had a weird experience, or is it so weird?
was leaving a bar/restaurant 1/2 block from Kilroy's. outside the front door, there was a young woman twirling around. She said to me, "do this!" and twirled around. well, it was the first warm sunny day (6 p.m.) so I thought, what the heck and twirled. She said, "doesn't that feel great!?" and I realized she was intoxicated. She was petite, tiny, with long dark hair and big brown eyes. She was really clingy, told me her name and asked mine. she volunteered that she was in a fight w. her bf.
He had gone off with his friends w/o inviting her and she said she was breaking up with him. I asked her what she would do if he came back and was sorry and wanted to make it up to her. she said, "I was afraid you would ask that question." and I started thinking, wow, she reminds me of Lauren somehow. Then, she said she wanted my phone number!
"we can go have a drink sometime and talk,and then she went on to say, she just got into town a couple of months ago." Then, she insisted I put her number in my phone. I told her that hey, it's fun to be out
but not to be alone after 9 in any of these bars. She pulled out her phone, and told me the battery had run out and the charger was in
her car out in front of her apt. But that was good, she said, because then she wouldn't be able to take any of her bf calls.
I told her that she needed to get her phone charged immediately
in case she needed hekp and that I knew some people inside. As we went back in, I asked these guys by the door if they had a charger she could use. This guy said, "don't charge her phone back up!" and I asked why and he said,
and I quote, "we're working on this, don't worry about it, if you charge her phone, she'll call her bf. Her charger is in her car at home" I took her in the back and asked a cook for his charger and he started charging her phone. She was being super affectionate to me, saying "thank you, thank you thank you! and give me a hug, you're so nice, I love you!" and then said to the cook, "those guys were trying to do something and she helped me charge my phone!" I told her to stay right there until it charged and then to call her bf to come and get her. As I was walking away, she yells, "byeeeeee, I LOVE YOU!" lol.
then, as I was leaving I said to the guy by the door, "hey sorry but she really needs her phone charged" and he looked at me with these really steely
eyes and said, "I don't know if you can possibly understand how much I don't give a F&%@ about anything you have to say, it's really like a joke if you think I care." I just said "ha, ha yeah really funny" and walked out.
this is disturbing in many ways. The guy was right by the door--easy out with someone. He was preying on someone with boyfriend problems and was probably getting her drunk and all worked up about it, pretending to take her side. She was a sweet, friendly woman
who was in a vulnerable position. He definitely wanted her phone out of commission. He was really angry, not like ha-ha-ha, you c#* kblocked me mad but genuinely angry that I charged her phone.
This situation reminded me so much of Lauren's. I realize I place alot of emphasis on Lauren's phone in her situation but if she had had her
phone, she could have called someone. seeing this guy trying to keep this woman from her phone haunted the beejeezus out of me.
And, Lauren was trying very hard to find her phone. I don't believe she simply left her phone at Kilroy's. Because it was found there does not mean she left it there.
