Just got off the phone....
Him: Are you available this evening?
Me: I'm sorry but I'm finishing by 6pm today.
Him: Oh, I need to see you at 7. Can you do that?
Me: Sorry - normally I could but it's Halloween and I have plans this evening.
Him: Aw, why not? I really want to see you and I'm not off work until 5:30 and I have to go home and shower and then drive into the city.
Me: I understand, but I'm taking my children trick-or-treating. (I normally avoid mentioning my children but I somehow felt like I owed this guy an explanation and that he'd understand that being a good mum means doing these things... but no...)
Him: Aw, come on! I'll make it worth you while!
I just said I'm sorry and hung up but it took some willpower on my part not to yell at him. Probably something along the lines of WELL ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE IT WORTH MY KIDS' WHILE TOO? BECAUSE MY FIVE-YEAR-OLD WILL BE SO DISAPPOINTED THAT I DOUBT ANYTHING SHORT OF A FUCKING PONY WILL MAKE IT WORTH HIS WHILE.
I shouldn't have mentioned my kids in the first place. Assuming they will understand we're humans with lives that don't revolve around their cocks is a massive mistake on my part.
