that I can’t bring myself to be with her. Damned if I do; damned if I don’t, fuck. 
     
    Rubbing a hand down my face, I know I can’t think like that or I’ll go out of my fucking mind.  I’ll just take one step at a time.  If nothing else I’ll always be honest with her.  I told her I wanted to see her today, what do I want to do?  I need to figure that out before it gets too late.  Maybe I’ll just text her so she can decide where and when tonight. 
    Me : Hi beautiful, I was checking to see how your day is going so far?
    Hearing my belly growl I went into the kitchen to make myself a BLT, and my cell dings with a text message
    Ev : So far my day is ok; how about you?
    Taking a bite outta my sandwich I replied instantly.
    Me : My day is not going fast enough. So when can I see you?  By the way how about you pick the place and the time we meet today.  Anywhere you want.
    I hope she still want us to meet, I just told her I can’t wait to see her.
    Ev: Ok; how about my place say around seven; I’ll text you the address.
    Me: Ok sounds great
    Ev: Just know it’s not what you are used to.
    Me: what’s that supposed to mean?
    Ev: It means I don’t live in a mansion like you do, I live in a trailer park.
    Me : I don’t care about that; I was hoping you would realize that by now.
    Ev: We’ll see right?
    Me: Just text me your address and stop doing that.
    Ev: Doing what?
    Me: You know what I’m talking about.  I’ll see you tonight at seven; waiting for your address.
     
    I’m a little teed that she keeps doing this, I mean come, it’s only money, but it’s like she…I don’t even know.  I’m not going to stress it or jump to conclusions.  I know I’m about to sound like a girl and I don’t want to ruin seeing her with my bad mood, because I’m so looking forward to seeing her later. 
     
    My phone vibrates in my pocket, taking it out I answer, “Hello.” Hearing my best friend Mitch was a relief.  “Hey man?  Just checking to see how it went last night.”
    “It was ok; Ev and I just hung out and talked.”
    “So what’s up with you? What’s going on? I can hear it in your voice something’s up.”
    “Yeah; just wanted to give you a heads up that Chloe is not giving up.”
    “What the hell does she want?”  I asked really not wanting to know shit about her.  “Man I told you that bitch was crazy” he said,
    “I don’t care whatever it is I’m done .”
    “Well like I said she is crazy, she’s acting like you up and br oke her heart and shit.”  I’m done with her, we broke up a while back because I caught her fucking one of my so called friends and she still keeps hounding me thinking I’ll take her back.  She must be fucking out of her mind if she thinks I’ll let her back in my life.  “Hey dude where did you go?”  I guess I zoned out while he was saying something.  “I’m here man, just thinking she must be crazy if she thinks I’m getting back with her.”
    “Well from the shit she is spewing, she not only think s you are getting back together she is planning on it so watch your back.” He warns “What the fuck did you just say?”  I asked wanting to know what the hell she is planning.  He laughs at my reaction “Well isn’t that a fuck… what does…you know what, it doesn’t even matter, she can continue being crazy, because I don’t have time to feed into her shit.”
    “I feel you on that , but like I said just wanted to give you a heads up.”
    “Thanks man…thanks for looking out.” 
    “Come on man, no thanks needed you know I got your back.”
    “Well I have to cut this short because I ’ve got a date with Evelyn tonight.”  He is laughing, because his idea of dating is fucking one night and then bouncing, “Really? Do tell.”
    “Not enough time got to jump in the shower and get ready, but I’ll fill you in later.”
    “Ok man, have fun and I’ll catch you later.”  He laughed on the phone before it went
