The Computer Charger

I spent the whole summer practically drooling over my ex.boyfriend Trey. Going out on weekends, attending after work events on weekdays and even making the effort to text each other more. We were great friends. I asked all my questions and received all my answers. The chemistry was there but there would be no part two to our once upon a time teenage love affair. I was so content just to have my friend back. Through the years we literally went through our ups and downs. Sometimes we would love each other and then turn around and hate each other. So when he revealed to me he would be going to visit his home country for two weeks for a family reunion, I immediately tried to figure out how much time that left us to just “kick it” for the rest of the summer. The night before his departure he came over to chill and essentially say good bye. He asked me to show him how to download music, the legal way of course(since lime wire cease to exist anymore) and that question was followed by “ Can I borrow your computer charger?” I said “Sure” being the good friend that I am. I figured he would just use it for the night and give it right back to me before he left, Right?

That night I waited up for him to call me until 1 in the morning. No Call. I went to sleep reluctantly because I wanted to make sure I heard his call if he wanted to return the charger(how foolish of me).I woke up at 5am and felt compelled to remind him that he needs to return my charger. The text exclaimed “Trey I will kill you if you take my blasted charger.” 8:48 the next morning he text back to say “Chill I’m not taking your charger.” That was two weeks ago and Im currently left with no charger and a dead Mac. While he’s vacationing, I’m left stagnant which means:

·      No applying to law schools.

·      No asking professors for recommendations,

·      No applying to jobs,

·      No updating my blogs,

·      No communication via internet

I’m just left with my thoughts and my notebook. What I have come up with is that he is irresponsible, inconsiderate and selfish. Lord knows if this was a couple of years ago I would go HAM, but since I have matured a little, I am trying to think of a nice way to explain how beyond insensitive and careless he was and is.

Thus, my infatuation with my ex is over. I’m snapped back into reality and I am reminded why we aren’t together. Who would have known all this clarity would of came from a computer charger or lack there of.
