Long....
March 28-29 2008 texting binge between Travis and E. They texted between 11:45pm to 3:15AM. E had just met him at a "luau" party that night, and had tucked her number into Naps' collar.
The texting would likely have begun earlier had T's phone not died for at least several hours.
The first part of the texting are general introductions. Within a few minutes after travis has begun texting with E, C. Lay texts :
"what do you like better? I want C Lay? Or I want to lay C?
Travis ignores her and goes back to texting with E.
Travis pretty quickly wants to know how old she is. He tells her he's 33 , which makes him some 13 years older then her. Asks, you don't have a problem flirting with a guy 13 years older than you?
She says no, it doesn't bother me . Does it bother you? He says no , my last girlfriend was younger than you...."if there is any reason to avoid me it isn't age. ' Is older men your thing? She says no.
Next T asks what she knows or has heard about him. She says just what's she has seen for herself and that a mutual friend speaks well of him. He also wants to know if she knows Lisa or Elena.. She says she's not close to either, T explains that Lisa is his ex -girlfriend.
She says she knows that, Travis asks how, she said she'd just heard it around.
Travis says that he didn't tell anyone that they had broken up because "I don't like creating enemies, so the less I talked about it the less I could upset her. But it didn't work. She doesn't speak to me now."
She says girls are tricky and impossible aren't we? He responds, "We all process things differently. She's an amazing girl still. I don't think any less of her. Break ups are hard. "
..."when people trash their ex I am always tempted to ask what's wrong with them , to date someone so horrible."
He asks her what attracted her to him...she tells him he's funny. He tells her she looks younger than 20, that she's a little thing. She says everyone always tells her she looks older then 20....and that she likes to think she'll age well.
They chitchat for a bit about interests, and they share several, including travelling.
Travis chides himself for talking too much and starts asking her questions about her Mormonism... born into or a convert, etc., how committed, basically.
He asks her what her greatest weakness is. She says- physical stuff. "Don't judge me!! I try to keep myself out of danger."
Travis says haha. I don't judge you. Me too .....we don't think about (religion?) when things get heated.
E: Very true.
T: Otherwise we wouldn't have any problems.
E: I agree. We all have this problem..
T: "Some more then others. Try being 30. it's hard freaking work."
E: I can't imagine .
T: "it is impossible to be 30 , single, and unscathed."
T: " I'm not justifying my past transgressions, but its a rough road at my age. I'm going against nature."
E: I have no excuse. Or I didn't anyway.
oh, I don't know. We all have a sex drive. I think its hard on all of us.
Travis sees that her texts are getting shorter, it is 3:15AM, he asks her if she's sleepy, they talk about seeing each other that night, and how much each has enjoyed the texting. Texting ends.
30 odd minutes later, at 3:49am,Travis texts the killer-
"You didn't bring me breakfast."
8:05am. J to Travis. " I hope ur hungry."
10:14 am. T to C Lay: so which one is it?
10:16 am. CLay: I have to say the 1st because the 2nd hasn't been tested yet.
10:16am. T to CL: let's test it then....
(End )
