Beth walked to the taxi and stood with the door as a barrier between them, trying to think of an easy way to turn him down. She told herself she shouldn't do this, it would only end in pain for both of them. Without thinking, she covered his large hand with her much smaller one. 'So much for a barrier' she mused. "Look, I dont know...I..." A lame excuse about finalizing things with Josh was on the tip of her tongue, and she knew if she said that, Mick wouldn't question it, being the gentleman that he was. But he was still looking at her as if she was the only woman on earth, as if her answer meant more to him than life itself. She couldn't bear to deny him anything when he was looking at her like that. And truth be told, she didn't really want to.
"I don't know, something fun. Something quintisentialy New York." He was grinning wider now, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "We'll catch a set at the village vanguard. A couple of martinis. A steak for the lady. Just you and me, on the town." He looked so cute, and his excitement was so infectious, that Beth couldn't help but grin along with him. "Come on," he said, pulling her towards the waiting taxi.
I loved his excitement, like he hadn't felt in ages!
i know! he looked so cute when he was saying all that i liked writing that part
Beth didn't want to take advantage of his new found emotions. Plus, she couldn't just dump her boyfriend and go out and have fun. I think she felt she owed it to her boyfriend to officially end their relationship.
i think the Josh thing was mostly just an excuse, i think she just needed some time to think about things
but Beth is the kind of person who would want to end things with Josh before really starting something with Mick, so we'll just have to see
i hadn't read that part of your story when I said that! You wrote it beautifully!
