A couple of hours sleep after David’s Party I was Marina’s Body Painting Model again…. We were both feeling a bit flat, hung over whatever you want to call it so we decided to crack open a bottle of wine…… 1 bottle of wine later and I was painted, we decided to wander around San Antonio so Marina could hand out some business cards, it was a Friday so she was trying to get people for the following day going to zoo or just going out anywhere……. and having people see me painted up with what Marina can do makes such a difference and really gets peoples attention…… I didn’t plan on going out that night but I was all painted up and ready to go so why not, when in Ibiza! Plus us girls can have some of the best conversations in the bathroom, I was basically walking, talking & dancing advertising for Marina…..
Now I do love being painted up, it’s a lot of fun and Marina and I have such a good laugh plus she is very talented…. But I was feeling a bit blah, had been painted up all day, was hung over then got drunk again then sobered up, and was getting drunk again….. the last few times I had been out in the west end I was a Geisha, then a leopard with a Mohawk and now painted again so I wasn’t feeling it so to speak…..Most people would probably just go home…… but I am a trooper!
Off to Beverly’s! No not Beverly’s the swingers club but the bar where our friend Beverly works – If you are unsure why we call Ben, Beverly it’s because when we first met him he told us he goes to Beverly’s a well known swingers club in Ibiza. So we nicknamed him Beverly or Bev’s. Sitting outside his bar having a few leisurely drinks when all of a sudden a guy sits down next to me and tries to take a photo of him and I, kung-fu Marina shuts that down quick smart… I think he was shocked at her lightening reflex, turns out he was out solo for the night and really meant no harm. I sat and chatted with Gabriel who I found out was in Ibiza for a few days on holiday with a friend, he is 35, from Miami (loving the accent), lives in Belgium and works in the military, has 8 skull tattoos in total and doesn’t really drink….. I let him off with the no drinking because of the skull tattoos. We sat and chatted for ages and Miami turns to me and says ‘You are a Unicorn’…….
Naturally I think this is a fantastic pick-up line because who doesn’t want to be called a Unicorn! In any pick-up situation you have to be a little bit weary, in Ibiza you have to know that, that pick-up line has been so used it’s as worn out as Michael Jackson’s lawyer…. (Sorry MJ!)
None the less Miami was sweet and good company so he ended up partying with us, we left Beverly’s who said he was going to call me later in the night to meet up….
Now the situation with Bev is that he has said this before and never called. When I first met Beverly I thought he was gay, turns out he isn’t so we had swapped numbers to hang out and entertain the idea of selling club tickets together, 2 weeks passed and I never heard from him, only if I had seen him at his work. Marina, Bev and I all flirt harmlessly together, he gets us workers priced drinks and he is a good laugh but that is it, you’ve had my number for 2 weeks and done nothing with it so to me that is – friend zoned. So Bev tells me he is going to call me later and for us to meet at Hush a bar in the west end, I say yeah ok thinking well yeah we shall see, all good either way….
Marina, Miami and I head to Oscar’s trance den for his famous Mojitos, seriously these things are amazing!…… Then off to Tropicana across the road for a dance….. Time was getting on and eventually the West End bars closed. The 3 of us head up to the Ship Inn as it will sometimes stay open later than bars in the West End and there is Beverly inside the Ship Inn….. He sees us and starts getting upset at me for not answering my phone and telling me that he was waiting for us in Hush and how rude of me to not be there or answer his calls…… I tell him that I didn’t hear my phone, which is the truth and that I was surprised he even called me…… Then it just got weird…..
So there is Marina well and truly in the bag needing to go home, myself wanting to go home, Miami offering to walk us home and Beverly thinking well this is what Beverly was thinking…… Beverly turns to me and says ‘So in life you have options, the option to go with 1(as he pulls one of his socks up his leg) and then you have option 2’ as he attempts to pull up the other sock……. I knew what he was getting at because earlier he grabbed an eating utensil and said ‘Do you wanna fork?!’…….. I in a friendly joking way laughed him off and tried to get Marina to come with me, she wasn’t budging and was quite happy where she was. I don’t ever like to leave my friends especially girls without making sure they are safe but Marina wasn’t having it, she wasn’t coming with me….. Now I am standing in the middle of Beverly and Miami, it felt like one of those awkward as hell moments where the bachelorette has to give out the last rose except there are no roses in this story and I am still painted as a leopard….. Beverly looks at me and says ‘ I thought we were going to ride tonight?’…..With that I gave Beverly a look of ‘Are you serious?….Who says Ride?’ amongst many other thoughts…… Said good bye to Marina and grabbed Miami’s hand to walk me home…….
What I got from this situation was that Beverly has had my number for over 2 weeks and never used it, he sees me getting some male attention and all of a sudden I look shiny and new again?!…. Seriously who says ride?……
The following night I decided to stay in, and I wake up the next morning to several messages from Miami. He was saying that he saw Beverly last night and that he is the worst human being ever and will have to tell me the story in person…… I suggest Miami and I go for breakfast….. We meet up and he begins to tell me about his night.
So Miami is out in the West End and ends up in the area where I had met him near Beverly’s, he sits down and starts chatting to some girls. He said they were having great chats when Beverly comes over to the table and starts saying some very inappropriate things to Miami, I will insert some child friendly words to give you an example ‘Did you take Claire home last night and ‘ride’?’ Beverly is saying to Miami in front of his new friends…… Miami gets up and takes Beverly aside, some more words were exchanged along the lines of ‘You stole Claire from me’ says Beverly….. Miami said he was about to knock him out but told him that he didn’t want to fight with him at his work place but is more than happy to come back when he finishes and ‘sort it out’… Beverly says to Miami, well you can chat to all of my friends, pointing at security guards and other workers around him…… Miami decides to leave it and goes back to the table for the girls to say to him ‘Yeah we have to leave now’…….. I have no doubt Miami who is in the military would have knocked Beverly flat out and he would have deserved it, I was furious firstly because I wasn’t anyone’s to steal and second for ruining Miami’s night when he is just here on holiday….. Not gonna lie a teeny tiny eeeny weeeny part of me was feeling a bit special that two guys were going to get into a punch up over me, come on you can’t tell me you wouldn’t like that just a little! I would just like to add that violence is not the answer.
