She Bolted

I actually thought my life was forever ruined. I mean, I had just spent a night explaining to Tanya how much I cared for her, how much she meant to me and how much I wanted to give up my philandering ways to be with her and her alone. Bet then - everything went to hell…

I suppose it’s a curse of mine that most women seem to like me… well, until they get to know me and find out that most women seem to like me. Ha! But I digress. After having told Tanya how I felt, I was expecting a “honeymoon” of sorts where everything goes perfectly. You know, that time when she can do no wrong and she ignores all of my faults. Well we skipped right over that into some freaky Twilight Zone episode. The next morning everyone seemed to be talking about us. That didn’t bother me much since I would rather have everyone talking about me than no one. Unfortunately, Tanya didn’t see it that way. She ran.

After watching Tanya bolt I was stunned and temporarily catatonic. I kept going over and over in my head the events of the past day trying to figure out what I did wrong. I mean when something goes this bad it’s usually my fault. But, I had nothing. Unfortunately, I am usually the last one to know when it comes to this sort of thing.

Before Tanya disappeared, I had discovered that she had some history with a young Quileute name Embry. He seemed like a nice guy, but I felt he still harbored feelings for her. I tried to smooth things out between us which eventually led to us shaking hands as a token gesture. But the kid had the grip of a power-vise. In fact, he nearly broke my hand. Not wanting to make matters worse I tried to be cool about it. Clearly, I couldn’t actually fault the guy for being a little upset. You see, I know all too well what it feels like to have your heart set on a particular girl only to be rebuked. In the end I think we ended up having at least some respect for one another.

Anyways, regardless of why Tanya freaked, she and I finally got to speak later that night at her new house in Forks. Truthfully, I decided to set up camp in her driveway until she calmed down enough to talk with me. The really weird part of this was that Senna, a girl I had just broken up with to be with Tanya, actually helped me calm her down so that we could talk. I owe Senna a lot for that. Hopefully, I’ll be able to repay her some day. As for my conversation with Tanya, well that’s private. All I can say is we ended up having a beautiful, erotic and a most definitely tiring night.
