FIVE DRINKS LATER
"That's true," she said. "We do..." She'd admit to having fun with Roy. Because Roy was...Roy and he was a good time. And eventually she about why they weren't dating. And Jennie found that she was veryhad worked past the fact that when they first met he tried to jam his tongue down her throat all uninvited and the like. But that just meant he was eternally friend-zoned until now he had her thinking confounded by this.
Had she not given Roy a fair shake? In her daily life Jen tried to be nonjudgmental How could she be? She was green. She was about as nonjudgmental as they came. So, Roy's past, really, was a non-factor for her. She didn't frankly give a shit. Well, yes and no, she was glad he had cleaned up his act, but didn't judge him for his more questionable life choices. It was his life, not hers. She could only make decisions for herself. And besides it was just before she knew him, that all of that took place.
What was it about Roy, then, that made her put him in this neat little category that just said no, off limits?
Jen was also fairly drunk, too, at this point so none of those good reasons about family and friends were jumping out at her. But instead all of the bad reasons why this was a good idea immediately moved to the forefront of her mind. And how bad decisions could sometimes really be good decisions especially in between the sheets, which was what Jen was was now thinking about.
"He did, didn't he? I dunno, do you want to date?" She asked again, giving a little more credence to Roy's inquiry now.
