The Perfect Distraction
“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose...”
-UNKNOWN
This has happened to everyone with a pulse;
YOU are the dedicated significant other…OR
YOU are the ultimate advisor of your independence…OR
YOU are the educated individual focused on your career goals…
Any combination of the three could be a likely scenario, but in life…the only constants we face as human beings are death and change. Specific moments define who we are as individuals, but it’s our emotions that define the decisions of our character. The Perfect Distraction is someone of the opposite sex (most of the time) that GOD sends in your direction to test every emotional, and physical characteristic in the shortest period of time. This individual derails every fiber of your focus, and then makes you question the substance of any ethical dilemmas that hold a fragile heart captive.
• The First Contact
Any public setting, you are with friends, co-workers, or maybe by yourself. The continual glances made by him/her allow you to appreciate that fact you are physically appreciated. The approach is sooooo… suddle, catches you off guard; but their smile almost allows you to forget the fact moments ago they startled you. Small talk is genuine as you share personal goals, birthplace origins, zodiac signs or birthdays. Either party is too timid to make that large leap to un-pocket a cell phone for future discussion. The conversation abruptly begins to end, no talk of any future plans….sweaty palms are the result of your heart pumping blood faster, the reality of never seeing this beautiful creature in front of you again. Your brain fluxes with the pace of your heart, uncontrollable thoughts of infidelity, I am focusing on my career, I am just looking for fun….you give in. “Would you like to exchange numbers?”
• The Attraction
You sit close, the smell of their perfume or cologne is so exotic it becomes a turn on. With every laugh your bodies touch, the constant motion of hand and eye contact increases sexual tension. To better judgment you attempt to pull away, but future attempts are almost effortless. You share kisses so passionate you almost lose control of your senses…regaining them at the point you need glasses of water. Compliments reign supreme, as you express how much you admire each other through the breaths you take when your lips aren’t touching. “Where have you been all my life?” You hold each other like an elderly couple in their last days…cell phones are unanswered; bathroom breaks are avoided (don’t lie), as you both look at 1:21am on the microwave clock, realizing you must travel back to the real world with approximately five to six hours of sleep. The goodbye is painful, you both consider the idea of sex but you need something to look forward to in future encounters. You watch them leave…as you watch every game plan you had about life BEFORE you met them…go with it.
• The Game
You wait impatiently for your phone to play the ringtone you assigned to them this morning…while at work. Even the vibration of a text message would engage your cheeks into an uncontrolled smile. You move your phone several times, hoping the signal reception would be greater in one spot than another, blaming your cell phone carrier for roaming fees. Half the day goes by and you begin to lose hope of communication, until the designated ringtone plays. The faster you exit the building, or move to a quieter area…the faster you put the phone to your ear. The deep breaths before you answer signify you don’t want them to get the impression you were in a rush. As you answer the first question from the receiving end follows… “Can I see you tonight?” Ignoring all facts of studying for tests, preparing documents for work, or spending time with individuals you are actually dating…you respond with a grin. “Maybe…that might be able to be arranged.”
• The Distraction
It’s been almost a month. You have slept with the perfect stranger you met numerous times…your grades are declining, your production at work is slowing, OR your other relationship is dwindling. It is late…today the phone call of your lover never came, you trace the existence of the short time you’ve known each other and attempt to remember their last name. You give in and call; no answer…but now the questions you created in your mind are endless. As days pass…you attempt to regain the composure of an scorned soul…the excuses you receive for lack of communication are beginning to grow...each one tearing away at the ethical standards you threw away to pursue fantasies. Moving on at first is difficult, repairing the deep holes in your life that were dug FEEL almost impossible. Him/her were removed from your life just as fast as they came…created incredible moments of pleasure…but allowed you to side step and almost eliminate every aspect that made you…YOU.
To be honest the chances you run into this individual again might be small, but it’s almost a solid fact if the day comes were you do cross again…they will be in the arms of another. Re-kindling the memories you shared for a moment won’t hurt…but letting them GO won’t hurt either. Regaining the focus you took years to build can crumble in less than a month…that’s what makes this individual The Perfect Distraction-
