A love story. Sort of.

I met Michael a while back, about a year ago.  I hadn't paid much attention to him, he's rather high maintenance and I simply don't have the time, energy or money to invest in Michael.  Still I coveted his company.   The mere smell of his skin was enough to send me over the edge.  I found myself intentionally seeking out his company, in public venues.  It was for my own protection.  The problem with Michael is it's difficult to be in public with one that others blatantly lust after.  And so I put Michael out of my mind.  And I didn't think Bill would approve.  So there's that.

But Michael came to visit.  And then stay at Christmas.  I began to feel like Gollum.  My Precious.  My Precious.    Ahhhhhhh, nobody puts Michael in a corner, or touches Michael.  I can't take Michael to Walmart, he'd be so insulted.     And that damn cat better not even THINK about getting near Michael.

So I had to start seeing Clark to take my mind off of Michael.  Clark doesn't mind Walmart or Target.  No one tries to steal Clark from me,  in fact woman rarely even acknowledge Clark.  Which kind of hurts my feelings for Clark.  He's so versatile and easy going.  Never pretentious.  Doesn't require any special attention.  Just always ready to go.   I love them both.

At the outlet mall somewhere in Destin

Me: ohhhh, I have to get a purse.
Bill:  I just bought you THAT purse for Christmas.
Me:  I can't take THIS purse into Walmart!!! I wouldn't be able to relax, it's not right.
Bill:  I don't understand, you said you loved that purse.
Me:  I do, I can't believe you bought me this for Christmas, BUT I'm not taking it into Walmart or some fast food place to sit on the ground. I'll never be able to eat worrying about it.
Bill:  You drive me crazy.
Saleslady:  Oh girl, I understand !! I wouldn't take that purse into a Walmart either.
Me:  Thank you!  I'll take that one, I think it's even on sale?
Saleslady: Oh girl, YES, it's marked down from 74.99 to 16.99!!! What a deal!
Me:  Perfect!!!
Bill:  You're all crazy.

Michael - tall, dark, handsome.   Clark - short, colorful, quirky.
