Friday night was supposed to be Videoke Night for the group. However, Paris begged off since he needed to talk with Steve. It seems they're getting another rough patch in their relationship since Paris tried breaking it off with KC last night. So it was just me and Luke at the Coffee shop while we waited for the arrival of Daniel who was caught in the Friday traffic.
We passed the time talking about Luke's passion on RC Helicopters. As a child I was likewise into RCs, not as much as my other cousins but I do have my own ground based jeeps which I would race across the lawns. Given this background it was easy for me to understand what Luke was talking about. We also touched on the topic of on-line dating which Luke seems to be so into lately. It was obvious he didn't want to talk about my current situation with Daniel and would just comment that I should just move on and date. Easy for him to say.
Anyway, Daniel arrived after an hour. He was in his old hyper self - obviously from the zolof medicine he was taking. He's still in his clinically depressed mode so he takes his daily dosage of the drug to balance himself up. It was evident that Luke and Daniel were talking during the past couple of days coz Luke was just asking for updates rather than the whole story. From what I can gather, Daniel has been hanging around the chatrooms and tried meeting up with a guy. Well, that turned out to be a disaster coz Daniel was simply looking for conversation while the other party was looking for something more. Turns out Daniel had to run out of the condo apartment as the other guy started to become frisky. Am not really sure if I should feel pity for the guy or smack him once at the back of his head for being stupid.
It was becoming awkward for me since Luke and Daniel were talking while I was talking with Luke. Topics intended from me to Daniel where relayed via Like and vice versa. Good thing Paris and Steve arrived. It was by then that we decided to move to Friday's for dinner. Conversation became more smooth as there were more people in the group. Still, one could send the strained exchanges between me and Daniel. Am not really sure what it was but it seems I was reluctant to hear anything from the guy in fear for being drawn back into his world. Actually I was dreading the idea of the ride home with him.
My salvation arrived in the form of a phone call from Daniel's best friend Jason. It seems Jason arrived early from his Miami trip and was in the Metro to have some fun. Interesting enough they were likewise heading for Friday's. That solved my dilemma about the ride home but it did bother me when Daniel had to voice out "I'm sorry Migs, but I can't drive you home as I have to stay with Jason. Hope you understand." Heck, I can get home by
myself. Why does he need to make himself seem nice to me when he really doesn't know what's going on inside me.
Sigh. I just hate being a drama queen.
