No Strings Attached!?

Drinks

  I arrived at Jjs a few minutes late. I walk inside, Jayson is sitting at the bar sipping a bourbon on the rocks.  "I'll have what he's having" I told the bartender as I sat next to him. I pulled the paperwork out of my bag, handed Jayson the pen and said "here's the agreement we discussed,  sign right here and we can start Monday. " He signed the papers and handed them back just as the bartender brought my drink over, "add her drinks to my tab as well." He told the bartender,  "now that the business is done we can catch up." He said to me.  I thought to myself I hope we can do much more than that. 
  Jayson had explained most of his current situation to me at the house earlier.  He turned to me and asked "so I guess you and Jon are still together? You guys were so perfect in high-school." I chuckled,  " No we weren't, perfect is the fartherest thing from what we were!" I explained to him, my high-school sweetheart and I ran off after graduation and got married. We moved to Kentucky so he could play basketball for UK and I could get my diploma. I explained that being married to a college basketball superstar was not all it was cracked up to be. Between the parties and steroid abuse Jon didn't find much time for his wife, and there were many nights he'd forget to come home. After the first year of college, I decided it was best for me to Divorce him and move back home.  Jayson was surprised. "Jon hid that well,  he definitely portrayed himself as the dutiful husband trying to make a better life for you" I laughed, "that's the furtherest thing from the hell I lived.  He beat me when I didn't come to a game, he beat me if I did. He demanded sex from me if I said no he'd do it anyway or beat me to compliance,  I'd had enough!" Jayson placed his hand on my shoulder and said, "oh damn sorry I brought it up." I assured him it was fine as I downed my bourbon and asked for another.  "It's for the best really,  I moved back here and opened my business. It took a little time to get established but I'm doing well now. If I'd stayed with Jon I would've ended up in whatever city he was playing for at the time and probably never able to follow my dream. He'd expect me barefoot and pregnant all the time." I explained to him. He replied, "well at least you're happy here and successful,  and safe! Are you seeing anyone now?" I looked at him took a sip of my drink and said "nothing serious or worth talking about." He said, "hmmm interesting."
  Interesting? What the hell does that mean? What I wasn't telling Jayson was that I was known for one night stands. There were many guys in the town or two over that I have been in their bed since I left Jon 5 years ago. Some more than once, some married some not.
  I had been living a pretty destructive lifestyle since college. I was a shrewd business woman by day but at night I was a party animal. This behavior started while Jon and I were still at college and married. He spent most of his evenings at parties and with a cheerleader or sorority girl.  I got tired of sitting home alone. I started attending parties and drinking.  One night I decided I was a woman with needs and I was gonna act on those needs, maybe sleeping with my psych professor wasn't the best idea but it felt amazing and pissed off my husband..   I guess I learned a thing or two watching Jon's behavior.
  We were finishing our second drink when someone started playing the jukebox.  At jjs, when the jukebox comes on the dancing starts. I joined a few other ladies on the dance floor, my inhibitions were lowering pretty quickly. I went back to the bar and Jayson was holding two shots, he handed me one as I walked up. "Whats this?"  I asked . "A little go juice," he replied. I took the tequila shot, sat my glass down, grabbed his hand and drug him to the dance floor. The night was young and I was feeling frisky!
