Ken Treats Me Better, Movie Screening

[thepnutgallery]

Thursday – Ken said “bye” when he left, but didn't touch me, though he did return my “I love you.” I sent him an e-mail, just reassuring or whatever, like he usually does, and as expected, he responded by trying to hammer his point home. How very Aimee of him. I started to draft a response, but jerked off and slept instead. When I got up, he had sent another e-mail, this time apologizing for his morning e-mail being harsh, and reassuring or whathaveyou. I responded to both it and the e-mail before it, and we went back and forth. I talked to Leo, who confirmed that any time Ken has ever been caught doing anything, he gets livid with the person talking to him. He also mentioned that Ken treats me better than any of his other boyfriends, and when I mentioned that Ken had never cheated on them, he said Ken had ALWAYS been shady. I eventually left for school, and Ken wrote me a book back, talking about how I was trying to back him into a corner, to make him look like a liar, he didn't break any rules, etc. I responded that I'm not trying to back him into a corner, and can't make him a liar, but I'm not going to ignore blatantly contradictory statements, and the only reason he didn't break any rules is that, honestly, who the fuck thinks they need to make a rule like “don't set traps for me.” He said we have a difference of memory as to what was said, because he has no problem reconciling the two, and also that he was very very very done arguing about it. I almost let it drop there, on account of the latter, but if he's done arguing, he can drop it. Instead, I replied by asking him what he remembered, but had to leave for swimming, and he'd gotten out for the day. I was going to stay for Contract's tutoring, but swimming and getting home to talk to Ken seemed much more pressing. Picked up Wyatt, and we headed up to the pool. We were both feeling a little tired, though he was nice enough to give me a 5hr. energy. I got 150 yards in when I noticed that Wyatt was talking to someone at the office – I guess he'd been stung by a bee. Sucks. He iced it for a little while, but eventually started swimming with me. I lost track of the amount I swam, but I easily swam more than last time....somewhere in the vincinity of 1.5k-2k. Go me! Dropped him off, and decided now was an appropriate time to give Ken the Hello Kitty band-aids I picked up a few weeks ago. Put them in a green bag I had in my car, rolled up a note and threaded it through the bow. Ken was sleeping when I got there, so I put it next to him, though Cisco jumped all over him. I hopped in the shower, and Ken was up by the time I got out. He thanked me for the band-aids and the note, and I got dressed. It was almost 6:30, he just got dressed and picked up a sammich on the way to poker. Leo told him to text if he was going to stay for 10, and I asked him to call me either way. I thought about eating something, but figured there'd be stuff at the movie screening, and I'm trying to keep my calories within reason. I had a cocktail at home, which hit me harder than I'd thought. I didn't take into account having an empty tummy. Left around 7:30, and got there 15 min. early, but still after Durwood. Aimee and Anthony showed up not long after, with non-vegan cupcakes and vegan jam bars. I had a total of 2 jam bars – I tried to balance keeping my calories down with demonstrating appreciation for there being vegan eats. I did have a lot of pretzels with guac, and a couple chips. The movie was okay – I wasn't as funny as Aimee tells me everyone says I am, but as long as everyone else thinks so, what do I care? Got home a little after 9, though I hadn't heard from Ken, and Leo told me Ken had texted him about 20 min. ago, and he was just getting ready to leave. I guess a bird had also gotten trapped in the house and frightened Cisco. Ken came home, which surprised Leo, and I briefly mentioned that I was upset, and he told me not to be. Oh. Bearing in mind we were in the process of frying much bigger fish, I let it go. We had a drink at home, and walked over for the 10pm game. I immediately regretted my decision, especially since Wyatt had requested that I call him when I got back so we could hang out and drink. I requested a couple songs at poker, and felt a little better when they played. I guess “Love On My Mind” had played at Rich's last night. I got a little upset when some stranger said we'd dropped a dollar, and Ken encouraged him to shove it down the front of his pants, but it was in jest, so whatever. I talked to Brian a little, and got his number, fwiw. He had a new little twink he seemed to be entertaining. I think Ken saw how miserable Leo and I were, sitting there, because he bought us a shot of Tuaca. I was just waiting for my next song to come on before leaving, but Ken went out suddenly. He wanted to go to In n' Out. I didn't, but I went along anyway. I suggested Ken take Cisco out one last time when we got home, but he said he'd be fine. I was pretty pleased with myself that I didn't eat any more, though I did have one more drink. Laid down, went to sleep.
