i pick up the phone L says she wants to come back to LI, im still a little upset from what happened just an hour earlier, i soften and say o k. i turn the phone back to Betty , L is talking to Betty, Betty says to me Pack L says she"ll come back over only if you"ll take that frown off your face. ( oh gee why should i frown she only walked out on me!!! ) see guys you cant win !!. sure i"ll get rid of the frown .
an hour later L arrives we all go in to watch the game, we order food , talk . everything is going pretty good then Betty and L start talking and once again i'm the subject and once again shes pointing the finger almost repeating the conversations we had earlier that morning. i cant believe we are rehashing this stuff...this is getting old fast. im trying to be cool and calm once again explaining my side of this situation. at one point all us gringos went out by the pool ..futbol wasnt as interesting to us as it was the colombians, besides i needed a break from this conversation.
later L comes out to the pool and joins our conversation , ken and cali-vet who are both fluent in spanish were doing most of the talking and translating for me and L. L now begins to tell them all my faults , i could see them roll their eyes occasionally and ask me questions, sheeesh what a day this is turning out to be.the conversations were civil and we went on to talk about other subjects .
it was still early about 9:30 , we could hear the noise throughout the city cars honking, fireworks, all kinds of noisemakers ...colombia had just won the championship and the town/country was celebrating. L had to leave she had a early day at work tomorrow. as i walked her to the taxi i felt empty, i felt as though i was losing her and she was abusing me on the way out of the relationship with this constant acusations. i was tired of it.
i come back to the poolside table and join Ken and cali-vet in more conversation. K en says you know what this means. no what? its vodka time..yea!! we get some o j , vodka , cigars and begin the male ritual of drink..smoke ..talk . we are up fairly late again . Ken informs me he is leaving tomorrow he has an apartment on the north side. cali-vet is going with him. dam...im not sittin here anymore either, theres nothing going on on the south side and it looks like L and i are not cutting it.
were to go ...hmmmm? i consider the various agencies i visited earlier in the week...wait havent checked out Ricardos All Colombian Girls yet. i"ll check it out if i like it i"ll stay if not i"ll go to LE margereths place. a little side note something i forgot to mention earlier in this post. when L came back to LI to watch the game with me she had told me it was because she had second thoughts and felt guilty and that may be and probably is true. HOWEVER, during the evening in her conversations with Betty she let something slip out. it appears she had hurried home to meet her friends but she was late and they had gone on without her.
everything that had happened that day gave me something to think about as i went to bed. this was a very trying day for me i was exhausted from being on pins and needles all day. tomorrow im moving to the north side.I'M OUTTA HERE!!!
