The village idiot of Las Vegas says goodbye to his friend Roxy...

"Look, I'm back with Jeff now. He called and said that he was sorry about things and I accepted his apology. That means whatever thing you and I had is over." I hadn't heard from Roxy in a few weeks, so I decided to give her a call last night. Before I could even say hello, she had to give me the news about getting back with her ex (the one who used to beat her). "Roxy, I realize that I'm not your guy. I'm not that stupid, but why in the hell would you get back with that turd. Eventually, he's going to hit you again. Is that what you want?" Roxy has had an on again off again relationship with this clown in California. He started out as one of her clients and then he decided he wanted her all for himself. This guy is the biggest prick that you will ever meet, but he's loaded, so that keeps him popular.

"You don't need to worry about things that don't concern you. He's changed and so have I. We've both agreed that it's time for me to get out of the business. Next week I'm moving back to California so we can be together on a permanent basis." Roxy has told me on a number of occasions that the call girl business was starting to get to her. "I've got a job lined up in La Hoya and I'll be out of this place soon." 

I remember the first time the two of us were intimate like it was yesterday. I was working on Christmas and after work I walked out to my car and she was leaning against it waiting for me. We had a few drinks and then went back to her place. It was the best Christmas present I've ever had. I had a good idea of what her profession was before we were together, but I didn't care. Let's face it, who am I to judge. Now, if she wants to go back to California, fine, but it's her choice in men that disturbs me more than anything and I wanted to make sure she understood that.

"I think you're making a big mistake by getting back with this guy. All he's going to do is treat you like a piece of his property. Sooner or later the two of you will have it out again and someone will end up getting hurt." It seems like every time I open up the paper or turn on the news in Las Vegas; I see another story about how some possessive husband/boyfriend killed his wife/girlfriend in a jealous rage. As morbid as this sounds, I could see that happening to her. The history of abuse with this guy is already present. The odds say it will continue. "Jethro, you don't need to worry about me. I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself. He promised me that he would get therapy for his past indiscretions and I believe him."

I like to end every post of mine with a thought I'm having...Call it the village idiot thought of the day. "I can live with the fact that Roxy doesn't want to be with me; the problem being, she's picking the wrong guy to be with. I pray nothing bad happens to her."
