time being I'm not really looking, but thanks for the encouraging words."
                  I nodded, "That's what I'm good at. Encouragement." I replied smiling and looking out at the dance floor trying to find them.
                  "Wanna go dance?" Josh asked.
                  I smiled, feeling bold. "Sure."
                  He slid out of the booth and I followed as he led me out on the dance floor.
     
     
                  The night was winding down to a close, Mike and Ashley had gone home while Josh and I stayed and had an amazing night. While we were in the cab we decided to have an impromptu photo session together.
                  "We should do this again," He said after we stopped laughing.
                  I nodded. "Yeah, we should. I had an awesome time tonight, didn't think Mike and Ashley were gonna disappear, but oh well."
                  "Buzzkill's."
                  I laughed, "I know right?!" My brain was swimming, and I knew I was drunker than I had ever intended on being.
                  "Hey. Can I get your phone number? That way we don't have to go through Mike or Ashley if and when we hang out together."
                  I bit the corner of my lip. "Uh, you're gonna laugh, but I don't know my number. I kinda threw my phone in their pool and Mike got me a cheapy."
                  Josh laughed, "Uh oh, why'd you throw it in the pool?"
                  "'Cause my stupid cheatin' ex called me." As soon as it left my mouth I regretted it. I quickly covered my mouth, my eyes growing wide.
                  He took my hands and lowered them. "Don't worry about it. My ex cheated too. Why I've been single for so long."
                  I looked at him a little confused. "Really? Why do people cheat? I don't get it."
                  "I don't either, but maybe it all happened for a reason."
                  "Maybe," I replied, our eyes locking on each other again.
     
                  The next morning I woke up bright and early. I decided it was a good day for a run, remembering slightly what had happened the night before. Which embarrassed me, I couldn't help it, though. I had never meant to blurt out what had happened to end my relationship. And then that got me to thinking about how great mine and Lance's relationship had been until I caught him cheating. He never admitted to it, even though I saw it with my own eyes. And I still didn't know how long it had been going on, sometimes I didn't care, other times I cared way too much.
                  I bypassed the kitchen when I heard Mike and Ashley talking, instead, I cut quickly through the living room and slipped out the front door. After I stretched I began to jog slowly, gradually building up my speed. The entire time I had thoughts and memories running through my head. Everything from Lance and me to Josh and our cab ride last night. It was stupid to even be thinking about that short time spent with Josh, but every time I tried to think of something else, I couldn't. Not because I thought I might be in "love", but because I had the most fun with him I'd had in a long time.
                  By the time I realized where I was, I was about four miles away from Ashley and Mikes house, so I turned to head back. As I did my phone began to ring and without thinking about it, I answered.
                  "Hello?"
                  "Where are you?" I heard Ashley ask.
                  I smiled. "Running. Sorry, I had to clear my head."
                  "Don't apologize. How'd it go last night after we left?"
                  I could hear the underlying tone in her voice. The one that was actually asking if I'd gotten laid. "It was fine. We took a cab together and that was
