No Title Yet . . .

Okay, so I didn’t light the candle.  So sue me.  However, I did fill my ears with John songs from 10:50 till about 11:15.

Basically, I took a walk around nine and walked to the edge of the Staples parking lot.  I was figuring I could watch and find out when everyone left.  Then I could try calling Rob again if he hadn’t called me back.

Well, I didn’t stay there and wait, I walked there, left, came back to the house, and sat down.  My mom was still on the phone at the time and we have caller ID now, so when I heard her, "Oh, hang on, there’s another call," I stood up, hoping.  I didn’t hope in vain.  It was Rob and she asked if he could call me on my cell.  She gave him the number and I went outside cuz inside the house, my phone has absolutely no reception.

Sure enough, ten seconds or so later, my phone rings and I answered it.  We said hi and he asked why I’d called.  I said I wanted to know if we could meet up to talk.  He said not tonight and I said that was okay, just at some point soon.  He said he didn;t know if he was comfortable with that, and then said something about . . . I forget how he phrased it, but I think it was something about "things with you and Mike."  I sighed and told him, "Look, there is no me and Mike.  There hasn’t been for a long time.  He doesn’t control who I hang out with, and I certainly don’t need his permission to see a friend."  And I don’t remember where I said this, but I told him, "I don’t want to lose you as a friend."

And I remember smiling because he said he didn’t want to lose me, either.  Or he could have said/meant he didn’t want to lose either me or Mike.  But either way, I still think it’s smile-worthy.

Anyway, there was more said, but I’ll leave that till tomorrow.  He said that we could probably hang out for a bit and that he’d call tomorrow.  So yeah.  I’m waiting for that.  This entire thing’ll be settled then and I’ll know whether I’m going to remain single, or whether I’ll have a relationship.  And Mike’ll know whether he needs to avoid Rob for awhile or not.  I hate that he feels he has to do that if Rob and I did get together, though.

Well, I’ll add more tomorrow.
