Relationship Status
APRIL 20th, 2011
Finally, finally, finally! "Detective Man" finally came out yesterday. I was one of the first to be at the game store to pick it up. The cover was what really blew me away: A cool detective holding a handgun with an awesome background. I took a whiff of the lamented case and was brought into a gamer high. Even the cashier complimented me on getting it saying, "I wish I could play that right now instead ringing it up. It's torture man." I rushed back home to play it, and to my luck, Benson was out running errands, leaving me some much needed playtime. As the game was loading, my palms grew sweaty and my heart raced. I was like a teenage girl at a boy band concert. Just as I was about to start, my phone rang. Margaret had invited me out to lunch along with Eileen. I had to make a tough choice. Play a game I had waited for months for, or hang out with my best friends. I soon had a 'Skips' moment, and chose hanging out with my friends.
I have to admit, it wasn't that bad. We went to diner not too far from the park. Margaret told me it was one of those 'old time' diners that just felt like home. She was right. The waiters were polite and the service was great. The music they played in the background was a mixture of music from the 40's to the 60's. I felt like wearing a top hat and tapping my foot to the music. The floors were colored stoned and there slick, smooth patterned walls. The windows were kept clean daily and the seating was flawless. We all ordered the sandwiches, which the diner was very famous for. I got a ham and cheese melt, and it was the best I had ever tasted. It was toasted to a point where the bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the gooey cheese mixed in beautifully with the smoked ham causing a magical concoction of flavor.
Now, what baffled me was this. Margaret had got a melt like mine, but didn't finish it. I mean she barely touched it. She told me before she has some eating issues at times, but it still worried me. Plus, she kept saying how tired she felt. She had told me before she had insomnia, but that still didn't stop my worrying. It was weird. All this time I knew her and never would I have thought she had these problems. It felt terrible knowing that it took a project for me to know her better. That I couldn't just work up the courage to just hang out with her. But, I didn't let that ruin the entire day for me, at least I got to hang out with some friends. It's nice to be outside the house for a change.
Now, today was a different story. I kept my ass on that sofa for the longest, becoming completely indulged in the gaming experience. I had a tall glass of cola to keep me energized. Just then, my phone vibrated. It was Rhonda aka Ronnie. Me and her had been chatting for a while. You know, just random conversations to pass the time, but it was fun. She was a good mood booster.
[Rhonda]: Hey Mordo! Guess what?
[Me]: What?
[Rhonda]: I just had my first kiss! Oh Mordo, it was magical.
All of a sudden, I had this weird 'punch to the gut' feel. Well more like a punch to the heart. I felt jealous somehow. I wanted to kiss her. I don't know why, I just did.
Wait? Where the fuck is all this coming from?
I ignored the thought and answered back.
[Me]: That's great. How did it feel?
[Rhonda]: I can't really say. We just kissed for 2 mins. It was just, Oh Mordo, it was wonderful.
[Me]: Okay, hey I'll talk to later.
[Rhonda]: K, see ya ;)
Why am feeling jealous? I don't know her that well.
"Hey Mordecai, can I talk to you about something?" Rigby came from the back, sounding concerned.
Good timing, something to get my mind off this.
"What's wrong dude?" I asked while my eyes were still locked on the screen.
"Well it personal. Can you pause the game really quick?"
This time I was starting to get worried. What was he getting at? I paused the game.
"Is there problem man? You can talk to me about it," I said sympathetically.
"It's not a problem. I just thought we'd talk about something. Bro to bro?"
"And that would be?"
"It's about Eileen."
"Is everything okay with you two?"
"Yeah man, it's great. I just feel like…like…" His tail started to twitch and he was twiddling his thumbs.
"Like?" I said, getting him to go on.
"…I want to take the relationship to the next level."
"You two are already together, what did you have in mind?" I got my cola and drank what was left of it.
"I…I…I think…I'm ready to…have sex with her."
I did a spit take spraying everything in its range. The TV, the coffee table, even the gaming system. Did I…did I really just hear what I think I heard?
"What…what did you say?" I said between coughs.
"I'm ready to have sex with her. After all this time knowing her, I think we've built some tension. I just can't stop thinking of…you know…"
No, I didn't want to know. I mean Rigby having sex? The same guy who can't throw a punch? The same guy who sucks at games? The same guy who's afraid of British taxis? The same guy who whines when he doesn't get his way? He's so small and so is Eileen. Just imagining those two doing…IT, I just…I can't…GAH!
"Well, um…if you're going to do…this, you'll need some kind of protection."
"Oh I'm way ahead of you; I'm getting condoms in every size just to be sure."
I don't even want to know…
"Well man, that's…good for you. Just be sure you're ready. This is a very emotional thing you'll be doing."
"I know man, and I'm ready."
'Good…good."
"You okay dude?"
"I'm a…I'm just gonna…lay down for a bit. Here." I gave him the controller. "Enjoy yourself." I went upstairs leaving him confused and baffled.
Rigby and Eileen doing it…Why can't I wrap my head around that?
