No Interest in Love (2015)
“It’s a long walk from Carletta’s suite to the fast-food place down the road, but at least it’s not twenty miles. And the journey there and back to the hotel goes quick with everything reeling through my brain on a loop.
I said no to a sure thing. I said no for the chance at a very unlikely thing. For the first time I want to be Ted, not Barney. I don’t want to take the Stinson Approach. I want my own approach to this. No script, no set characters…even though the thought of her not reciprocating... the feelings niggles in the back of my mind, I don’t let it deter me.
I step into the elevator with fast-food bag in hand, pressing the 2 button without pause. I could easily press the top floor and be back with Carletta…but I don’t. And it’s not because I feel guilty or because I think it’ll save the part I’ve spent all week to get, but because… I don’t want to.
Seems simple, but I don’t want to sleep with her. I don’t feel like sleeping with anyone but Shay, no matter how long that takes.MoreLess
