No Control

After I stop at Caroline’s room, I go to my own room for a bit before I need to head to the venue. I decide to call my friend Sara. She’s the one person I know I can trust to keep a secret. I explain my situation with Liam. “Well I’ve never done that, but I had a friend in college who was in a friends with benefits situation.” She tells me before continuing. “She used to tell me all about it but her’s was more clinical. I mean she never spent the night with him. They’d get together for sex and that was it.”
“Doesn’t sound very satisfying.” I say.
“Well I guess it worked for them. Just be careful Liz that you don’t get too emotionally attached. I don’t want you to get hurt.” Sara replies.
“We are just having fun Sara.” I tell her. I hear her audible sigh over the phone. “What?” I ask.
“It’s just that some of the things you’ve said sounds like more than friendship to me. Like staying all night with him, him washing your hair, and him saying he misses you. Sounds more like a relationship to me.” Sara says matter of factly.
“No Sara. It’s fine. Neither of us is looking for a relationship. I appreciate your concern but I’m good.” I tell her.
“Ok, well I’m here anytime if you need me. Good or bad.” She says.
“Thanks for listening Sara. I’ll talk to you soon.”
