Final Goodbye

I hope that this goodbye is final. I had already bidden him goodbye, after our second meeting that culminated in love-making at a hotel along Recto Avenue.

He wouldn't make a good partner, as his recent actions would prove. We had agreed to meet yesterday evening, yet he went to Las Piñas for a cousin's despedida party. No problem with that. But did he inform me that he wouldn't be able to show up for our date? No, he didn't. I was just a text away. Lying in bed with him while he was busy pounding the keypad of his mobile phone, I sarcastically remarked, "Marunong ka palang magtext!" He didn't respond.

I had to call him several times, within 30 minutes or so of each other, to remind him about our meeting. The first time I called him (around 8:30 pm), he said he'd leave the party around 10 pm. When I called back around 9:45 pm, he said he was already waiting for a bus ride. Around 10:45 pm, I called him to ask for his whereabouts. He replied that he was already on the way. At 11:45 pm, I called him again (I was already in the vicinity of his house) and he said he hadn't left and asked where I was going to wait for him. I said, "Isetann Recto."
At 12:15 I began a series of 4 calls from the PLDT Payphone at the Mini-Stop located at the corner of Quezon Boulevard and Recto Avenue that didn't get a reply from him. I went to this place for a recharge of my cellphone battery. When my cellphone was charged enough to hold a call, I dialed him and he responded, with an obvious irritation in his voice. "Where are you? I am leaving now for home for it's late and I have to leave early tomorrow for work." I got frantic, trying to appease him, the tone of my voice begging him to stay. I didn't wait this long just to be abandoned. Luckily, he waited for me.

We finally were able to get to our favorite motel. And he played the hard-to-get game again. Not allowing me to kiss him on his face, and showing annoyance at every attempt I made to kiss him. I did remember that he initiated a lip-to-lip kiss last time we were in the hotel. I also haven't forgotten that he promised to do a BJ on me on our second meeting. This was now our 3rd meeting and he still had'nt made good on his promise, not to mention that he conveniently forgot to pay me the P200 he borrowed from me last time.
I've gotten tired of the game he's playing and disengaged, assuming a fetal position and closing my eyes to indicate I was going to sleep. I never attempted to touch him after that.
When a hotel attendant came to our room for the wake up call, I paid for a 2-hour extension, informing Marlon that he could go ahead and I would stay behind. I didn't know what came to him, but he decided to stay with me, telling me that he'd call in sick or words to that effect.
I hope not to see him again in the near future. He's not been very good to me and I know deep in my soul that he wouldn't make a good partner.
