Agree for 4th and 5th tranch...
This morning I drove to the basketball stadium to watch the semi-finals with Mike. Blacklisted absolutely smashed Family Ties. It wasn't even close. I would much rather play Blacklisted if we're talking about chances of winning, but I can't help but feel I'd want a chance to play FT again to shut those two division 1 players down.
If we win this season, everything has gone our way perfectly. If not, then it'll be pretty disappointing.
Jim ended up showing up, which was a surprise. But after the game we didn't do anything, everyone just went their own separate ways. I couldn't do anything as I had to meet Erica for our 'talk' as suggested by her.
So I drove home, got changed and drove to the Wick for the gym. After that I went to Coles to buy the stuff I need for my weekly lunch. After that I went home, shaved and had a shower. I then got ready to meet Erica.
My mood as I left was...I felt like if she wanted to break up, then I should just let it go. I was feeling the sense of freedom that comes with being single, and most importantly, the huge burden off my shoulders to not have to give her anymore money. I was also tired, tired of fighting, and was ready to walk away from all this.
However, turns out that "talk" didn't mean talking about breaking up at all. When she got into my car, I asked if she was hungry and she said no. I asked where she wanted to go, and she said park, so I drove us to Mrs Macquarie's Chair. On the way there we made some light conversation, and I could tell from her tone that things weren't bad between us. Definitely no awkwardness left over from that phone call from the other night.
She had some pieces of paper out filled with typed written Korean. Turns out it was something she was supposed to memorise in case she was asked about her studies or something. Anyway, when we got there she started talking about her mother, and so I joined in, not wanting to be accused of not talking about it again.
I asked her about the healthcare system in Korea, and got the obvious answer that it was different and that they had to pay for surgery. If there was no money, there'd be no surgery. I asked her how long her mum had had cancer for and she said for about six or seven years. She also said her mother's sister also had the same thing, but had the surgery and was fine now.
She was translating stuff on her phone, like her love for her family was different, and that she didn't know how she'd live if her mum died. She was also trying to translate something to me but I couldn't understand it. So she called someone to translate for me. When she handed me the phone I could tell it was Mimi. She said Erica felt sorry for me as these were tough times, and hopefully things will get better after the surgery.
Damn. She's apologising for her bad behaviour. How can I break up with her now?
So we talked about that for a while, then she said that her cast will come off in two weeks. She said because I'd lost my job, she'd work and quickly pay off her debt. That made me feel bad. God, imagine if she found out I was lying about that. Then she asked if I could just help her for the next two weeks, and then she'd help me once she started working again. I didn't need the help (as I didn't really lose my job) but I did appreciate her offer. I thought about it - I guess I was getting away with paying $25,000 rather than the $50,000 as first promised, so maybe it was a good deal?
I ended up saying yes. Maybe I'll regret it, I don't know. Was this her real purpose in asking me out here?
We talked a bit more about other stuff. I moved to the back seat and tried to sleep. Then I sat up and held her from behind. She showed me photos from her phone Some I had seen before, and some I hadn't. She said after the surgery, we'd go drinking on Friday, and later we'd go on our trip to Canberra.
I put my head down and tried to sleep, and she said I sleep with my eyes open. God, so this raises it's ugly head again.
After I tried sleeping for a bit, she suggested we go home as I was tired. I objected but she kept asking me to get back into the driver's seat. Finally I did, and on the way she said she wanted to go to a Korean grocery store. I wans't sure if she wanted me there, I knew if I did go I'd end up paying, so I asked her and she seemed to say ok as a second thought.
Anyway, so we went, she picked out a lot of things, ended up being $112 which I paid for. I wanted to take it back to my car but she said someone was coming to pick her up. Then her friend showed up and asked me to get my car. I only got a quick look at her, but she was quite...hot.
I went to get my car and picked them both up, only to drive them up the road. I wanted to know what her friend's name was so I introduced myself, only for her to say "hi". Even Erica laughed at that. Maybe she was too smart. She did seem quite friendly though, even inviting me upstairs as I was helping them with the groceries, but I couldn't as my car was running. So I left the stuff inside the lobby and parted.
