Tobias Washingtion

I would have never guessed that I would be in a situation of waging combat on Rod Huntsinger, whom I always saw as a brother and my best friend. Rod Huntsinger and I have known each other for over twenty years. This story is an introduction and end of a friendship with Rod Huntsinger. I wanted to continue my comradeship, but Rod Huntsinger did not value our bond. The saying is true of how friendship dies and drifts away since we never know someone's true nature until we pay close attention to that person. It is true when our parents tell us to choose with caution about who we pick as friends.

My name is Tobias Washington. I am five feet and nine inches tall. I am Dominican and Irish. I have long brown hair that goes straight down to my back and brown eyes. I am often questioned about my age since I have a babyface even though I am thirty. I am lean and cut since I work out daily to be healthy and to look and feel great about myself.

People believed that in our desperation, we should embrace one another for comfort. I nevertheless agreed with this saying since people could be vile and hateful until I met this exquisite woman. This woman psychologically and physically made me want to be the most excellent version of myself. I felt euphoria and lust coming to me around her presence. I did not understand why I felt like I did around her. This lady made me want to show compassion and not hatred toward people. I had to find the courage to approach her to ask her out.

Appearances of someone can lead to deceitfulness. I noticed that this woman had an engagement ring, and seeing that ring made me livid and agitated. I was going to approach her but decided to back away, but I felt a light touch on my shoulders.

"Hey, I have noticed you have been observing me for a while."

"I am sorry; I just saw you as the most captivating woman in this room." She smiled at me, making me believe she took my words as a compliment.

The woman introduced herself as Grace Faith Summer. However, Grace preferred to go by her middle name, Faith, instead of her given name, Grace. Faith noticed when I was turning away. After twenty minutes of staring at her, I was deciding if approaching Faith would be the right move. The moment Faith tapped me on my shoulder was when I introduced myself to Faith as Tobias Washington."

I was paying attention to your hand. That was when I noticed your left hand had a ring, which seemed like an engagement ring on your finger. I have no desire to destroy your relationship with your significant other. That was why I turned away after I dared to approach you." That was what I had told Faith.

"I am not in a relationship currently. I wear this engagement ring so no one can approach me. Everyone, regardless of gender, whether it's men or women, finds me stunning. I wear this ring so people full of adulterous or lustful thoughts can leave me alone."

It does not always work, but most of the time, it does work, and it is an excellent opportunity to pretend to be off-limits, so womanizers, do not approach me with shameful pick-up lines such as Let me take you out or Let's make love as if I do not have self-respect for myself." That is what Faith had said to me.

Faith was correct about having men and women approach her because she is gorgeous. However, Faith stood out among other women because of her long fiery red hair that reached her butt, her blue eyes, and her black dress with designs of hearts.

"Just because I witness people approach you does not mean I should believe you about why you have an engagement ring on your left-hand finger. Do you expect me to trust that the engagement ring will distract people from approaching you?"

I found it challenging to believe Faith was single. So I asked Faith if she heard the saying trust but verify. I also learned I should not believe everything I get told until all facts are proven true." So that is what I said to Faith.

Well, I'm going to prove to you that I am single. Visit me today at 1600 (4 pm). I will cook for you. Please hand me your cell phone so I can provide you with my cell phone number and residency." That was what Faith had said to me.

I drove to the address Faith had provided me. I felt scared and worried someone might be in the house with Faith. I started to tremble as I rang the doorbell. I felt my most unfortunate suspicion was coming true. I was falling in love with Faith. At one time, I remember thinking, was it possible to be in love with someone you do not know? I thought I liked Faith for her body and not for anything else. Even though Faith was cute, I felt like Faith was hiding something from me.

I was reminded of my first serious relationship with a girl I did not know well. The girl and I dated for a few months until I decided she was not my type. This girl only cared about lovemaking; it was great, but it was not the only thing our relationship should have or be. At first, she was super shy and reticent but then became acting cold towards me. Do not get me wrong, she had long, beautiful red hair and blue eyes and was a personal trainer. I believe her name was Tracey Winters; it is a blur. When Tracey said anything to me, it went in one ear and out the other. Tracey was demanding, vindictive, and pushy. Tracey had no excellent qualities because she was fake to people who did not know her well.

After reminiscing about my past, Faith opened her door to welcome me into her home. Once we started chatting, I told Faith about my personal life and relationship experiences. Then, Faith put her arms around my body to comfort me. After that, I became emotional, which I had not done in a long time, especially in front of a woman I had just met. However, I held back my tears because I did not believe in crying in front of a woman. Also, I am not an enthusiast because I thought they would laugh at being sensitive.

"You do not have to be scared of showing your emotional side in front of me."

"There is more to me on why I dislike showing my emotions in front of anyone. It will be a long process if you want to know me. I want us to get to know each other for at least three years."

"You must have trust issues that you want us to get to know each other for at least three years before you can fully show your emotional side. That is a normal response for someone after only meeting them."

The next thing I remember was waking up in my bed. I do not know why my entire body was feeling pain. Every time I moved, I thought I would pass out how unbearable the pain was. I probably got drugged without my noticing. I have every reason to believe Faith slipped an untraceable drug into the drink she had given me. I must return to Faith's place to find out what got put in my body. I needed to figure out why she felt it was necessary to drug me. Even though I have trust issues, something tells me that Faith also does. Therefore, I believe Faith belongs with me.

Before I started having trust issues, I served in the military for four years on active duty and four years as an inactive reservist. I had trusted strangers because the military is a brotherhood/sisterhood. However, I got screwed repeatedly and gave up on trusting people.

Trusting people is correct, but I will not do that since the damage got done. One day, I realized that the world is awful and has cruel people. The only person you should rely on or believe in is yourself.
