Days of our lives

I'm upset right now. I hate coming back to my desk from lunch and not find an e-mail or text message on my phone waiting for me. You'd think at least one of the ladies in my life would think of me. Sure I've put Jennifer in the back-burner, but I expect Katie or Tracy to send me something. Okay maybe not Tracy. Only 2 weeks ago we got on like a house on fire. Then she went cold on me. That's my fault though. I invited her to a beer festival, showed up over an hour late to pick her up, and when we got there I met Katie and Debbie and totally forgot about her.

But you can't blame a guy for recognising hot chicks when he sees them. I'd met Katie and Debbie at a club 2 months before Tracy's time. We had a bump 'n grind session on the dance floor. I'd never danced like that with a chick in my life before, let alone two. The things those girls did with their bodies, I'd only seen gymnasts and ballerinas do. And being a idiot, I let them go without getting their numbers. And now I see them at this beerfest, I wasn't gonna mess up this opportunity. Poor Tracy. She was left to fend off on her own. It came as no great surprise when she said she wants to go home. I quickly dropped off at her cousin’s house and made a dash back to the beerfest to be with Katie and Debbie. Although I was more into Katie, it’s always nice to mention them as a package deal. I don’t know those girls too well but I wouldn’t put it past them to enjoy a little group activity.

No such luck on that night though. Other than the usual bumping ‘n grinding not much else happened. I gave them, plus some other girls, a lift home. But not before I got their numbers though…

The next day I get text message from Tracy telling me how much she hates how I ignored her and how stupid it made her feel. I diluted the atmosphere with a couple of jokes and soon we were cool again. Or so I thought…

As much as I was starting to like Tracy, I decided to not call her for the next 2 days just to give her the gift of missing me. What was I to do with all the free time I would have. Katie. When I finally called Tracy, she was sick. Not just sick though, cold too. From this cool chick, she turned into an ice queen. Stuff that! Isn’t life a box of chocolates! Options options options. If she wants to play it that way, I’m game. And with that I made plans to hook up with Katie on the weekend.

We arranged to meet for coffee on Friday and Debbie and Rob were to join us. Mixed doubles. Katie flaked out on us and the whole thing was called off. Why bother? This left me wondering what I would do with my Friday evening. I didn’t have to wonder for very long. Carol, Kevin’s housemate came home with some tickets to a rugby match. The three of us went there and had a reasonably okay time. Things looked up when I got a text from Katie saying she wanted to meet up on Saturday. Oh yeah baby bring it on.

And speaking of Carol. This chick is so hot for me that I’m scared to go to Kevin’s house. One of these days she’s gonna seriously jump my bones. But that too is my fault. I wanted her to hook me up with a friend of hers but she told me to forget about it. Kevin told me that Carol didn’t want me with her friend because she wanted me for herself. How dare she! She had to be brought to task. I decided to start flirting with her and then leave her hanging. I did such a great job of it that last night she was about to confess her feelings for me but I could see it coming and made a run for it. I don't know if I'm gonna be going to Kevin's house anytime soon...

Back to Saturday. Katie wanting to do something, remember? Early that day I call Rob and suggested that I bring Katie and Debbie so we can hang out at his house. He thought that was cool and we agreed to meet later.

On my way to fetch the ladies, Tracy calls me. She tells me she wants to hook up and have coffee. I told her I was on my way to Rob's and that I couldn't. She said fine. But it obviously wasn't fine because a couple of minutes after we'd gotten to Rob's house, she calls me again, this time demanding that I drop whatever I'm doing to go be with her. I told her I couldn’t. She’d have none of that. She insisted and even started making threats that if I don’t come over immediately, I might as well erase her number from my phone ‘cause she wants nothing to do with me. That was it! Who the hell does this chick think she is? I put my phone on silent and rejoined the banter.

What a time we had! It’s the first time I’ve actually spent time with Katie and Debbie and I’ll tell you they’re more than just pretty faces and sexy bodies. They have brains too. Especially Katie, the one I'm really interested in. She obviously had a great time at Rob's because the next day we had a sms marathon which lasted for about 3 hours which she started. At the end of it all, we set up a date for this coming Friday. I can't wait...

But I need to keep myself occupied until then. Maybe I'll give Tracy a buzz. That's if she is still talking to me. Why wouldn't she? Sure I ignored her calls for a couple of hours, but I don't think a man should be judged on something as trivial as exercising the right not answer his phone when he doesn't want to.
