dropping off the face of the earth from their relationship. Michael was the one person she could count on to talk to and give her sound advice. She loved Molly but Molly’s theory was sex solved everything. When Jane was dating George, he took over her life and separated her from her friends, Michael being one of them. She felt bad that she stopped talking to Michael, they were always so close. Molly and Michael were crazy together and would always made sure they were the life of the party but when it came to Jane and Michael, they were connected on an emotional level. They always leaned on each other when they needed to talk or needed advice. She didn’t talk to Michael when George cheated on her because she couldn’t face the embarrassment and feared how he would feel about her all of a sudden reaching out to him.
“I know I’m sorry Mikey. I was in a bad spot after I left Deorge and then I started focusing on my business which seems to be really picking up now.”
“Don’t sweat it Kiddo, but you can make it up to me if you would like.” Replied Michael.
“What do you have in mind mister?”
“Do you have any plans tonight?”
“Sadly, no. How lame am I? Friday night with no big plans, might as well go adopt ten cats and call myself the old maid.” Jane said sarcastically.
“I don’t think anyone would call you an old maid after what you wore the last night. Hot damn when did you get so hot? Don’t get me wrong you have always been steamin’ but every man was drooling over you the last night.”
Jane knew Michael always had some feelings for her but Jane always saw him as a brother, nothing more. She knew it was hard for Michael to accept their relationship as entirely platonic but he did because she knew he cherished their friendship more than not having one at all.
“Thanks Mikey, it was the dress.”
“The dress was awesome, but the dress didn’t wear you, you wore the dress and everyone knew it.”
“Wow Mikey, when did you start watching TLC? I didn’t know you had a bit of gay in you.” Jane said teasingly.
“Alright, settle down, jeeze I guess a guy can’t pay a compliment without being criticized. Listen, I want to hang out with you and Molly. Why don’t you meet me at Dave and Busters tonight? We’ll have some drinks and some friendly competition like old times.”
“Oh I see what’s happening here. You want to get a good ass whoopin’ in skee-ball,” Jane replied.
“Bring it girl! I dare you. Ever since I made it to the big leagues I bought my own skee-ball game and you can bet your ass I will be giving you a run for your money tonight.”
“We will see about that mister. Will we be seeing your lovely wife?”
“No, she is hanging with her book club tonight, boring! See you tonight hot stuff.”
Jane hung up with Michael surprisingly refreshed. She was so happy he got traded to the Braves, she missed him so much. She knew it was going to be good for her soul that they had been reunited. She missed their long talks and cuddling. They were never romantically involved but they had a general understanding that sometimes a person needed some human contact. Molly always tried to tease Jane that her and Michael would wind up together but they both knew they were nothing more but connected by their souls.
Jane pulled out her phone and sent a text to Molly.
Jane: Hey lady, Michael wants to meet at Dave and Busters tonight, you in?
Molly: Hell yea, I need to get some drinks in my system, these kids are driving me insane with their inability to do their multiplication tables.
Jane: Isn’t that why you are their teacher? You are supposed to help them…
Molly: Yea, yea, yea oh P.S. Luke sent me a note, I read it at work and almost had an orgasm at my desk, he is so hot. I love that man.
Jane: Molly, maybe you should wait to get home to read things from him.
Molly: Where’s the fun in that? See you tonight…wear something hot, I expect
