So I had just got back from Smith’s with bread so I could make some grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup. Which was delicious by the way. Anyway, I’m making my sammiches and Aubrey waltzes into her mother’s room asking for help with something. Whatever it was I figured she wouldn’t be in there for more then 2 mintues. 5 minutes later I started to get a weird vibe. I just had this feeling in the back of my neck that she was going to come out of that room and tell me something I didn’t want to here.
Sure enough it would seem that her mother had given her a short lecture about how her and I are being “too touchy.” and “although [Aubrey] might see it as playful wrestling, tickling, etc. He might be expecting something more.”
What can I say? Besides, her Mom is right.
Right now I’m looking at the two of them hug and kiss and giggle. I find it disgusting. So much in fact, that it makes me smile. I smile because whatever emotion I’m feeling is too overpowering to correctly express. So I go numb, and I smile. But why would I bed down a torment of feelings? Wanting something I don’t, or can’t have? Jealousy? A perceived infringment on a territory that isn’t mine? All of which are no doubt fueled by a synergy of my hormones and boredom…
Besides the obvious drama that could come of the situation. Between myself Marl, and Aubrey, the very last thing I want is to get on the bad side of Vann’s parents Fred and Tina. I live in their house. If they are concerned about my hanging around Aubrey. That’s the letter and the law and I must abide by the rules of the people who have been so generous as to give me a place to live these last few months. I don’t like it. But they are also right. I’m really not just interested in a tickle fight. In fact, things of that nature are a common gateway for me…
I think I need to stop whatever the hell it is I’m doing right now and not give into temptation on any level anymore. For everyone’s sake.
