She Loves Me Not


My story begins in Trinidad, a small insland off the coast of Venezula. I have lived there for 19 years without much to complain about. I recently fell in love with a beautiful girl whose name I shall keep to myself. I met her through facebook and at the time I was an intern for a company named SITA, which is involved in maintance and upkeep of the telecommications network for the airport. Orginally she started off as simply a client in which I could gain experience from as a computer technician but at the back of my mind I had hoped that she would become a bit more familiar than just "a client."Because of my attraction to her I found myself more focused on helping her than doing my job. My objective was to fix her computer but soon found out that my goal was more than obtainable. I ended up scowering the airport for unused but functional parts and putting together a computer, FOR FREE, for her to use. Though my actions cost me a good review on my intership(seeing as I started reaching late beacuse I was looking for parts for her computer, using the company phone for personal calls to inform her of the progress I was making with the computer and finally stealing airport property to make the computer) it was worth it to me because I fell in love with her. I found myself sacrificing alot of my time and excerting alot of energy trying to show her the love she deserved. I will admit, I'm not perfect. I've made mistakes and said hurtful things but I always thought, at the time, that my actions were noble and it was never my intention to make her feel any less than perfect. Now it would be wise to note that for a young girl she has experienced alot of heartache and injustices and she has admitted to me that she hasn't made the wisest choices where dealing with her issues are concerned and I can appreciate that. And i don't expect her to change overnight. I know change is a very difficult process and that somtimes we fall short so I try to be as understanding as possible, even though I'm not the brightest bulb in the bunch, I still make a concerted effort to be there for her. I remember getting up at 6 a.m., after going to bed at 2 a.m. talking to her on the phone, to bathe, change, and travel a great distance(from diego martain to cunpia for those who know how far that is) to meet her to go to her church. I remember changing my lifestyle to facilitate her insecurities, I stopped going to parties and talking to many people to foucs on her. Now even though I sound as if I'm complaining, at the time it seemed all worth it. Now the reason I explained all of that was to get some feedback on a situation that took place about 3 weeks ago. We had decided to be friends because she was "fed-up" of me for some reason I can't recall right now. The night before the Kentucky Derby we were talking to each other and everything seemed to be going swimmingly. We were connecting on a personal level and expressing how we felt about each other. She then asked me to call her. Now I haven't mentioned the fact that I had to pay over $500 to my mother to cover phone bill cost but I digress. I called her and she began telling me about her day and how some boy made a pathetic attempt to try and win her affection. She then asked me why I wasn't talking to vanessa (my female best friend) and I replied that we had not spoken in a long time, which in retrospec gave her the impression that I wasn't talking to vanessa at the moment. So she said that she was going to ask her why we had not spoken in such a long time. So I told her that she doesn't have to, I am speaking to her now. Her reaction to my comment took me by surprise. She was very offended that I did tell her that we were talking in the first place. So she hung up on me. The next day she decided to change my account settings for my email and facebook. After she decided to change my account information back she thought it would be a good idea to post a break up note on my facebook wall for the whole world to see and when I replied to the letter she was even more offended and told me I was trying to "Fuck her up."Now it's been 3 weeks since we haven't spoken and I was just wondering. After reading this story, do you think her actions are justified? I can admit that I should have been up front with her but I don't think that locking me off completely was the fairest thing to do. Please leave your thoughts or questions and I will try to respond to you as soon as possible.
