Boyfriend

Being your typical naïve teenager I assumed that Amber and I were forever so it took me by surprise when one night she told me that she wanted to date other guys.

“You will still be my main man Bobby; I just want to occasionally see someone else.”

I looked at her as all kinds of thoughts ran through my head. Finally I got it together.

“I don’t own you Amber so I can’t tell you what you can and can’t do. You want to date others? Go ahead. Lord knows I won’t be in the way. Goodbye Amber.”

I got up and walked away from her. Her father came in to where I worked the next day and started to give me a ration of shit over leaving ‘his poor baby’ stranded.

“I had to get out of bed and go pick her up.”

“Maybe next time she will be smart enough to breakup with her boyfriend when he takes her home at the end of the date instead of in the middle of it.”

That shut him up and he left the store.

Hurt? It damned near killed me. The love of my life turning her back on me! She called me several times ov
