I had a rich social life, meetings between frivolous and important meetings. Normally, up to two years ago.
I started with two bus tickets to go and return, reported the date of the day I met him.

I glued my eyes on him, as the most shameless of courtesans, regardless of his years at least. Him with the smile of children playing, after less than an hour I was pushed into a doorway, taking expert, without any embarrassment.
I had played with care, as you would a porcelain doll, dismissed with a tender kiss on the tip of the nose and leaving a note in his hands: his phone number. As a teenager I was enchanted path flying the long way home, I never had happened.
I had thrown on the couch, curled up, decided to keep all the ecstasy, the unbelievable. Did not wish to bathe or eat.
I just wanted to keep. I was unable to separate myself from that clash sparks whose providential I had entered in the flesh.
so I spent an afternoon and night unable to move, to find a solution. Then the idea: I have sealed in clear plastic bags inside the clothes I wore, numbered. Panties and bra bring the number one and two.

The matter now has become cumbersome. Each time was a new lipstick, a perfume, a pair of socks, shoes and more ... Need to amaze me, to cover my rust, but his eyes went immediately over to cannibals, proceed regardless.
I hated the blatant indifference to my wasteful, but I could not do without his assaults. I was the booty, he is the bandit.
Dirt bandit.

I know, it was the fault of that look grainy, innocent, in which confused me sinking in a spiral of evil.
bought some things for him of course, to remind him that I appreciated that I wanted. Perhaps only to repay him for his being in excess. Licked.

One day I found myself in the bathroom and, with a quick gesture language of lizard, I stuck my hand into the water - catching the condom he had used - I have heard that the game took me. I wrapped in a piece of toilet paper and I have hidden in her purse and placed it in the box. Then, I sensed the danger. Like a magpie I seized a piece of fingernail or hair remained between the sheets, but also set aside the bills sip with the layout of our telephone conversations. The relics

No promises.
Over time, these fleeting encounters - between strangers and different - not enough for me anymore. I pretended to be content. But in that silence that I belonged celavo jealousy and resentment inside.
My goal was not to lose, clinging slowly in a transparent texture.
I began to weave a golden lasso in the first meetings rarely - trusting in the rising tension of waiting - then a first holiday for two. After a year of fleeting encounters: with every day! So triumph, victorious, won on that everyday.

dismay and terror on her face showed me what he really was: a stupid man who afraid to die.
Now I'm here like you. Employee. Addicted. Consumed. Abstinent. In a therapeutic group of alcoholics, smokers, drug addicts, with the only peculiarity of myself enslaved to a substance but not a man. Sick of that substance or maybe just my obsession.
