Unfazed
VK and I had the discussion from the last post as we were heading out the next night. I figured that if anything happens, cool, if not, whatever. It was a good learning experience, and my confidence was high.
We were heading to our second spot when VK gets the text from Jewish Boobs, wondering where we were at. “I’m not going to tell her.” When we got to the second spot, she hit him up saying she was going to XYZ club. 20 minutes later, she arrives at our spot, with the usual suspects. We let them come to us. Once you post up on the wall, you ain’t going anywhere.
Eventually Tall Blondie comes over, and congratulates me on graduating, and asks if I want a drink. She’s buying? Of course. VK also bought a round, so now I’m in the club, double fisting.
I didn’t bother Tall Blondie, even though I knew she was there for me. I was posted up, surveying the spot. But it wasn’t going to plan. See, we hoped that the next time I did run in to her, I would be chatting up an even hotter girl. However, this spot was sorta lacking. There wasn’t much there to inspire any of us. Where have all the cute girls gone? Miss Kenya was there, so I chatted with her for a bit. Gotta make her jealous with somebody.
While this was happening, Tall Blondie is chatting and dancing with Buff Dude. Sure I noticed, but perhaps she didn’t think I noticed, because she dragged him over to dance like, right in front of me and my crew. It was so blatant. And she was having the time of her life dancing with Buff Dude. At least she was trying to make it look that way. But she didn’t realize I had a secret weapon: real-time, reliable intel that CIA directors have wet dreams over. A spy crossing enemy lines, and quickly back under the barbed wire: VK.
“Yo, so Buff Dude, he’s with Miss Kenya, so you’re straight. She’s just trying to play you.”
This was seriously the best game she could throw at me: dancing with her girl’s man. It was pathetic, and it brought a smile to my face. Soon after, Buff Dude stopped dancing with her. Epic jealousy fail. I was already unfazed. Now she just made my night.
A little later we made our exit for the next spot. I gave Tall Blondie a hug and thanked her for the drink. What I saw on her face said a lot of things: confusion, anger, disgust, and lust. Her eyes told me she was upset that her games failed. She was no match for The Rookie.

The next morning, VK hit me up:
“Yo, my girl is in the shower, but I wanted to let you know, Tall Blondie is all about you man. She wanted to follow us to the third spot, but Jewish Boobs had to put her foot down.”
“No shit?”
“Yeah man, she was like ‘I wanna talk to The Rookie, but I always see him talking to other girls.’ Basically she’s got Mystery Dude, who’s leaving the country for good next month. She’s trying to hold out on you until that’s over and then be all about you.”
“I’m not trying to wait till next month though.”
“You’re good man. All you gotta do is hit her up in a couple of days, tell her you weren’t happy about how some things went down, and just go get drinks. Grown man shit.”
Maybe you can pull this off…. the fact that she bought you a drink and tried to make you jealous by dancing with another dude in front of you were tell tale signs.
I think I was in the driver’s seat the whole time, and just didn’t know it.

Nice quote.
And that dude failed a shit load of times.
Nice work. She tried to get rise out of you and you didn’t bite.
It’s a great feeling to turn the tables like that.
Significant confidence boost. The Rookie aint no chump.
pass on being the fallback once some guy leaves the country. it is what it is if u really want to play just the tip, but you gotta decide if you want to be the fall back to some other cat.
and not biting when she’s trying to flaunt that shit, is tough. though, having the intel removes all the smoke and mirrors…..ala Wizard of Oz and the curtain in Emerald City
I don’t mind being the fallback as long as I get some. After a bit I’d just move on.
staying cool as ice was the right move and it seems you hold most of the cards, but don’t celebrate yet.
i think there’s more games to come. she won’t make it easy having been shown up like that.

You are so obviously a closet case.
Just get it over with.
Sometimes I enjoy reading about power plays. I don’t know why but this one just doesn’t appeal to me. Been watching too many romantic comedies. It sounds like you did well though, not letting her bother you. So props.
