Girls, girls, girls
September 20, 2008A while ago I met this girl at work, we’ll call her “Kelly.” Kelly was pretty cool, we were kicking it off and on, we eventually slept together. You know how the story goes. I told Kelly from the get-go that I’m only a friend, nothing more. Being straight up with a girl I plan on tagging is what I try to do, because if she catches feelings where I don’t want her to, that could cause problems. I’m not looking for a relationship, bottom line.
After Kelly and I had sex one night, she told me “Ryan, I know you don’t want a girlfriend and all, but I just want you to know that I do like you.”
Whatever, Kelly. I should’ve bailed at that very moment, but, if you’ve read any of my previous posts (all two of them), you’d know that some things just aren’t that easy to get away from.
Kelly and I kicked it almost every day for about two weeks. She would smoke me out on the regular during the week, and I’d catch her back on the weekend. It was the perfect friendship: weed and sex. Except Kelly started changing. For the worst.
At work one Friday, I was getting off at 8:30pm while Kelly was going to be there until 11pm. I told her I would smoke her out that night since she was stressed about something. Before I left I sat in the breakroom for a minute so that I could get some girl’s number. Kelly thought I had left and got mad that I hadn’t said goodbye to her.
Note: Kelly is always stressed about something. Whether it’s her sick relative, her annoying dog that she neglectfully leaves in the cage all day, or her mother’s stuff being all over her place, she has some drama going on. I hate drama. It’s my kryptonite.
After I got off work I went to hang out with one of my girlfriends from school. At around 11:30ish I get a call from Kelly asking me when I’ll be over.
“I’ll be out there in a bit.”
Twenty whole minutes later, Kelly sends me a text message. The exchange went like this (no grammar or spelling mistakes are corrected):
Kelly: And you always rush me…how long you gonna have me waiting?
Me: You need to stop.
Kelly: Ok your right…… Dont worry about it hope you enjoyed getting smoked out all week peace.
Me: Do what you do homie.
Kelly: Thats so fucked up how you gonna tell me all week you r gonna smoke me out now be a jerk? Thats you doing what you do hommie…. I cant beleive you all i asked you was how long you were gonna have me waiting since you rush me to smoke You out…oh I know What your thinking and please beleive im calm
Yeah Kelly, real calm. If that’s calm then you’re a national terror threat when you get pissed off.
Me: I’ve chilled with you almost every night for the last two weeks. My bad kelly for wantin to kick it with somebody else
The worst part about this whole thing was it was only midnight. I’ve stayed at Kelly’s place until 5am before, so pardon me for thinking that showing up at around 1-ish am on a Friday night was an outlandish assumption.
Later in the night I told Kelly that I was breaking up with her…
I’ve kept the lines of communication open with Kelly. I don’t sleep with her or really hang out with her anymore, but I do talk to her. Here’s a gem of a conversation we had just tonight over AIM…
(12:06) kelly: u there?
(12:08) me: yeah
(12:08) kelly: u can but half if u want
(12:08) kelly: done talking?
(12:08) me: jeez kelly let me take a breather.
(12:08) me: i’ll send you a message every 10 seconds with a life update, and i’ll catch my farts in a bottle so you don’t miss a moment of my life.
(12:09) kelly: okay Ryan
(12:09) kelly: see why u gotta b like that
(12:09) me: “u there?” “yeah” — five seconds later — “done talking?”
(12:09) kelly: DAMN IT MAN IM SORRY IM SORRY IM SORRY
Ladies and gentlemen, in the case of Ryan against not wanting a girlfriend, I give you exhibit A.
