[Non-Fiction] When Demon's make you love them - a true story

[Bloxo]

Hello all,
If you are reading this I better give you a heads up, this is a story of my love in life...and how it has tried to break me over the years, all elements are real and from my own memory, there is kink included in this story, but it won't be fantastical, it will go back and forward in time a bit and is a journey of self discovery I have been on.
I hope you may learn from this as I have and otherwise hope you find this an interesting read...

Introduction:

Richard has been living in Poland for 2 years now, falling in love with a country not of his own as originally he was born in the UK, he moved for work and for a fresh start of adventures in life!

June 2019 -
Richard works in an office, as many of us do nowadays, his position is one of expert authority, he is there to guide the new teams in Poland, teach them their job and how the company works, as part of this role he works closely with a large team, regularly socialises outside of work with Beer and Vodka, the two staples of drinking life living in Central Europe, he feels well established, respected by his colleagues and managers...and is having a much more progressive and satisfying life here than he found in the UK.

The country he works for is creating a new team, transitioning work from India to Poland, he is to be a key coordinator for this project and will be responsible for not only training the new members of the company but also assessing whether they are fit to go live once training and shadowing have been completed.

June is the month when all the employees are assembled, he walks through the office led by his manager Alicja, a very attractive Polish women with dark brown hair, a trim figure and emerald eyes and the new manager Damian, younger than Richard but very focused and determined, in his mid 20's of thin build with short Blonde hair.
He turns the corner to see the new team...there are a lot of new faces...and a couple of old ones that have moved from the previous team he works with. The group is about 25 strong, mostly younger members, he would learn they range from 21 - 40 actually, but most are in their mid twenties.

There are formal introductions, Richard is very excited to work with all these new and enthusiastic people as well as taking on the new challenges that this role will bring and the level of respect his opinion will matter.

After these brief speeches he proceeds with the desk move, transitioning his work computer and his various desk accessories (including a few geeky figure touches) to his new seat...he finally gets to sit at a window! Very exciting

He hears all the excited Polish voices around him and of course cannot really follow what they are saying, he exchanges pleasantries with a few of the people sat near him.

At the beginning Richard's role is to give a series of presentations and a few trainings about country specifics, often taking a large theatre style room, the layout consisting of a set of raised benches at the back where the team are sat, Richard is positioned in front of the projector screen where he talks through various training presentations he has been given, the team is attentive and ask a lot of relevant questions, he feels confident that they will do a good job

Fast forward a few days...

Richard has always been the one in the office to organise social gatherings, his colleagues are his lifeline out in this country, he relies on them to give him a network of friends...and most really don't want the responsibility or have the drive to do large scale gatherings...

He engineers a large amount of the new members to join him down by the River, the Vistula...Warsaw's finest drinking spot in the summer.
This is his first social encounter with the group, he is a little embarrassed that he doesn't know everyone's name yet, but he is getting there.
The usual questions are asked, what are you doing in Poland? What do you think of Poland? Don't you miss the UK? Etc...
Even though he's had these questions constantly since he moved, he is happy to answer and get to know all these new people.
As the sun goes down, the decision is made to go to Pawilony, a drinking district in the city, an intricate network of small bars, often at pretty cheap prices.
They all crowd around a couple a table, the numbers having dwindled from the original gathering, this is for the more determined socialites!
Richard orders some beers...of course his Polish is not great, often further hindered by his pronunciation...by mistake he orders 9 Zywiec lagers...he only wanted 1...he comes back to the table with his mistaken bounty and further ingratiates himself with the free beer for his colleagues haha,

He gets to know the team bit by bit, surrounded by some rather young and attractive women, as well as some cool guys, all of them have good English and are very talkative, the night is a fine one...shame about having to work the next day


...okay, so maybe this is a little dull a start, but I wanted to establish the scene so you can see how all developed, the next chapters will get progressively more personal and more interesting

[Bloxo]

The days are tough for the new team, outside of the Training that Richard provides they spend the rest of their days on calls to India...Richard chuckles as he sees them switching on the subtitles so they can understand the tough Indian accents...

Richard keeps things light hearted in the office, throwing paper planes and stress balls around to keep the team in a fun mood and to distract them a little from the day to day, the team around him engage and make this a fun part of the day

Another night out is organised, this time the team is going to a craft beer pub called Piw Paw, this time...it will be the whole team, not just the new members, a large group assembles on the metro to head down, much excited talking and banter proceeds, this is going to be a great night!

As the team heads from the central metro up to the bar the heavens open and it begins to pour with rain! Richard didn't bring an umbrella...but then this girl steps in and offers to share hers...
Her name is Asia (pronounced Asha), she is 29, about 5 foot 8, long blonde/brown hair, Deep brown eyes and a trim figure, she is a member of the new team being trained. Richard greatly appreciates the help, they make it to the bar...

They find some large tables downstairs where the 40 odd group can all sit together, the setting is kind of a dark cavern, with bottlecaps decorating the walls, the floors are black. The selection of craft beers is immense, most likely around 100 varieties and varying in type, flavour and strength...some real gems there from all over Europe!

The seating is general split with the old CL team on one table, the new CI team on another, there are also some other guests from the UK who are stationed in Poland for a few months, Diogo and Ashley...a few outsiders from other teams also tag along...so it is a big night! There is a lot of talking, group photo's and great integration!
The night goes by without incident, it is fun and goes on into the early hours!

A few days later there is another gathering, this time we go to a more local craft beer bar called Muranow, this is a smaller place, with normally about 15 different beers on tap, the range changing regularly, this time it is a much smaller gathering, mainly the new members but also a couple of the old crew.

Richard and Asia end up in a corner of a table together and the conversation is very focused, she likes to talk about her achievements, before this role she was doing a PHD in Geology...or something similar and was actually stationed out in a remote area called Spitsburgen up in Norway doing scientific study on glaciers.
Richard has a science background and finds this all quite interesting, they are talking for hours and there is good eye contact and stimulating conversation.
Asia leaves around 10, Rich's friend Szymon, a slightly muscular Pole with dark hair and Blue eyes starts to say that he should go for it, she is clearly interested, others in the group remaining chime in to say the same...

Rich has always been a bit hesitant about dating someone in the office, but he is very attracted to this girl...and it seems she feels the same way...

[Bloxo]

Time in the office is fun, the team are in good spirits and even though Richard has a lot to do...he is loving it, this transition project is very interesting, his ideas are being readily accepted and all is on track

He finds a very slight rivalry with a new supervisor...her name is Weronika, a slightly mousy girl, shortish dark hair, but pretty in her own way. She came over from the German team...and her ideas are rather inexperienced, she has a much softer approach to team development and she is getting very close to the team as Richard is...

The fun, games and banter despite the work flourish, Richard and Asia regularly throw things at each other in a playful way and have the odd chat here and there, all is looking positive...and Asia has a birthday coming up, the big 30! She invites the team to join her in a bar...I forget the name in Polish, but it translates to Deep Throat...something Rich finds amusing in a twisted way.

The party is on Saturday and starts at around 7, at this point we are well into July, the weather is warm, the nights long and the atmosphere in the city very positive and lively.
Using google maps, Rich tracks down the bar, it is on a rather steep street off one of the main thoroughfares near the centre of the city, he steps in and it is again a dark room, a very square area with some large tables and sofa like booths lining the walls, to the right is another room which forms an L shape around the well stocked bar.

He is greeted by Asia, who gives him a warm hug and a peck on the cheek, she takes him over to the bar to buy him a drink (this is a tradition in Poland, where the birthday boy/girl actually treats the guests).
Richard gladly takes a beer and presents Asia with a small gift, a glass Dolphin which he had purchased in the Czech Republic some months prior, she receives this happily and gives him a strong hug and again a kiss on the cheek with a radiant smile they proceed to the table she has reserved where some of the rest of the group are already present.

Asia sits in the corner with the comfy booths, while Richard perches on the opposite corner of the table, sat next to a girl called Marta, one of the smartest in the group...but no drinker haha,

The night continues into a card game that Asia has brought, she is a big fan of games...something Rich is also keen on in life, and something he finds exciting and fun about her, there are no bets or anything but the group have fun.
Later on Asia breaks out this Alcohol called Mintu, something from Norway...basically this mint flavoured Liquor, she shares it around the table and it is very tasty...however...once the bar staff find out she had brought her own alcohol we are rather harshly asked to leave the premises...Asia argues with the staff but they won't budge...

We all get up and move on...

The next few hours are a little blurry, a result of alcohol no doubt, the group I believe goes to a Subway for some food and ends up in some other random bar...but that is all I can remember...

Next thing I know it is around 3am, Richard and Asia are alone and walking towards the river, at the start of the evening she had expressed a wish to see the sunrise...I guess no one else was able to make it, walking and talking all the way they soon make it to the stone steps on the bank.

They take a seat as the sun gradually arises on the horizon, the area being bathed in a warm glow, they still have Asia's Mintu which the share, a few local cleaning teams are busy cleaning up the mess from those who were on the riverside the night before, other than that they are alone.

I do not remember what was said, but the next thing I know...Rich and Asia are kissing, it feels magical and exciting, they stay on the steps for sometime longer in one another's embrace...Asia suggests to go back to Rich's place...

[Bloxo]

They both went to the roadside and ordered an Uber, although it had been a bit of an all-nighter Rich was excited...this couldn't have gone any better, it just felt so right...he was very happy.

They made it back to his flat, now at the time he was on a second floor flat, it consisted of a long corridor, walk in closet to the left, bathroom to the right, then further on the left was an alcove containing a double bed, the living room/kitchen was up ahead.
It was a dark Oak colour scheme and a very modern flat.

It wasn't long before they were kissing and tumbling onto the bed, removing each others clothes and getting very passionate, Asia's body was a thing of beauty, smooth white skin, curves in all the right places, the breasts were maybe a B cup, the arse nice and firm...but alas, alcohol isn't always a good thing before sex...Rich could get hard but couldn't maintain it...the natural disaster for any man! Asia was understanding and they both went to bed to sleep holding each other...

The following morning they woke up and basically went straight back to it, the sex went on for a long time, when Rich finally came...he was in ecstasy as you may well imagine
Then Asia began to ask what he liked...he revealed he was a little kinky and that he had a few things to play with...Asia said she wasn't very experienced but wanted to try some new things.
Soon various ties were in place, massage oil was used, a little light spanking was done...it was a day of pleasure, there was one bad thing...he poured some chocolate sauce over her breasts and started to lick it off...again, not the best plan when hungover...the sugar was a little too much and he ended up having to rush to the bathroom to throw up...not his finest moment...

As it got later in the day and the evening started to come Asia needed to return to her flat, Rich walked her to the tram stop and they parted ways.

During the following week they would go for walks in the evening, Rich was an avid Pokemon Go player, Asia soon adopted this game and they would walk around the area hunting! As well as having nice talks and going for ice cream.
Asia then offered to help Rich learn some Polish and would give him some lists of words to learn...

Things were going really well, the following weekend it was Rich's turn to have a birthday...

[Bloxo]

The previous year Rich had hired out a floor of Bobby Burger (a local burger chain that also sells alcohol) and then had a flat party for his birthday...it turned into a bit of a rave...so this year he decided to play it a bit safer...
He would invite everyone to the river, where they could stay late and any stragglers later on could come to his place.
There is a quiet spot on the Vistula near a bar called Wild Beef which was perfect, people could take their drinks and then go to the bar for top ups.

It was a hot summer Saturday, perfect for the occasion...though the forecast had predicted some rain...which luckily didn't come to pass!

At this point, technically Rich and Asia hadn't told people at work about the two of them, but it had been discussed whether to...

People drifted to the party in a steady flow, there was a great turn out, people from the UK team and other groups came along...at the least there was a good 50 people there (the group photo from my Youtube intro was taken at this event).

Rich was darting around talking to different people throughout the event, StoLat was sung many times, his friend Artur even showed up with a guitar and started playing some music, some dancing began with Rich in the centre...he made a move and pulled Asia in to dance with him, the night progressed...Asia was pretty drunk at one point stumbling over a grassy embankment on the way to the bar.

At around 1am, the group decided to move back to Rich's flat, some 20 odd people came back and continued the evening, Jenga was brought out so some drinking games could continue.
Soon Rich and Asia were sat on the bed talking, and the others at the party began to drift away.
They kissed and cuddled that night and went to bed.

The following day Asia would spend the whole day at Rich's place, and that whole day was spent being intimate, Asia loved for Rich to pleasure her...she didn't seem able to get enough!

In the evening, they played strip Playstation, playing a Dragonball versus game that Rich won with just his boxers remaining, he loved her competitive Asia was, it was something that really drove his desire, he melted some ice on her naked body as a forfeit which she hadn't done before yet enjoyed.

All in all, it was safe to say it was Rich's best birthday to that date and he was very happy.

Him and Asia had a bit of a talk, she started saying that this couldn't be a full on relationship as she was trying to get a job in Science and may be moving out of Warsaw, she also said Rich had mumbled something about marriage the night before (which he didn't remember) and this definitely couldn't go that way.

Rich was a little sad to hear this, but he thought to himself that he would make the most of what he could, and you never know the situation may change as they got closer...at least that is what he secretly hoped for...

[Bloxo]

The next big event was a change of flat...Rich had to move his lodgings...his landlord was getting divorced and needed to reclaim the property for himself.
Rich looked at a few places in the same block, which his landlord helped him to find and went to a few viewings...
and guess what...he went for the biggest and most expensive place! In hindsight a bit over indulgent, but he liked to have friends round and wanted a place where he could have the space to do that and be accommodating to guests...

He rallied the troops, well some people from the office with the reward of Beer, so a few people helped him move his things from one office to another, the manager Damian, Grzegorz...someone who seemed nice, but Rich had a hard time trusting in the end...and of course Asia.

It took a few sorties back and forth and the job was done, everyone stayed for a drink afterwards, but then only Asia remained.

Her and Rich played on his Playstation classic, some fighting games...but sadly no bets this time.

They played some Chess, which Rich always won...much to Asia's frustration, they watched some Netflix together...and of course, a new flat has to be christened, so Asia and Rich made love that day.
They went to get some Pizza at a local Italian restaurant.

Rich felt very close to Asia, they enjoyed doing the same things, they could talk about interesting subjects...and she really seemed like an almost perfect girl for him...

Asia stayed over that night...the next day was..fun...

[Bloxo]

The day I got back to Poland from the UK...or maybe the day after...I lose track, the team organised to head out to the river to have some drinks.

Naturally being the socialite he was Rich couldn't say no, also Asia was going to be there and Rich wanted to see what would happen...

The night was fun, the team had a lot to drink and some good talks, Asia was behaving a bit more normally, though Rich was still trying to give her some space.
It was decided to go back to Rich's flat at the end of the night for a small after party, Asia actually decided to go back with them...Rich was surprised, they walked ahead of the group and talked a little, Rich kissed her when they got to the entrance of the flat, but Asia said not to do anything in front of the group.

People came back to the flat and had some drinks, Asia left a little earlier than the rest but agreed to see Rich the following day, the party continued a little later before the team headed home.

The following day Asia came over to Rich's flat, they talked a little, watched netflix and played some new games that Rich had purchased while at home...
Asia finally found a game she could consistently beat Rich at called Second Chances, which was a little bit like Tetris, she stated that you needed a certain type of intelligence to beat this game, though they didn't place any bets on it...even though Rich wanted to.

They kissed and cuddled on the sofa, but Asia stopped Rich from taking things further, saying she was on her Period.
They watched a movie and Rich would massage her back.

In the evening she went home, on the way to the tram stop she said that she thought Rich may have ADHD...as he kept touching her...he was a little taken aback by this and started to self analyse...

she was again distant and a little snappy in the office after this weekend, they walked a small amount after work, but that was the only real contact they had...

The next big event was a big work party organised by the managers...

[Bloxo]

We have reached mid-September by this point.

The air is still warm, the weather still holds up and as a celebration work is organising a big party down at the beach!

Okay, this is a beach by the river, part of Northern Warsaw passed the boulevard, it is rather secluded and near a closed beach bar.

Virtually the whole extended team is there, all the managers and departments make an attendance.

When Rich gets there he sees some people starting to build a fire in this large pit, gathering wood and making kindling, he pitches in and does some foraging for materials.

There is a big speech by the managers, thanking everyone for their hard work, there is a lot of alcohol provided, beers and spirits mostly.

Rich tries to talk to Asia, but she is a bit evasive, she hops around from person to person talking, Rich does follow her around a little like a helpless puppy admittedly a bit...

There is a group activity where everyone is split into teams and they need to make some artwork, getting the hint that Asia wants some space Rich joins a different team from her. Once this activity is complete the night continues...

Rich continues to try and find out what is happening with Asia...the two of them eventually walk off to a part of the beach to talk.

Asia reveals to Rich that she is still in love with an Ex-boyfriend, how he mistreated her and then slept with her best friend, she says she is not ready for a serious relationship, her friends tell her she needs therapy and she thinks she will be broken like this for a long time and tells Rich not to wait for her...

Rich is naturally heart broken about this, but to him at least this is some closure and explanation for what has been happening, holding her gently by the shoulders, he tells her that she understands and accepts what they are saying, he lets her go...he is upset, but what can he do? She had given her story and he has to accept that.

He goes to a couple of friends to talk, one friend Basia is also having a bad time, thinking of an ex of hers, Rich holds her in comfort.

The night gets blurry after this, the team end up gravitating from the beach to the nearby Wild Beef bar and continue drinking, Rich has some heart to heart conversations and invites people back to his flat at the end of the night to continue the evening...

Actually...it turns out a lot more happened this night than Rich was aware of...this would be revealed to him later...

Also, this was not the end of things between him and Asia...the worst is yet to come in this twisted story...

[Bloxo]

The morning after the party, Rich couldn't help but text Asia, saying that he missed her already, Asia responded kindly saying she wanted them to stay close and they could still play games together...naturally this gave Rich some hope of a future coupling...

In the office Rich gave Asia some distance, helped her with her work when needed, but she mainly asked other people for help at this point.

He didn't text her again, not wanting to make things more complicated.

The two of them didn't really talk, but I think this was natural, they needed some space to heal, Rich was worried about Asia...with all that she had said he knew that she was suffering inside, but he also knew that he couldn't do anything about it, he did his best to be professional in the office and to make her life easier by ensuring the team's transition was being managed well, so essentially he put his head down and focused on work.

At this point he wasn't grieving the relationship too much, he accepted how things had gone...and wanted his best to make sure that life got back to some normality at least...

The following month...well it would be eventful, Azaz, one of the team in India was being flown over to help do some specialist training to one of the teams on a rather tricky process they had to adopt...Rich and Azaz were close, they had worked together for many years, had each others backs and were more friends than colleagues, he was looking forward to the visit and put together an activity plan so that when Azaz was over in Warsaw he would have a good tour of the city and plenty of things to make his stay a great one!

What Rich didn't know at this point...is that Azaz's visit wouldn't be the only thing that would be a source of activity and great drama was about to follow...

[Bloxo]

On the last Friday of September it was a work day just as any other.

Rich was working late, on a call with Azaz just past 5pm, Damian tapped him on the shoulder and asked to speak to him. Rich confirmed he had a few things to iron out on the call and he would come and find him, not quite sure what was going on he was curious...but he had his priorities.

Once the call finished he was summoned into an office with Damian and Alicja, the two senior managers of the department, Rich knew he hadn't done anything wrong so wasn't concerned, but he felt something had happened...

They revealed to him that the supervisor Weronika had been fired...this was something very rare in the company...
They explained that she had been taken sick leave without getting Doctor's notes repeatedly and had received several warnings about this before, Rich was a little shocked...but he was not upset, numerous times he had to cover her work because she didn't finish things, she spent more time getting close with the team than doing the admin side of the work.

Rich would also later learn, that on the night of the last party that she had been inappropriate with one of the team members, this Lesbian in the group Paulina (There are a few Paulina's in the team haha), she had become possessive and tried to make out with her...when she was rejected it turned into a fight and the managers had to step in...

It also turned out that Weronika was on some medication, which was most likely some kind of anti-psychotic and when mixed with alcohol she would do some crazy things, recently she had text the team on Messenger to arrange a night out which never happened for example, and she was being very flirty with a few girls in the team.

She had been asked to leave quietly, it was a deal struck so she would still get a reference.
In fact, the whole reason she was given this posting was due to some behaviours in her previous team, and HR wanted to give her a second chance, Alicja had agreed to take her on...

She met with the team that night in a bar, Rich decided not to go...he did not feel appropriate seeing her and getting involved, it would later transpire that she was accusing managers...including Rich of plotting against the team, laughing at them when they made mistakes and planning to fire other people...none of this was true I will add...

Over the weekend Rich was having a quiet one at home, most likely watching netflix and playing games...on the Sunday night he was surprised to get a text from Asia recommending some crime series on Netflix, he thanked her for the message and started to watch this show...he didn't want to act over-excited at this point, it was just a friendly thing to do and he didn't want to read into things, especially after what she had said about her situation.

The following day, Asia discovered that she had received a pay rise and permanent contract.
At one point her and Rich were outside when he was having a smoke, he congratulated her on her news and they hugged.

He also gave her condolences about the Weronika situation, he knew they were a little close, she was not overly concerned but surprised by what had happened, just as the rest of the team were.

Rich had also confided with Asia in Wroclaw that he had some concerns about Weronika, Asia had asked him not to approach management about this...he reassured her that he had not spoken to them, which was true and that he had kept his word on this particular conversation they had had.

[Bloxo]

As previously stated, Rich and Azaz had worked closely from afar for many years, they helped each other, they would have small chats when time permitted and had a bit of a friendship going.

When Azaz flew in, he briefly popped to the office on the Monday afternoon.
After work he was to join Rich in his flat, the two set off from the office and went to the Auchan opposite.
As they were on their way to the flat Asia appeared and tried to talk, but Rich wasn't clear on what she wanted to say...she left and then he and Azaz went back to his place.
Azaz may have been a few years younger than Rich but he could give some sagely advice, about career, about life and about Women.
This encounter was focused around good conversation and catching up properly.
Now Azaz was Muslim which meant that he didn't drink alcohol, but he didn't judge others for it, he also didn't eat pork...so two things Poland is renowned for gave him some obstacles, but he got by just fine.

After Azaz left Rich had a text from Asia...she was asking him to install a game on his phone that was similar to the one that she had repeatedly beat him at before, they played and chatted a little...she won a lot, but Rich enjoyed a challenge!

The next day was Azaz's first day in the office, he settled in well and the team were very friendly towards him, they had been talking with him on calls for a few months now, so were familiar and they were curious.
Rich and him shared a lot of meetings with managers about how Azaz would plan his activities, so Rich was away a lot from the desk.

In the evening, Rich had organised a walk down to old town, a few members of the team joined, Magda the other expert in the team, Paulina a young and rather fiesty blonde...who while very attractive and high spirited was also in a long term relationship, so out of bounds haha...also on the walk Asia joined...

At first they all walked as a group, and the girls were telling Azaz about Poland and he was sharing things about India, but not too long into the walk Asia and Rich were walking ahead of the others.
The two talked for the duration of the walk, it was a very friendly chat.

Eventually the group got to a Polish restaurant on one of the main streets near the centre, they sat outside and enjoyed some Mulled wine with Rum as well as some delicacies like Pierogi.
When Asia couldn't finish her food she would feed some to Rich, the two of them were sat opposite from each other...and she was making clear efforts to engage.

At the end of the evening when she left, she and Rich had a big hug and she later text him to say she had enjoyed talking with him again...naturally this made Rich feel quite excited about the prospect the two would get back together...

He walked Azaz back to his hotel and called it a night...

[Bloxo]

Kasia has organised a trip to the mountains in the south, she is to drive us down there, we will stay at an Air BnB the first night and in a mountain lodge on the second, this will be a long hike with a lot of uphill walking, prior to the trip Asia and Kasia tease Rich that he may not make it to the top because of his smoking...and perceived poor fitness, in preparation he takes the stairs at work instead of the elevator, they work on the third floor...so this isn't too bad, but will hopefully help him.
Kasia herself is a slightly older, but lovely member of the team, she has mid length blonde hair, had an athletic figure and wears glasses, she is quite wise I would say and a lovely person!

Prior to this trip, Rich's friend basia lends him a book called 'The subtle art of not giving a Fuck' which is a self help book, she sees how Richard is struggling over the situation with Asia and wants to help snap him out of it.

The day of the trip Kasia parks up by the office to pick people up, Asia is picked up on the way from her flat, Rich arrives promptly at the agreed time, Azaz is late...as per usual, they stuff their backpacks into the boot of the car.

The trip is quite long, some 5 hours or so by car.
In the car Rich is mainly reading the book he is given, there is some light conversation...Asia is reluctant to address Rich directly, her and Kasia are in the front, while Azaz and Rich are in the back.

The views are mainly of the Polish countryside, and it is a very smooth journey, quiet roads on a well maintained and newer highway.
As the group nears their destination there are some fantastic mountain views out of the car window, before heading to the accommodation Kasia takes them to this Polish bar, they ear Polish food, mainly meat and Potato dishes and some soups, in the bar there is a room where people are dancing to Polish music.
The conversation is fairly calm at the table, but Asia does her best to not even look at Rich, let alone respond to him, although he tries to maintain the peace without being too intrusive.
After this, the group get to their accommodation, Kasia and Asia have one room while Azaz and Rich have another. They soon go to sleep after the long journey and filling meal.

The following day they all get up early, around 6am to head to the mountains.
They make a stop to take some pictures on the way at a rather scenic area, with a gorgeous backdrop of the mountains and the rising sun.

They get to the car park, unload their gear and prepare.

There is a fairly long walk, uphill but not too steep along some stone roads making their way up the mountain.
Rich takes point, Azaz and Kasia in the middle and Asia behind them,
Rich feels given the situation he needs to give Asia as much space as possible.

They reach a track which leads them to the lodge so they can deposit their backpacks.
The track is rather steep heading down and is very rocky in build, Rich gracefully hops down trying to keep up with Asia who moves down with ease.

They reach the lodge, leave their backpacks in a cupboard, grab a quick bite to eat and take a breather before heading back out.

They then proceed back up the track to the main path, once they get there they have the long walk to the top, along this path are some shortcuts which allow them to skip large sections of the path but taking some steeper stairs, the group takes all of these.
The weaklink in this is Azaz, who is the least fittest in the group, but he pushes forward.
After a couple of hours they reach Morskie Orku, this is a large lake and the main place where people travel too on this trail.
By the lake is a lodge, Rich and Kasia take some beers, sit on a bench and look out to the lake.
Azaz and Asia talk over on the next bench.

At one point, when Kasia and Azaz are inside, Rich goes over to Asia to talk...or try to at least.
He asks if he is upset with him for some reasons, saying the way she is reacting to him makes him feel she is angry with him.
She says she isn't and she likes to be quiet and focus on the trail when she is in the mountains, that she believes in keeping a structured walk, with the strongest lead and fall behind to look after the others in the centre...
Rich isn't convinced by what she is saying but doesn't challenge it.

The next stage of the journey is to continue up to another lake near the summit...now this particular path is very steep and very rocky, quite a dramatic change to the path they have taken up until now.

The group moves slowly, often having to stop to rest legs and catch breath, Azaz in particular needing breaks but still pushing forward.
It is a hard and arduous journey but eventually the group make it to the top, they pass a large cross and end up at the second lake, this gives them an amazing view of the valley and lake below.

They take a number of pictures together, though Asia breaks from the group for a while to do her own thing.
They stay at the top for maybe 30 minutes admiring the view and taking a break to have some drinks and some snacks.

Next they make the decent back down, along the way Asia leads the group, moving quickly down the rocks, Rich does his best to keep up with her and when things are more stable to talk.

He tries to engage in conversation, they talk about her Spanish and he quizzes her on a few words, but the conversation is very one sided, he feels she doesn't want to talk with him, but he tries to use this opportunity to do so.

As they go down, there is a brief point where a deer can be spotted in the woodland off the path, the group stops to watch, Asia in particular is excited to see this. After some time they make it back to the lodge...

As previously stated...Rich was a broken man, his friends and family could see this, some of them would listen and give him bits and pieces of advice, others gave him some videos to watch on Youtube that would hopefully help him...

This then became an obsession of Rich's, for the following months he would be glued to Youtube.

At the start, he got obsessed with videos on how to win an Ex back...still holding on to some futile hope that he could rekindle things with Asia, he still wasn't eating...and on top of that he started to exercise and lost several inches from his waist...so much so that he had to buy an entirely new wardrobe, none of his clothes fitted anymore, he went to the gym, he did exercises at home, he even started running at some point, he was obsessed with bettering himself.
He used Darek as an example, he thought that if he looked more attractive and was healthier that Asia would regain interest.

But not only these videos he watched, he expanded from this point of winning back to an ex to look at how to behave with women in general...he looked back on his failures with past conquests and was amazed to see he had everything backwards when it came to women...step by step he could see every mistake he had made, it was eye opening...he couldn't believe how uneducated he was on the subject...

Finally, the topic of his search shifted to trying to understand Asia's behaviour over the course of the time he had known her...it took him a while, but eventually he faced facts...
After watching several psychologists talking about abnormal psychology, he not only knew what Asia was but also what he himself was...

I'm not giving specific timeframes here, this took months of research, watching hundreds of videos and also reading some books about psychology...his eyes were opened to a massive series of realisations!

He even understood some traumatic relationships he had gone through in the past, it was scary how much more he knew now...how much he understood, his world changed...

But before I share his findings with you, I want to tell you more of his past and his life in the UK...

[Bloxo]

The year is 2011, Rich is living in Oxford with his family. He has a small network of friends, goes to pub quizzes each week and is pretty much leading a dull life, he is on a few dating sites, Plenty of Fish and Match.Com being the main ones.

He would go on the odd date here and there, but ultimately was not very successful with women, he did find a play partner who he was with for a few months...but is was complicated, she had a main boyfriend and Rich...well he never saw a future with this girl because of that, eventually they drifted apart.

He was out with friends one evening, looking on his phone...he messaged this girl Claire on Match.com...bizarrely she seemed to message him at the same time, their messages were both little introductions...it seemed fated, and such a crazy coincidence that they would both send these messages almost simultaneously...

They met up and seemed to get on, Rich happily bought her drinks, she was an attractive blonde with medium length hair and a rather slim figure, she had an amazing arse!

However things seemed to go bad fairly early on...for one thing, Rich couldn't eat in front of her, he had this very bad feeling in his gut, then she revealed she had tried to kill an ex-boyfriend, that was a good tell for what would happen...

She would get drunk and would yell at him, even becoming physically abusive, he felt controlled by her, but he didn't try to end things...

One night she destroyed a calendar in his room that featured Megan Fox, she was angry that he would own something like this, she ripped it to shreds.

However, when they finally did sleep together, she was amazing in bed, using her hands alone she could make him cum in moments...something no other girl had been that successful with...and God that ass...it was like a sculptors work of art!

There came a time for him to introduce her to some friends, he took her to a beer festival with a few, she seemed to get along with them...but afterwards began telling Rich who they could and couldn't hang out with...now Rich wasn't about to abandon any friends of his, but he humoured her on this point, hoping things would change.

Another meeting with friends took place, this time it was at his Friend Andy's house, the night started well, they played games and got along, Rich would sneak outside to have a smoke with his friend Stewart...and they were smoking more than just cigarettes Rich was in fact quite a weed smoker back then, something he hid from his family and from Claire.

However some other stuff happened that night, it turned out that while Rich was outside Claire started insulting Andy's house, who he lived in with his wife Dawn.

Not only that, but Claire was quite dismissive to his friend Stewart.

Rich knew, that if he kept this girl in his life...he would lose his friends, already he was afraid of her temper...but now she had the capacity to isolate him.

The next day they met for a walk, she was scouting out a new house to move to, at the end of the date he ended things.

He gave her a speech about how she didn't seem to like him, hated all of his interests, and how she was rude to his friends and how they couldn't be together...

They never spoke again...

You may ask, well that's as bad as things could get right?
Sadly you would be wrong...a few months later Rich would meet a girl called Laura

[Bloxo]

Actually I think this began in 2012...it can be hard to keep track of the years!

This relationship was one of most disastrous things to happen to Rich...at least so far in his life...things can always get worse haha!

He met this girl Laura on a dating site called plenty of fish, she had a rather mysterious profile that he was drawn to.
They met at a bar in Oxford called the Pen and Wig, moving on to one or two other bars that night, they got on well, they both loved DC and Marvel, Batman in particular. The two of them seemed to really hit it off that night.

However, on the bus home after the date he received the same text he was used to seeing, that she had enjoyed the evening but didn't feel any spark there.
Rich was not new to this message and responded that he understood, but thought it was a shame as he thought they got on well and had a lot in common, she ended up texting back...and they decided to meet again.

Now I don't remember the exact details of how things unfolded after this date for date...but I can comment on the following:

- Laura was very insecure, she didn't like the way she looked, she didn't think she was very smart and she said she had a bad history of men who had abused her, she was pretty quiet and shy in the beginning.

Rich kind of felt bad for her, he wanted to help her to grow and to gain confidence, to mature into a woman and to feel happy inside.

He helped her in every way he could, he would buy her gifts such as flowers to make her feel appreciated, he leant her money to pay off some debt she had with a loan company, he would drive her around to places for dates.
He spent hours on the phone talking with her each night and would see her every weekend.
At the start, the relationship was actually quite a good one and Rich was happy, he introduced her to his friends and she made an effort to get to know them and fit in, they liked her, she was quirky and funny and had a good spirit.

Rich and her also became very sexual...wow...that girl couldn't get enough, she wanted sex every time we met up, she let me dress her up in lingerie and some tight fitting leather effect clothing, she would go with me to this sex shop I knew and we would buy toys together.
She even let me gunge her once, I bought her this tight white outfit, I then poured pink gunge over her and we had sex afterwards, she didn't really enjoy this, but she wanted to know what I liked sexually and to do some experimentation...
She liked to be pinned down, to be spanked, for me to cum over her...in bed she was a revelation and she also enjoyed taking pictures of herself when she was at home to send to me.
She very much desired herself to be seen in a sexual light and for me to long for her in this regard.

At this point, you may be saying, what's the problem? This sounds amazing! Well, this is most likely what I was thinking at this point...oh boy how things changed!...
