And she has laryngitis, so it truly isn't over.
Even though I end things... Even though I may say "don't call me"... most of them still call or email or text or instant message.
LegalSeafoods: He's instant messenging me as I write this.
Harvard Business School (HBS): constantly begs me to visit him in Milwaukee.
Ex-Boyfriend: Keeps in touch platonically. It works out well. I just asked him for sex advice. (I know!)
Strays here and there: When are we gonna hang out again???
And now... LV.
He said he wanted a serious relationship. I said no. I knew I'd hear from him again, but I wasn't expecting to hear from him as soon as I did.
I'd say about 2 weeks after things ended before they even really began, he emailed me and asked if I had any free time coming up to come to Vegas.
HBS played this game with me a few months ago. He expected me to plan my trip out Milwaukee. Please... you want me, you do the work.
And that's exactly what LV did. I told him the weekend of Dec 3rd. A half an hour later, he emailed me my flight itinerary.
I flew into Vegas Friday night. On the flight there, I got drunk with the girl next to me and we chatted about all about Vegas and whatnot... you know that whole "I'm drunk and you're my new best friend" deal.
I arrived at midnight East Coast Time. LV picked me up and drove me around the strip. We then went to a new hotel called Red Rock and met up with his old boss and a few clients. I wasn't tired at all, so we played craps until 5am EST. My first time rolling the dice I hit the dealer, but afterwards I kept hitting the wall as I should and it was a blast!
Saturday I wanted to walk around the casinos and watch LV play in a poker tournament. He had a couple tournaments to choose from, and each could go for 4+ hours depending on how well he did. Since he tends to make the final table he told me it would be boring to watch him for 4+ hours, so he gave me $1000 and told me to go have some fun and call him when I'm done or if I need more money.
I know you think I'm joking, but I assure you that he was for real. I took the money and went straight to the shops in Ceasar's palace. LV called me before I was done because some amateur nailed him 2 hours into the tournament.
Bad for LV. Good for me to have cash... and now his credit card.
Purchases:
Purse from Louis Vuitton $650
Sunglasses from Gucci $300
Shoes from Burberry $250
Dress from Intermix $270
Headband from Burberry $65
After shopping, I sat and watched him go almost all the way in the second tournament. I figure sitting around and watching him play for 5 hours is worth $1500 in designer fun.
Unfortunately he didn't make it to the final table, but we went back to Red Rock and won some money playing craps. We slept well last night and he dropped me off at the airport this morning.
I got home a couple hours ago, and I actually wondered whether LV had fun. He spent thousands just to have me visit for 2 nights. I wouldn't spend that kind of money on any man.
The second I landed, I got a text saying he missed me already. So yes he had fun.
Will I see him again?
Maybe
Do I care?
Nah
VIVA LAS VEGAS!
(and I'll admit I am bummed that I didn't get to see Celine Dion sing. I hope she feels better soon!)
