I lost her.

* 17 *

Marichien was a nice girl. We went out on a date and I got to know her. She wasn't too bad to date but I suppose she wasn't exactly what I wanted. So I told myself I would just keep her close incase a change arises.

I guess Lizelle was the one I really wanted to be with.

I was in my room after my date with Marichien when Lizelle came over.

"I've been missing you. I can't even kiss you because of all this flu." she moaned.
"Well, don't worry. How was your day in bed?"
"Argh very productive." she joked. "What did you do today?" she asked me.
"Huh?"
"Uhm... Did you get up to something?" she chuckled.
"Well. Yeah Uhm... Just went to see my friend."
"Oh okay. Well I want to snuggle up here this afternoon."
"Feel free. The bed is all yours."

Within minutes she was knocked down from her flu. My friend, King, knocked on my door.

"Come in."

He walked in
"Dude!"
"Hey man, how are you?" I asked him.
"I'm fine. Just wanted to see how you are doing after the whole situation with your girl and child."
"Shhh!!!" I stopped him.

I signaled that Lizelle was sleeping.

"Well I'm okay." I whispered.
"Dude, don't let this girl play you. It's just a trap. This is what all these girls do. They get pregnant on purpose just to keep you in wraps. Let her go and her kid." King said.
"It's exactly what I did and she's not my girl anymore."
"That's what I'm talking about. I just wanted to make sure you're okay and not letting this consume you. Here are tons of pretty girls who won't do this to you, stay strong."

That was all I needed to hear. Reaffirmation that I wasn't crazy. Courtney was trying to trap me and King saw right through it, he was right about this and I would stick to my decision of not being with her.
