Max Shine
Dear Ida,
I have fucked up royally! The lady I have been seeing and I went on a vacation trip together for the Christmas holiday. While at dinner one night, my ex-girlfriend showed up out of the blue. This is the same ex that has offered me a job working at her television station in another state.
Where I messed up was when my ex approached our table, I neglected to introduce my current girlfriend. I was frozen in fear, not wanting to offend my ex because I need the job she is offering. I never thought about my current girl’s feelings. However, once we were alone, she made sure that I was aware of how I made her feel.
Now it seems I may have another ex-girlfriend. That is the last thing I want. Please help.

Max let out a little sight of relief, knowing he had asked for help and Ida would come back with a solid solution. He just hoped that he hadn’t waited too long to reach out. PJ was angry. He wished that she would scream at him or throw something at him or say anything. Instead, she was acting as if he didn’t exist. It was killing him to be invisible. That’s when it dawned on him. He had made her feel invisible at the restaurant. There was no excuse for his behavior.
Christmas dinner was delicious, but the atmosphere was weird. He felt like an outsider even though Latti tried to involve him in the conversation. Without PJ talking to him, he was uncomfortable sitting with her friends. Yes, he was friends with Lattimore but not like PJ was. Whenever he would interject or offer an opinion, he felt the ice flowing from PJ, which caused him to clam up.
Christmas night after everyone was in bed, he was unable to sleep. Max was going through his emails when a new one popped in his inbox. Looking at the return address he anxiously opened the email from Ask Ida.
Dear Sunshine in Charlotte,
You are a jackass! You don’t deserve the woman in your life. Never in the history of men did a woman feel comfortable with another woman approaching her man and said man not introducing her. Now add the fact that the woman was his ex and that intensifies everything. I’m quite sure that little move may have cost you the relationship.
The real move here is for you to ask yourself why you didn’t introduce your current girl to your ex. Figure that out and you might just be able to win your girl back, if you still want her. Maybe you still have feelings for your ex. Only you can fix this. Either way, you owe this woman a huge apology.
Merry Christmas,
Ida
She was right. Of course, she was. Max was a major asshole for making PJ feel nonexistent. After deliberating over what Ida told him, Max came to the conclusion that he was oh so wrong for not introducing her as the love of his life. There was no way he wanted to get back with Simone, no matter how much people said they looked good together. She was not his one. The woman cared about designer clothes, shoes. and bags. He feared there wasn’t much room left in her heart to love a man. She had certainly made that clear when they were dating.
Suddenly Max got a brilliant idea. He would go to PJ’s room and make her forgive him. She loved his mouth on her whenever they were intimate. He thought she would appreciate a little oral love after the way he had made her feel. He only hoped that she be receptive. If not, he would probably come away missing a very necessary appendage.
Making his way into PJ’s room, he quietly shut the door after the hall light provided him enough illumination to find his way around. He removed his slippers and shirt and then crawled onto the bed with her. Max knew she liked to sleep nude, so he had easy access to her body without having to wake her before he was ready.
Thinking it was a great idea to wake her up with his face between her legs, he went to work. However, PJ did not wake up right away. He had to pleasure her longer than he anticipated. He certainly felt creepy doing this without her knowledge, but he was sure it would pay off in the end. Then it happened she finally stirred awake.
“What the hell?”
“It’s okay, baby.”
“Max? What’s going on? Why are you in here?”
“I wanted to apologize to you for what happened at the restaurant.”
“That’s not the way to do it. You can’t be serious. Get out! Don’t ever touch me again without my permission.”
“Calm down, PJ. I didn’t mean any harm.”
“You have until the count of three to get the hell out of here or you will regret it.”
“I’m sorry. I really thought you’d be into this.”
“I love getting eaten out, but only when I say it’s okay. I am livid with you. I don’t want your hands, mouth or dick on me.”
Tail tucked and pride broken, Max slinked out of PJ’s room and shut the door. He turned to go back to his room and ran smack into Latti’s chest. Max took a deep breath and let it out. Now he had to deal with this guy defending his friend. It just wasn’t his day.
“What’s going on, Max?”
“I tried to make things right with PJ, but she’s not very receptive.”
