That same evening, Kelsey cornered both her roommates the
second they arrived at home. “Well?” she
demanded with a glare, “I think both of you have some explaining to do.” Caitlin and Aislinn both looked guilty, but
rather unrepentant.
“We’re sorry,” Aislinn apologized, “but it had to happen.
You needed to talk to him.”
“Hopefully,” Caitlin added, “you talked it out and
everything is good now?” The statement, phrased as a question, defused Kelsey’s
anger. She knew that they were just
looking out for her in their own special way.
She sighed and replied,
“I think that it may have done more harm than good,
actually.” Both of her roommates looked
concerned and more than a little confused.
Explaining the confrontation to them helped Kelsey address it, but it
was still unpleasant.
“Both of you are just so stubborn!” Caitlin said in
exasperation. “Why can’t you both just
communicate how you feel in a rational manner?”
Aislinn looked as if she agreed, however she was much too nice to say it
to Kelsey’s face. As annoyed as she
wanted to be at their meddling, she knew that they were right. She needed to talk to him at some point if
they were to move forward. However, that
talk was going to be on her own time, and she said as much to her
roommates. Both of them agreed that she
should be in control as this whole mess was his fault. Aislinn suggested,
“Why don’t you send him a text, telling him a time and place
to meet you?” Kelsey shook her head, a
devilish look in her eyes.
“That’s far too easy for him. If he wants this to work out, he needs to put
in a lot of effort. He has to win me
back.”
“How do you expect him to do that?” Caitlin asked, her eyes
lighting up.
“Well,” Kelsey responded, “you two have been communicating
with him, correct?” As she unfolded her
plan to them, both girls began to smile.
