Typical Mel Burke
Mel's always getting onto me when I bring home a girl, but when she brings a guy, suddenly it's all good and 'why won't I keep out of her business?'. Of course, a few moments later, she changes her mind and spouts out way too many details of her new guy and their budding relationship and I try to focus on the static in my head and not take too much of it in.
Typical Mel Burke, really. Says she doesn't want to talk, but what she really means is she does. She really, really does. And she never seems to hear when I tell her I don't wanna hear it.
Whatever. She makes out like her dates are somehow better than mine. Superior. Calls my dates bimbos and never takes them seriously. Meanwhile, the guys she dates are all pretty boys, good to look at, but not much else.
Okay, fine. So, some of them have been smart. Some have been very smart. One might say there've been a few guys who actually might have been deserving of Mel if only she took them seriously and gave them more of a chance. There's always something not quite right about them, though. She always finds a flaw.
Half the time I find myself defending them, for some reason, while the rest of the time there's a hollow feeling inside me and it slowly fills with fire until I'm telling Mel to break up with the guy. I don't know what it is about Mel - and Ryder and Lennox, for that matter - that get me so worked up, but I can't bear to see them in any situation that is bad for them. Mel's bad dates just happens to be the most common situation for me to fix, I guess.
What? No, I'm not jealous. I just... the sight of them with her sickens me. And the way she gushes about them, the way she seems to glow after some of her dates - the ones that don't end that same night, that is. Her happy, smiling face and the fact that someone else made her look that way. And with the bad ones, the knowledge that that smile will soon be gone. I can't stand it.
Wow. Wow, that wasn't what this rant started out as, was it? Oops. Back on topic, my bimbos - no! dates! dates is what I meant - are just as valid as hers. I mean, I'm still pretty young. And I look this good. Why not have some fun? If I happen to meet Mrs Longo in the process, then so be it.
I've been married twice now, though, and it didn't work out. If I do this marriage thing again, I want to do it right. That's why dating these girls is perfect for me. I'm just... biding the time until the right one comes along. What of it, if they're bimbos?
fin.
