“I was jogging. And you hit me?”

“You jog in a tux?” I said pointing to the tux she was still wearing.

She looked down. Obviously not aware she was still wearing the tux.

“It was my wedding…I just couldn’t do it. Something didn’t seem right.”

“It could be that you were running the wrong direction”

She smiled at my attempt to lighten the mood.

“That could have been the reason why, and here I was wondering what the problem was the hole time”

“Are you glad I ran you over now?”

“Just what the doctor asked for. So Tina, what are you running from?”

She didn’t waist time did she? I figured it was fair to answer her honestly now.

“I found out my girlfriend was cheating on me…she was cheating on me for over a year.”

She nodded. Clearly not sure how to respond. I’m surprised that I didn’t notice how hot she really is. Specially when she trying to think of something to say.

“Sorry, to hear that.”

“It’s okay. At least she didn’t leave me at the altar.”

Shit why did I say that.

“Thanks, because it’s not like a feel guilty already”

“I’m sorry; I don’t know why I said that.”

“Jodi may not see it now, but I just prevented her from making the biggest mistake of her life.”

“Might take her awhile to see where your coming from, maybe she knew”

“Knew what? That I’d make a run for it. Risking my life by jumping in front of cars”

She was beginning to see humor in all this.

“Ill make breakfast and you can wash up…Wait… do you have extra clothes?”

“Yes, I do. I always have some here. Just in case”

With that she walked out of the kitchen.

After breakfast and a quick tour of the place. We went for a walk on the beach.

Turns out Bette and I were in the process of becoming great friends.

“So I take it, Erica broke your heart?” Bette asked

“I guess, I was never madly in love with her or anything.”

“So she didn’t break your heart?”
