Drama..More Drama..

Dang it. I'm sick. And everyone know what that means. That means no Fitness First until I'm all right again. Am so frustrated I had to write it on the blog.

Ok,..so me and Patch didn't happen... apparently, according to Ms Confidant I was a prospect - one which he immediately denied soon as he realises that Ms Confidant and I are good friends. He said it straightaway that he was just playing.

Whatever. But, that was not what put me off. In fact, I wasn't put off. Not immediately. What happened was it sort of backfired.. hehe..

We went out, I introduced him to a friend of a friend's and he got hooked on that friend. Let's call 'that friend' Rudy - reasons for which I shall withhold from this blog. And so Patch fell into interest with Rudy. But you know, that's okay. Patch was a much needed distraction and he 'served' his purpose, for which I am thankful. I just wished it could've been for a longer time.. the stubbles.. and that voice.. hmm.. heheh..

However, I guess it was a blessing because, more than ever, Patch and I had more interaction while I was playing the middle-woman for them and I realise that Patch is not what I'm looking for. Another friend of mine urged me not to hook them up because Patch reminded her of her own brother and she didn't fancy Rudy, but as I told her, it is not in my - nor her - place to say. If they are fated to be together, than it shall be. Besides, it wasn't as if I'm so deeply in love with the guy or anything.

I asked for Rudy's permission to give him her number. Rudy conditioned that as long as he understands that she already has a boyfriend, and that she was only interested in being friends, it was fine. I made it clear to Patch and he was all for it. I told him to just be there for her, whatever. That girls go for that kind of thing.. Am I being the devil's advocate? Trying to help one side, and then at the same time possibly encouraging or having a hand in damaging the relationship of another, however indirectly?.. Heck, they are both adults who can think for themselves.

Rudy's guy sails and Patch said that from the sound of it(they messaged each other from morning till night the next day), they were having problems.

I probably should mention here that at one point in the past, Rudy tried to 'fight' with me over Dude. A 'fight' - if you can call it that - which I didn't even bother to participate. Because the moment I realise that Dude was seeing her back then, I stopped initiating any communication with him unless he started it. It wasn't out of bitterness nor out of spite that I did it. It was more out of principle. I do not intend to bother with someone else's significant other. The oddest thing happened then. Dude started to call me every few minutes for everyday in the week which puzzled me no end. At the end of the week, I asked him what was his relationship with Rudy, and he said friends. And then he admitted, they were cousins. Very distant cousins. I didn't want to ask it, of course since I had no right over him anyways, but his incessant attention was making me uncomfortable. Uncomfortable because I really thought he was with Rudy.

Right. That cousin thing checked out. I didn't go out of my way to confirm it, of course but it sort of came to me and confirmed by Rudy herself. Which was ironic since she wanted him for herself. That much was apparent.

The story's too long and I don't want to share that here now. Maybe never. I don't know. But whatever it was,..the summary was that, Dude did not keep in touch with her when he left the company, nor did he tell her where he was going. He only restored his 'friendship' or whatever with his 'cousin' after she apologised for any trouble she has caused him and after she was with someone else. The sailor guy. Well, a ship engineer, I think.

Back to the present.

And so, Patch is now after Rudy. My girl friends are eager to see just how long would Patch persist, and how strong would he push. Patch has taken matters in his own hands and have now stopped using me as the post woman.

We all went bowling the other day, me, Ally, Rudy, Patch, Dude and his friends. Ally said that it was apparent that Dude and I are tight. Which brought to Rudy's interrogation on me. She asked questions that tried to wheedle out just how much Dude and I hung out. If she has to know, that was the first time we actually hung out with his friends, and my friends. She just happen to be an impromptu invite. I answered her questions patiently only because she was Dude's guest and I have better manners than to dismiss her questions. Ally, who was there believes that Rudy still has issues with me concerning Dude.. This she says after she saw the dagger looks thrown my way whenever I joked or fooled around with Dude..Sheesh. I feel like telling Rudy to just stuff it and grow up!.. What irks me is that she asks as though she has a right over me, or Dude. That was simply disgusting.

..If I should write these things in detail,.. I would already be writing a kind of soap opera. :oP

Patch has stopped going through me for things with regards to Rudy, but that doesn't mean he has stopped trying. In fact, they're going for another match of bowling, this time his friends vs hers. Interesting.

I sincerely wish them the best and that everything works out for the better of both of them..

As for me and Dude.. I suppose we're just too good a friend to each other to cut off all ties. So, what it is now is, I'm going with the flow and hopefully I'll find my One as I go through life. Go through with whatever it is I'm supposed to go through to achieve whatever has been intended for me.

Well, there's still other fishes in the sea. Perhaps, not as many as I'd have liked, but it'd do. :o)
