I recognized the number immediately and answered promptly, "Roxy - it's been a while. What have you been up to?" Her sultry voice is unmistakable - "Living the Cali girl life." We chat for few minutes then she adds -"Jethro, I told myself that I was through with you. How many chances can a girl give a guy? But I read your blog and saw the picture you sent me of your dad. It melted my heart. You look just like him. I'm in between guys right now and I started thinking about how you would write about us being together and I want to have another one of those memories with you." Roxy has always been straightforward with me, and me with her. We're adults! Right? I tell her I have been thinking about her constantly since we split - "You know you are my girl. I would love to spend time with you. You know I love you." Her response was charmed, well, charmed enough for me any way.
"It's not that I don't love you Jethro. It's just that you are a loser, in a good way though. You are so fucking adorable. So I want to give us another go. I will be in town for Labor Day. I want to see you. Besides, I hear you have a nice condo of your own now." I decided to goad her a little and told her I had my eye on my neighbor, so I would have to work her in between things. Her response is pure Roxy - "Look, silly, when I get to town over Labor Day you won't remember any of those bitches in Las Vegas. Besides, your blog needs some risqué added. I will take care of that for you."
