three strikes?

so i know i told the marine not to use his money to call me because its so expensive, and since we had each other's emails it would be easier for him to contact me that way. but what i was really thinking was...please call me anytime you want to! ive gotten a few emails from him, which is so great, its always a pleasant surprise-but i miss the phone calls. but i cant be bummed because i told him not to call. however...

the other night i was laying in bed and heard my phone ringing in the other room. it was like slow motion. i got to my phone, saw that it was him and as im opening it to answer, the screen blares: call ended. DAMMIT! i was so excited then so disappointed that i missed it. so then i thought-i'll just always carry my phone with me. wrong. work rules: no cell phone while punched it. and guess what? he called TWICE while i was at work the other day. i sent him an apologetic email after the first call asking him to call again because i was really looking forward to hearing from him. well after calling back twice and me not answering, what is he going to think? three strikes im out and hes not trying back again? cause i would love to hear his voice again. all i can say is my phone has become a permanent appendage to my body within the last few days.
