THE BRUNCH

Colby and I couldn’t get out of bed quick enough and race down to the brunch. Not only were we dying for carbs to soak up all the booze from the night before, but we were also dying to find out how Alex’s night really “ended!”

I threw on my Juicy suit quicker than Colby could put on his sox.

“U Ready?”
“Yup!”
Great, let’s go. I need coffee and food, BAD!

Quite to our surprise, Alex and Jordan were already at brunch, laughing and feasting away. I didn’t know whose plate was fuller! Colby and I looked at each other, smirked, and in our under-breath voices murmured, “Guess those two woke up with quite the appetites!” We wondered, did all the arguing lead to them having a make up and hook up ending? Hmmm…..

We made our plates and joined them at the table. I sat next to Alex, and my nephew and the boys sat on the opposite side.

“So, guess you’re back to ‘speaking’ and voices and smiles instead of bitterness.” Alex and Jordan both glanced at each other--yes, the problem was resolved prior to our “nite, nites!” Alex kicked me hard under the table and pushed her hand into my leg. YUP, that was the sign I needed and was waiting for…THEY HOOKED UP! I looked at Colby and smirked and gave him a quick nod with my head to settle his curiosity; he smiled back. To say the least, it was definitely an interesting brunch!

After we all stuffed our faces and popped some Advil, we hung in the lobby to say all our “good byes” to all of the out of town guests. The boys went off to catch a glimpse of the Pats game, and I was about to have the “talk” with Alex to find out in DETAIL how the night really ended.

Men, let me clue you in. MOST women talk like most of you MEN! However, always know when it comes to sisters or best girlfriends, they will ALWAYS confide in each other. Word to the wise, be careful who you tell what to, because even though you may THINK someone will keep their mouth shut, sometimes unforeseen repercussions may happen. Being that Alex was my sister, telling me wasn’t going to be an issue!

“So? Do tell sista!”
“Well, we argued a little more, sat in 10 minutes of silence while we both got changed in to our jamies, and washed up and brushed, and then I sparked a J which broke the tension and silence. Jordan kept apologizing and admitting he was wrong and said even though we fought, he was happy he got to be my date and was extremely sorry. “Then, we both were ravenous and thirsty, so we picked up and dialed room service for burgers and water!

“After we stuffed our faces, laughed and gossiped a little about the party and some of the guest’s outrageous outfits, we hit the King-sized bed. Needless to say, he’s a great kisser and very cuddly.”

“Alex, SHUT UP. Did you or did you not do the deed? I want to know. NOW, YES OR NO? I could care less if you two spoon well together, how was the SEX?”

She screamed and turned blushing red, “IT WAS OUTSTANDING, and I slept like a baby afterwards.”

Haha, we both started to laugh! “Good, Good for you. You were WAY overdue! And we both know that having sex with a friend usually makes for a great night!”

That night between Alex and Jordan was never discussed or brought up again. No real relationship ever came other than several long weeks of not seeing or hearing from Jordan. After about a month of not speaking, which was starting to bother Alex more and more, she kept wondering if he was weirded out or may think they can’t go back to the way things were before they slept together. Alex decided that she had nothing to lose, so she shot Jordan a “what’s up” email. This started their dialogue again, which made her happy.

October 12th came and went, along with their night that got buried at the Copley Fairmont. Months and years have gone by, and each now has moved on to new relationships and endeavors, but they’re still friends today.

Why though, when friends sometimes end up hooking up, whether once or several times, and nothing more becomes of it, why isn’t what happened discussed ever again? Is leaving it alone with the possibility of asking yourself, WHY, and leaving your mind to wonder a good thing? If you can be intimate together, then why doesn’t something more get entertained? Or, does it just all revert back to maybe you two are just in lust and only sexually compatible? Or, is the real reason, that you are just scared to take that next step?

As the years go on, there may be days that pass by when you ask yourself, why didn’t you mention anything back then? Could it have been more, and you lost your chance by not taking that risk and throwing it out there for discussion? Looking back, maybe that person was your perfect mate, and because you let your timidness stand in your way for whatever reason you had, you now sit, still single and with unanswered questions and probably will never know his or her real thoughts. Is taking a risk and possibly being rejected such a bad thing when you really had nothing to begin with? In the end, I guess if you have unanswered questions, which aren’t much, as we know feelings really don’t know right from wrong, then I suppose there really isn’t anything to lose by having the chat and finding out the truth.
