Waiting for a reply from Daphne is like waiting for the paint to dry or a pot of water to boil. Sometimes I wonder if she's fallen asleep on me. Usually when that thought does cross my mind, I tend to be right. Everytime she does that to me, I think about when she used to do it while we were dating. Man, did that piss me off.
I guess I never gave much thought to her sleep schedule. Just because I would stay up until all hours of the night didn't mean that she did. Sleeping schedules, especially when we were apart, all seemed to be a topic of argument for some bizarre reason.
Some of the arguments that we got into over something so stupid were just insane. There was one time that I didn't talk to her for an entire trip home from a mini vacation because I was too pissed at her for falling asleep on me the night before. All I wanted to do was sneak out and go for a walk on the beach with her. Just hold her under a starlit sky and watch the waves roll in. Is that too hard to ask?
No, she should have known it would irritate me. There were days I wondered if she'd do it on purpose. Days that she didn't think my story telling was nearly as impressive as her's. I don't have the gift of words that she does, but my stories were damn good. I know they painted images in my mind that helped me fall asleep at night.
Maybe that's why she was falling asleep on me…
The buzzing of my phone pulled me back to reality and out of my thoughts. Eagerly, I picked up my phone only to see Millie's name flashing across the screen. She's spending the weekend at home, leaving me alone in our flat. I know that I shouldn't be waiting on messages from my ex-girlfriend, but come on now, a guy has needs and she's willing to help me.
As I'm responding to Millie's message, Daphne's name flashes at the top of my phone. A wicked grin grows on my face as I click over to see what she's sent.
Daphne: What kind of trouble would you like?
Isn't that a loaded question? There are a lot of options when it comes to the kind of trouble, but only a few of them are fun. I'll let her wait a little bit for an answer. She made me wait.
Fair is fair.
