![]() Cake: A Love Story
-- -- EXCERPT: -Banter- I gave an apologetic look. “I know. Sorry. You intimidate me. I mean, it would take no effort on your part to get with pretty much any girl at this wedding.” Jake didn’t refute my claim – probably because he knew it was true. In fact, he was actually giving what I said quite a bit of thought. What was I getting myself into? Finally, he sighed, and said, “Sometimes having sex just isn’t worth the consequences.” “What does that mean?” “It means that with sex comes expectations.” I waited for him to explain his comment, and when he didn’t I said, “And?” Jake exhaled dramatically, as if he were expected to explain himself to a child. “If I’m going to have meaningless sex with someone, I need a quick exit strategy; otherwise she’s going to want to follow me around – or worse, talk. In a setting like this, there’s no way to disappear after getting it on, so sex wouldn’t be worth the consequences… get it?” “Wow, you’ve really given this a lot of thought.” He nodded in agreement. “I’ve learned from experience.” “I’m sure you have. So, then, I guess it’s a good thing we aren’t going to have meaningless sex tonight.” I laughed. “Because I would definitely be following you around trying to talk to you.” “I know. You’d be the worst.” ![]()
