504. WAITING FOR THE TEXT THAT NEVER COMES


I'm still in my jam jams and drinking my second cup of coffee. And of course, I have not heard anything from the super. Shocking. I being the daughter of an architect, don the eye of a wannabe contractor and go into the bathroom. The bathroom ceiling seems to have dried over night. And more importantly, the light fixture looks okay. I am not crazy enough to turn it on, just in case it is still wet. Maybe the leak was a fluke; I think and sit down at my desk.

I return to find a missed text message from Town and Country: How are you?
Desi Girl: Good. And you. (I refrain from telling him about my plumbing woes. I am pretty sure he doesn’t care).
Town and Country: I am waiting for my flight to take off. Going to Minneapolis…
Desi Girl: Willingly?
Town and Country: Yep.
Desi Girl: Why?
Town and Country: Meeting with investors. I'm kinda hungry.
Desi Girl: They will feed First Class once they are airborne.
Town and Country: I wouldn’t know.
Desi Girl: Why not?
Town and Country: I’m in coach.

He is? Well this is surprising. I mean – true he is not one of those super showy rich people. He doesn’t drive a BMW or Mercedes. He has nice things, a nice house, but it is not all flash and glam. Which is what I do like about him – he’s a real person. I just didn’t expect him to travel like a regular person.

Town and Country: Okay taking off. Very stern attendant just reprimanded me for texting after the doors were shut. Will text when I land.

Ugh. I don’t like it when he does that. It makes me feel like we have something real, people in relationships text one another when they land and take off. Not friends. Now I am going to get stuck in the nebulous, looking forward to his text, not wanting to look forward to the text, and then being disappointed when the text never comes.

Just don't get stuck to him. Should date other eligible non-desi guys who will care about you.

Dear Anonymous -

I know I need to not be stuck on him. Siobhan and I talk about this regularly - but for some reason the attraction is hard to shake with him.

You have to shake off this attraction and move on, otherwise it looks like, it is not going anywhere..It is not him, it is you who is attracted to him and he is aware of it. Not good.

Dear Anonymous -

I know. Shake it off is right. And in my head I know this. But inside my heart it is deaf, dumb and mute. This is going no where. Sigh.

p.s and you are RIGHT - he HAS to know. And that is not good for me either.
