As of Late
Last night, Andrea and I interacted...
I was at work, but I got off at 11pm. I called her and it went like this.
Andrea: Hello?
Mike: Hey, I'm ready to go..
Andrea: Man, my mom is tripping right now. i can't even go to the movies like I wanted. Mom said I can't go nowhere.
(Andrea was going to the movies with her sister)
Mike: Dang, why can't you go to the movies?!
Andrea: it's my mom..
Mike: Well, how are you suppose to come get me?
Andrea: Man, gimme about an hour, I'm waiting on my mom to go to sleep so I can leave and pick you up.
Mike: AN HOUR?!! Damn..
Andrea: just gimme an hour, okay, baby?
Mike: (pride-ridden) ..okay, one hour.
Andrea: bye. *click*
Yes, she had MY car. I even started to believe that she was lying, she sounded sneaky, her tone of voice made it seem like she was up to something. As I sit at the table of McDonald's waiting, my co-workers asked me "Mike, why come EVERY NIGHT you NEVER go home on time?" Well, they know because Andrea has my car, and this time she can't even leave the house. One time before, it was because she went to take one of her co-workers/friends home which took hours, one time before that- it because she got lost in a neighborhood looking for Fay State University (wondering what she was looking for out there). But last night, she'd take forever too, like usual. My co-workers were telling me like I was getting played and that I should leave her the hell alone, but they could all tell by my facial expressions that I didn't want to. 2 hours later.....
Mike: What's going on, man??
Andrea: Mike, my mom is almost asleep, i'm still waiting..
Mike: you said that 2 HOURS AGO, you said you'd be here an hour from then.. so what's going on?
Andrea: Mike, just give me 30 more minutes. Because I'm packing my bags so I can go stay with my sister for awhile.
Mike: well, look, I'll wait 30 more minutes, but since you got my car and you're not staying home tonight, I wanna ask you something, but I don't want you to say "no".
Andrea: (attitude tone) what is it?
Mike: nah, nevermind, I'll ask you when I see you.
Andrea: Mike, i'm already irritated, so just tell me what it is!
Mike: can we chill for awhile tonight? Please? (tsk-tsk-tsk)
Andrea: uh-huh.. (mom yelling in the background)
Andrea: Mike, i'mma call you back!
Mike: can we please chill tonight?!
Andrea: I said yeah, dang, bye. *click*
When I got off the phone, my managers were next to tell me that I was being played for a SUCKA! I didn't want to believe them, but that all were saying the same things, and they were right. They made me realize that I'm TOO NICE (nice guys finish last), I'm letting her RUN ME, I'm weak (there's no challenge from being weak). Yes, I know the principles, but Andrea broke underneath all of that, and she's not suppose to.
30 minutes later..
I called her again, but just when I did, Andrea pulled up in my car and ALL my managers and co-workers snarled at her thru the windows, I had to play it off like everything was gonna be fine. But I had a lot I wanted to say to Andrea. It was then that I decided I was gonna stand up to her, and tell her what's real.. but would she listen?
I'm in the passenger seat (tsk-tsk-tsk), her younger sister (age: 16) is in the back, and Andrea is driving (tsk-tsk-tsk).
Sister: man, I'm hungry..
Andrea; man, me too.. I'm gonna stop somewhere to get something to eat.
Mike: .....
Andrea: now, Mike, I need another favor from you..
Mike: (now what does she want, to keep my car again?!)
Andrea: I'm not gonna be home for 2 days, instead my and my sister are gonna be at my sister's house. She has to wake up early in the morning to go to work, which means me and my (younger) sister are gonna have to re-locate, so i need your car again, okay, baby?
Mike: (how did I know??) ..we'll talk about it later.
(Andrea phone rings)
Andrea never likes it when I'm on the phone when we're in the car because she says I shouldn't be on the phone during HER TIME. It's not the same for me. Andrea talks and sings on the phone to whoever shes talking to, in this case, I knew it was a guy..
Andrea: Hey, I'mma call you back because I'm about to get something to eat... iight, boy.... I'mma call you back, I'm for real, okay?... yeah.....etc.
Mike: you ain't got to get off the phone, keep talking..
I was obviously upset. I know that whenever she's driving and I call her, she instantly gets off the phone with me. But to whoever this guy was, he was luckier than I. She got off the phone about 5 minutes later. All I could do was stare her in her face, searching for a valid, and perfect reason to break up with her... but, she's too fvcking BEAUTIFUL!! After getting her food, she calls back. And they start talking about what is who's favorite slow song. It infuriated me. Andrea doesn't have a Driver's License, there were police driving all around the city, it's late as hell, and it was raining. WHY IN THEE BLUE HELL WAS SHE STILL ON THE PHONE FOR?!!
When we get to her sister's house...
Mike: You ain't acting right!!
Andrea: What the **** is wrong with you?
Mike: Why are you taking advantage of me?
Andrea: Ain't nobody taking advantage of you!!
Mike: Who the fvck was you on the phone with? huh? Some dude?! I know you're fvcking playing me.
Andrea: SHUT THE FVCK UP!!
Mike: NO! YOU SHUT THE FVCK UP!!!
Andrea: bye.. I'm getting outta here.
Mike: Andrea, I love you and I wanna be with you, but if you leave out of this car, you just walked out of our relationship.
Andrea: oh, so you're gonna based our relationship from me leaving the car, bye! That's fvcked up, because you ain't gonna be coming at me like that- cussing me the fvck out and shyt..
Mike: (*****-mode) wait, baby, no, don't leave...
Andrea: let go of my fvcking arm.. LET GO OF MY FVCKING ARM!!
Mike: I love you and shyt, girl. And when I need you the most you just gonna leave me and shyt?!! How the fvck can you love me if you're leaving me when I need you most.
(Andrea closes the door and stays in the car)
Mike: Andrea, I am good to you. Why do you treat me so bad? This was suppose to be a 50/50 relationship. I'm doing everything I can for you; things I'm not even suppose to be doing. I'm working hard and long so that I can invest in our relationship, but you sitting here doing me so wrong! You out at the clubs and movies while I'm out working HARD. And then you're late picking me up from work in MY SHYT!
