Okay, so I am on a roll, forgive me.
Come October, two months have passed. I have in the interim consulted a lawyer. I have access to an account where we have put money in. He reads it that I should Invoice her for services rendered according to our agreement, and draw what I need. I do this. He advises a restraining order if she enters the enters the country.
I wake up one morning to find her callling out from the street below where I live. I have no choice but to let her in. We talk, try to get to grips with what has happened, try and figure away forward. She has flown here to try and make the business work at the very least. We are both still passionate about it. Not the money, the passion to do what we are meant to do.
It is Tuesday, she has a flight out on Saturday. My kids are with me for Friday. My oldest has a prize giving function I have to attend. I am stressing about that.
We see prospective clients. It goes well. I think we make a good business team, we compliment each other. We have some good prospects. I had already invited my mom for Thursday night. So she comes around, and I stock with some brandy - my Mom and I like a brandy or two. She buys wine for herself. She assures em that the only time she gets out of control is when she is not with me. We have a good time, and my mom goes home. She loses it about a half hour after that, telling me I am a cunt, and am using her, and I fucked her life up, and I am just like her ex-husband. Unbelievably, the only way I can get her to bed and to sleep is to have give in to her constant begging for my cock.
I feel dirty. Try sleep on the couch. I get up early, run some errands, keep calling her to see if she is awake, she doesn't answer. i collect the girls after school and go home. She is up and showered, and quiet.
I take her for a walk, and tell her that she can stay the night so she can catch the plane the next day, but that she had fucked it all up once again. Once she gets on the plane, I want the never to speak to me again. She agrees, and promises no more alcohol until she goes. I have to go to the prize giving, and my youngest opts to stay with the girl. I get assurance that everything will be okay. the prize giving is over, and I am nervous. i get home, she seems fine, and I send the girls to bed.
I open the fridge, and notice that the three beers that I had left were now gone. So is the rest of a quarter bottle of Vodka that had been there for weeks. the bottle is still there, but it is empty.
I confront her, freaking out because she promised not to drink, and she couldn't stay one night while my daughter was in her care. She goes totally over the edge, and lies on the floor, telling me she would rather kill herself than not be with me.
I give her a choice: go to bed, or pack her stuff and leave. Angrily, she packs her stuff. I get her into her car, give her directions to the nearest hotel, and she is off, but not beofre she is screaming and shouting abuse. I live in a quiet neighbourhood. It echo's.
Two hours later, she is back, hooting outside my place. I have no choice but to go out to her. Lights are starting to come on. I sit in the car with her. There are empty beer cans on the floor. She is incoherent, abusive crap spewing from her vocal chords. I sit with her, hoping she will pass out. But she has had much much more, and perhaps other stuff too. Eventually, at around 5am, she says she needs to pee, and I escort her to the bathroom, where she passes out. I clean up and carry her to the bed.
As soon as the sun is up, I wake the girls, and take them to my mother, explaining more or less what happened. I know she has to be at the airport at 2pm, so I decide to call her at one to make she is awake, and to go home to help her get there if needs be.
I call my best mates, and start drinking. We talk shite, and I am doing the best I can not to vent the anger inside. the alcohol keeps me sane, even lifts the spirits a bit. My mates agree that if i get too drunk, they will escort her to the aiport. but I don't, and at midday, she calls me.
Does this mean it's over? she asks me....
I can't believe she is even asking such a stupid question! Damn right! I say. She says she is about to leave. My mates drive me home, and do a recce to make sure she has gone, and that no vandalism had occured. All was good.
I get mails of accusations after that. I had stolen money from her, and she was going to call the police. And then conspiracy theories about me stealing her clients.....
So this all ended in October. She was out here in December, and called me to ask if she could see me just for an hour. I said no.
Two weeks ago, I get a mail from her, saying something along the lines of she can't breathe without me. I ignored it of course.
I know it is not over. She will be here in July again. And who knows what might happen then? I do know that it is over.
