell she was purposely acting as if she did not know his name, but he nodded. “I want to work out and then I have a lot of work to do today so if you could get dressed and go I would appreciate it.” Jeremy looked at her confused and said, “Just like that? After last night?” She rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t get all girly on me. Don’t get me wrong last night was fun and I appreciate the help with the pass and with my dress, but I’ve got no time for anything serious right now. I work too much.” “For a woman whom you’re stealing from,” he thought, also recalling it was a Saturday and the fact that she had just last night told him how much she was going to enjoy vegging this week while the new guy struggled to do a job he was not qualified for. “Yeah really busy,” he thought to himself and smiled. She had to know he knew she was lying. Did she want him to call her on it? To call out her falsehood and demand she strip and spend the remainder of the morning in bed with him? He gave it a shot, “Okay, but its Saturday, can’t it wait a few more hours?” He then looked her in the eyes and said, “Come here and let’s give you a workout of a different sort and then since you treated me to dinner I’ll treat you to breakfast, or depending on how much of a workout we have, lunch.” She turned her gaze away from his but not before he saw the hint of longing in her eyes. Deep down they both knew she wanted nothing more than to do what he had just said, but something stronger overrode that urge and she said in a feeble tone, “I can’t, I have to work out…and I really have work to do.” She then left and as she walked away her voice got stronger, “So please get dressed and leave.” Jeremy understood and knew that pushing her would do no good. This was the doing of Joe and Jane; they had hurt Alicia and bad, more than even Alicia would probably admit. She too had enjoyed last night and had felt the same connection he had, but unlike him she was afraid of it. Joe had ripped her heart out of her chest and stomped it to pieces, with the help of a family member no less. The betrayal and pain Alicia must be feeling were too immense. This would take care and time, neither of which, it seemed, he had. Pressing this one would only cause more harm. He was all too familiar with this act she was pulling; he had done it himself using coldness and lame excuses to prevent himself from getting hurt. He always played it safe. He never took the crazy risk or let his emotions get the best of him, that is, until last night. He had let an impulse lead him to a sexy young woman and it had been the best night of his life. He definitely wanted to see her again, but he had a problem, she was about to shoo him out of her life for good. It was then he remembered that he too had a bit of a social bind; he smiled to himself and rose from the bed. If openness and understanding would be met with coldness he would play cold too. He would make a deal that would benefit them both in the short term and hopefully buy him the time he needed to soften her defenses. He put on only his underwear and walked out of the bedroom to find Alicia waiting impatiently. “Why aren’t you dressed? I really need to go.” “Because if I get dressed you’ll leave and I don’t want that until you’ve heard me out Alicia.” “There’s nothing to discuss as I said last night was…” “I’m not talking about last night.” He said cutting her off, “Which was amazing you’re right. No, I’m talking about a deal that I think will help us both. You need a date for your cousin’s wedding.” “I need no such thing!” Alicia interjected, but Jeremy waved her off. “Oh, no, not at all,” he said sarcastically, “Then that wasn’t your mom I woke to you screaming into the phone at. Face it Alicia you rolled the dice on a promotion and failed, so now the best thing you can do to save face is get a date on short notice, and given your height and preference of not being taller than your date, that doesn’t leave you with a lot of options. I think we proved last night you and I can certainly get along for an evening and wouldn’t it be better to have someone else along that isn’t on Jane’s side? Face it Alicia, you need me.” He then paused and said, “Besides we both know the reason that response card is not filled out is you were holding onto hope that you’d have someone to take with you. I’ve done it myself several times before finally breaking down and admitting I’m going to another wedding dateless.” Alicia gave no objection and looked a little sorry for him to his surprise.
