Now for your irregularly scheduled Eomer/Xerxes story!
tldr: bump in to her before a concert, she invites herself back to my place along with a dude she"s with, sends dude packing, talks her way in to my bed, but then won"t put out. Chicks
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:So I went to Roger Waters last night. Hadn"t seen Xerxes since my Christmas party, but had texted a couple times about random inconsequential shit. A few weeks back she posted on FB that she had spare Black Keys tix as she had a stagette to go to, so a friend of mine bought them off her and we had a lovely, bromantic Saturday night. Unfortunately yesterday I was left with an extra Waters ticket, so I posed on FB that I had one, free to good home. A different female friend called dibs fairly quickly.
An hour or two before the show Xerxes texts me, asking if I still have the ticket. She was going with a guy friend, and his girlfriend would go with him and Xerxes would join me if I still had the ticket. Alas it was taken, I told her that they were too late, sorry. As it turned out, the two of them were half a block down the street at a different bar than I was, and she put a weed brownie out as bait. She knows me so well. So naturally I stroll over there, and walking down the street Xerxes up and offers me a joint of the dude"s weed instead. I"m like "uhm, well no that"s cool but I don"t want to take your last spliff" but the guy says "oh no worries man, more brownie for me" and hands me the joint. I like this guy. No idea what the situation with him and her was/is, he"s apparently got a GF but Xerxes also seemed to indicate later there may have been a past there. Hilariously, he looks a lot like me as well. Shaved head, 5"9"ish, etc. They hop on the train to the show, and I go back to meet the people I"m going with.
After the show we"re packed like sardines on the platform waiting for the train, and of course who ends up packed in the train right beside us but Xerxes and her sidekick? When we get to my station and get off, I tell her to go left as that"s where her car is parked, and I go the other direction with the last minute fill-in friend. Walk the friend to her car, say bye, get up to my place, put on Animals and turn off the lights to veg in peace on the couch. Sure enough phone rings, and it"s Xerxes wanting to come by because she just needs to "settle down" or something like that.
They come in to my place, and both are super baked from the brownies apparently. Dude is baked but otherwise fine as he seems to be a chronic. Xerxes doesn"t look all that baked, but insists she"s super messed up and not able to drive. Awkward small talk ensues for a few minutes, and then Xerxes tells dude that he can go if he wants, she"s going to stay. Dude is confused but goes along with it. As we"re walking to the front door, Xerxes all of the sudden says she"s going to be sick and runs in to the bathroom. Me and dude stand there half-listening to her, and I"ll be honest, I"m only 50% sure she even was puking. Finally dude just kind of shrugs and is like "well, uh, good meeting you?" and leaves. Good man.
Xerxes comes out of the bathroom a few minutes later, apologizing for being sick and messed up etc. I say no worries. We sit on the couch for a minute or two, it"s about midnight by this time, and I get up and say I"m going to bed. I grab her a few pillows and blankets, ask if she needs anything else, and head to bed. Right away I put on my headphones to get some more Floyd in. Sure enough within 5 minutes I hear her hollering, asking if I"m still awake. She says she can"t sleep, she"s coming to join me. I laugh and say that"s fine but I"m naked (only way to sleep, feels good man). She indicates her disgust, I tell her I"ll put on my boxers, she comes over with one of the blankets from the couch. So naturally I move in for a spoon, only to discover she"s all wrapped up in the other blanket. Bullshit.
Right away she says she didn"t come over to screw around, but isn"t it strange how she just ended up here like it was meant.... and I cut her off right there and more or less said "yeah, it"s strange you ended up here when I told you your car was in the opposite direction of my place and you called me 10 minutes later to come over." She laughs it off. I just can"t bring myself to say the kind of shit she wants to hear to get in her pants. She"s fun to hang with occasionally but I have zero interest in a relationship with her, I would just like to bone her, and I can"t fake being interested when I"m not.
So we chat a bit, she says that she thought we were past that "weird/confusing" place and were just friends. "Wearepast that weird/confusing place. There"s nothing confusing here. If you show up at my place late at night, I am going to try to get in your pants. Let"s be clear about this. You can turn me down and I won"t be offended or pissed, that"s fine too. Just don"t be surprised when I make a move."
Past that I was drifting in and out while she talked a bit, and don"t really remember much of what was said. Mostly I just wanted to sleep. Drove her to her car this morning and that was about it.
I think she"s just going to keep checking in every 6 months to see if I change my mind.
