My sister invited me out. It was Joby’s birthday and they were having a thing over at Dave and Busters, an arcade/bar/restaurant set up. It was pretty uncomfortable for awhile. Though as soon as my sister left and I was left alone, this girl Melissa came over and started talking to me. We started talking about a lot of things. Typical things like school and our living arrangements. Then we started talking about relationships and I just threw out the “Oh my ex, well he…” She ended up leaving ahead of us but said that we should exchange numbers. Which we did but I don’t have any intentions of calling her though the only motivation would be that she mentioned that she had friends who I would probably love to meet. Guy friends maybe. Who knows?
When we were over at my sister’s boyfriend’s house, she got up to change out of her dress and he and I were talking about gay couples and the whole dynamics (“Two masculine men? I’ve never seen one of those couples.”). I wanted to chime in and talk about my own personal experience but hesitated. I was so close in outing myself to him but my sister walked back in. But I said forget it. If I were to tell him, I’m sure it would somehow get back to my sister. And while it would be easier to go down the whole fuck what you think route I just don’t want her or my family in on it. Initially it was out of fear, but now it’s more of privacy. It’s my business and I don’t feel like they need to be in on it.
