Cheater Cheater Pumpkin Eater

Action Speak Louder Than Words
Jealousy. Jealousy can rip relationships apart. Usually it means one of them is insecure. Other times it’s because of their pasts.

This is Caitlin with her story.

Bubbly personality but appears quiet around large groups. Big hearted girl that is very high spirited. Long luscious blonde hair that flows in the wind. Dating Corbin for a year now, is becoming suspicious of her boyfriend. See there is a girl named Kelsey who is always around Corbin and seems to be texting him as if THEY were the ones dating. News flash, I am dating him, not Kelsey.

One night, Caitlin receives a text from her boyfriend saying;
“Hey babygirl. My friend wants to go to a party tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to go?”
Caitlin being the girl who wants to be a perfect girlfriend wanted to say yes, but she knew her parents wouldn’t allow her to stay at another boys house. With a big sigh, she texts back,
“Babe, you know how my parents are. Looks like you are going without me. Hope you have a great time. Be safe, I love you.. /:”
“Okay babe.. bye.”

Caitlin a little frustrated ignores the sarcastic text Corbin had sent her. Worried all night about him, she ends up finally falling asleep around two in the morning. Restless sleep. Tossing and turning, flipping the pillow every hour to the cold side, hoping that she will get some sleep tonight.

Seven in the morning comes around and she has only had about three hours of sleep. Deciding to just get up and start the day, she receives a text from Corbin. Beyond excited she replies, “Good morning babby!! I miss you! How was last night? Kelsey wasn’t there was she? I love you!” She hadn’t gotten a text back until a half hour later;
“Hey Caitlin.. Kelsey was and still is here. Why…”
“Oh just wondering. That’s all.”
“Seems like it’s a big concern to you.”
“No it’s not. How was last night?”
“Fine…”
“Why do you keep putting so many dots?”
“I don’t know. I have to go.”

Caitlin had the biggest knot in her stomach. Why did SHE have to be there? Of all parties, she was at that one? How come she has to try and get with MY boyfriend? There are more fish in the sea, go grab your own!

Being the protective and worried girlfriend, she quickly took a shower, got dressed and jumped into her car. She had a bad feeling about last night, and she was going to get to the end of this feeling. Determined.

Driving to where her boyfriend was, she saw him standing outside, with a girl. Caitlin’s stomach dropped to the floor board. Tears began streaming down her face, causing makeup to run. Caitlin pulls over to where she can see him but he can’t see her. Outta site, outta mind.

The girl kept getting closer and closer to him. She was wearing a white tank top that was complete see through showing her snow white belly. Ripped blue short shorts. No shoes and hair thrown up like she had a rough night. Appearing to have noses touching, I felt chills go down my neck to my toes within a millisecond. I can’t believe this. Why would he cheat on me? He told me he loved me! He just said he was happy. How can he do this to me! Why?! Why?! Why?!

Without thinking, she drove up to where he had been standing. Corbin recognizing the car jumped and had no idea how to respond. Kelsey standing closely to him ran away like a little boy does when he knows Momma is going to be spanked.
“Caitlin, I-I-I don’t know what to say.. She came .. and baby, I love you. You know that.”
With tears coming down harder than before, I didn’t care to listen to any lie coming out of his mouth.
“Corbin, we are over. I can’t believe you. Return all my stuff today by 6pm. Erase my number. Don’t ever try to get contact with me again. Goodbye Corbin.”
Trembling in her own skin, scared out of her mind, not knowing what she was going to do with herself, she got into her car and left. Going straight home and tears filled in her eyes making things difficult to see.

She gave up her best friend. Her boyfriend. Her love that she never thought would do this. Done. Over with. Just like that.

Nothing. Nothing At All.

Laying in my semi large backyard on a long rectangle beach towel relaxing when my Mom yells out, “Nicole, go pick up your clothes. I’m leaving now, so it better be done when I get back.” “Okay Mom” I replied as I roll my eyes. Not wanting to move, I continued to do what I call nothing; texting and Facebook stalk.

Glancing at my phone to see the time, I realize an hour has passed. Mom will be home in a half hour. Still not moving, I text what are we about to… INCOMING CALL: Mommy.

“Hello? I reply sort of hesitant.
“Have you picked up your clothes yet?!” Mom replied, sounding hopeful but in doubt also.
“Uh….”
“Nicole! I left an hour ago.! What have you been doing this whole entire time?!
“I wasn’t doing anything. Just laying in the backyard enjoying this beautiful spring weather.”
“It’s impossible to be doing nothing first of all. Secondly, go do what I told you, or else you can’t go anywhere tonight. Okay, bye.” CLICK.
Hanging up on me very irritated, I got the hint and got up.

I have big plans tonight. I thought silently to myself. Finishing my text message, exiting out of my Facebook stalking moments, I got up unwillingly. Folding my towel nicely and setting it on the table inside and headed to my some what cluttered bedroom. Country music blasting, I begin putting clothes in baskets. Fifteen minutes later and the task is completed.

Walking down the hallway, I grabbed the towel I had been previously using with my phone in hand and proceeded to go into my backyard. Organizing myself and getting situated. Within minutes I hear the sliding glass door screech open. Before I get the chance to look up, Mom screams “Nicole! Are you serious? You can’t follow one simple task I ask you to do? You are not allowed to go anywhere tonight.”

Laughing and ignoring the words she had just said, she walks inside angrily. Continue to Facebook stalk and text, she walks outside and says “I’m sorry” so quiet that it was under her breath. Hearing every word she said, I asked “What did you say?”. “I said I’m sorry.” With the biggest grin on my face, I can’t help but acknowledge her and say “It’s okay Mommy.”

As I continue to enjoy the spring afternoon weather, and do nothing, my friend texts me saying – What are you doing? Simply reply, oh nothing(:.

Cinderella.

Winter. Summer. Fall. Spring.
Love. Warmth. Snuggling. Hot Cocoa. Fireplaces.

Darien was looking for a girl who would fit his sparkled glass slipper. Many times would he run into a good lookin’ female, but her foot never seemed to fit the slipper fully. Too big, too small.

One blizzardly winter evening, Darien met a girl he wasn’t too sure about. This particular girl had strawberry blonde hair, tiny like a baby panda and a shy personality. Girl instantly hooked onto this boy didn’t know how to approach him.

After many days spending endless hours together, Darien decided he would give it a try, ask the pretty girl out. Sitting in the ice cold movie theater, overly buttered popcorn, one large soda, Darien dug frantically through his pockets to find his phone. Quickly texting the girls best friend, he asked, “Should I hold her hand?” Within seconds, she replied yes! Reaching over, he grabbed her hand and butterflies flew throughout her stomach.

Next day rolled around, and it was official. Darien found the perfect girl with the perfect foot to fit in his glass slipper. Couldn’t be happier. The slipper still fitting nice and snug after a year and nothing will change that ... (:
