Right Place, Wrong Person
While BF attended the memorial service on Saturday, I vegged out on his couch and finished reading a Caleb Carr novel. His land line rings and though I instinct is to pick it up (why?), it goes to voice mail. This was the message left by JSquared's sister:
Some background: Though JSquared and I have been dating for around eight months, he has yet to tell his parents about me. For some perspective, I told my parents about our first date. He claims that it is because his mother gets over enthusiastic about the women that he dates and that she gets very disappointed when it doesn't work out. (Though this may be the case, I think the real reason why he doesn't say anything is because he doesn't want his parents to know how many women he has dated). However, after a pleasant vacation in the Caribbean, JSquared finally strapped on a set and decided to tell his parents about me while visiting them this weekend. Though I make fun, I do realize this is a big deal to him. He has only told his parents about two other girls in the past (at 34!) so this is his way of telling me (and them) that this is serious.
Back to the present - It was very strange to listen to the message, and yet it evoked an illicit thrill. Kind of like reading a passage from someone's diary and yet the person can't be mad at you for reading it. Plus, now I know JSquared's hand has been forced and he can't back out of telling the parentals about me. However, I am perturbed about his sister's comment about it being no "big deal." Was she implying that our relationship wasn't a big deal?
When JSquared got home and he listened to the message, I could tell he felt slightly uncomfortable. He said that his sister should not left a message like that, knowing that I'm at his apartment most weekends. I disagree - I hope she leaves more messages just like that one!
"JSquared, we've been outed. Mom heard about our myspace pages from K and checked them out without telling us. Then she called me and said 'JSquared has a girlfriend! And she is blond! And she is a lawyer!' I told her that yes I knew about her and that it was no big deal and that you were planning on telling her about the girlfriend when you were home this weekend. I guess the cat is out of the bag now!"
