The Return of Hump and Dump and Missing the Wedding

Hey Ragers and Ragettes!  It's one of those Sundays.  I'm wearing a red velour tracksuit, my cozy booties, hair pulled back rocking fierce blue talons.  Yes, Betty Blue.

The past 48 hours were crazy.  And I mean crazy!!

I was supposed to go to a friend's house on Friday night but she didn't text me to confirm that it was still on. The guys that do our marketing at work are going through some turmoil.  There are 3 of them and one of them isn't really doing what they should be doing.  This guy screwed us over in regards to our company website.  So the loud one decided to all go for a drink to see how to proceed.

So I put on my black jumpsuit, a red skinny belt, red Iron Fist Peeptoe Shoes with black sequin skulls, red earrings and a red cocktail ring.  Oh and the red lippy!!!

So we went out to the pub and sat in the same seat where Simon and I had our first date 27 weeks ago.  Simon and I sat together, clicked glasses and kissed.  It was a lovely moment.  A moment I wanted to keep forever.

Then the 2 marketing lads came in.  We sat and discussed business.  They decided to kick the weak link out and just the 2 of them set up together.  We drank to that.

A message then popped up on my phone. It was Nick, aka Hump n Dump. "How r u hun? R u not out tonight x"

I told him that I was.  He said he was bored.

Then he messaged this:  Miss u hun I so regret being the cunt I was.  I almost fell off my chair!!!  He then went on to admit that he always fancied me.  That he still thinks of me.

As you can remember, Hump n Dump was called that for a reason.  It all started with one night.  When I was working for the corporate machine, I worked with him.  We'd always have banter and a laugh.  He had a lovely smile.  He'd make me smile.

We planned to go on a night out, a big group of us.  That was the night we first kissed.  I brought him back to mine.

We went to my bed and just kissed.  We held each other and spent the night listening to music and just kissing.  It was lovely. He was a great kisser.  I felt happy. Like really happy.

It wasn't awkward in work either.  We just went on as normal.

Then he came back to mine one night after work.  We ate pizza watched a film.  Then he got a call from his friend and he needed to go.

Before he left, we did it.  It was quick sloppy and not romantic.  He kissed me and said ""we'll do this properly another day"

Well, that day never came.  He humped me and dumped me.  I was heart broken, I mean really heart broken.  At work he avoided me.

He tried to make it up to me by sending me pathetic emails.  Now he has come back saying he was mistaken.

My Friday night went from being ok to me being upset.  Why?  Because I didn't get closure.  I moved on.  I moved out of Manchester.  I left that behind me.

Hump and Dump made me angry.  And I mean good and proper angry.  I got a bit drunk and when we got home, Simon looked at me and said, Betty you are gorgeous.  I smiled and kissed him.

I went to sleep feeling restless.

The next day I felt sick.  Like really sick.  And also it was Andrea's wedding.  And I wasn't going.  I got up and made my nail appointment I scheduled.  Decided on long blue talons.  I tried a new beauty therapist.  She was ok and she decided to bring her hyper active 5 year old boy to work with her.  As I was a bit hungover, I was in no state to deal with a hyperactive 5 year old.  As soon as she finished I went to Starbucks, got Simon a coffee and made my way back.

I got in and woke Simon by putting one of the guinea pigs on his face.  He smiled at me and kissed me.  He drank his coffee and I read the paper.

I couldn't stop thinking about Hump and Dump and the Wedding.  I felt a tidal wave of rage.

I then burst into tears.  They were tears of anger, rage, upset.

How dare Hump n Dump fuck up the balance of my life!! And how dare Dan ruin my chance to see my friend's wedding!!!!  I cried.  And cried.  Then Simon came over and held me tightly. I just cried.  Couldn't stop.  I wanted to scream, find Dan and punch hi!  How dare he??  How fucking dare he go to my friend's wedding?  The manipulative socio-path!!!!!

Simon put his fingers through my crazy hair.  Hen kissed the top of my head.

I then thought. Would Hump n Dump have done that?  Would he have held me like this?  Let me cry it out?

When I finished crying, Simon dried my eyes.  We went food shopping and I did my best not to throw up.

I took a nap when we got home and when I woke up I felt better.  I knew that Hump n Dump wouldn't hold me when I cried.  He wouldn't try to take the pain away.  He'd cause more pain and more heartbreak.

So last night Simon and I made love and I went to sleep with a smile.

My life isn't perfect, not even close.  I have a small amount of demons to exorcise still.  It's been hard the last few months.  Adjusting to a new life. Trying to find my place in this life.  But the advantage I have is that I am not doing this alone.  I have a great man beside me at all times.  I have a few select friends that I keep close to me.  They are good people and I am blessed to have them.

So Ragers and Ragettes, I hope that made sense.  The last few days have been crazy but I am getting through.

So until next time, Ragers and Ragettes, keep your standards and heads heigh and your heels higher!

Lots of love
