Car Salesman

The Car Salesman has only just recently appeared back in my life after a break of about 10 year, I guess a little background is required!

I remember first meeting him like it was yesterday, I was 20 years old and going for a job interview for a receptionist at a car dealership, I walked in and sat in reception when this cute guy walked towards me and asked if he could help (he'd obviously thought I was a potential customer!) I told him I was waiting for an interview and that was that.

Well I got the job so the next time I saw him was on my first day, I was one of a couple of girls (and the youngest by far) working with loads of men (can't really complain  at that!) anyway within the first week my 21st was coming up and I invited a few of the guys I'd met, includin g the salesman, it was a great night but I was a little bit naughty and snogged the salesman and one of the mechanics and a few others not from the garage! Well I had a few days off and the salesman and the mechanic had a chat on a break about the night out, yes I did get in trouble but all was well in the end.

The salesman turned out to be part of my life for a next couple of years, although I have to say we never actually went out with eachother, we were pretty much together every weekend and the several nights a week we went out, there was always something  between us but I don't think either of us wanted to take it any further at the time, we were both too young and having far too much fun at the time.

This however ended quite abruptly one Friday evening when I'd been over and cooked dinner for him, his best friend (who I'll introduce later) his girlfriend and my best friend (at the time!) we had a lovely meal and a couple of bottles of champagne, I went up to the toilet and when I came down the only thing I can say is it didn't feel right, it wasn't until the next night however that I learnt why I felt like that.

We were on a usual night out when I mentioned to the best friends girlfriend that I thought I might need to have a word with the best friend as she was being a bit OTT with the salesman, she said she was surprised I'd not killed her the night before, I think my face must have told her that I didn't know about the night before.........

Nightmares ensued, work was hellish for a little while, the best friend was pinned to the wall, the salesman had an awful lot of trouble getting his cars ready to go out on time as they all had to go through me and the atmosphere was awful, they went out for a bit but he dumped her saying she was mental and as soon as he dumped her she told him she thought she was pregnant (she wasn't, this was common practice with all men that dumped her!)

He told me he'd made a huge mistake, blah, blah, blah and that was  pretty much the last I saw of him, however his best friend and my male best friend are the same person, he was the finance manager in the garage and I still see him at least once a month for a curry and a drink, so a couple of months ago when I got a text from the salesman saying 'best friend says you still look great' I was a little surprised (mostly that my best friend would say that about me to be honest!)

Anyway the salesman and I have been talking for the last couple of months by text, he has a girlfriend and I've made it pretty clear I wouldn't be interested, however today I've had a text saying their on a break and their going to make the decision when she gets back from holiday, if they split would I be interested in going on a date?! Oh and telling me what a jerk he was and how much he likes me and always has, argh!!!!!
