Tonight has been definitely interesting. Well first off, I picked up a job with my mom, working 10 hours a day. Not a big deal; it’s tiring, but it pays. Tonight is the Pretty Little Liars new episode. Amanda missed it so she and I were gonna chat and watch it together 🙂
I decided to watch it at Jenn’s, and every time I drive there, I’m always thinking- I wonder if I’ll see James. He lives there ish too. I log on, watch the show. First IM goes to Amanda pre-sir. BAM. IM from James. 1 Minute later (literal minute), Dave IMs me. [ 20 minutes later is Dwy, but thats not huge ]. Wow. Of all the things, all the nights. I got the usual from James, but it was a little more honest in the sense that he really just wanted a quickie.
I haven’t talked to Dave in nearly a month. Since the incident, I tried to detach myself from him and not get so bummed out. I know that I was way into it before, but I didn’t want it to keep hurting. But every time I think I’m doing ok, just before the 2 week mark, he sends me some message/picture out of nowhere. Nothing is really said. Then the same thing happens again. That again was last night. Today though, I kept trying to chat during work and he’s busy too, so it was a few texts over the entire day (up until he signed on).
We chatted. It was crazy though. Like, brief, but it was still something. I went to the diner with the kids after the show and I was texting him. He’s still a sweetheart. Example: there was a coffee spill incident. I asked him if he fixes burns. His reply? With Kisses. C’mon. I pulled a Family Guy line and said, “I should be there, not here” and he said, “Agreed.” Dude. I would have.
I know he’s still on OKC. I have to deal. But I also want to think he’s too busy to be starting anything. I told him that getting the pics out of nowhere feels like I’m not the intended recipient. He said it was intentional. Maybe there’s still something there. I had this shpiel thought out, but I couldn’t even bring it up tonight. We did establish that I’ve seen him more when he’s 6 hours away vs. when he’s about 25 miles. That’s not logical, but maybe we’re just busy people now. When I was at work, I asked him if I’d ever get to see him, and I think I fell again when he said, “I’m trying.”
I believe.
I don’t know where I’m going. Maybe I should take my own words: Be true to yourself and things will fall into place. I only know so much, and I think I need to take that chance, because hurt is inevitable, might as well make it worthwhile.
