The other night MALCOM & I hung out and somehow we ended up discussing her. MALCOM told me a few facts about the breakup and how things had been going since, that he feels good about moving forward, and then it slipped right out of his mouth:
He went on to say a few other things without skipping a beat. He may not have heard himself say it. Then a few sentences later he did it again:
Then he stopped looking me in the eye. I pretended I didn’t hear it - Just continued the conversation, eventually left his place, and have not called him since. I ran into him last night, and the guilt between us was palpable, yet neither apologized. We hugged and had some friendly small talk, and then I avoided him most of the evening. When he asked if he could take me home at the end of the night I said no, but I let him give me a goodbye kiss that lasted longer than one between friends should.
