Just when you thought the scary story ends...

I sent mr. alpha-ex a text this am. I sent it to shut the door firmly to future correspondence. Here is what it said:

"Hey one last thing. It was great seeing you. It's good to know neither one of us is attracted to each other anymore, isn't closure a thing of beauty? Now we can move on into our next relationships without any question. Good luck alpha-ex. :) "

I didn't expect I'd hear from him again and didn't care if I did.

Tonight more than 12 hours after the text was sent a call came into my cell from him. I answered: "hey you". Nothing dead air. I could hear sounds in the background and said hello a couple more times and the signal went dead.

I called his cell back. It rang to voice. I hung up. I waited a couple minutes and called again. Honestly my worst trait in this business is curiosity. I'm driven to know what the story is. It goes to voice mail again. I leave a message saying something like "hey did your ass just call me? Cuz my phone rang and I figure you might be sitting on your phone."

Five minutes later he calls again.

I pick up... I say again "hey you".

Him: "did you just call me?"

Me" "yep, you called me."

Him: "I called you?"

Me: "Ya, you called me and I called you back. I said hey, you and I heard noise in the background."

Him: "Hey you?" he repeats the words I'd said in greeting and when he says this I hear the sound of dread in his voice and I know.

Me: "She called me."

Him: "ya"

Her: screaming something I can't make out but it's at him and it's not happy noise

Him: "tell her how I haven't been talking to you"

Me: "what!"

Him realizing I'm not going to cover his fool ass says the following to her.

Him: "I haven't seen her and haven't talked to her since the winter!" (We weren't even dating in the winter which makes me think he was likely seeing the both of us in the spring and he can't say that cuz she'll know he cheated on her back then too.)

Me: I hang up.

I text him within two minutes

Me: wtf

I didn't send that to get a reply back. I sent it to confirm to her that this guy is a loser with a capital L. I really know how to pick em...
