Serge calls me tonight sounding chipper, yet there was a note of caution in his voice.
” I have some news, sweeeteee.” he said
” What? ” I responded, expecting to hear he’d be coming home early.
” There’s a chance I could stay longer. ”
” How much longer? ”
Pause.
” Like, maybe until mid-April .”
” WHAT? ”
” Ow, my ear. ”
” Mid-April! I’ll be finished school by then! ”
” Well, it’s perfect timing then!” He was trying to be positive about this.
” Forget it! That’s too long! ”
” I know, I know, but I’m one of the top designer guys, and there could be big raise in it for me. It’s a great opportunity. ”
What’s a raise compared to lonliness? An empty apartment? A cat who meows constantly because she misses him too? How can I prepare for an unexpected three and a half more months without him? And let’s not forget he’s been gone since before Christmas!
What am I gonna do? This SUCKS! What’s the use of having a boyfriend if he’s never home?
