Wuss, I am a weaseling wuss!

Piano playing in the background, chef making breakfast in the kitchen and Eric sitting on the pouch eating breakfast overlooking the beach at the Hampton. This is the life I would be waking up to everyday should I choose to be with him. I could still afford this lifestyle on my own but I would not be doing it so effortlessly cool like he is doing. It is like he was born into this, well he did.

“Good morning handsome.” I was overconpansating for something obviously.

“Hi baby, in a good mood so you had a nice sleep?” Shit great he didn’t notice. He stood up to kiss me before sitting me down next to him – honestly I feel like dog.

“yes, the bed was good” why did I answer that, what is wrong with me today? “so what are you reading” I acquired

while shoving the biggest piece of waffle into my mouth so I don’t have to comment on the answer he was going to give me.

“Tom Clancy, honey are you hungry? Do you want more truffle waffle?”

NO!! I want you to hurt me and destroy me so I don’t feel this bad.

“I am good, you are more filling than any waffle I can shove in my face.” Again what the hell is wrong with me?

I am trying to breakup with his majesty the handsome but so far I keep sounding like I want to trap the man.

“Careful or I will have to stop eating this and eat your sweetness instead.” He led out a cheeky laugh and

winked. I used to be so shy and so caught up in moment like this but now I just felt tight in the chest. I was suffocated.

“We need to talk.” This is a start to a horrible holiday weekend.

“Yes, I am sorry for keeping this from you. I didn’t mean to surprise you – knowing how much you hate it.” I lost it. I have no idea what to expect. He ushered me to the front door and I just hope he wanted me to leave his house, like one of those hoes be gone moment.

“What are you doing?” I had to ask.

“Surprise!!!” I couldn’t hear what her said next after surprise because I was looking at the latest BMW X6 in pastel pink. He wasn’t kicking me out for cheating – emotionally – he bought me a car.

“You can say something now.” He is perfect, smile that can pull panty, money that can drown playboy mansion and

looks that can slay a dragon but nothing about him I want anymore. I used to say love the man who love you but I can no longer live by that statement when I know I can make him happier with someone better more deserving of him than me if I could just let him go. So I decided to.

“Eric, I love it and I love you but you have to listen to me. I need to tell you this when my mind is still

straight.” My heart is no longer with you. It is never your fault baby. “you are a damn good guy but I cannot be your lucky girl anymore. I am sorry I wasted so much of your time but we were real once I just can’t be with you anymore. There is no chemistry between us I just hope we could still be in each other life but I would understand if you don’t want to.”

Eric looked at me like I was an unsolvable puzzle, with thorns that was jabbing at him. “I am sorry you felt that way. If there is any way we could work out this I would be glad to do anything. We could go couple therapy if you want.”

Tears streaming down my face, until this moment he still doesn’t blame me.

“Babe I am sorry there is someone else I am developing feelings for and I don’t want to lie to you anymore. It could be nothing by I want the freedom to experience whatever it could be.”

We just stood there in front of the pink car for a solid 10 minutes before he said. “I wish he knows how lucky he is to have you. I would love for us to still be in each other lives because you have been a big part of mine and if it doesn’t work out you will always have me to come back to.”  He kissed my forehead and went back in, I took the keys and drove.
