Last night seemed like a good one. W came over a little late so we scrapped our dinner plans and had a quick martini at the house instead. Headed over to our friend's house and hung out with our old group. Everybody was so happy to see us together. We got a lot of comments about it. That was good. It wasn't awkward, for most of the night we had a great time.
After a few hours W snuck off for about 10 minutes at one point and people started asking where she was. There is a big shop on the property and one of our friends went down there and found her inside on the phone. The shop was dark and the doors were all closed so I got the impression she was trying to hide to make her call. I think I know who she called... That made me feel bad but I tried not to let it show. Didn't work W caught on that I was feeling down about something. I was on the phone when she reappeared and when I hung up she asked who I was talking to. I told her but then she said "I've got to stop asking you things like that. I don't have the right to know anymore." I shot a 'reality dart' back with a smile on my face "No worries. It's not like I have anything to hide." Then I must have looked at her a little too long with a coy expression because after I said it she asked if we needed to go talk. I said sure and we went off alone and had a talk. It wasn't going anywhere good. She asked if I was upset about her disappearing. I said I wasn't. She asked what was wrong then. I said I didn't want to have this conversation. I told her not to worry about me. I said "Focus on doing what makes you happy. I want you to be happy." We left it at that and returned to our friends. Unfortunately, that kind of ruined the mood so we left shorty after that.
W had a few to many to drive so I drove her car back to her place. Earlier I had arranged for a friend who was going out to pick me up from her place and take me out with him. We got back to her place, sat on the couch, watched TV and talked. I gave her a footrub while we were sitting there. That made her happy. After I finished she curled up next to me with a blanket and rested her feet on my lap. I felt nice to be close again.
After being there for an hour and a half my friend calls and said that the plans had changed and he couldn't make it out. W let me take her car back to my house. This morning I took it back to her and we went out for coffee and breakfast. When she dropped me off she came in and hung out for a while. Didn't really have any meaningful conversation though. Before she left she mentioned she was going to the car wash, but wanted to use my shop vac to vacuum her car. I'm such a push over and way to available... While she vacuumed I Armor Alled the entire inside of the car. It's a brand new car and was squeaky clean to begin with so I figured the only reason she would make it even cleaner would be to show it off to her friends later. I need to get OM off the brain because I'm thinking that's who she's going to show it to. Why am I so paranoid about this? It's got to stop... at least W and I are still progressing very well in our friendship.
That's the latest, just wanted to update you all on our night together.
