Nik! Thank you so much...you don't know how much I appreciate this! I left her a message on her voicemail...hopefully I'll hear back next week.
Little update....I was visiting my Dad day before yesterday. H had D and calls on my cell to tell me he is going to visit my dad for about 30 minutes before he brings D home. I let him know I am AT my dads...I ask him if he would like me to leave...he says no...do you not want me to come? I say...no it's no problem, I just didn't want to make you uncomfortable. He says...oh..no I won't be. So he comes over...sits next to me on the couch...we have coffee with my dad. It was a nice visit...it felt natural...and good.
Then yesterday he calls me at work to tell me he will be working a 16 hour shift tomorrow (which is now today). Anyway, I remember him telling me that his bro was coming to help him install shelves in his garage to store his stuff so I mention it. He says..."no..changed my mind...I don't have the money right now to buy the supplies and besides they're only temporary". Anyway, he also says he has to go buy a birthday gift for a friend and D won't be going with him tonight since she is babysitting so he will go to bed early. I tell him have a good night and if he's bored call me as after work I will be home.
Sooo...I had a 4:00 meeting with my boss and she asks if I want to do dinner. I have nothing else to do so I accept. We go to a restaurant, eat dinner and have a couple of margaritas...the conversation with her was really good...as it turns out she and I have a lot in common so we go to the bar downstairs from the restaurant when we are done eating. No big deal...we just had one more drink and continue to chat. Around 9:00...I look at my cell phone and notice 2 missed calls from H. I take my boss back to her car...and call H on his cell. No answer. About 20 minutes goes by and I can barely say hello when he says "oh..I only called because I forgot D was babysitting and I wanted to tell her goodnight". Okay seriously...we talked around 4:00 about D babysitting and he called cell phone twice and there was one missed call at home. Now don't you think after the first call...if you really did forget...you would think to yourself..."ohhhhhhh that's right D is babysitting which is why she's not with me tonight"?????? Whatever...anyway...he was kind of short with me...seemed irritated about something. I was kinda buzzed so I told him I was feeling frisky...and asked him what he thought about that. He said....I am tired. I said that's fine...just wondering if you cared I have needs (I did not say it in a pathetic way...I was being flirtatious). So he says...yeah I do care..sometimes. I say..."well I know you are tired and have a long day ahead of you...have a great nights rest". He says thanks and we hang up.
This rollercoaster ride is so interesting. I miss him still.
