Angelena says, "Oh, what a tangled web we weave."

the%20suit.jpgI know I’m working too hard when my social life takes a complete nosedive and the only men I’m able to fantasize about are ones that I can’t have. These include old crushes that provide nothing but heartbreak and guys I work with.

The Suit called to tell me he was visiting my side of town with his friends. “Do you want to come and hang out?” he asked. In spite of feeling tired, I said I would go.

When we met up, he looked cuter than I remembered and I suddenly felt energized. The last time I saw the Suit he was tangled in my sheets, laughing at the fact that he almost broke my bed frame from fucking me too hard. Those were the days! Talking to him made me secretly giddy, and I felt like I was 14 years old again. Some guys just do it for you, and he’s totally one of those.

So we hung out and surprisingly, didn’t hook up. It was the first time we ever did that. I guess it was nice, except the whole time I couldn’t stop thinking about jumping his bones. And I STILL can’t. Even though nothing has changed, Suit doesn’t call or message enough, and isn’t available when I want him to be, which makes me want him that much more. It’s sick.

I know it’s a bad idea. I know I shouldn’t like the Suit because he isn’t good for me, but I really can’t help it. I love his big brain and subtle charm, his defined jaw line and strong arms. Most of all, I enjoy being around him, and even better, sleeping with him. And it’s not that he’s a jerk or goes out of his away to play games. It’s just that somehow, in the midst of having fun, he makes me weak and I end up liking him…a lot.

Ultimately, I find myself on the losing end, and I hate that because I’m a natural winner.

While trying to keep my mind off of the Suit, I’ve been focusing on this kid from Michigan, a guy I see practically every other day because our bosses work a lot with one another. When I first saw him I thought he was cute, but threw out any notion of liking him since it isn’t the right thing to do. A wise woman once said, “You don’t shit where you eat.” I’m trying not to, except every time I see the Michigan Kid, shitting and eating in the same place doesn’t seem too bad. When he comes to my office, he sticks around a little too long to talk about this and that. Today I visited his office and caught him staring at me. I think if we happy hour’ed we would hook up and it would end up being a happy night. However, he might end up being just like the Bartender, all bark and no orgasm.

This Angelena may be agnostic, but she’s starting to feel that perhaps the man (or woman) upstairs is playing jokes with her heart and libido. It’s time to take matters into my own hands and remove myself from the drama that may ensue. One-night stands are much easier to deal with.

I'd like to sign up for a one night stand with you!

Sounds like a cable TV show...
