Not much contact this week, at least not the nightly phone calls. I had a great weekend hanging out with friends at a Fantasy Football draft (Go Cowboys!).
Saturday morning, I get a call from W's area code. I picked up thinking it might be her. It wasn't.
Little background (can't remember if I've gone over this):
W found an incredible deal on a house on Craigslist. She lives with another female roommate in a brand new house. The "landlord" bought a second house closer to Houston. Didn't like his commute, supposedly. Jaquir has way too much money, but is cool guy. The house is fully furnished, but it all belongs to a former roommate who went to prison on drug charges. Jaquir told us this guy owes him a lot of rent money, so he's keeping the stuff.
Saturday morning, a week ago, a dude rolls up in a Mercedes and knocks on the door, asking "is Jaquir here?" I didn't think anything of it, told him that Jaquir got a new house, and rents this one to some new tenants. "Oh, I used to be a tenant here, and I'm here to pick up my stuff". Definitely an oh sh-t moment. Jaquir, roommate, and former roommate are all black, not to be racist but the story might make more sense.
I wasn't expecting the dude, named James, to get out of prison and roll up in a Mercedes. I told him to call Jaquir and work it out, that I couldn't let him take the stuff, all the while acting like I was a tenant, not wanting him to know that two women live there. I also gave him my phone number. Supposedly, Jaquir took care of it, told James to not come by again.
Fast forward to Saturday morning. "Hi, this is James, I'm almost to the house to pick up my stuff". Oh sh-t #2. He never talked to Jaquir. Jaquir is a liar and I shouldn't listen to him, he needs his stuff back.
I called W immediately, she didn't pick up the first few times, then got mad at me for talking to James. Supposedly, it's handled now, and W is fine.
Never mind that her "too good to be true" house deal has put her in the middle of an f-ing drug deal situation. She's an extremely sheltered girl who's getting a bit of reality. Fortunately, she lives in a nice neighborhood less than a mile from her parents.
Can someone please turn off this soap opera now?
