I think I may have opened a can of worms! It wasn't intended I was genuinely trying to relieve my conscience and make someone else feel better. Mainly the first one I'm ashamed to admit. Plus alcohol was involved so I'm willing to take about 80% responsibility.
Today I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself when I receive a phone call from none other than DJ.We've not spoken on the phone for about 2 years now. When he found out about my current 'condition' he offered to come round with Dr Pepper and a Bueno - I hate that he remembers that stuff. See what I mean about the can of worms? So I do the right thing and say no and then spend the rest of the day beating myself up about it. After all this is all my fault:
It all started last Friday when my lovely lovely other bridesmaid, Billie came down. Actually I might give her 10% of the blame too! You see this is the girl who I've got in and out of trouble with for over 10 years now. We don't live near each other anymore and can go for a month without talking and a lot longer without seeing each other but it never changes, and I love that she's not really part of my social circle as such. In fact if I was ever to use the term then yes, "she's totally like my BFF".
So in typical style we go for afternoon cocktails and a catch up. It was all very subdued and lovely until DJ turns up in the same bar with his friends. We're polite as always but as the day turns into night and my vision becomes seriously impaired, me and Billie get talking and she convinces me to tell him. And I did. I took my chance. He went to the bar to get a drink and made a face at me and I asked if I could talk to him. You can almost hear the tin opener grinding into action!
And so I tell him everything (please don't judge me too harshly!). I tell him all about how insecure I was feeling when we started going out. I was young, he was quite a bit older and I really really really fell head over heals. I tell him how one of my friends had raised questions in my head over a girl he knew (who incidentally he was with for 2 years after me) and how when I went away for that fateful weekend the friend I told him I'd slept with I had actually turned down. I then go on to tell him how when I had said I had slept with him I was very very drunk, had assumed he wasn't sure about us anymore and wanted to get in there first before he thought I was taking it too seriously. Hurt or be hurt I suppose. I then find myself telling him how I never told him the truth because I had miscontrued all his eratic messages and phone callsthe month after the incident as him messing with my head and would have happened whatever the situation.
Yes, I was VERY stupid but also very insecure at that point. And do you know after I told him all of this he just hugged me?! He told me how much he'd been hurt, how it'd had been a nightmare for him getting over what we had and how he'd questioned whether to call me for a very long time. I fear I didn't deserve that amount of understanding! Hence, worms all over the place!
On the other side of the coin, talking to him like that left me lusting after him. He's a fine specimen of a man. It could just be the prospect of only sleeping with one man for the rest of my life or it could be the fact that we never reached a stage where the passion turned to comfort.
I could do without the temptation at the moment. With the wedding looming a feel myself longing for just one night (OK I can't guarantee it would stop there which is why I'm not pursuing it) with someone completely different. I even find myself lusting after Best Man Ray (bit of a lager lout at times and can be a questionable dresser). I think I'm in trouble.
Sub NoteHave cracked a rib right enough. Doctor reckons I'll be 'laid up' for days if not weeks. Does he not know I'm meant to be stumbling down the aisle in a few weeks?! The way I'm going at the moment I'll be bent over double with my hand glued to my side like I've just been stabbed. Really not proving to be a good look. Nor is the fact I'm having to rely on Jazz to do the back of my hair at the moment. I hate being incapable!! I may self-medicate later with a bottle of red.
