I’m going through my clothes and out rolls one of those circular elastic bandy things (CEBT) that a woman would use in her hair (I don’t know what it’s called). “Hmmm,” I think, “my girlfriend must have left this.” I set aside to give to her, not really giving it much thought. This was a few days ago.
So my girlfriend came over and stayed the night last night at my place and this morning as we are both getting ready to leave for work (after I had scored serious good boyfreind points by running out and getting some coffee while she got ready) I sya, “Oh, by the way I think you forgot something last time you were here.” And I produce the CEBT.
“Umm, this isn’t mine,” she informs me. It’s blue and she only where’s black ones. “and it has red hair!”
OK, I absolutely did not have some other red-haired woman over to my place. “I swear, I don’t know where that came from! Maybe I picked it up in the laundry room.”
And I go through several more incarnations of this theme. Now to be honest I don’t think she ever really thought I had someone else over, but she was actually really enjoying making me squirm.
“Honestly, would I be that stupid to show you this if I had someone else over?”
Finally she says it’s fine, she believes me and gives me a kiss and we both head off to work. But man was I flopping around like a fish out of water. But dammit, where the hell did that thing come from? Are there dark forces at work attempting to sabotage my relationship with the woman I love?
