Mary Jane Update

I should have fucking updated this blog as the events with Mary Jane unfolded. The entries would have been more compelling instead of one big blur.

Anyway, I knew how this was going to end. I knew what she was up to when I met her.

MJ is from the same eastern European country my ex Rebecca is from. MJ's student visa ran out and she needs someone to sponsor or marry her for a green card. I was the target.

So we go out and have a good time in general. I take her to nice restaurants, we go to movies and just enjoy each others company. The whole time though I keep my heart in check.

One day Rebecca calls me in a semi-panic. "You're not gonna marry this girl are you?"

"What? No. I know she's up to something. I knew it was just a matter of time before she asked me to help her get her papers in line."

"Well don't be surprised if she asks you this weekend."

Sure enough, right after I talked with Rebecca, MJ sends me a text message: I need to see you. We need to talk. It's very important.

I put it off for a week with work excuses. Why? Cause I'm to busy giggling over the situation.

Finally the day comes. She asks me to meet her at a local restaurant for coffee. I say okay and we shot the shit. I kept waiting and waiting for my marriage proposal. It never came. So I suggested a movie. We went to see "Due Date." Fucking hilarious.

After the date she dropped me off at my car but stopped me.

She said,"I may as well ask you. You know my situation. Can you help me out?"

Me, being one who doesn't like hints, replied,"Help you out? How?"

"You know what I'm asking. I feel comfortable with you. I like you. Think about it."

I said,"Listen. I have a lot to lose by doing this. I'd have to protect myself from financial and property losses if it ever came to that."

"Please think about it. I'm sure we could be happy. I'll sign anything you want. My friend was in the same situation. She met a guy and they married. She signed all the he wanted. They are very happy now."

"It's not that easy for me. This is something I don't take lightly. I'm not saying you are up to anything bad. But I am taking a lot of risk for little reward while you reap the benefits. Plus I'm not sure my family would accept you because."

"Why wouldn't they accept me?"

"Because they would know it's a marriage of convenience and not one out of love."

"Well think about it."

With that she leaned over and kissed me. A sweet kiss. She let go of my hand and I walked to my car.

Yes I did think about it. I even talked to one of my lawyer buddies and he said that a prenup most likely would hold up in court.

In the end, I know it would have been wrong. So many reasons why. It was nice being a couple for a brief period. I liked having a beautiful woman with me. There just was no feelings on my part. None whatsoever. What basis is that for a relationship much less a marriage?

I haven't seen her since that night. So long Mary Jane...okay so I'm still giggling about it.
