Red Headed Vixen: Finale
With the moving marked the end of a stage between the red head and me. Or to put it in a better word, the end to the entity known as the red head. I had originally tagged her with this name because it suits her personality perfectly: Hot headed, emotional, sloppy and persuasive.
All that ended when she became pregnant: an event that put her life in bas relief. Gone are the hot headiness and emotional character in its place, the patient and zeny mother. The sloppiness and persuasion stayed, although with a different twist.
Having enjoyed getting away with things all her life, she lacked the ability to outright ask for help, in order to avoid being in the debt of another. She is also the type of person who can never bring herself to initiate a call to a friend due to pride. I am fine with all these, except over time, I find that it twisted my good intentions into one that is a result of her manipulation. When I started questioning myself whether I was manipulated into doing things for her or if the good intention came from within, I know the poison had spread.
Which is a good practice for me in detecting and countering these subtle sparring of words. It was fun and games for the past two years, but I can’t bring myself to trust her.
She gave me her ex’s bike, hoping to forget the past relationship. I was grateful of that. I confirmed with her again if the bike is totally mine before I added a total of $150 modification to it (Two really expensive break to accommodate for my habits of going against a one way traffic and running red lights). When both of her other bikes got stolen, I lend her mine to use. I haven’t seen it since and just wrote it off the top of my head. It was hers to begin with. Until I got curious before I moved out and asked her.
“I sold it”
“YOU WHAT?!”
“I sold it”
“Didn’t I told you that I spent a considerable amount of money modding it?”
“Well~ I didn’t know~”
No apologies because she’s too proud. So sloppy because she most likely got it stolen again. Outright lying when she said she didn’t know because I had mentioned it to her twice to make sure of it before I modded (It’s a precaution against the loss of my investment. I am too money savvy to not do it).
It’s not the money that bothered me, but the situation.
