Whip City part 2 (warning: LONG)

So where did i leave off… *checks back*

Oh yeah, SoHa. So Tuesday night at school was uneventful. The fifth years were welding at the plumber’s hall in Springfield. I think I went to Silks on Tuesday, but i cannot for the life of me remember with who.

Thursday rolls around and we have a test. Then we sit around and do nothing for a little bit and i inform Mike that the fifth years have left so we should leave too. So he tells us all to go stand in the hall way and has us come in one by one and tell him what we think our class participation grade should be for the year. When it’s my turn, I just walk in and the kid before me is grabbing his stuff and leaving. i wait till he walks out and then I walk over towards Mike and say, ’90’. He’s like, ‘yeah thats what i gave you.’ I said, ‘i should get a good grade, i slept with the teacher…’ and he makes some wise ass remark. So I bounce out of there and head to Silks.

Its me, Nate, Colin, Steve, Justin (who was leaving when i got there), Matt, Mike, Bill, Kevin, Kyle… I think im forgetting someone… Anywho, Kyle invited this chick he works with up, named Aimee, and she was SO COOL. We actually got along really well and exchanged numbers. I think its good for me to have more girlfriends. Matt invited his buddy Scott, whom we’ve all met on various occasions. So we’re all drinking and playing pool and hanging out… and Colin is being his usual touchy feely self. And I feel weird about it because Nate is there and i would rather be paying attention to him… but he hasn’t really acknowledged me the way I thought he would. So i flirt back with Colin but keep it on the easy side. And then when people started to thin out, Nate came out of his shell a little bit. At one point, the three of us are standing in that segregated pool room and Colin says something about a three some and I just laugh and push him and walk away.

So the night is winding down and most everyone has gone and I get a phone call from Matt telling me that he left his tab open (again, this has happened before lol) so i asked if he had a card down there and he said he did. I asked if it was okay to put his tab on his card, sign for the bill, and hold onto his card. He said thats why he was calling. So I went down and closed his tab and my tab and at some point in time I said to Nate that we needed to try to get rid of Colin and he agreed. So we all went outside and i happened to be parked next to colin and nate was across from us. We chatted for a few minutes and then Nate gets in his truck and flies off. So I get into my car and Colin starts his truck and then has my passenger door open and is talking to me. Says something about being second choice now… mentions something about never getting married… tells me that im pretty and stuff like that. I think i kissed him and then i left. I had a text from Nate saying that he was going back to the school and a voicemail that said the same thing. So I drove back to the school and behind the building and he had already left. So I was pulling out of the parking lot and a cop drove by me. Thankfully he didnt do a 180 and come back to see what the hell i was doing pulling out of Smith Vocational at 2am. So I think i called nate, but neither of us are sure and then drove home, apparently made Ramen noodles, and then went to bed.

I was an hour late for work. Not too much of a big deal… At one point I texted Colin saying, "You are a trooper if you got up and went to work this morning." and he replied with, "I did. and I was early." So I said, "I vaguely remember you feeding me a bunch of lines of bs last night…" "I vividly remember you shutting me down last night… and it wasn’t bs." Then i said nothing for a little while and i get another text from him that says, "Look i said i probably shouldn’t have gotten married. I know that if I wasnt you would be banging me." And i put two and two together… Colin was sincerely convinced (and upset) that the reason I hadn’t had sex with him was because he was married. I had never really thought about that before and I actually felt bad that he distressed over this for even a second. So I told him, "Colin to be perfectly honest that has nothing to do with anything. I’ve asked myself a hundred times why I had never had sex with you and each time I don’t have a reason." He said he could live with that. I continued my statement saying, "And besides, if you weren’t married, who knows how things would be? Im sure you’d be banging some hot broad." And he responds with, "I am trying to bang a hot broad. YOU." And again, I was very taken back by the whole thing.

Saturday morning I had my 8 hour safe driving course that i had to take because of my accident. When I got home from that I was going to go jogging but was too excited to go see Nate, so i just got my clothes ready for a shower. I texted Nate saying that I was getting in the shower and that I would text him when I got out. He said okay and I got in the shower and then proceeded to straighten my hair. I decided not to text Nate and just got all my shit together and hopped in the car. My intent was to stop at Matt’s house in Southampton to drop off his credit card and then drive the 15 minutes to nate’s house from there (it was on the way anyways). So I call Nate and see what he’s up to and he tells me that he is going to his friend’s house for a BBQ. And I said, "Oh, then I should turn around?" And he goes, "Yeah! You said you would text when you got out of the shower, i didnt know that would be a whole hour. I replied with, "It takes a lot to make this face pretty." And he laughed at me and told me that he would be home around 8:30-9:00 and I could meet him at his place then. It was currently like 5:45 so I told him that I was just going to drive out there now and that I would be able to find something to do. So im driving on the mass pike and decided to call matt to see if he was home. No answer. So then I called Mike. No answer. My last resort was Kevin, who had called both Matt and I earlier in the day. Kevin is okay… in small doses. He’s very intense and in your face kind of… but i didnt have another choice. So now Im about a mile away from Matt’s exit and my phone rings and its him. I tell him im just about to get off at his exit and he asks me if i wanted to meet he and his friend dan at this little bar/restaurant called ‘Opa Opa’ I told him sure, if he didnt mind. and he said not at all. So I am waiting in Opa Opa’s parking lot for like 10 minutes and my phone rings again. "You’re going to hate me" and I told matt i would never hate him. He goes, ‘we dont want to go to Opa Opa because it sucks." I told him that i thought it was weird he wanted to go in the first place, I knew he didnt like that place. So he said they were going to this bar called Whip City instead which is about 5 miles in the other direction. No problems, i had time to kill. So i drove to that other bar and waited for about another 15 minutes and then the three of us went inside. The drinks were SO cheap. Two draft beers and my gin and pepsi was $5.50. Classy. That’s like $12 at Silks. So We each had four drinks and then Nate texted me saying he was on his way home so I thanked Matt and Dan for the good time and left.

I was SO excited. The drive was only like

10 or 15 minutes. In fact I beat Nate there. So I get out of the car with just a cigarette and I tell him I have a lot of shit in my car to bring in the house. He says he’ll help me and immeadetly starts making out with me. Im soooo happy that this is how the night is going to go. So I finish my smoke and he helps me grab my shit out of the car and we head inside. Me make drinks and Nate pops ‘Eagle Eye’ into the DVD player. We’re both already feeling pretty good so the drinks are a little strong. But they go down nice. We’re just talking (okay, im doing a lot of talking) and some heavy making out. Mmmm… I remember at one point he stood up and took his shirt off and leaned down and kissed me. h.o.l.y s.h.i.t

At one point we were outside smoking a cigarette and i told him about something my dad had done the other day. He’s an avid outdoorsman and he was off roading in his work truck and decided to gun it through a mud puddle and there ended up being a huge unseeable rock in the middle of said mud puddle. Needless to say, it stopped the truck like a brick wall and my old man hit is face off the steering wheel and either bruised or cracked some ribs. Yeah. I was really upset about all of this. I was even more upset that I heard it accidently from my brother on friday night and my dad never said anything to me. Im all for my dad doing stuff… but why does he have to go out and do stupid shit like that? Anyways i had finished telling Nate the story and I was upset about the whole thing so I was jsut kind of quiet. So we start heading back into the house and Nate starts talking about something else and then i just mumbled an agreeance and he says, "im sorry… you were trying to be all deep with me." and i said it was fine and kissed him. Then we sat on the couch and continued what we were doing. The next time we were going to go outside I said, "im going to get really deep on you again." He said okay and we went outside.

I started by explaining that I had joined the gym last year because i thought that if i was paying for it that it would keep me on the right track to losing a lot of weight. Obviously it hadnt worked. And then i told him about how the night that we closed Silks made me decide that I wanted to be able to get guys like him. It motivated me. And he’s been my motivation ever since. I also asked him what his deal was. If he was just doing his single thing right now or if there was a chance for this to become something more. I asked if I was pushing my luck with that question and I should just enjoy this for what it was. He basically told me that he wasn’t good in relationships and that he was just doing his thing. And that’s fine by me, i just would rather know then be fooled. I told him that he was still my motivation and I was going to continue dropping the weight and chase after him.

Needless to say we had mind blowing sex. Afterwards I say, "i want a cigarette but im too lazy to go outside" and flopped onto the bed. Nate goes, "And i dont want to put any clothes on." "I dont want you too either" and i giggled. I think he threw on some boxer briefs and a wife beater. The windows in Nate’s living room and bedroom are overly tall. Like, they almost touch the floor. So we opened up one of the ones in the bedroom and let in this nice cool breeze. I sat, indian style on the floor, smoking a butt, and Nate sat right behind me and wrapped himself around me. I leaned against him and looked out the window. I think I repeated the fact that I was going to chase after him still. At one point he said that he didn’t know how much longer he was going to be around. I asked where he was going and he said, "Some of us are planning on moving where the work is…" And i inquired where that was and he said, "like Vegas. Or Washington state… We’re going to work for ourselves. And you’re more then welcome to come with us…" This was a drunk rambling, i dont know how much of this part was actually true. But it was sounding sweet and outlandish all at the same time.

Ha. At one point Nate told me that Colin said to him that he is supposed be pushing me into that threesome. Weird.

So we went to bed around 4:30 and the next time I opened my eyes it was nine something. I couldnt believe i actually slept, even though it didnt really feel like i did. We were just hanging out on the couch and he was giving me the same hugs and kisses on top of the head that he was giving me last time. Then at one point he went into the kitchen and all i hear it "What the fuck?!" and i figure one of the kittens pee’d n the floor or spilled something so i just turned my head towards the kitchen and said, "What?" and he goes, "Why are there dishes in my fucking sink still?" And i started dying laughing and went into the kitchen to tell him he was an asshole. So we hung out until about 11:30 and then I drove home.

That night was game night and Danielle met me at my house then we went grocery shopping for her work and then she and i went to dinner (my first real meal in like two weeks). Then she and I went to Becky’s house where she and Brandy were waiting for us. We finally had four for game night! It’s been just Danielle and I for months so this was really nice. Nate and I ended up texting. I think he actually started it by saying his back hurt or something and that ‘my floor still hasn’t been moped’ lol. I love this little joke. Oh and I had done his dishes when he was in the shower anyways.

So that would have been the end of this story but now i have something else:

I got out of work at like 5:00 last night and it just happened to be the first Monday of the month. That meant there was a Union Meeting at the hall. I had never gone to one but first year apprentices are encouraged to come and sit and watch. We aren’t allowed to speak or vote because we aren’t technically in the Union yet. So I texted Colin, Nate, Bill, Dan, Matt, and Mike to see if any of them were going. Mike said no, he’s having beef with the hall now because he never put his name back on the book so he thinks he will be dropping out in the next month or so, after school is over. Dan said he had to wake up early the next morning for work so he wasnt going. Nate wasnt going because he hadnt paid his dues. Matt was working till 7:30 and the meeting starts at 7:00. Colin never answered and Bill said yes. So i asked him to wait outside for me.

I got there just in time and we went in and sat with kevin. Colin, Steve, and Justin were sitting behind us and Colin would NOT make eye contact with me at all. It was a long meeting (like 2 hours) but it was very interesting to me.

I wasnt going to go out afterwards, but when i was walking to my car i sent steve and colin a text asking if they were going out. I went and sat in my car for a second to see if one of them answers and steve comes and opens my door and says "what? you can’t stand with the rest of us?" and i laughed and he continues to say, "Are you going to O’brien’s or what?" and i said "yeah, i just texted you that" and he confirms on his phone that i did text him that.

So i get to obrien’s before everyone else and end up sitting there by myself for a half an hour. I get pissed, thinking ive been duped. Turns out the fuckers were there on the other side of the ba

r so when i found them, i joined them and sat next to Steve. It was me, Steve, Red, Colin, Mark, Dennis, and another Colin. So at one point I ask Steve if he wants to go have a smoke and as we walk by Colin he asks if we’re going to smoke and i tell him yes and he follows us outside. I think he said to me, once we were outside, ‘You got me in trouble.’ Long story short, he never erased the texts messages i was talking about earlier. The "I should have probably never gotten married and you would be banging me" and "I am trying to bang a hot broad, you" texts. Apparently his wife saw them in his phone. Obviously he fucked up. And the worst part? She saw them on Sunday. Which means they had been sitting in his phone since Friday. So im guess this is why he didnt answer any of my texts. He told me that he was going to tell me to not go to O’brien’s that night because he ‘isn’t allowed to talk to me anymore’. Fair enough. But he also needs to realized he is the one who sent me the dirty texts. Im glad i didnt say anything bad back!

So i kept saying that i was ‘beat’ with him now and he said… ‘eh… not beat i guess. You just cant contact me anymore’. Not a huge loss i guess. I do really like Colin as a person though. Then we went back inside and i kept glancing over at him and he would wink at me and smile. He’s such a devil, really.

So that’s about it. I won’t see Nate until Thursday because the fifth years are going to be at the plumber’s hall in springfield again… I didnt end up exercising at all the past 3 days (today makes 4) byt ill be going jogging tomorrow. I’ll be skinny if it kills me…
