On Friday night, Jewel called me from a different number. I answered and she asked if she could borrow my truck. I was shocked at the nerve of such a request. Thankfully, my truck is out of town. Otherwise I might have said yes and made myself look like a doormat. We talked for like 30 minutes about nothing. I missed her but I didn't tell her. I felt so taken advantage of.
Last week, I became interested in this girl Broadway. Broadway works at the clinic where I am going for physical therapy. She started there a month or two ago and we became fast friends. But I knew she had a boyfriend. And I knew that Broadway just barely graduated from high school. So last week, Broadway informed me that she had dumped her boyfriend. We flirted more than usual and I seriously considered asking her on a date. I felt as if Broadway wanted me to ask her on a date. The thing is, age is just a number, right? Over the past seven or eight years, people have said to me "Tripp, you can't go out with that girl, she is too young!" Every one of those girls is now married and most of them have kids. So what is stopping me from asking Broadway out? Although the age difference really doesn't bother me in the least, I worry that it might bother her. And her parents, since she still lives at home. But I don't feel like it should bother either of them. I am young at heart and very responsible. Plus, what parents wouldn't want their daughter to date an attorney with a sweet mullet?
I think that the only reason Jewel called you was to talk to you. I don't think she really even wanted to borrow your truck, but it was just a good excuse. She misses the attention you gave her now that it is gone. She knew that if she dialed from her number you wouldn't answer so she used a different one. I think she is a sneaky rat!
ReplyDeleteOkay working on catching up: I don't know much about this Jewel character, but I don't think I am going to like her as I work my way through your posts.
ReplyDeleteA recent high school grad?...I mean I think that age is not as big of a deal as people make it out to be but I would think that you & an 18 year old girl would not have a lot in common & would be at very different stages (life & maturity wise) but who knows! Maybe you need someone who is at a different stage life & maturity wise!
