That girl at work I mentioned the other week keeps asking me to go on smoke breaks with her everyday so we can chat. I usually don't have smokes on me as I want to quit, so she gives me one of hers. She chain smokes and smokes 2 in a row. Guys stop her in the street and try to get her number all the time. She's very tall and thin. Like a Portuguese model.
Last week Thursday we went for a smoke as per usual. I had a box of ciggies too that morning, so I took loads of cigarettes out of mine and tried to put them in her box because she was really low. I was going to buy her a box the following day as well. She kept refusing and I said, "Just take them". She said "Why don't you take me out for a drink instead so we can celebrate". "Celebrate what?"
She said, "Life" and she started smiling and playing with my collar. Our work colleagues think we're in a relationship. She told me earlier that her and this other guy are just friends now (and not 'friends friends') and she was going out for a coffee with him that day and was nervous. The next day I didn't push for that drink. I suspected she wasn't really single but she says she is. She asked me if I wanted to get a coffee with her after work. Then she said they went to an Italian restaurant instead of a coffee. After the meal, he hugged her in the street and leaned in for a kiss. She said she really liked that kiss.
The following day, I was friendly, but I cooled things down a bit. She found me, smiled and opened her arms for a hug and I gave her one. There's this other girl at work who's a friend of hers. She came up to me and said, "Don't say anything, but she asked me earlier if something is up with you as apparently you've been acting strange towards her? She also asked if I mentioned her bf to you".
I wasn't acting strange at all. I kept our conversations work related. You can't chat a woman up if she has a boyfriend. She's pretending she hasn't got one but obviously has. So then she said, "You should stay away from her or you might end up getting into a punch up with him". Apparently he's also 6'4" and my build.
This week, she asked me if I could help her decorate one of the rooms in her flat.
"My 'friend' has given me money to buy the tools and paint. I don't want to waste his money if you're no good..."
Unbelievable. She might have offered me money afterwards but I wouldn't have taken it.
"Why don't you get him to paint?"
"He can't until Sunday and it will take days to do as I need to paint blue walls white, so it will need several coats. I also have plastering that needs sanding down. I don't want you to mess it up if you can't do it properly as it's cost him money"
The next day I told her I was busy this week and couldn't help.
She's stopped talking to me now
I won't say anything further as this is isn't the place.
