She left me a note and sailed away
I have never seen her since
A heartbreaking story, well, for me at least.
I was young, immature, full of confidence, and though I was indestructible, then I met a girl who clipped my wings and made me human again.
I met her back in 2001. I was her trainer; she walked into my classroom for the first time, looked at me and smiled; I said hello and turned around, opened my mouth and whispered to myself, “wow,”.
During that first day, I did my best to keep my eyes off her, to the extent where I almost ignored this blonde bombshell, and she had noticed, leaving the room last to go on break, she asked if she should wear something more appropriate tomorrow.
I smiled and said, “yes, that would be nice” do not ask me why; it just came out, the fact she had trousers, a blouse and a cardigan on, was fine for training, but I did feel a bit weak around her and tried not to show it.
The following day my mouth hit the floor; she walked in with a very short skirt, long black boots and a top that did not cover much; I had to leave the room from embarrassment; there was no way I could survive eight hours in a room with this girl.
I will confess I faked an illness; either that or I could lose my job for unintentional sexual harassment. The lust was running through my head…..little head, if you catch my drift.
I had no idea what her classmates thought of the whole situation, so I decided to speak to her before class the following day; I went to the break room, and spotted her, she looked up, and our eyes met.
She strutted over and said, “I know, you blew your load; here is my number, text me, and I will behave” FECK, what should I do now? Nothing, Robert, stay focused, I thought to myself.
Towards the end of the day, a fellow trainer came to see me; he wanted a quiet word, “Hey Robert, what's going on with that girl?” I played dumb and asked what he was on about.
“Well, she asked Amanda (fellow trainer) for your number and she gave it to her”, crap I had to tell him what happened, now four people were involved I had to quash this quickly.
He just laughed, “you have done nothing wrong; go on a date with her; you are not her boss. You are her trainer, you are single, and she will only be in training a few weeks”
That night I took the plunge and text her, it got flirty and very quick, and I agreed to meet up with her providing, it was kept professional in-class time. I should point out that I was 21 and she was 19 years old.
We met up a few days later and had a meal with a few drinks to follow, I was a true gentleman and got her home safe, but this lady had other ideas; when she invited me in for coffee, I knew what was coming.
I had my chance to say no, but I was weak and almost run through the door to get inside the house, let's just say we did not get a chance to have a coffee, but breakfast the next morning was nice!!!
Now the following day in class was, well, a bit awkward, fun, thrilling and unprofessional as I went around helping people, her hand grabbed mine and put it in places a teacher should not touch, even though I had seen it all the night before.
I was still worried about people seeing what was going on and amazed that not once was there a hint of being caught, my pulse was still racing, all the same, it appeared the connection was between the two of us and everyone else was oblivious of the situation.
I remember being in love with this girl, she was tall with blonde and naturally curly hair, which fell just below her shoulder blades. She was happy, always smiled and was very sociable.
When the training had finished and we had become an item, she asked if I would meet her mother, she told me that never before had she felt this way about someone and that her mother would help her confirm that I was “the one”.
I was buzzing and thought to myself, this would be great; if I can wow this stunner, her mother would be a breeze. I have the looks, the charm, a great job, my own house. I am young, this is going to be easy.
I was on cloud nine; her mother was indeed good looking a real MILF, with a great smile and had a real class about her. To some degree, I felt a bit uneasy, it appeared that she was from a wealthy family, and I certainly was not.
During dinner, her mother spoke out loud, saying to her daughter, “this guy is good looking, but put that to one side, he is not for you, long term this would not work out”.
WTF?
Say, what did I just hear? did she actually say that? right in front of me? my then-girlfriend pulled me aside, gave me her house key and said, “Robert, go back, say you are not well and excuse yourself; I will be home in an hour; let me sort things out”
I did what was asked of me, and feeling gutted I left, my girlfriend came home in the early hours, and I was fast asleep and remember her getting in bed beside me saying we would talk in the morning.
I woke up late for work and had to rush off, my girlfriend did not come to work and I never saw her for three days, she ignored my calls and texts.
She then invited me over, I was frustrated and wanted to know what had gone on, she told me that things had all been sorted out and that we were going to stay with her mother that weekend, for now, let's have a great night and lots of sex.
I felt better, and my girlfriend got me into the mood; we grabbed a takeaway, got some drinks in and had a good mess around; we both went to bed very happy.
The next morning I woke up, went to put my arms around my girl and found she was not in bed with me, it was then I noticed a letter on her pillow.
“Robert, I am so sorry for the deceit; my mother will not accept you, and I can no longer be with you. She has sent me away for three months on a cruise, I will not contact you when I am back”
My heart sunk; I was stunned by what I was reading.
“Robert, my love for you is real, but I have too much to lose and cannot have you without my mother's blessing; I am selfish; I wanted to have one last night with you; please forgive me, I will never forget you”
I got dressed and went downstairs; my girlfriend's best friend was waiting for me, “did you know about this” I asked? “yes, but only about 15 minutes before you were due to arrive”.
I burst into tears, her friend comforted me, and I accepted it; my world had come crashing down, I never expected to meet a girl like this, and it was over in a matter of months.
I never saw this girl again, but through friends know that she met a man on this cruise, got married, they now have three children and live around an hour's drive away from me.
I have no idea if she ever thought about me again, if she had told me the truth or if I did actually mean anything to her. I have no intention of ever finding out, as some things are best left alone…………..
