Those of you unfamiliar with my Alpha-ex story could read this link and get more of the story.
Why do I bring it up you ask? Why thank you for asking!
I saw him at the gym.
I knew I would eventually. I hadn't seen him the eight other times I went - but yep there he was tonight.
I knew him as soon as I saw him. I was like "oh crap".
I was like "oh crap", because I was having a dowdy day. Most women will know what I mean by a 'dowdy day'. I was wearing glasses for one thing! Yes they might be DKNY but they are still glasses. Secondly my hair was pulled back in a ponytail. I look cute with pigtails, I look dowdy with a pony. Crap.
I was at the gym with a male friend. I told my friend I had a personal question to ask him as we ran round the track. He wasn't expecting the question - we don't talk about my love life AT ALL or even much about me. I asked him if I looked really bad. I told him an ex-boyfriend who was a real jerk was at the gym and I felt I looked bad. He asked me what the other guy looked like - better or worse than I'd seen him before. Good question. I answered, "I think worse". He said all that matters is you look better than him. Then he reassured me I looked good.
We rounded the track and were going to have to pass in front of him. My friend asked me which dude and I said "the one in the yellow shirt.". He looked at me. "Really?". I'm like, "um..ya". He looked at me and said, "you have NOTHING to worry about." Then he asked if the guy wasn't waaaay older than I am. I said ya a bit. He just shook his head and said you need to peacock by him. I'm like, "no I'm going to pretend to talk to you."
So I did I turned my head to my friend and prepared to run by without noticing him.
But...
Alpha-ex extended his arm out making me have to look. I looked. He waved - grinned and I waved and wanly grinned. I ran past him.
I made a point of short circuiting my run so I didn't pass him from then on.
My friend for what it's worth thought my ex was terribly awkward and wondered what the sticking his arm out was for. He wondered if he wanted me to stop. I don't think so - he just wanted me to know he was there.
Gawd.
