Phone conversation with silences

[franceslievens]

"If I'd only tell you what I have to tell, then we wouldn't have anything to talk about." His statement is followed by a meaningful silence to let it sink in, until I smirk at him through the phone. As always I don't have too much to add, whatever he throws at my feet.
"I reckon you actually don't want to know what I happen to be thinking about." I'm still convinced I lead a boring life.
"Frances, I'm this voyeuristic bastard," he replies, "and you, well, aren't much of an exhibitionist. My questions lead me no-where."
"You ask questions I can't or won't answer."
"You're a strange girl." And that is a compliment.

You sound just like Spouse.... I think you and P, and Me and Spouse have a role reversal going on!

*lol* sounds like a lovely, understanding, relationship... Quirky, but nice!

Pssst, Chrissie, the "he" isn't P. (to make a rhyme of it), but the person I sometimes refer to as A.

But yes, I have a lovely, understanding relationship. *g*

Haha, no worries. I know P. is featured most of the time here (which isn't so strange, since we live together!), but sometimes others creep in as well.

A., a bachelor by vocation, was btw asking about my healthy and loving relationship, and I was tired of the question, so didn't want to answer, hence his remark on voyeurism vs exhibitionism. ;-)
