Robbie and I have been seeing one another for a few weeks now. We just hang out, drink coffee at local cafes, shop together on our smart phones and simply relax.
It has been a wonderful ride with Robbie. We have not slept together and I simply love being in his company and what's more, he loves being in my company. He makes me feel wanted, welcome and appreciated.
All was well until Monday 4/4/11. Robbie and I met for coffee in the afternoon after we both ran some personal errands. When I got to the coffee shop, he was sitting outside on the cafe patio listening to music on his phone. He stood up to hug me and told me that he just got there. That was evident by the fact that he wasn't sipping on coffee.
He asked if I wanted coffee and that was a serious no-brainer, of course I did. He stood to go inside to buy our coffee drinks but I stopped him, simply took his card and volunteered to go inside and purchase our coffee drinks.
After grabbing our "joes" I sat down and simply took inventory on his behavior. Robbie want acting strangely, but something was a-miss. My senses were tingling. "What's up?", I casually asked. "Well...", he began, "I have something I want to tell you and I don't want you to freak out on me."
GULP! The back of my throat became sticky and dry. I felt like I wanted to run, scream and punch him in the face all at the same time.
"What is it?" I replied.
Stop right here.
Now, I was preparing myself for the worst and most people would. Rightfully so. But I tried with all my being to keep an interested expression on my face. I know how to do that, you know. I practice in the mirror. It's a better than the "I want to run, scream and punch him in the face all at the same time" expression.
"Marina is coming back to stay with me for a week."
Marina is the ex-girlfriend of 7 years who went to live with a couple as an live in housekeeper several months ago, yet the day after she moved in with the family, she broke her leg. Although Marina still lives with the family, she is coming back to Robbie's place while the family takes a vacation, thus not leaving Marina alone to care for herself.
According to Robbie, Marina has no family worth their weight in used carpet. No one wants to have her stay with them. She is certainly not a people person. From what I am told, she would rival Cruella De Vil in a wheelchair with steel rods in her leg.
Here is bleeding heart Robbie there to take in the strays. Why does the stray have to be his ex?
To be con't...
