He doesn’t seem to like that flavor of ice cream. His girlfriend, Erin, had bought it and left
it in his freezer. Now Jeremy was
craving something sweet and the ice cream was just sitting there. Unfortunately, that look across his face is
clearly one of distaste. Oh well. Erin likes it anyway. He’ll just leave it in the freezer for her
next time she comes over. If she comes
over again.
They’ve
been having trouble. The arguments are
frequent now. Sure, most of the time it’s
no big thing. Most of the time it’s
actually the same thing, over and over again.
The arguments come in different variations each time, but narrowing them
down to their cores, it’s always just the same thing.
I think
Jeremy is pretty aware of the deteriorating state of their relationship. He doesn’t bother himself with it now,
though. He just got off work and he’s
exhausted. Well, he’s late
actually. Probably worked late. Too bad the ice cream is no good. A glass of tea will probably do the
trick. Yep, there. He’s poured himself a glass and settled down with
a book.
TV used
to be a sort of vice for him. Day in,
day out, he would work, eat, watch TV, and sleep. So he sold the TV. Sold it for her. Not Erin, but for Victoria. I like Victoria, personally. She’s a good friend. She pays more attention to me than Erin does. She likes me.
She slaps me on the back sometimes, kinda hard. In a playful kinda way though, I can tell. It’s in her voice. She’s gentle though, too. And she listens. She worries about Jeremy. That’s the thing. And she’s not afraid to speak her mind.
Victoria
is one of those points of argument between Jeremy and Erin. Erin gets jealous, and it’s
understandable. Jeremy is emotionally
just as close to Victoria as he is to Erin.
But he’s not a two-timer. Jeremy
is a good, trustworthy guy. Erin is a
wonderful girl, and he knows that, and he loves her. But I don’t think they’re going to last. Not at this rate. And when they finally break up, they will
both hurt, but they will both end up happier for it.
Besides,
maybe Victoria will be around more after that.
Jeremy has been a little bit hostile towards her lately. Because of the arguments, of course. It’s not his fault. Not entirely.
He’s confused and he doesn’t know what to do. Someday it will be clear to him though. I believe it.
Jeremy
just laughed at something in his book.
He’s got a funny laugh, like he tries to hold it back, but not too hard,
since laughing feels good. He laughs at
me when I laugh. He knows I’m laughing,
but he thinks its funny cus it sounds a lot like when I’m grumpy. Heh, its kinda funny thinking about it now
myself.
I walk
up to him now. He’s finished the
book. He was really closed to finishing
it last night, but he just couldn’t keep his eyes open. He kept nodding off in his chair. It was cute.
I think he’s cute sometimes. He
wouldn’t like that, but it’s true.
He
looks at me. “Hey bud,” he says. He’s calm and collected, but I can see it on
his face. I can see what happened. I guess it makes sense. That’s why he was late coming home. And he wouldn’t have eaten her ice cream
otherwise. He leaves her things be,
normally. “Hey, so Erin and I broke
up. We met after work. It’s a good thing. I’m sure of it,” he says.
I look
at him sympathetically. He’s sad. But he already realizes it, he’s also
free. I’m happy for him. He pats me on the head. “I’ve been mean to Vicky lately. Think I should invite her over for dinner?” I jump up into his lap, purring in
response. “Haha, yeah, I know you like
her. It’s decided then. She’s a good friend and I need to make sure
she knows that.” Settling down, curling
up into a ball, he pets me and I purr.
He’s happy and so I’m happy. His
lap is warm and he’s relaxed. Victoria
will come soon. It’s a good
moment. Perfect Bliss.
