Well, I decided to be a little more social on this site. Mainly because the friends and/or people in my life suck right now. My life kinda feels like a Descendents song right now.
Love Square Part I
I got caught up in a love square at work involving three co-workers and myself. I've been hanging out with a couple of them on and off for two weeks now. The girl involved in the situation sleep with two of the guys. The first guy (we'll call him one) she slept with wanted a relationship with her because for lack of a better description, he is weak. The second guy (two) is the most uninspiring person I know. And me (we'll call me-- me) well I'm awesome... OK maybe not awesome but I tried to be the "nice" guy. I followed the man/friend rules and didn't pursue the girl even though she was literally throwing herself at me. I'll admit I flirted with her and tried to have a fun time with friends but it didn't go any farther than that. I like to think of myself as a smart guy (albeit a bit short-sided), I can see when people are trying to manipulate a situation and this girl is no different.
Well, last Saturday, actually very early Sunday morning, he finds out in the middle of sex with her that she slept with guy two and he kicked her out of his bed and house (she ended up sleeping on the couch downstairs, which cements in my mind that one is a halfway decent guy). On Monday I find out what went down the Sunday morning from various sources and I like the intelligence grad. student I am (save that for another post) tried to get both sides of the story. Here is where I make my first mistake, I lie to one because I know he knows that she is trying to get in my pants and he is the jealous type. So after work on Monday I go to the bar where the girl is at with some friends but tell guy one that I'm going home. I proceed to get her side of the story and talk about various unrelated and related topics. During the conversations, I tell the girl that I just wanted to be friends and didn't want to have a sexual relationship with her. She agreed and pretended that it was her idea all along. I walked her to her friend's car because we were parked down the street and left for home.
When I get home (about a six minute drive) and started checking email I get a text from guy one telling me I'm such a bad friend and he trusted me blah blah. I thought oh crap he found out that I didn't go home and hung out with the girl. So I tell him the truth that I was trying to get both sides of the story and that I let my curiosity get the best of me. Well, in actuality the girl texted him and told him I slept with her. At the time I didn't know that is what he meant. So, I throw on my clothes and jump in my car at 2 in the morning. I proceed to drive about 20 minutes into town (I live near a tourist town and prefer a more peaceful atmosphere to live) and check his house first, then a local bar he frequents and finally another bar where a mutual friend works. I find him there with the friend going over what just transpired. To make a long story short I tell him my side of the story and we find out that she has been lying and using as both. So me and guy one plus the other friend/bartender of the bar we are in decided that we need to leave because he has to close it down. Its now about 4 am and I'm the only sober one of the group. I try to get guy one to have me drive him to his house but he jumps in his car and takes off. So me and the other friend take of after him. He is flying going well above the speed limit and by the luck of our Creator doesn't crash or get pulled over. We end up at his house have a shot of Gentlemen Jack (lol, right?) and he goes to bed with the bottle and some organic vodka. I decided to stay and sleep on the couch (the same one) and wake up the next morning around 9:30 and go get breakfast, socks, and go to work.
Part II coming if anyone is interested...
