JAMIE'S BROWNSTONE APARTMENT
new york, new york
7:30pm

i sat on the couch with sully as he watched the game. my legs sprung across his lap as he shouted curses at the tv, nursing a beer as he did so.

just then, the phone rang. "i'll get it!" i said to sully before making my way to the phone. "hello?" i answered.

"we're going out." samantha said.

"who's on the phone?" charlotte's voice could be heard.

"all of us. it's from the future." carrie said jokingly.

"why are you guys calling me so late?" miranda questioned.

carrie let out a small sigh, "it's 7:30. were you asleep?"

"i'm pregnant, i'm always asleep." miranda answered in a deadpanned voice, the day before miranda had informed us all that she was keeping the baby. this not only made us happy but made charlotte happy especially, she couldn't wait to welcome in her niece. "these are my last months of freedom and i'm spending them in bed," she continued.

"well don't just spend the alone in bed." samantha retorted.

"i'm a lost cause, go on without me. save yourselves!" miranda quipped jokingly.

"no, we're all going. we have to shake things up before we officially become boring," carrie explained. "i say we go dancing!"

"i'm in!" samantha said.

"okay, but not somewhere i'm gonna feel worse about myself when no one's interested cause i'm fat." miranda expressed.

"hey! i'd be interested, pregnant or not." i said teasingly.

"thanks, jamie." miranda replied.

"touchdown!" sully yelled out.

"what was that?" carrie said.

"oh, just sully. he's watching the game at my place." i answered.

"the hot firefighter? you're still seeing him?" miranda replied. "i thought he was more like a fling."

"yeah, he is." i replied.

"i know exactly where we should go!" samantha exclaimed.

TRADE-CLUB
new york, new york
8:15pm

at the hot new gay club, trade. the girls and i danced around with the confetti pouring down on us.

"i feel like we don't belong here!" charlotte yelled.

"that's because we're wearing shirts!" carrie yelled back, noticing all of the gay shirtless guys.

"why don't straight men have bodies like this?" miranda asked.

"because gay men have the possibility of sex at the gym! if straight men had that, they'd be working out all the time, too." carrie explained.

"i've had sex at the gym!" samantha said as we danced together.

"samantha's doing her part to motivate the masses." i replied.

"i'm going to the ladies room." miranda said.

"me too! i bet there's no line." samantha said as she gently pulled away from me.

i nodded. "meet you two at the bar?"

"the bar!" samantha replied before disappearing into the sea of people.

"char! what the hell are you doing here?" charlotte's friend, anthony, said to charlotte.

"oh we're just shaking things up. remember carrie? and this is jamie!" charlotte introduced.

"love what you're wearing!" anthony said to me.

"thanks! day-glo underwear, look into it," i said as i looked down at the somewhat see through dress.

"this is my friend gordon, a design editor for house and garden." anthony introduced us to the man beside him.

"hello!" carrie and i replied.

"oh my god! i love that magazine!" charlotte yelled. "i used to wear my mother's pearls and flip through it when i was little."

"me too!" gordon said.

"i've got a great before apartment if you need an after." carrie said jokingly.

"you should see char's new apartment! it's park avenue, so freaking gorgeous." anthony told gordon.

"it was originally my husband's, but he let me have free reign and do whatever i wanted to it!" she said. "so i moved in and moved my ideas in with me."

"we're going a big urban issue this spring, maybe i should check it out." gordon said.

"oh my god! if my apartment could be in h and g magazine, i would be in heaven!" charlotte yelled as she grabbed onto me.

"let's dance!" gordon yelled as he grabbed charlotte, whisking her away.

"i had him all wound up, and she comes crashing in." anthony complained to me and carrie.

"are you two together?" i asked.

"no, but i'm hoping we will be around 3:30." he replied.

"that's the spirit." i said.

"care to dance?" he asked.

"no, you kids go have your fun," i replied, looking for the bar.

"watch out for the fairy!" anthony called out.

"which one?" carrie and i retorted at the same time.

the bar was completely full. there were barely any seats available and i was crushed in between two guys like sardines. by this time i had lost carrie.

"could i get a tequila soda?!" i called out to the bartender but everyone was yelling over each other.

"hello?!" i heard carrie yell out to the bartender from across the bar.

finally some guy got the attention of the bartender came over to me, "what do you need?"

"a penis evidently." i replied.

"funny." he said.

"can i just get a tequila soda with a splash of lime." i said to him.

i looked over and noticed carrie talking to a man, once the bartender handed me my drink and i slipped him a twenty, i made my way to the dance floor where i danced alone with my drink, never feeling more free.

after about twenty minutes, i was back at the bar, this time to chat with the girls, not to order.

"what'd i miss?"

"i peed in a men's room and outed a coworker," miranda said.

"i got a phone number and some porn!" carrie retorted.

"i saw two dicks and took a hit of x!" samantha said with a smile. "i'll be here every weekend if you couldn't guess."

"char?" i asked.

she shook her head, "nothing! i was just dancing."

"to think that i almost slept through this." miranda said.

"i can't believe you took ecstasy from a stranger," charlotte said to samantha.

"he wasn't a stranger. he was a friend of my friend's bobby's friend bobby," samantha explained.

"oh well, then you know it's safe," miranda said sarcastically. "will we go to a rave later?"

"no, but i might have to drop in on richard. they say sex on x is amazing. it releases all of your inhibitions." samantha said.

CENTRAL PARK
new york, new york
12pm

seated with sully at a bench in the park, we ate our greasy pizza slices. i took a napkin and dabbed the pizza.

"what's that for?" he asked with a small chuckle.

"it makes the pizza less greasy" i replied as i continued to dab the pizza.

he laughed and shook his head, "and takes all the flavor out of it" he added.

"it's got plenty of flavor as it is." i pointed out as i took a bite of pizza.

"what are we doing after this?" he asked. "i'm free the rest of the day."

i shrugged, "i think a better question is what are we doing as a whole."

"what do you think we're doing?" he asked as he finished his last bite of pizza.

"i think that i'm thirty-five and it's time for me to get my life together." i informed him.

he nodded, "what brought this on?" he replied.

"i don't know...i'm just tired of meaningless flings and dating to pass time." i replied. "i'm not getting any younger. and my friends are having kids, getting married, and i'm just sitting here...dabbing my pizza with a guy who doesn't care for serious relationships."

he smiled and nodded, "you make me sound like a total ass." he observed. "but i promise you it's not like that. i care deeply about you and love spending time with you. i just am not at a place in my life where i'm ready to be in a serious relationship...if it were to happen i would want to do it right."

"i didn't mean to make you sound bad." i nodded, "but this whole time guys have been wanting to live up their thirties. which is fine, but i'm past that." i clarified. "i can't keep being just another girl in line."

"i'm not ready to settle down." he replied to my statement. "i understand where you're coming from and i wish i could give you what you're looking for, but i can't and i will not lead you on or give you false hope."

"i understand." i said as i gave him a nod. "so what do we do from here? keep doing what we're doing or just stop seeing each other all together?"

"i can't give what you're wanting so...maybe it's best that we call it quits now." he replied.

"okay." i said as i nodded slowly. "well...i don't want things to be awkward between us, so i'm just going to go home now." my voice sounded sad. i knew this was the end of whatever it was between us. i stood up and grabbed my bag. "bye." i gave him a sad smile and i turned to walk away.

SAMANTHA'S APARTMENT
new york, new york
8pm

i walked inside alongside charlotte, my hands filled with a bowl of popcorn while charlotte held biscotti. as we walked inside we saw the tv showing gay porn.

"not cool, you said we were watching an independent film! i brought biscotti!" charlotte complained.

"and i brought popcorn." i announced.

"oh, give me some!" samantha replied as she got up from the couch.

"relax, charlotte. i've watched it already and i'm telling you, this is really funny." carrie said as she pointed to the television.

"this is the way to do it, no "i love you." just some good old fashioned fucking." samantha said as she observed the tv.

"what's wrong with saying i love you during it?" charlotte asked.

miranda scoffed, "oh god."

"when i was on x, i accidentally told richard that i love him. but it's fine, we moved past it." samantha explained.

"i sometimes wish there was a guy that i could say "i love you" to." i confessed causing the girls' attention to leave the screen.

"i'm sorry, but aren't you afraid of relationships?" carrie said.

"i was, but come on. charlotte's married, miranda's pregnant, carrie's living with a man, and samantha's in a serious relationship...it's time for me to get a move on." i expressed as i ate some of my popcorn.

the silence was deafening.

"what about the firefighter?" charlotte asked.

"it's over. he doesn't want anything serious." i replied.

miranda let out a hum. "look at you, growing up."

"getting out of that fear." carrie added.

"i'm moving on to bigger and better things." i said before grabbing a hold of the remote and turning up the volume, allowing for the girls' focus to be diverted back to the tv where we all shared laughs.

housekeeping notes !

now this means we're getting closer to finding jamie's future husband!

who do you all think it will be? it can be one of the new characters who hasn't shown up yet or a guy she already has dated. (i've already picked but would love to hear your guesses)
