William
Fucking Shakespeare. Genius.
Here I am stuck in a place where I
am, for the first time, utterly confused about men. Wait, back up the bus, I am not confused about men I can
break that one down in a heartbeat, but this one is throwing me for a loop.
So here I am having civil
conversation with Thad’s cousin, talking about fun shit we have talked about
for years. And let me preface this
by saying that I have known this person for quite some time. Going on probably 6 years? I just didn’t know he was Thad’s cousin
when I met him, but it makes the story even better in the long run. Duh, right. I mean, why wouldn’t someone I know wind up being related to
someone I am best friends with down the road? Typical fashion.
Whatever.
So here I am, my last few weeks in
North Carolina (yes! I am moving home soon!) And I am chatting with this guy
and its funny and its something new, and he doesn’t give me a fucking run
around like typical guys do.
Which, I think, makes me appreciate him more.
Still, he is Thad’s cousin, which
means I am going to have to see him out and about if Thad and Cheese have
parties and whatnot. Not to
mention, I know this kid! I mean,
I know things about him that no potential ‘girlfriend’ would want to know! Here is it… not that I am saying I want him to be my boyfriend, I am
just saying.
Do I blind faith leap off this
precipice or do I not? I know me
well enough to know that if I were to hang out with him at his new place in the
BX that I would most likely sleep with him on the first date and that would be
that. Either it would be good or
it wont be good. But there is the
problem in being cousins with my BFFS!!
What if it’s bad?! I can’t
digest that one!
Haven’t I suffered enough!?
SHIT!
Here is what other half to the
story; I tell Cheese and Thad that I have been having adult conversations with
this person and right away they think it’s a wonderful idea for me to “hang
out” with him and they’re basically planning my wedding. Basically.
To make matters even more weird,
they told Thad’s mom!! Who is best
friends with the guys mom! (Ergo,
they are cousins. You know how that
works). Her response was something
along the lines of, “I knew it! I
saw them talking at the wedding and they seemed to have something.” (Don’t quote that line, but it was
something like that).
Do we know what that means? It means that eventually she is going
to make a phone call and talk to HIS mom about it! I don’t know how I feel about this! It kind of makes my stomach churn/I don’t
know.
Do I let these fools play the
matchmaking game or do I not? Do I
want to know what Thad’s mom says to his mom or do I not? Do I want this whole thing to be
something or do I not?
Cheese thinks it’s a great move on
my part. So does Thad. But I think that they have secretly
felt like that for some time. Wouldn’t
life just be grand!?
