Story: Lesbian CEO
Once she’s stripped down to her underwear and wrapped in a blanket, I let her talk.
“I was wrong,” she says again.
“About?”
“I know you didn’t start that rumor about me.”
“Okay.”
“But it’s true.”
I pause. She’s never said it. I had a suspicion, but I couldn’t be sure if it was true.
“It’s true?”
“I was mad at you. I was hurting. I dated other people, but I still couldn’t get you out of my head. You wrecked me, Toni. I was going to propose to you that night.”
My heart feels like it’s going to explode or burst, but not in a good way.
“You were?”
“I had the ring and everything.”
It takes all of my self-control not to laugh.
“Me too,” I tell her.
“What?”
“I also had a ring. I was going to propose to you at dinner.”
“You’re joking.”
“Wish I was.”
“I didn’t give you a chance,” she says. “I was hurt that you pushed me away instead of talking to me. I thought you were ghosting me, but then I found out later your parents both died.”
“It was a hard time,” I agree.
“You were going through all of that alone.”
“I was.”
“And here I was, planning to try to destroy the one thing you had going for you.”
“What was your evil plan, exactly?”
“You know,” she says, blinking. “I was going to buy your company and stuff.”
“And what? Dissolve it?”
“Well, no.”
I shake my head. “Some villain you are. You were just going to buy my company and make it better.”
“Well, no.”
“That’s what you do, Jessica. You find things and you make them better. That’s what you did with me, isn’t it?”
