Texting Problems

Jack has been away for 2 weeks! I’ve been glued to my phone waiting for messages and photos. At first, he sent selfies, with backdrops of vineyards and lovely old castles. He had nice things to say and told me he missed me. Then his communication tapered off to every couple of days, then finally I get this short and stiff text, three days ago… “Been busy. Heading to Portugal to develop contacts for making Port. Actually, it would be called fortified wine in California. LOL.”

That was three days ago. Hello. Nothing since then. No personal words, not even a photo?

He told me he would be away ten days, now it’s been fourteen days… yes, I’m counting. The way I feel about men is if they aren’t interested I’ll let them go and I’ll move on. The soul-mate thing with the vortex was great, but it doesn’t seem to be happening. He over-rode it with his willpower.

I understand that he’s engulfed in a European adventure. He’s building his business and learning how to make the best Port. Excuse me, it's fortified wine. What do I know, there may even be a lovely lady on the trip who is distracting him. Is he even thinking of me? I made sure I replied to this texts with interesting remarks and questions. He must think I’m just being friendly because he isn’t answering my questions. I sent updates letting him know that all is quiet here. I’m not writing mushy poetry, just happy and offhand things. I know not to chase a man, they panic and run.

Here in my little corner of the wine region I’ve been leading rides. I’ve been killing time, waiting for my man to return. I’m getting pissed me off. I haven’t been living. I’ve been waiting. Just waiting. Now he goes to Portugal. So, I’m not that important. Or he’s running from his feelings, or, or what?

Time for me to get back to living.

Before I crucify him, I’ll call his office. He said to call if I need anything. I’ll speak with his assistant and see what I can find out, without appearing needy.

It’s an informative conversation. She tells me Jack asked her to help me in any way she can. That sounds great, but then what happened? He made plans to go to Portugal at the end of the first week, but he didn’t tell me until the end of the second week. She says she doesn’t know how long he’ll be gone, or where he is going. He will be touring wineries and vineyards. She sometimes books his travel, or he goes with friends on their private jet. He calls her daily to get his business problems resolved.

“He’s such a busy man and he’s such a wonderful boss, I can’t say enough about him. Do you know, last Christmas he gave all of his employees a bonus and a raise because the winery was doing so well…” she continues gushing on in a sweet voice, telling me his attributes, while I listen, feeling irked.
