True Life

He's International

Now there is L. I meet him during a nightout with my co-workers at a local establishment. He was tall (6'9"), a large muscular man, football player build (offensive linemen), with dark green eyes and a bald head. He was the best looking guy in the club that night. Now L seemed so intelligent, kind, fun, and loving at first but it was all a facade.
We talked and I realized that we knew many of the same people. I also learned that he was in an open relationship, the power of Facebook; open I said, what is the true definition of this relationship? We are comfortable together so we continue to see each other but the distance is wearing on the relationship. Red flag #1! I thought he was cool so I continued to talk to him. We hungout with our mutual friends together, bowling, dinner, etc. It was cool! A few weeks into it he tells me he's single: "I told her I didn't want to see her anymore". I didn't believe it. My best friend and my roommate loved him. They thought he was the best out of the guys I was talking to but something about him just didn't rub me the right way and I didn't give him the time I was giving S and J. But I kept him around.
A group of us went out one night to a bar/club. I walked away for a minute to come back and find him all over some girl, I'm not sure why I was so bothered by this. Oh wait, I know, "how dare he he is here with me and I need to make it known" mind you I was not even feeling him like that, it was all an act to get what I wanted. But I stormed out and he ran after me, now he was open (catching feelings). I drove off not hearing what he had to say, all a mind game. I ignored his calls as he called incessantly to apologize. I got a gift from that mistake that I wear to work every day. Obviously I kept him around a little longer. I didn't give him much of my time, lie after lie. It was either school work, girls nightout, washing my hair, blah, blah,blah. I would call him when I was bored or the other guys were busy.
Now it's about a month into this and it's time for his spring break and he tells me he's going to Brazil to work with orphaned children. My friends are like "he's great he's using his spring break to work with orphans" I'm like "whatever". The night before he's leaving we all go out and it happens again. I walk away and there he is again all over another girl. Oh Boy! He just doesn't learn. So I blackout on him; I'm such a great actress and the alcohol helped. He followed me out once more begging for me to hear him out, I drove off once again. I ignored his calls for the rest of the night and morning before his flight as he begged me to forgive him and telling me how much he was going to miss me. So now he's supposed to be in Brazil and I get this email from him:
what up, I left my phone home so I need you to email me back to get your number.....I don't know it by heart but I'm sure you don't remember mine either.....I got here at around 2am Sunday.... Were 2 hours ahead of the time there....I'm at a Internet cafe in Salvador, Bahia...its a city and state in north east Brazil..I did a lot of tourist shit today, and tomorrow I'm going to Christ Alive Corner Orphanage but that's not how they say it, its Orfanato Recanto Cristo Vivo in Portuguese... The weather is beautiful down here, and I know its gotta be like 80 degrees up there....SIKE.......But I'm in Salvidor until Wednesday then I'm headed down to Rio until Saturday....I know this is going to be a great learning experience, because it has been interesting already....I know when I left you and I weren't on good terms but I got you 2 things and I know if you don't hit me back to stop gettin you gifts because MY TIME IS UP......But I hope you do, I really do miss you.... I'm here and I'm alive and I'm gettin tan..... holla at me L

He even changed his voicemail to say he was in Brazil. But if all this were true I wouldn't be writing this blog. Come to find out he was not in Brazil but visiting his girlfriend of 6 years who just happened to email me to find out what was going on between the two of us. We exchanged numbers and I gave the girl the raw honest truth, I mean I owed her that after putting up with that fool for 6 years. I had been where she was and knew how she was feeling. She was hurt but now she knew the truth and could do with it what she wanted. As soon as I hung-up with the girlfriend I get a call from L's older sister "why would you tell her this stuff", "do you think you are going to be his girlfriend now", "you want my brother". I couldn't do anything but laugh because I couldn't give two shits about her brother and want him, hahah, he was not even on my level. He couldn't dress, I mean he wore run down sneakers and the same jeans all week. So I had to tell her, nicely, your brother must be lying to you as well because I don't want him, he chases me, calls me incessantly, and damn near stalks me. You can believe what he's telling you if you want. He was a fallback guy. And I hung-up. I didn't get any more phone calls and after this encounter I thought "great this situation is over".
Little did I know that L was not quite done yet. Do you know he still had the nerve to contact me. He emailed me and said:
All the shit that happened was crazy...But you did what you felt you had to do...the crazy thing is that I had already told her all the things you said to her so she just wanted to hear it from you that why she got a hold of you. But I did think there was a little confidentiality between us but I see that I was wrong...oh well Im not mad and Im sure your not either..we both know that life progresses . Let me know how to get your book back to you. L

He's not mad...is He joking..how could he be...he put me in the middle of his drama. He's a pathological liar and it just keeps coming. There must be something really wrong with him. I guess he wasn't as dumb as I thought he was because the whole Brazil story was very creative.

But he's right about one thing LIFE PROGRESS!
