MINI SERIES VOLUME 13
I was browsing in a shop in Galleria when a couple hands enveloped my eyes, “Hello Stranger,” she says, the voice was familiar and I felt a longing after hearing her voice, how could I forget someone who I used to spend every night with at her home doing a school paper, I usually left around 2 or 3am in the morning after a night’s brainstorming and hanging out with her and her niece. We became close friends in that short span of time, I even attended her debut and we had a song specifically for each other. I wrote a poem for her present whirled around in an expensive perfume.
Her name is Angela and she came into my life when my first girlfriend just broke up with me.
“Hey sweetie,” I say as we gave each other an embrace and a kiss to the cheeks, “I haven’t seen you in a while, what have you been up to?”
As was her habit she wraps her arms around my elbow as she led me out of the store, “Mom’s been asking about you and you know…” she clearly avoided my question and I play along noting that it isn’t time to ask how she’s really been. We spent the afternoon together; just talking that is of interest and avoiding personal questions until she asked the inevitable, “Dating anyone lately?”
I held her gaze before I answer, “Angela, ever since you dumped me, I’ve been a gigolo to a lot of women.” I laughed.
She pinches my torso until I yelped, “GAGO! That was a serious question.” she retorts laughing, clearly she’s enjoying putting some serious hurt on me, you-masochist-you *lol*.
I place my arms around her, “Honestly, I’m not committed but I still date and yes, I occasionally do it and I am careful.”
“It’s a wonder to me you don’t bump into any of them when you’re with someone,” she wondered, I chuckled, “Oh-My-God, you don’t mean we’ve bumped into them while we were together?”
“Err, I’m not sure,” I feigned innocence and confessed that we did bump into a few of them, I suppose she was too engrossed in our conversation to have noticed me nodding and gesturing to some of the ladies I’ve been with.
“So… want to do some lingerie shopping?” I say with matching batting eyelashes and I got a smack on my shoulder and multiple pinches.
