The Other Side

Chapter Nine

Subject: Hey there, sexy!

Toby,
Hey. It was good talking to you the other night. Thanks for the call.

So what’s up with this Chase guy? What’s his story? You know I like to check out your bfs.

Sounds like your job is pretty high pressure. I’m sure you’ll make the grade. HP is pretty laid back. Guess I’m lucky.

How are the clubs there? Pretty great I suppose. Austin has a decent gay scene. More dance clubs than I expected. I had visions of nothing but line dancing. The Forum is a pretty cool club. You should fly down here for a weekend and let me take you around. Maybe you could help me make Cole jealous.

Wow, that doesn’t sound like me, does it? Ever know me to care if someone was jealous? Damn, I need to get a grip. But Cole is some beauty. I think if he would play the game the way it’s suppose to go, you know, follow me around like a lost puppy, then I wouldn’t give him a second glance. Well, maybe. But as it is he acts interested, then blows me off (and not in a good way). He’s driving me crazy, Toby.

Okay, I better shut up or you’ll think I’m ready for a padded cell.

Later
Seth

Subject: The Hamptons Rock

Have I mentioned lately how much I love NY? Jason and I had the best time in the Hamptons. I swear I saw Jerry Seinfeld walking his dog. How cool is that? But really, I spent a good part of the weekend with my legs pointing north.

Seriously, it was one of the most romantic weekends a girl could ask for. I won’t bore you with the details as I know you abhor that sort of thing, but let’s just say Jason totally made up for working late every single night last week.

So how is Austin? Did you see Cole this weekend? Please don’t tell me you stayed home. You are starting to worry me, Seth. Where’s my “use ‘em and leave ‘em by the wayside” guy? Am I going to have to come down there?

Yeah, that’s an idea. Why don’t you come see me? Check out the NY nightlife. Surely there would be something here that would interest you.

So, speaking of “love ‘em and leave ‘em” there’s this little hottie that lives on my floor. So far it’s just flirting in the hall, but I don’t know, I think I feel some sparks. But the fact that he lives in my building tells me he’s not someone I’d be interested in. At least not for anything more than a fuck. I mean, if he can’t afford more than this dump, he certainly can’t afford me. Still might be worth a roll in the hay.

Any news from Toby? I left him a message to call me but haven’t heard back from him yet. Hopefully you have.

Talk soon

Hey Seth,
I’d love to come see you but I have no idea when I’d be able to. And yeah, my job is high pressure, but I’m really enjoying it and I’m starting to get noticed.
Chase is great. I’m sure you’d like him.
Gotta run

Subject: Are you insane?

Sam,
Why would you want to chase after some loser next door when you’re dating a lawyer? I thought you said he was good in bed.

So you’re willing to trade in a weekend in the Hamptons for sitting in a crappy apartment eating take out and watching TV? You should rethink things, seriously.

I got a phone call from Toby. Well actually I ambushed him at work. Called information, got the number for DOA and managed to get transferred to his office without much trouble. Made him promise to call me. He did a couple nights later, but really Sam, I’m worried about him. I think this Chase is bad news.

I ran into Cole the other night. He asked for my phone number. What’s up with that?
Gotta run

Okay, who are you and what have you done with Seth?

Since when do you tell me to pass up sex in lieu of a relationship? My Seth would have said “go for it, what are you waiting for?”

The Seth I knew never gave out his phone number, much less fretted over what the guy meant by asking for it.

So who are you?

It’s me. Really.

Maybe I’m homesick for Green Bay. Or maybe I’ve finally lost my mind.

Toby

Hey, I was thinking I might fly up and see you this weekend.

I’d love to see the city and to be honest I could use a break from Austin. (yeah, I know)

So, what do you say?

Why don’t you hold off for a couple of months?

I’d love to show you the city, hell, I’d love to see it myself. But really, it’s just not going to work right now.

Sorry. Hope you’re not pissed

No need to worry. I’m fine. Really.

“Something’s up, Sam. I’m telling you he is totally blowing me off,” Seth had called her after receiving Toby’s last email. “I have half a mind to go any way. Show up and surprise him.”

“There is no way Toby is blowing you off, Seth. He worships the ground you walk on and has since the day he met you.”

“He’s changed, Sam. He’s not the same Toby we knew in Green Bay.”

“I think you’re the one that’s changed. Toby’s just spreading his wings, adjusting to his new life out there. I’m sure everything’s fine. If you want to get away for the weekend why don’t you come up here?”

“You don’t get it, Sam. Toby is in over his head.”

“You don’t really think that.”

Seth sighed. “Yeah, I do, Sam. I really do.”
