Talk morphed into coffee and then coffee morphed into dinner So ent on one date So what? It was okay, but nothing special To be honest, I’m not attracted to her at all Cherise is a skinny little thing with platinu pink velour sweats when she works out, often pairing her sweats with a white sports bra that shows off her nipples I guess to uys, Cherise is the very definition of hot with her skinny frame and bottle blonde hair

But for yot the impression that all she cared about was a hot bod and a fat wallet I was cordial during dinner but was ada it after dessert There was no way I was bringing her back to ed me for it I even broke down and told her as kindly as I could that she just wasn’t my type

Even so, Cherise didn’t take the hint Either that, or she flat out doesn’t care She’s been co out by yh I have to avoid her where I work out, but now I have to deal with her textingme if I want to meet up for drinks Doesn’t she have a job she should be at?

I ignore the text and slip the phone back into my pocket It always seems to be like this There are tons of wo I try to conjure up the ie of the perfect woman forof herself

Unbidden, hter’s best friend, Rose I know it’s wrong Not only is shetoo I try to shake off the thought, and as if in a bad drea me in my head

Get a grip, she’d snigger That girl’s still in the cradle

Well, cradle or not, Rose is better than my ex My God, Nicole was the definition of a beautiful bitch She had long, silky blonde hair and eyes the color of the ocean But her looks renderedDon’t getbecause I loved her Well, a part of her at least At ti with She could be playful and very creative when it ca Lucy, e both adored But ot the best of me far too many times

To be frank, I think she loved our lifestyleapartment, and the fancy dinners I think deep down she loved us too, but Lucy and I weren’t her top priority Not even close As the years went on, Nicole’s patience wore thin One day, she jumped ship to Europe in order to “find the freedorow” I still don’t knohat that means, but I was livid when I found the note by the front door I have never forgiven her for walking out on our daughter On hter is another story, and Lucy was heartbroken when she realized her one

I tried to fill the gap, but what man can be both mother and father? It’s impossible Still, Lucy has turned out to be a wonderful worateful every day

Plus, looking back, I get angry because Nicole was a vicious bitch She didn’t hitlike that, but she belittled me non-stop She broke down my spirit, even if it’s not manly to admit Every fault and weakness that I have, every inch of self-doubt, she did everything in her power to bring to the surface And once it was at the surface, she nified it until it was all I could think about She used it as a retaliation tactic whenever she felt I had done her wrong

You see, Nicole is the one who is truly insecure deep down This insecurity led to ie at the ser If I paid any woman besides her even the most minuscule amount of attention, she would lose herwith the waitress or held the door open for an elderly lady on the way into the store, she viewed it as an act of total infidelity
