Abortion

Today at the gym I accidently called a friend “babe.” The friend in question (Vendetta), caught up with me at the bench press. We exchanged niceties followed by her saying “I’d hug you if I weren’t so sweaty.” As if on auto pilot I immediately responded, “like I’ve ever cared, get over her babe(!).” She either didn’t notice or didn’t care enough to confront the awkwardness. I know what your thinking, Freidan slip. No! Vendetta is an attractive woman in her own right, but; 1) I am very satisfied with my girlfriend, 2) She has a boyfriend (seems like a nice guy), 3) I just don’t see her that way (we’ve always had a strong purely platonic chemistry that is so natural it has never had to be further examined or explained). I felt like the student who accidently called his elementary teacher “mom.”
I chalk the accidental “babe” to a misplaced association with Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan and I are somewhere between something new and something you can comfortably place your trust in. I am really starting to enjoy the person beyond the remarkable aesthetics. Last weekend we really flowed together, it was a pleasant surprise. We had an incredible workout, we had a multitude of conversations, she was like my it my best friend with romantic allowances. Which leads me to my explanation: 1) I was in the gym with a woman I am naturally comfortable with, 2) sharing a good flow with not to much unlike I did with Azerbaijan, and 3) I’ve said similar things to Azerbaijan on multiple occasions… “babe” just came out too easily.
When I think about what I said “like I’ve ever cared, get over her babe” it doesn’t even make sense with Vendetta. “Like I’ve ever cared” I never cared or not cared with her, but I have said the exact thing to Azerbaijan at the gym (in fact I find her oddly attractive after her exhaustive workouts). The words “get over here babe” those are words that are completely reserved for my girl, I don’t even know if I’ve ever said them to any other girlfriend. I don’t feel guilty about it, that being said I know Azerbaijan would surly be rubbed the wrong way by the tale (cant blame her for that). Truly, the only reason I said it was because of a incredible associations I have with her. still i wish i never said it.

Anyway, that was a funny/odd/awkward thing that happened to me today.
