MARK: My "homie-lover-friend"
I am killing time right now. Strange because eight days after I decided to get Glenn off my life, I get a call from Mark, my long lost friend. We're going on a date tonight. He's picking me up and I am waiting for him.
Just a little introduction of Mark:
Mark was a friend of mine five or six years ago before I even met Glenn. We were good friends, we go on dates a lot, we go to parties. We were like best friends. One day we decided to try being a "couple." But it just wouldn't work. I guess, because we knew each other so much and we knew each other's trust and secrets that we figured it wasn't a good idea for us to hook up. I had this weird attraction to Mark that makes me go out with him all the time. But I dont' know if he felt the same way. He became sort'a like "homie-lover-friend" to me and vice versa. We would go to parties separately and nobody will ever notice we were together. We would secretly meet up after the party to be together. Other times, Mark would knock on my window and I would sneak him inside my room quietly and we would sleep and talk...sometimes, "messed around."
Then Glenn came along, I thought Mark didn't like me or loved me. I talked to him how Glenn was courting me and ne would just say sarcastic remarks like " You're trading me for someone else..., " or "you don't love me anymore.." But I don't think it was seriously said. So after ^months of courting I went for Glenn. And it was him eversince. A month after I was with Glenn, Markk professed his love for me. But it was too late. I had Glenn. Mark and I remained very good friends. We would go out and watch movies but more subtle and behaved. He told me he loved me and that I should leave Glenn. But I can't...I was too inlove with Glenn. Plus, it wouldn't be fair for Glenn. And durign the times, I amhavign problems with Glenn, Mark would always utter, " I told you, you should've gone for me.."Over the years, Mark and I kept in touch. I stop seeing him two years ago because Glenn was jealouse of him. We still talked and he's always asking me out on a date but I kept turning it down because of Glenn.
Then he called today. He said he has been calling me for months but I was never home. He said he has been trying to get in touch with me the past week so we can go out or something since he is on Spring Break but I wasn't home. It's funny how we grew up from being young, rebellious, and weak high school kids to professional and mature adults. Mark is now a senior in college and a Computer Science Major and I am a nurse. Whoa! And I am going on a date with him tonight. The first time ever in two years! I wonder what will happen. I am excited.
So I'm just here...and I am waiting....
