Up in the Air

 Uranus was only half a day away from moving all 

his stuff into Gemini, 

but the chaos was already streaming down

like a waterfall. 

As he was saying good-bye to the anorectic 29th degree,

for her,

 he was unhooking Persephone,

Goddess of the Underworld,

 out of her Pisces 12th house 

From now on, she was going to have to start 

making her own decisions. 

No more would she be allowed to half-a$$ anything

and blame the stars. 

Now when something would happen, it was 

all her fault!

HER DOING!

So she began by making her first real choice,

right here, right now. 

She decided to cut off all ties with her beer daddy. 

Not Sugar daddy, beer daddy. 

She had been using 'Mr. I wanna marry you Now', 

to get free drinks since the end of May when she first 

met him at Food Lion. 

It was now 2 months later and still she had been 

stringing him along for free beers, until July 4th!

Celebration of Independence hit her hard 

when she realized this guy wanted more then 

what she was willing to give. 

He tried to pull her into the restroom and attack her 

for what he thought was due him. 

She managed to escape his grips, 

and ran out to the party which they had been 

invited to. 

Once out there, she played it off as him just 

trying to have fun, but deep inside her, she knew exactly

what he was after. 

After the party was over, she tried to slip away,

while he was helping them clean up. 

Unfortunately, he must have seen her go, because 

not even 5 steps away from the house, 

he ran after her and caught her. 

They walked together to the nearby bar, 

where he began buying more beers. 

She began requesting songs, and dancing with him

every now and again to derail him. 

Coy as she was, she knew how to play dumb. 

He ate it all up with a spoon, 

and once he went to the bathroom, she pulled 

the plug again. 

She grabbed her back pack, and ran out the bar door

like a bat out of hell.. 

Deja vu hit her.. 

But this wasn't deja vu... 

she knew it... 

This was a repeat pattern; 

just like that of a crochet project.

She stopped at the community center and passed out. 

When she awoke at 3am, 

she walked her drunk a$$ home and swore to herself

that she would stop this nonsense. 

The next day, 

he text her like clockwork and she told him

it was over. 

But then she realized there was nothing even 

created. 

They never agreed to be boyfriend girlfriend. 

This whole mess was all a creation 

of not making a choice. 

This was her Persephone and Hades relations. 

Being too afraid to make a choice, 

was the choice. 

And it wasn't a good one. 

So she told him no more. 

Then Blocked him for good. 

But she knew, 

she would have to not only block him from the phone,

but she would also have to say "No!" directly 

to his face when he would show up 

in her neighborhood. 

No more indecisiveness. 

She swore that to herself. 

Then this morning, when she hopped on the bus, 

she saw him again... 

The boy she handed her extra water to 

a few days ago. 

He worked at the mall. 

They kept running into each other on the bus. 

He liked music just as she did. 

He even bobbed his head to the music like she did. 

She caught him sneaking peeks at her

while they would ride the bus to the mall. 

And each time they got there, he would wait 

for her to get off the bus first. 

Unlike some of the other men who dashed ahead

of her practically pushing her aside, 

this guy kindly waited and smiled at her as she said 

"Thank you."

She wondered... 

Would he make a move one day? 

If he did, 

being the romantic that she was, 

she hoped he would hand her a note...

Introducing himself and asking her to lunch

or dinner. 

And that choice, 

would be one she was happy to actually make.

To be continue...
