How...Awkward..

so i have this friend. i'll call him shortie lol. shortie is my nigga..not my friend my nigga. My niggaz aren't really full blown friends, they are just guys that are a placeholder..a back up for lack of better words..and thats what he is nothing more nothing less. i met shortie in jan. he had a girl and i had a man so we weren't doing anything but being friendly. he threw in a few innuendos from time to time but i was committed and they just rolled off my back. well my man went all twister on me and i was single again. I was heartbroken..but i wasn't dead if ya know what i mean. he just found out that his girlfriend was cheatin on him so he wasn't really feelin her. he had needs and i had needs...simple or so i thought. he never left his girlfriend and that didnt bother me because i wasn't lookin for a relationship. i was still in love with my ex. so we went on like this from may to july. i'd call him when i needed him..i didnt call to talk..thats what my other friends were for.that wasn't his purpose. but i noticed that he was taking more of a liking to me. He started calling more just to talk and weird shit like that. so anyway he still had his girlfriend but i had no respect for her. in fact i came to see him while she was visiting him and stayed when she left. Of course she hated me..i had her man hooked and i wasn't even trying to pull him hell i didn't even want him as a boyfriend i still don't. well in august they hit a rough patch and i came over to..comfort him lol..well thats when shit turn mr. hyde-ish. he was more affectionate and eager even talkin about the possibility of me and him..I played it off and pray his girlfriend takes him back lol..she does of course(poor girl). so october rolls around and we reconnect. But there was a scare (so to speak) and he throwing out words like "family" and "us"..oh hell no! so i distance myself for about a month he'd call i wouldnt answer or pretend i was busy. so by november he finally catches my again (damn) he's single and he wants to see me. I dont want to (because last time damn near caused me an anxiety attack) and i had a new prospect that drew away my attention..someone new. it is now december and shortie calls me up..not to see me but to talk..about his feelings. he realizes that he spent his time on the wrong woman..that it is I who should be his main squeeze..in short..the boy is in love with me lol (i dont know how ppl get to this point with me ..really im not doing anything special here). he wants a relationship with me and he wants to know my feelings..i of course ignore his calls..thats just to heavy for my taste..im not trying to break anymore hearts this year..especially since he doesnt have the slightest chance of a relationship with me..once a cheater always a cheater.
