Crazy Erica birthday

So yesterday I drove out to the city to pick Erica up. She had called, and then messaged me asking me where I was. I called her back after I parked telling her to go to the sushi shop. I waited a while and then decided to drive to her door front, and then saw her coming out. It surprised me a bit, because she was wearing these big sunglasses and her hair was a gold/orange colour. Looked very different to the last time we went out together, not in a bad way.

I drove to the car park near the Quay and she asked why we were parking. I told her we had to go by boat and asked if she would get sea sick and she said yes, so we joked about that for a bit, about where to throw up etc. She said she hadn't had breakfast yet and was hungry. She didn't want Hungry Jack's but when she saw a take away shop she wanted to get something from there.

She chose a sandwich and said we could share it, and then grabbed a lime Solo. I noticed she made no efforts to pay, so I paid, and I reckon the lady working there may have thought I was a bit of a chump.

We then went to get the tickets and then waited at the wharf. We took a few photos and didn't have to wait long. I put on my cap and gave her my other one, but even she said it was too big for her, although she kept it. She also said her handbag cost $3000. She didn't seem like she was too excited but when the ship came she was quite quick to grab a seat on the outside at the side. Although it was windy and kinda cold, it was great. We took some photos and I had my arm wrapped around her as we passed the glorious sight of the Opera House.

When we got to the zoo, she wanted to take the bus and said she was afraid of the Sky Safari ride, but we went on it anyway, after me scaring her about shaking it while we were on it. She did seem quite scared of it but got used to it after a while. I noticed she complained about walking the stairs up to the Sky Safari, which to me weren't too much of a walk. And then she complained a bit about having to walk around the zoo.

It brought back some memories of the time I went with Ele, Colin and Evonne. I sorta remembered the way, and we kinda made the same tracks but with Erica things went a lot faster - like we'd just take a look at an animal, take a photo or two, and then move on. Or maybe it was just because there was only the two of us, instead of four people.

Sometimes I'd take my hat off and she'd put it back on. I think she doesn't like the look of my shaved head. Sometimes she'd lean in to gently bite my ear or my face. I asked her if she wanted to have dinner on Thursday night (Valentine's Day) and she said yes but that she was having her face removed on Wednesday (???).

Unfortunately it started raining a bit a while after we got there, but after a bit of sheltering at a shop we moved on. Luckily the rain stopped shortly after.

She really liked the lions and tigers, and then we went to see the meerkats. She took her phone out from her bag and in the process dropped it over into the meerkats area. I found it a bit hilarious and obviously she was a bit upset, but luckily there were volunteers there who called the staff and said they'd be here in five minutes. She kept saying "Korean man would get it", wanting me to jump in to get it, but I wasn't gonna do that, so we just waited until a lady zoo keeper came and got it for her.

The whole thing finished faster than I expected. I thought we'd finish at 5pm but we left at about 1:30pm. I asked if she wanted to go bowling or ice skating, and she said she wanted to go to the beach. She also said she was hungry and wanted sushi, so we caught the ferry back and returned to my car. To my surprise, she had remembered where I had parked, even though when I asked her to I was only joking.

I drove her to the Wick and we found a sushi train restaurant, but she didn't like most of the food on offer. She seemed to enjoy her two beers the most. Despite that, we still had fun just talking. She asked me where the cake was and I said there was no cake.

I then drove us to Coogee beach (during the drive she would sometimes play with my arm which I loved), where we stood on the path overlooking the beach. I kissed her on the cheek at times which she seemed to enjoy. I then held her from behind giving her kisses, and it was so romantic. It was broken up only by a phone call from her house mate asking her how it was going.

I said I'd show her another place and she agreed, but on the way to the car she asked me to piggy back her. Although it was hard, I pushed myself and made it all the way back to the car.

I drove us to the water side in Perouse, but it was a little bit too windy. After going to the restrooms, I found a spot on the rocks for us to sit. I sat behind her, holding her, and gave her the mini-handbag pendant. She said there was no chain. I then said I was joking and gave her the Prada bag, only to be surprised by her reaction - she complained it was too small. She said she liked big bags and said this bag couldn't even hold her phone.

Hmmm. That soured the moment for me. She even suggested I take it back and return it.

When we walked back to my car, I felt like I was dragging my tail in between my legs. We then drove back out to the city for dinner. I parked near my office to get the car, and then I parked in the city car park and she proceeded to take me to the restaurant she had in mind. She didn't want to hold hands and I asked why, and she said in case her manager sees. She didn't seem too sure of the way as we walked past the restaurant, but it was a Korean bbq one that Malay had taken us to a few years ago.

She began expertly getting things and put them on the bbq. As the food cooked, she wrapped it up in lettuce and fed it to me. It was soooooooo sweet! Mmm yum yum.

She showed me $150 from her wallet and said that was all she had.

She had a soju and was mixing it with beer. She asked me what visa I was on and I said I was a citizen. She said she was on a holiday visa and I asked when it was expire. She said next month and I looked down, disappointed, and then she laughed and said something about three or six months going to Korea. I didn't really understand.

She asked me to lean forward for a kiss but she wasn't leaning forward at all so I returned sitting down, and then later she leaned all the way over to kiss me. She was on the phone at one stage and said her friend would be coming out.

I was quite full with all the food, and although she offered to pay, I said no and paid it myself. She wanted to use the bathroom, and had a cigarette before hand. As we stood outside the bathroom/restaurant area while she smoked, she would kiss me, and this was probably the first time I felt a bit of tongue and the kiss seemed more prolonged.

She asked me to go downstairs to the toilet with her and I thought about making out with her in the toilets, but I just held her handbag and waited.

After she finished, we walked back out to the main street, this time with her holding my hand. I asked what about if her manager sees, and she said I was her $3000 client. We walked to this corner place which I had passed thousands of times but never gave a thought to what it was. Apparently it was just a small place with poker machines and a bar. Nice business idea I suppose, to get those gambling addicts in.

She said we would wait here for her friend and she started playing. I watched as she started losing, and I got her a drink. She liked to hold my hand as she played, maybe for good luck. She kept losing and I kept waiting for her friend to call. She lost all her $150 and then asked me for money. I said no a lot, until she said it was her birthday and she just wanted $30, so I finally caved and gave it to her. While she was playing the first $10, her friend arrived, but she had to continue losing all $30.

She went to the bathroom for a while and asked us to talk, which was a bit awkward. I can't remember her friend's name, but I automatically assumed she was a working girl as well, and wondered what she looked like with make up on.

I invited her to play and she said no. I joked, asking her why Erica's English was so bad and she said she had been here longer than Erica.

As I watched Erica lose the rest of her (my) money, I wondered what the hell was so addictive about these stupid machines. To me, it's clear to ANYONE that it's programmed for you to lose, especially since there's no skill involved.

Afterwards we went to a nearby restaurant, which was the Korean place Christina had taken Nunjo, Cameron and I to before. They ordered that simmering spicy bbq thing where you add a noodle to it, and they also got some drinks.

This was when things started getting crazy.

Erica would get emotional, crying. And then, just like a wind change, she'd be happy and kissing me, holding me. At times the kiss was quite passionate.

Through her friend, she said she wanted to rent a place with me. I was a bit shocked. Aren't we moving a bit too fast? I looked at Erica and she made a sleeping gesture and said she wanted to sleep with me. I thought about it, and said to her friend that I am trying to change jobs and if I get it then we can rent.

In hindsight I think her friend misunderstood me, because Erica came back saying she wanted to change jobs. I suggested working as a waitress, and she said she wanted another job with the same money. She said we had very different ways of thinking. She said she dropped out of uni in Korea to come here to make money. I thought, what a mistake that was.

When she was emotional/crying, she asked what we were going to do now. I didn't plan anything, even though I wanted to just get a room, which I think was what she was thinking as well. She also asked "me, you, really?" which meant "are we serious?" and I said yes.

She also complained to her friend that I had work the next day, meaning that I couldn't spend it with her.

She lifted up the left short sleeve of my shirt, and saw there was one strand of hair sticking out. She was about to pull it out when I protested. She then asked "do you love me?" and I mumbled, then she pulled it out.

When she was happy, she'd eat her noodles close to me, as if to share it, only to pull away, but then eventually offered me the other end of her noodles and then kiss me as she slurped it up.

She went out twice, once with her friend, for a smoke. I sat there thinking I was in too deep, that this was just too crazy. I felt humiliated. Sometimes she would hold up her middle finger in front of my page, and then the next minute she'd be kissing me. She was crazy.

It eventually got so bad that she just sat down on the floor with her head sunk in between her knees. I went to pay the bill and helped carry her out the restaurant. Once we got outside, she said she wanted me to carry her, so I did but she started falling off so we had to stop. She sat down on the side, and then eventually asked me to sit so she could climb back on top of me. I carried her further up the street until she started falling again, and then she managed to walk with a bit of assistance.

We walked her back to her apartment, and I left at the front entrance. I texted her friend to let me know if she was ok. I went back to the office to get the office car keys (which weren't there) and her friend texted saying she was ok and she'd call me tomorrow. As I was leaving the office she called me, sounding like she had sobered up a bit. She sounded apologetic, and I said I was sorry the bag was so small, and she said she liked it.

When I got home she called me again and asked if I was going to sleep. I said yes, and then she called again, asking the same thing. I went to bed and she rang again but I didn't answer it.

I wanted time to think about all the craziness that had just occurred.
