COA OCG? Moi?

Da Bod called me last night. I haven’t spoken with him for about a week and a half. He talked to me about work, his life and Kat his girlfriend. He said, “We got into a big fight about you last week.”

My interest was piqued. “Me? You fought about me? Why?”

“We always fight about you.”

Now this was odd to me, as I have never met her in the 8 months since they started dating. I have seen him only once in that time and I don’t speak with him more than once a week. (Although I do call him more often… but I call almost everyone daily.)

Embarrassingly I must admit to you it brought me a small amount of satisfaction that this disagreement occurred. “Why were you fighting about me?”

“She said that you call all the time, and she doesn’t think you should. She wanted to know that if you are such a big part of my life, why she hasn’t met you yet. I told her because you would give her a verbal whipping for behaving the way she does.”

Da Bod, ever the idiot man, just set me up to have this girl not like me without ever once speaking with me. Brilliant. I assured him that I would be as nice as ever to her, because I would want her to feel comfortable with me, as I am one of his best friends.

“Da Bod its reasons like this that I could never marry you. Doesn’t she know that?”

He responded, “Well actually she thinks that you and I are good friends that have only made out one time while we were drunk.”

A little stunned I replied, “We practically lived together for three years and I thought I was going to marry you, and she has no clue?”

Ha started laughing, “No.”

Da Bod really is an idiot. He went on to tell me that finally she alluded to the fact that he would need to cut me out of his life. He had my back and assured her this would never happen, that we have been too good of friends for too long.

I was telling LaLo the story at dinner last night. She sided with Kat. She said that he is in a relationship and I needed to respect that. I explained to her that A-of-all he doesn’t even like her that much, and he is one of my best friends. It's his fault for not being honest with her, not mine.

I told her about how a couple of months ago they celebrated their 6 month anniversary. She had gotten him this mushy “I love you” card (he still won’t say it to her). He told me that when he went to the Hallmark he found all of these cards that he thought were perfect for me, but none that he wanted to get for her.

I know know know that Da Bod loves me. I can do anything… misbehave, call all hours of the night or be brutally honest with him… and he will always love me... and most times he'll find it amusing. I feel the same way about him.

I told him that I did want to meet her to calm some of her fears about me, and reassure her that I am nothing more than a benign threat... I am NO threat. I know that I do not want him. Been there, done that.

My question is this, why was I still secretly happy that they argue about me? Is there any reason besides the fact that I am a COA (sometimes) bitch?
