As I sat there, reading her words, feeling my heart break

piece

piece

I did something I never imagined I would do.

I picked up my cell phone.

I grabbed the piece of paper from my pocket with her number on it.

I dialed.

It rang.

She answered.

I told her that I was ‘the guy’ she had been chatting with on Yahoo for the last hour.

I went on to tell her exactly who I was.

I explained to her that we were both blind and had been dating the same guy.

She was shocked.

I was numb.

We talked.

And talked.

And talked some more.

Since I had left his house that morning, he had not been in contact with either one of us.

We both felt that he knew he was busted.

She found a babysitter and drove to Green Bay.

I found a babysitter and prepared to meet up with her.

She attempted to call him and he ignored her call.

I tried and he picked up.

We talked as if nothing had happened.

He was half in the bag.

I asked him what he was up to.

He informed me that him and some buddies were in their way to a local bar.

I told him to have fun and I was going to bed.

I lied.

The Other Woman and I got into my car.

We drove to the bar.

We each pulled up at bar stool and ordered a drink.

We sat and waited.

He walked in and didn’t see either of us.

There we were…..his 2 girlfriends….sitting next to each other…..enjoying a beer…..

Then his friend spotted me.

He came over.

I said, “Have you met my new friend The Other Woman”?

He was in shock.

I said,” I think the least you can do is buy us each a drink”.

He did.

He was speechless.

I was thrilled!
