Last Dance With Mary Jane

I'll call her Mary Jane. It's the closest I can get to an English pronunciation of her name. Mary Jane is a friend of Rebecca's ex-husband Ed.

One day Rebecca calls me and said Ed was looking to hook up his friend Mary Jane with someone and I came to her mind. I said ok, I'll meet this woman and take it from there.

Mary Jane is a stunning woman but one major problem....she's a 21 year old party girl. She loves to party. I don't. I'm 41 and the dance club scene she likes isn't me. Plus the 20 year age difference is a factor for me.

So I met Mary Jane anyway. I called her to ask her out but she never returned my call. Oh well, it was about what I expected. She met me, was nice but not interested. Whatever.

Rebecca asked me what happened with Mary Jane. I told her and Rebecca wasn't exactly happy that she treated me that way. So she called Ed and pretty much said,"What the fuck is up with this girl?" Ed explained that Mary Jane was in South Carolina with family and working.

That was a few months ago.

Then Rebecca called me last week and said she talked to Mary Jane. She told MJ to call me if she was still interested. I previously told Rebecca that I wasn't interested in MJ. To young and the whole party thing. Rebecca said to call her anyway. I said that was a problem since I deleted MJ's number.

The very next day Mary Jane calls me and asks me to lunch or dinner. Sorry I told her, I've got two tailgates planned this weekend. Football is my busy time of year.

Monday she sent me a text telling me hello and how she wanted to meet up with me. I said fine. How about Sunday she asked. I said fine since there was no home football games to go to.

So that's where I'm at with Mary Jane. I'm going to tell what's going to happen too. I will go out with her a few times. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get a roll in the hay or two out of it. But that's it.

This girl really can't be healthy for me. Her partying and my history of alcohol abuse make for a volatile mix. I can't have that.

So thanks in advance for the dance, Mary Jane, but it will be our last.
