(continued from previous)
I was too busy fawning over him that I really didnt even care when I saw BB openly kissing Billy Goat in front of everyone. And by everyone I mean me, her co-worker (employee, to be exact), her friends, and my Gentle Giant all of who know that shes married. Most of them finding out that its just not so happily right at that moment.
Ive known that shes not happily married for some time now. Ive even written about it several times in this diary. But there were many times when Ive talked to her and shes told me about how she and her husband are in counseling and they want to work things out. This time things were different. Ill probably delve a little bit into the whys later. But BB was on a rampage last weekend. And no amount of me reminding her that she is a married woman was ever about to get in the way of what she was after. It didnt matter. She openly wore her wedding rings. And obviously all the guys she met over the weekend didnt care. And even more obvious was the fact that she didnt care.
I gave up worrying about her. There was nothing I could do to stop her anyway.
So when she told me that she was leaving with Billy Goat, I let her go. The most I could do was ask her if she was absolutely sure that she wanted to leave and give her some disapproving looks. And she was gone.
So there I was, left with Gentle Giant. Dana and Tina were on the other side of the place playing pool with about five or six guys. So he and I talked and wandered around for a while. Im not really sure what we talked about. All I know is that he had this amazing calming effect on me. He soothed and cooed and smoothed my hair and held my hand and I felt so much better. And though I could barely focus, he was a deep looker. You know, the kind that look deeply into your blue, blue eyes and right into your muddy brown soul. I couldnt handle it at the time. I had to look away.
The lights came on. It must have been 5am at that point. Gentle Giant and I wandered over to Dana and Tina while they said their goodbyes to their pool buddies and dancing partners. And we all piled into a cab to go back to the hotel. I didnt think anything of Gentle Giant coming back with me. He said he had a place a couple of blocks from there anyway.
So when we arrived at the hotel, Dana and Tina went inside and Gentle Giant and I sort of stood on the street corner looking at each other. Until he asked, Do you want to go see my store?
I guess I didnt realize that when he said he had a place close by, he meant a storefront! And I thought about BB and the fact that she might have brought Billy Goat back with her and I wasnt ready to face all of that music, so I said, Sure!
(Damn. Gotta go finish getting ready for work now. Back later )
