Chapter 1489 His Indecent Proposal:>>2

Tom worked in the city, too, and he went to the same gym that we did. Allison and he had a few classes in college together and had struck up a friendship then. She invited him to our sorority parties and he came, sometimes with a girl, sometimes with a few friends from his job, had a few drinks, and disappeared politely. It's my suspicion that Allison and he hooked up sometime in our senior year. Allison denies it, but I always thought she had a crush on him.
But Tom was Tom. He wasn't bad looking. He wasn't handsome like Bobby was but he didn't look bad. He didn't slouch, he had dark hair and he was in good shape. And he was usually pretty quiet. At some point after his graduation he had ended up working for a major law firm (or so I heard). He did well for himself, and that was why we never had any compunctions against him taking us out for smoothies after the gym.
If that seems unlike the picture of Tom I've painted before, it is. The smoothies were Allison's idea, and Tom seemed to like to listen to her talk about theatre. Again, I thought it was because there was a crush going on, either one way or both ways. But I honestly think Tom just liked listening to us talk. He was 25 or 26 at this point and he was always busy. He worked seven days a week, and at strange hours. We all usually ended up at the gym at the same time and afterwards we'd walk across the street.
