Yes, cute, long hair, pretty, great smile Crisy? Yes. He answered
Can you imagine him agreeing and going further to describe her. What's was that?
I let that go and went further
Who is she to you?
A very great friend, he answered.
No, why would you think that? He asked.
I don't know, maybe it's because she talks about you like you are her boyfriend. She has the same card I have and oh she has the same pin as well.
Well yes
Well yes what? I asked.
Yes to everything you said. But I am not cheating on you with her. He answered.
That didn't even make any sense to me. At that point I wasn't sure if I preferred him telling me the truth or lying to me.
I just sat there with my mouth opened. Then he asked what's the problem?
Are you serious? You don't think there is a problem. Do you give a card to all the people you meet?
No, he answered. Only people I love who agree to love me back.
OK so she is your ex girlfriend?
No she is not, we are still great friends like we have always been.
Do you spend time with her?
Yes as much time as I spend with you
What? Are you kidding me?
Fine, I don't want you to spend that much time with her.
Why he asked? Don’t I give you all the attention you want?
I am your girlfriend now, I screamed at him and took off.
I got to the door and remembered that I still had his card which I took out and drew at him. Then slammed the door and left.
That was a terrible day for me. I thought Jay loved me. How could he have allowed me fall in love with him knowing he was going to hurt me. I sobbed on my bed for a couple of hours and woke up to find 20 missed calls on my phone. And a message which indicated that Jay wanted us to meet and talk about everything that happened the night before. I ignored him for a couple of days but I missed him the whole time. And his efforts to see me and hear me talk to him baffled me. He would come to my house and wait for hours until he was sure I wouldn't let him in. Whilst there and even away he would call and text countless times. I knew he loved me so I wanted to give him another chance. I agreed to meet with him on a set date and time to talk. I was quite satisfied about the way everything turned out and we were back to being tight. He said he was not cheating on me and that Crisy was a very good friend of his. She having the card didn't mean anything, he wanted to help her as well. She will not have any influence on us so I should not be bothered and just trust him. He dropped me off that night and before I got out of the car, I asked if I could have the card back. He smiled and took it out of his pocket to give to me.
Our relationship was flourishing, he was doing everything that I needed but not everything I wanted. I was working on a project which I needed him to help me with so that I could finish on time. I knew he was busy working on other things but I wanted him to drop all those things for me. Those projects were mine as well so what was the big deal. He said he wasn't going to hold off on those projects but would still help me out. That wasn't good enough, I needed to finish at a specified time. I have to say that Jay was very rich because all the purchases for the project were made with the card.
I guess he not doing everything that I wanted was fair because I also didn't do all that he wanted. For instance, he wanted us to spend more time together but I wouldn't because I had to make time for Ed who was beginning to suspect that I was spending time with someone else. I wouldn't dress as decently as he wanted. And I cut my hair even though he wanted me to keep it long because Ed wanted it short.
I was always torn between pleasing both of them because they always wanted different things. Since I was taking money from them I had to try to please them both which was quite fustrating. I wanted Jay to get me a new place in a locality which I wanted before the year ended but he refused. He wanted to do that the following year at a different location. I knew the card wouldn't work if I tried to use it for that so I went to Ed.
Ed wanted to help me only if I allowed him to touch me and kiss me because I never allowed him to do that. Since I badly wanted it, I agreed. No sex I insisted and he agreed. This discussion was made on phone so he said he was going to come over to my place. That was OK with me because I had told Jay that I was quite tired and wanted to relax. Ed came to my place and he started doing his thing. But before he could go any further I asked him to give me the money. He gave me some money, however, not all that I asked for with the explanation that he was going to land a much bigger contract and would give me the rest the following week.
Yea right. I thought . Ed went on to do what he has yearned to do since I met him. And the whole time I was trying to get Jay out of my mind. I was enjoying it as well and before I knew it the touching and kissing had gone overboard and clothes were coming off.
I knew I had to put a stop to it but I couldn't. Then there was a knock and the door flew open. It was my neighbour who wanted to find out if I heard about the arrest of our landlord. But the entire scenario was quite embarrassing to find me half naked with a man. She was apologising when my darling Jay came to the door.
She excused herself and left me to my fate. If the earth could open up I will gladly fall into it. Ed didn't seem bothered because he knew Jay was just a friend but I could see the hurt on Jay's face. Ed dressed up and left.
I can explain, I said. I couldn't believe these words were coming out of my mouth. Only cheats use those words in movies and now it's like I was being casted in my own movie.
He gently closed the door behind him and came close to me. He helped me put my dress on and buttoned it. I could see tears fall from his face and that made my cry. I kept saying to him that I was sorry. I saw him look down on the couch to see the money. He took, it counted and put it back. He wiped the tears of my face and told me that it was OK.
I watched him pace the room not sure of what the next move was. He was just about saying something when Ed opened the door walked straight to me and took the money off the couch.
You whore, Jay is your boyfriend isn't he? Ed went on, I have been watching everything from your window. You wanted my money right. You ugly brat, I am glad I used you. I didn't even love you , there are better girls I could go for, much classy ones. Cheap girl....
Hold it. That's enough, Jay screamed at him. You will not talk to her that way. She may not mean anything to you but she means the world to me. She is pretty and classy, of course not by your definition because you don't even know what that means. She may look used now but not for long. You were a mistake and I am glad you are no longer in her life. Would you leave and gently close the door behind you.
Of course Ed banged the door after raining insults on Jay. I broke down and wept because the man I just cheated on defended me as if I had done nothing wrong. He consoled me but I knew he was hurting very much.
The words he said to me are words I still hold on to
'You would have to learn to be content and satisfied. You will walk an endless journey with your eyes and your desires. I knew you were seeing Ed but I thought you will let him go after all the love I show you. I did everything for you and gave you everything you needed. If it was good for you, you had it. If you loved me, you would have trusted me and trusted my choices for you knowing how much I loved you. You are rich because you have all that is mine. But you go about begging because you want to satisfy your cravings with things that will only hurt and harm you. Can you learn to live on the card? On all that money and pamper yourself with all the good things you can get with it. Please walk not with your eyes but with your heart since I am in there.'
Please forgive me, I will live only on the card. He smiled at me and assured me that he had forgiven me. His smile made me smile as well. We had a long chat and I went off to bed but he said he was going to stay in the living room till morning just to make sure that I would be fine.
How cool is that. Jay was awesome. I slept like a baby even after that shameful event and sluggishly walked to the Living room to see my sweet Jay. I heard laughter on my way there and it wasn't just Jay. There was a woman with him. I got there to find Jay and Crisy laughing their hearts out about something I was sure I didn't even want to know. Jay had made breakfast, served Crisy.
Oh! he had made a plate for me as well. But seriously was this pay back time or what.
What was Crisy doing in my house with him?
They were fully dressed but still.......
