Story so far... (Guy Two) - Part 1

Hey, so there’s this girl. There’s always a girl. From your best friend’s friend to that girl who works as a waitress at the local coffee house to the red-head in maths to the girl-you-met-at-a-party-that-one-time. Girls everywhere.

‘My’ girl works with me and goes to the same college. We work shifts apart but talk when everyone’s together at the end of the day. We don’t take classes together just know each other vaguely. Lately a bit more than vaguely but I’ll get to that later. For now we’ll call her ‘Laura’ as me and my friend won’t be divulging real information like names and places and such.

So I notice her – short (which is good for a guy of my height), fairly long brown hair, thin yet intriguingly curvy. As near as dammit the perfect girl for me looks-wise. Now to find if she’s got the personality to match. A little chatting, some flirting thrown in for good measure. Nice girl, not entirely within the same social group as me but that shouldn’t mean anything so it’s ignored.

Problem. Boyfriend. Abort. Abort…Hang about, boyfriend PROBLEMS. Workable.

Now I’m not the kind of guy who’ll steal a girl from another guy let alone one I used to know but these problems seem to be leading to a dead end anyway. I’m not about to look a gift horse in the mouth so I’ll let them get to the inevitable breakup then go from there.

They break up. Sunbeams and Butterflies. They still hang out…deal with-able. They still act like boyfriend/girlfriend. A slight hiccough? They still kiss. Storm clouds and lightning bolts. Must find out what’s going on.

Turns out they still act as boyfriend/girlfriend because they’ve been going out so long they still depend on each other a little too much. Crap. My interest slowly wanes and ‘Laura’ becomes just another girl I know who I once had a little thing for…

I’ll get the second half of this story up later. I’m sure there’s plenty to read already.

Ciao for now
‘Guy Two’
