Ex-Husband's Regret (Ava and Rowan) novel Chapter 56

“Are you sure about what you’re doing, Ava?” Letty asks me in concern.

I was getting ready to go to Noah’s school. Today was the parent/ teacher meeting that was held annually and I was supposed to meet Rowan there.

Letty had called to know if we could hang out since we haven’t seen each other in a while. When I was attacked she had been in Japan with Travis for a business deal. She got back the day before yesterday.

“I’m sure, I think this is the best way to get over Rowan. I mean, how will I fall in love with someone else if I don’t put myself out there and date?”

I had told her about the kiss that happened with Ethan. In the past few days there have been more of them though we haven’t gone any further.

“Sure, but don’t you think you’re moving a little bit fast…how long have you known him?” she interrupts my thought.

“Just over three months…wait, why do you seem so against him now? A few weeks back you were encouraging me to go out with him, hell you were even eager to know if we had kissed after that first date, so what changed?” I was puzzled honestly not sure why she had a change of heart.

I put on my flats as I wait for her to answer. Since it was in the afternoon, I decide to go casual, so I went with jeans and a camisole.

“Yes, but that was before I realized that you’re going about it the wrong way. If you’re going to date, date him because you’re ready, date him because you like him. Not because you’re using him as a means to get over another man. I think you’re on the rebound and rebound relationships don’t end up well especially for woman like you”

I stop what I’m doing. “What do you mean ‘women like me?” I ask in annoyance and a bit offended.

“You have no experience at all when it comes to men and relationships. You’ve been with one man since you were eighteen and you relationship wasn’t that great. I’m just afraid that you don’t know what you’re doing or what you’re getting yourself into”

“Fine. We’re still on for Wednesday, right?”

“Definitely”

After saying goodbye, I hang up. I check the time and it was one in the afternoon. I was still irritated with this meeting. I mean, who holds a parent/teacher meeting on Saturday. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they schedule it for afternoon?

After taking what I need, I lock up and leave. I get into my car and drive off.

As I drove, I couldn’t help but think about what Letty said. She was right, I had no experience with the dating scene. I didn’t know what Ethan wanted or expected. Did he want a relationship or just a fuck buddy?
