My Last 5 Girlfriends Page #3

---

I was sure that I was put

on this earth to be with Wendy.

I love being with you.

I know that.

So, what's the problem?

It just wouldn't be fair on Alex.

I thought you said

that didn't matter anymore.

I know, but...

He should be devastated.

You're wonderful.

I want to spend

the rest of my life with you.

Stop! Don't, I can't.

It's gonna be painful

whatever happens.

The longer you leave it,

the worse it's gonna get.

- I know.

- You told me yourself

that you don't love him any more.

It's just that Alex has had so much

tragedy in his life this year.

- This'll just destroy him.

- But surely if you keep Iying to him,

it's only gonna make things worse.

I don't know

if I'm Iying to him, though.

What does that mean?

I don't know.

No. Come on, Wendy.

You either love him or you don't.

Yeah, I do love him.

Yes, but do you love him

more than me?

Wendy?

Wendy?

So how did this happen?

Where was...?

I need to see you now.

- And...

- You make me very happy.

Was this the same person that

on the sixth of December said...

Yeah, I'm sort of with this guy.

Sort of. But it's been pretty ropy

for quite some time now.

And two weeks later...

That's it. It's over.

It really is all over.

At what point did that become this?

- So you didn't tell him?

- Kind of.

It's kind of obvious.

He's not stupid.

When did the rot set in?

When did Alex start to seem

not that bad after all?

Was it the night

I described Wendy as...

- She's a bit dizzy.

- ... in front of her friends?

Was it my lack of enthusiasm

for this piece of contemporary dance?

Maybe I was too clingy.

- Hiya!

- Christ!

Or just too laid back.

Hey! Come on, it's starting!

Quick.

Or maybe I never really stood

any bloody chance in the first place.

Would you like some wine?

I don't mind. Do you?

Whatever you want.

- Either way is fine by me.

- I agree.

So should we have it or not?

Well, I don't think I'll have any.

After five dates with Olive,

I still knew almost nothing about her.

What kind of books do you like?

I like James Joyce, Henry James,

John Kennedy Toole.

I developed new personalities.

- Do you like your job?

- I think all jobs are pretty crappy.

Personalities based

on what I thought

she might like.

What do you like to do

at the weekends?

I run Saturday mornings,

and I have to see some nature.

Right.

But I couldn't tell who she was.

One minute she'd say...

I think there's nothing wrong

with being emotionally vulnerable.

- And the next...

- People are such wimps.

Had she liked any of the places

we had been together?

Did she like me?

I had no idea what she wanted.

Do you think two people

should live solely for one another?
