Well, H was in the hospital for what was supposed to be outpatient surgery. Didn't quite turn out that way. He ended up staying for a week. So after our little discussion on the phone about me not being able to come up there and see him, I just played it real cool.
I called him everyday just to see how he was and our interactions were very nice. He talked a lot about what was happening at the hospital and a few things about what's been going on in his life...nothing about OW of course...but about other things...work...family...stuff like that. It was real cool and I'm glad I didn't harp on the not visiting him thing. Held my tongue real good...THANKS DB!!!!
Well after calling him everyday for almost a week, on Friday I made a vow to myself that I would not call him anymore cuz I didn't want to wear out my welcome...know what I mean? So I didn't call him at all Friday. Well guess who called me??? Yup he sure did...at about 4:00pm. Since the beginning of all this it had been one of my goals to have H call me at least once a week. FINALLY...a year later...I got a call!!!! and it was Da' Bomb!!!!
I was still at work but we had a REALLY nice conversation. He seems to be loosening up around me even more. But this gonna snap yo' head back....so we talkin' right and he started talking about this dog that this guy is giving away. It's a pit bull and at one time we both wanted a dog like this but it never seemed the right time. Well H is going on and on about this dog and how he would really love to get the dog from the guy but bcuz he just moved into an apartment he can't have pets. I'm like...yeah that happens. So get this....H says, "Yeah I really wish I could get him. It would GIVE ME AN INCENTIVE TO COME HOME." (Screeeeech!!! Hold up...you mean all I had to do was buy a damn dog for you to come home???) Naw...I didn't say that but what I did say was, "What you mean an incentive to come home? Don't you go home?" He started backtracking and stumbling on about "Yeah I come home but...." I'm just listening like 'damn'...so things ain't all that rosey in Hootchie Land, huh?
But I didn't say anything about his comment other than that. Mainly cuz I reallly didn't know how to take it. I didn't want to assume he meant 'come home to me'. But that's how I'm taking it
Anyway, all in all, pretty good episode this time. Wonder what the next episode is going to bring???
