She barely had time to enjoy her studio after her return. After one blissful night of sleep, it was back to long rehearsals and barely getting home and getting to bed. She did love her bed though. She was blissfully happy to be home. She was looking forward to a nice relaxing day once rehearsals were over for the week.
"Hey, what are you doing Thursday?" Goldie texted. With Goldie, it was always something amazing, so she set aside the feeling of wanting to be alone and said "I give up, what are we doing?"
What they did was drive 2 hours west to a comic book convention Goldie needed to do press for. It was an after party with a childhood hero in the VIP area and a reality TV star covered in tattoos doing interviews in the front. Comic Cons were a whole other beast now. It was wild.
On the way they discussed and went through her new foray into online dating. She had decided to distract her from the fight with KSL with other men that were actually interested in her. As a new experience.
She hated it, all the attention that was was so surface level. All the small talk. It was beginning to hurt her soul. Oh one hand, it was nice to know her face was cute enough that she was attracting people. Goldie said the first 72 hours were as much action as she was bound to get. She decided that after a week she would just delete it all.
2 horses emerged out of the dregs of fuckboys. One started to become strange, asking her for her "secrets" and asking if she would keep him a secret since not everyone knew she was separated. Then he started talking about sex and wondering if they were sexually compatible. She told him to open up and say what kind of sex he was into. He told her group, exhibitionist, and threesomes. She asked him exactly how many partners he had in the past. He said he hadn't been keeping track, but around 20-30. He asked her, she told him two. He said that would be a lot of pressure on him. She said it would be more pressure on her to live up to all those women. He said he was nervous to be "33% of your sexual history" and her snark came out and she said "Funny. Didn't seem to bother the second guy."
The dude got super jealous of KSL, and it was all too preliminary for her. She hadn't even met the guy yet and he was all judgey mcjudgerson, and clingy. She asked the other horse to find her on a third party messaging service, and deleted everything.
She hoped one man would be enough of a distraction from KSL. He certainly held promise.
