sandra
pst
hey
hello?
oh i see how it's going to be
your girlfriend is suddenly in town and you don't even tell me she's SUPER HOT
keanu
wha ─ what?
and yes 😊 skeeter is VERY beautiful
sandra
hELL YEAH
i mean, that HAIR
keanu
are you mad at me or just venting about skeeter's hair?
sandra
oh right
yes i'm mad at you 🤨 but only because you haven't brought her over for dinner
keanu
sandy, you sound like my mother 🙄
sandra
oh good idea! we should invite her too 😁
keanu
invite her to what?
sandra
the dinner
keanu
what dinner?
sandra
the one happening tonight at my place 😜
keanu
what's the occasion?
sandra
i want to meet the woman who makes my best friend happy!
that should be a good enough reason
keanu
hm. . .i'll think about it
sandra
keanu charles reeves, you will not think about bringing the hot doctor to dinner tonight. what you will do is bring the hot doctor to dinner tonight. understood?
keanu
why do you keep calling her hot?
sandra
because she is!
keanu
wait, how do you know she is? you haven't even seen her face yet
sandra
yeah because you won't send me pictures 🙄
keanu
how do you know she has nice hair?
sandra
i saw it on an instagram post 🤗
keanu
what post?
sandra
how can she like you? you're clueless sometimes, ke
here:
sandra sent a link!
this is my favorite one btw:
sandra
i see you took her to the Ambrosia Club 😏 super fancy restaurant for the ever-so secretive couple of the year
keanu
shit
this is bad
sandra
calm down, keanu
you can't even see her face
keanu
true but you know how those reporters are
they're ruthless
i bet they're stalking every enneagram account right now trying to find the woman who looks like her
which is good i guess because skeeter doesn't have social media
but her brothers do so what if they find a picture of her and people connect the dots?
sandra
instagram
keanu
huh?
sandra
the app that you're talking about is called instagram and what is happening here? you've never given a fuck if people find out who you're dating
keanu
ofc i don't give a fuck but skeeter is different, okay? i actually want this to last as long as it could
sandra
you're really serious about her, huh?
excuse me for being cliché but do you feel like she's the right one aka THE one?
keanu
the thing is, sandy, i don't think i've ever loved the wrong one. i think it was just the wrong time or the wrong place or the wrong circumstances. when i'm with her, everything just feels right as if there were missing pieces of my life falling into place little by little.
i've always been regarded as the "lone wolf" or "the most eligible and oldest bachelor" and i don't usually mind being alone too.
sandra
is that why you break it off when the relationship gets too serious?
keanu
hm. . .possibly.
or it's the other way around. i tell women i just want to be by myself for awhile and interpret it as "i'm breaking up with you" 🙃
i've been alone for too long that i don't even know what cooking with someone else feels like.
sandra
awweee, you guys cook together? that's too adorable!
keanu
uh. . .it's more of me doing the cooking and she watches or chops vegetables really 🤷🏻♂️
sandra
still. 🥰🥰🥰
the deal breaker is always if your partner snores. does she snore?
keanu
i don't know? we don't sleep in the same bed
sandra
THAT'S A CRIME
keanu
no it's not because we've only been dating for a month
sandra
true but you've been friends longer too 🤔
keanu
i think it's because skeeter is used to sleeping by herself too
sandra
is she used to eating dinner by herself? because we have still have that dinner
keanu
oh right
i'll tell her
hopefully she doesn't freak out
sandra
pfttt
you know i'm hip 😎 so she's got nothing to worry about
keanu
yeah. . .i don't think people say "hip" anymore
also, don't invite my mom
i don't think we're in that whole "meet-the-family" stage yet
sandra
oh. . .
uh. . . .
. . . . . .i wasn't supposed to invite your mom?
keanu
sandra annette!

The difference between being with him and being with Keanu is sooooo huge that I feel like I could take out a whole forest just by listing them one by one. But, no. We love trees and we love this planet. Therefore, I'll try to list it down in this little diary of mine.
Being with him were the worst years of my life. It felt like there was a rock tied to my feet and I was constantly drowning in the toxicity that was him. I was always scared I'd do anything to upset him or that he'd feel he wasn't good enough in doing his job. Every day I prepared for the yelling of derogatory names to be thrown at my face. I was scared that what I wore and how I did my make-up was too provocative. He'd pull my face roughly toward his and tell me sweetly that he was just looking out for me. He didn't want other men to get the wrong idea. Ugh, I still shudder at the thought of those horrible times. Fortunately, I untethered that rock and ─ when I did ─ I could finally swim to the surface and breath easier.
Recovering from being drowned in a toxic relationship wasn't easy. I could see the surface but everything was just so blurry like there was still some sea water clinging to my eyes. I'm happy to tell you that it does get easier. I went to a group home that dealt with domestic abuse victims. It felt nice knowing that what I was going through wasn't my fault and that I wasn't ever alone. I moved back to my hometown and got myself the job that I knew ─ in my tissues and cells ─ I would excel in. I could see land clearly now. But, somehow, I just felt like there was something missing.
The years I spent with him were steadily triumphed just by the mere weeks I spent being with Keanu. (Not to mention the months leading up to that kiss in the rain. He proved to be a good friend too.) I'm not going to play dumb and tell you I didn't know who he was because I did but I just didn't care that he was a Hollywood legend.
To end this entry for today: I fucking miss work.

MICKEY MOUSE IS CALLING!
ANSWER | DECLINE
"Oh my god! What? What?!"
"Jesus, Skeeter. Calm down."
"What do you want, Christopher? I'm a bit busy."
"Doing what? Laughing your ass off on Charlie's couch? Because that's where you are, right?"
". . .Yes."
"Cool. Just checking."
"Cool? What happened? You don't say cool."
"Just. . .you're cool."
"Huh?"
"Nothing!"
"For fuck's sake, say what you wanna say, dumbass!"
"What's gotten you so riled up anyway?"
". . .N ─ nothing. Sorry. Hey, quick question: you never told me how you met Bambi's mom."
"That's not a question."
"Well. . .what were you wearing when you met her mom?"
"Uh. . .jeans and a t-shirt? It was sort of unplanned for me to show up at her childhood home in Pennsylvania after '#BambiGrayIsOverParty' started trending on Twitter."
"Oh. Cool."
"You're meeting his mom, huh?"
". . .Uhm. . .I ─ I have to go. Bye!"
"See ya, Skeeter! Don't make yourself look like an idiot!"
"I hope you choke on your dinner, Christopher!"
CALL ENDED!
