"You're on your own dear,"Sherl remarked after Melissa hung up.
"Excuse me?"
"I'm outta here in fifteen. I'm going to AJ's."
"Sherl please."
"Bit of advice."
"Yes?"
"I have condoms in my dresser drawer. Play it safe."
"You think it's gonna happen again?"
"You were the one that thought it was so great the other day. Missy, I love you like a sister this is why I'm telling you this girl. Grab the brass ring on the carousel and dance in the rain because you only have one life to live."
"You sound like a greeting card."
"You're husband cheated on you and you're willing to give up another roll in the hay because you think a piece of paper bound you together? It's emotions and feelings that bind people together not that little piece of paper they make you sign to make it all legal and shit."
"True."
"Did he ever say he loved you or did he just want an ornament of a wife and say all the right things?"
"Sherl!"
"I'm being honest and I'm gonna be late. I can't tell you what to do but I'm beginning to think Nick's a better choice for you than Howie ever was."
"Because he's great in bed? Shit! I don't even know that. It was just a fuck."
"Feels good doesn't it? You've got so much more going with Nick than just the sex and you know it. You're just afraid to feel it."
"Do you blame me?"
"Do you realize what you did the other day? You used a man the way they've been using us since the beginning of time. Was Howie the only man you ever slept with in your life?"
She gave Sherl a knowing glance.
"Oh Jesus Mis. The only one?"
"I had my fair share of make out sessions but he's the only one I've ever been with."
"And not very much at that I take it."
"What do you think?"she sarcastically remarked.
"So Nick's kinda like this exploratory project for you then."
"You are bad."
"It's the truth. He's not my type but he must have something you like."
"I guess so or I wouldn't be so torn about the whole subject. What about Howie though?"
"If I were you 'Lis, I'd get on that as soon as possible but enjoy what you've got right now. He's obviously got the hots for you."The doorbell interrupted their conversation."How do I look?"
"Gorgeous as always. I'll see you when?"
"Don't wait up,"she winked."Nick,"Sherl greeted.
"Hey. I'm sorry about the other afternoon in the pool. I don't know what I was thinking."
"Dont' worry about it. See ya later. She's in the living room."
