I almost chocked on my coffee when I heard that voice.  Startled, yes I was.  For awhile i did not know what to do.  I was uncertain if I should say something or just hang up. My thoughts ran wild again.  I did not want to lead him on neither do i want him to build up hope on him and I.  All i wanted was just friendship and nothing more.  Don't get me wrong, Michael was a really nice guy, caring, sweet and helpful but I was not expecting anything more.  The way he's been calling me every single day, morning, afternoon and night checking on me were sending me the wrong signals.  I did not know how to react without hurting his feelings so i just decided to just dodge off some of his calls.  I figured the lesser we communicate the better and he would understand the hidden message.  I just did not have the heart to straight up and tell him i was not interested in any relationship with him.  

To be continued ....
