Fairy
In the past few months that Snow has been gone, Druid has been so good to me.
Last week I was rear ended in a car accident. It was one in the morning, I had worked all day, it was in a bad neighborhood, the woman did not pull over, or get out of her car, just pulled up next to me as I got out and said her friend was in labor and she had to get to the hospital. I was stunned, I got her insurance number which she read to me from her car, then when I moved to the back of her car to get her license plate number she took off. And I knew I was in trouble.
So I came home and cried to Druid for some time… and then he said the most wonderful thing.
Druid: have ya ever look about in real life at people and thought to yerself….Tha person isa elf…or tha person isa fairy…
Estrella Canadeo: yes I guess so… to people I’m close with
Druid: Look about at work one night….a lil theory my wife and I have…some people tha glamour is so thin on ya can tell by lookin at them tha they are more than they appear ta be….
Druid: Down tha street…when we lived in maryland…there was this guy…
Druid: Big…fat gut…always at out on his front porch in shorts and wife beater…..
Druid: One day we looked at him and it clicked…all he needed was a bulls head and an axe and he would be a minotaur….
Estrella Canadeo laughs
Druid: Ya know lass..from tha moment I met ya I knew ya were a fairy….
Estrella Canadeo: that’s funny, Kieran said that the first few days we knew each other… she said she’s waiting to see wings sprout from my back. But what makes you say that now?
Druid: Bahh…sometimes it’s just somethin ya need ta hear….
Estrella Canadeo smiles
Estrella Canadeo: it made me smile
Druid: Ya have tha mischievous glimmer in yer eyes….
Druid: and an odd grace tha even if yer ungraceful it looks like it’s on purpose….
Druid: and I would bet my nubby lil tail lass…tha ya have one of those infectious smiles tha lights up a room…and no matter how sour ya are….ya can’t help but ta smile….
Estrella Canadeo: nu uh!
Druid: Do nae bullshit me lass…I can tell….
Druid: Well my point lass is this…with a daughter like tha I can’t say I would want her ta leave home either….know it would happen but I wouldn’t be happy on it….
Druid always makes me smile.
Flirts
In the past two months since Snow has been away I keep finding myself in bad situations with men flirting with Essie and not knowing how to politely decline the advances without hurting the other’s feelings. I know it’s wishy washy… and odd perhaps as Snow still wont return for another four months. But I made a promise to wait for him, and Essie isn’t the sort to not wait or start messing around with a number of lovers.
And so I’m left in situation after situation where a man makes an advance and at first I play along simply because I think it’s a bit of fun… and then I find somehow that apparently smiling to a compliment means I’m ready to make out. I have to push myself away, and then things become awkward.
What I can’t really understand is why so many men have decided to flirt with Essie or desire more… is it because they know Snow is gone now so they think I am easier to break? Is it because of my new fancy smancy title as leader of the fae? Is it because the more I avoid, the more they desire? Or is it because I just smile too much as Essie making it easier to approach me as, dare I say it, an easy target.
I’ve become a bit meaner towards men, not terribly, but a little more firm towards the ones I sense are flirting with me. But there are some who clearly are determined to change my mind while Snow is gone, and it’s rather insulting in some ways. In one instance I was purposely talking about how much I missed Snow and the male tried to kiss me anyway. Blarg!
I suppose I should be flattered by all the male attention (and even female attention) I’ve gotten lately. Sometimes there are a few who make me wish that I was more willing to play around. But a promise is a promise…. and Snow is well worth the wait.
