Vinson Reynolds – Final Chapter
Vince….
Well, God sure did answer my prayers. In the most unexpected and disappointing way. I did see Vince again. He sent me a message on myspace. This all happened about a year ago. It was around Christmas time. He sent me a message saying that we should get together and talk sometime. Of Course, I was all excited, hoping that he has finally seen the light and had changed is ways. He said that he was coming into town and we could talk after he got in from the plane ride. He asked if I could pick him up from the airport and ,of course, I agreed without hesitation.
The day finally came for me to pick him up from the airport. I was so abrehensive and nervous and excited all at the same time. I picked him up. He looked the same maybe a little less muscular and more fat but same skin complexion. I loved the way he dresses too!. Its so grown up…yet very street too. He knows how to play both worlds. And that’s a quality I look for in any man I am attracted to. He said that he had been coaching in Wisconson for the past year as the line men coach while pursuing his master’s degree. I was really surprised at how different he sounded. In school he always seem kinda dumb or had that classic "Football Jock" mentality about him. But now, he sounded educated, still cocky but "smart" I started to like him even more (if that was even possible) but was on guard because it seemed as if anytime Vince contacted me he always needed something from me. And as I later found out… this time was no different…
THE REAL REASON… Vinson asked to talk to me was becasue he needed a ride… from the airport to where he left his car…at a friend’s house near where I lived. And he offered to take me to dinner for the favor..So we went to "Cracker Barrel" restaurant on the way out to his friends. The dinner was ok…Looking back I wish I wasn’t so quiet and said what was EXACTLY on my mind…and I also wish i would have picked a more expensive restaurant because my favor did cost way more than his….(Yeah, I will learn one day) But I think that Vince knows me. And he knows how much I like him sand that I will do just about anything for him so he uses that to his advantage.
So we ate, he talked the most…and I dropped him off at his friends..But not before offering to go to the movies and then to my house..But for some reason, I turned him down..I didn’t want to go there with him again and fall back into where I was 5 (GOD. now 5) years earlier.
But when I got home, I changed my mind and called him to come over ( I couldn’t resist). But it was too late…He was on his way headed to Dekalb. The he had a flight home to Detroit/New Jersey (whichever) afterwards.. I regretted that later… But he was coming back through Chicago aftter his trip..around New Years….and he said that we would get together then…
New Years Day 2008….This New Years was pretty exciting for me #1 this was probably the first New Years I had someone special to celebrate with. Around this time I was also dating Kurtys as well. (Boy, I have to write a novel about what happened with him!) And #2 the possibility of seeing Vinson again. So New Years day came and I had over booked myself…I made plans to attend a New Years party threw by my BF boyfriend with Kurtys by my side, go to Church with Dana, and see Vinson later on….Lol…that night was horrible! I ended up going to Church with Dana…Kurtys and I never got together because he was a manintence man for this small apartment compex and it snowed ALL NIGHT on New Years Eve so he spent ALL NIGHT removing snow from the sidewalks and streets. So I decided to just go with Dana to Church…It snowed s much that night all i wanted to do was get home because I drive a rear wheel drive car and I hate driving it in the snow….Later on after Church….Vince called me but I was so DISAPPOINTED about Kurtys…I didn’t answer and I just cried and fell asleep. Now…thinking back I think I should have took Vince to the party but I think at the end of the night I would have still ended up DISAPPOINTED….like I would be a couple days later….
A few days later Vince called me again.Now by now I knew he must have been really horney becasue he NEVER called me this much..not even in college. So somehow I ended up agreeing to going out to dinner with him again and I ened up agreeing to pay because he had paid the last time we went out. (What the F%$! was I thinking???) so, We agreed to meet up at Outback or some resaturant like that.. I was about an hour late becasue it was snowing and again,..I drive a rear wheel drive car so I drive EXTRA slow in the snow…I had half a mind to not go and just stand him up.. Get him back for all the pain, hurt, disappointment, tears, he had caused me over the years but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I am a firm believer in KARMA so I kelpt my promise and made it there even though I was an hour late. When I got there, Vince was there, his plate of food all gone..looking as lonely as ever/. I must admitt it felt al little good to make him wait. SO we ate, we talked and then he followed me home…
When we got to my house I introduced him to my roomate..I was a little eager to introduce them because I had always mentioned Vince to her and that night was the first night she was able to put a face to the name. Next, we dressed in our night clothes and got in the bed and watched TV. It felt a little like an old married couple getting in bed after a long day. It was nice to have him there, of course. Because after college I thought I would never see him again. We talked and I must admitt I was eager to "get on with it" I wanted to see if he was everything I had remembered and still imagined to this day. I wanted to see if he was as special as I remembered or was it just because he was my first. Then Finally, he cut off the TV and the lights slipped on a condomn (Vince, had became unexpectedly responsible, which at the time made me like him even more). Then he laid on top of me…Woww….it felt, I always looved his body, it was smooth, good skin, not hairy at all….But that’s where it ends….
It wasn’t like I remembered….(LOL) I guess I was pumping him up in my head all these years for no reason….
It actually made me like Kurtys even more…I think I called him the next day….A few months after (around Valentine’s day) Vince was in town again…He called and wanted me to come over…
I never called him back….
