Gregory’s office. There was coffee waiting for me already. Double bonus.
                  “Amber, please come in here for a moment,” I said. I clasped my hands together and gratefully accepted the coffee that was awaiting me.
                  Gregory sat in his leather chair and closed his laptop screen so he could look at me evenly. In the corner of his room was a white board with Gregory’s terrible writing on it. I began wiping it off.
                  “Hey, I needed that,” he said, but with not much fire about it. Amber sat in one of the comfy guest chairs and looked at me with a gaze of pure boredom.
                  “I have decided I want to be with only one woman,” I started.
                  “You’ve got to be shitting me,” Amber said, crossing her legs in her pencil skirt as she placed both arms on the chair.
                  “Sorry?” Gregory asked. He leant in, looking both intense and confused.
                  “I have been thinking. For so long now I have loved pleasing women—”
                  “You fuck women, that’s all you do,” Amber cut me off. I grabbed the whiteboard marker and pointed it at her, determined to finish my explanation. She was always so quick to cut me off.
                  “Yes. I do. But I now want to only be with one woman. I don’t want to be lonely anymore. I want to find the real, forever kind of love.” It was a relief to say it.
                  “Umm, I don’t want to seem negative and I am really happy for you, Hayden,” Gregory began as he took his glasses off to clean them. “But you have a lot of women you’re seeing right now, how are you going to decide on one?”
                  “Exactly!” I said enthusiastically. “So basically we write a list on here of the finalists. Let’s find out who I would be most compatible with!”
                  “What do you think this is, some kind of game show?” Amber squinted at me.
                  “I vote head-job-Amy. Stick with her,” Gregory said. His smile quickly vanished at Amber’s effective look.
                  “Right, Amy. So we write her on the board then,” I said, scribbling her name.
                  “Amy is no good, Hayden. It’s so obvious she is around you for her own exposure through the events you take her to.” She paused for a moment as I wrote, Not good for you, Exposur e, Events on the board. “Oh my god,” she exclaimed. “You only have one purpose for each woman you sleep with, don’t you? That’s if you see them more than once. So Amy, she’s like your little trophy item you take to events. That bartender chick, what’s her name? You go to that bar all the time?”
                  “Brandy,” Gregory interjected with certainty.
                  “Yea, that girl. You don’t take her on dates. You only get with her when you feel like you need to release a huge sexual build-up or something.”
                  “Yea, Brandy,” I pointed the marker at her. “She can go on there too.” I scribbled her name down.
                  “No, not Brandy. She has gotten you in trouble with the law three times now. She isn’t a good influence.”
                  “Get you in trouble,” I said, repeating the words as I made a note next to her name.
                  “Oh, what about Jenniva?” Gregory asked animatedly.
                  “Oh yea, Jenniva, she’s clever and comes from a wealthy family. Surely you can’t argue with that, Amber?”
                  “Jenniva, are you serious? She’s in her final year of studying psychology. She will pick your simple brain apart in seconds,” she said, crossing her arms over her chest.
                  Too. Smart. For. Simple. Minded. Me
