Estranged Together

~Chapter three:Part1~

AP–The next morning, I awoke to find a letter from Tasha on my hallway floor. I didn’t hear the mailman as I would every morning because I slept in a bit. I’m usually up by seven and out the house by nine. Because of Bette’s party, I ended up calling in and deciding to do some shopping with Tina. She left me a message saying that she wanted me to meet her at the mall around one. Her voice appeared different to me. She sounded alive and well rested…I’m surprised! She’s usually sour and bitter, but today she was different, she was free of something. Now, about Tasha’s letter…I don’t know if I’ll read it. The way we ended our night on the beach, it hurt me so much, that I think it’s best to leave our relationship where it’s at–no where. I don’t believe I can stay and watch her leave me every two weeks for a month at times, to go off and fight in some battle I came to dishonor in the beginning. I’m going to stay grounded and stick this one out. I hate to have to choose like this, but I have feelings too. So, if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. Now, what’s for breakfast…I mean lunch rather?

BP–I was in the kitchen when I heard my cell phone ringing. All I could think about was Tina and what time was good for me to drop off Angie. Our agreement, Tina and mine, is that I’m to have Angie three times a week, which is Saturday, Tuesday, and Thursday. She’s suppossed to have Angie tonight and the timing was perfect, because I had booked reservations for me and Jodi at Stevie’s. It’s a nice greek restaurant with a lot of entrees. I believe she’ll enjoy their tender grilled chicken breast, down to their three layer double fudge chocolate cake–my favorite. Thinking of food makes me hungry and it made it harder to sucker into something light for now, without having to think about chicken all day. The reservations are booked for six and it’s now after twelve. So, hopefully that’s her. I retrieve my cell phone with Tina’s name displayed on the caller id.
