How was your day, Dan?: AG Comes Over Again

AG Comes Over Again:

(One night AG and I were lying in bed, staring at the ceiling as usual. All of the sudden, he spoke.)

"I gotta go."

Okay.

(he didn't move)

Where are you going?

"Out."

Oh.

(pause..still didn't move)

Who are you going out with?

"This girl."

(pause)

What girl?

"Just this girl."

Where are you going?

"Dinner and stuff."

Cool.

(pause)

Is she your girlfriend?

(he picked up his hand from where it rested on my leg, and did the "so-so" swivel motion; he didn't speak)

Ah.

"It's no big deal."

Okay.

"What?"

What what?

"What do you mean 'Okay'?"

Nothing.

"Oh."

(pause)

How long have you been together?

"A few weeks."

Have you had sex with her yet?

"Once."

Did you like it?

"It was alright."

(pause)

"Have you ever had sex with a girl?"

No.

"Really?"

I tried a few times but it never quite worked.

(he chuckled)

"I should go."

Okay.

(he didn't move)

"Actually I have about ten minutes."

Do you have to go home and get changed?

"No, I'll just go from here."

You can take a shower or whatever.

"That's cool."

(pause)

"Have you had sex with anyone since I came over last time?"

(I lied.) No.

"Me neither."

Except for your girlfriend.

"Well yeah."

That counts.

"Yeah, I guess."

(why did I lie?)

"Okay, I have to go in about nine minutes."

Why do you keep counting down?

"Because I want to do it again."

(I turned my head to face him)

Do what?

"You know."

Ah."
