LOVE, LIES, AND A GEMINI

In 2018..if I remember correctly is when we met. A random Instagram dm and the rest was history.

If my memory serves me, he pulled a “you do music” move on me and of course me being 24 and still naïve to conversations that celebrities and artists have with one another..I thought he was actually interested in working with me.

By 24 I had written for a few artists, got a few placements and just started making my own music. I was nervous about my sound, self conscious about my tone and still taking vocal lessons. I was no where near the success level Mr.Gemini was when we met.

At first glance, first thought on my mind was “definitely just friends, he is not my type at all”. He was basically the same height as me, as pale as me and had a face so unique I couldn’t stop staring at him. So different. But he was extremely confident to the point where he didn’t care if someone found him attractive or not. Younger than me by a few years but I didn’t think he acted his age at first. Of course however, he’s a Gemini with multiple sides to him.

I still to this day believe he did voodoo or put a spell on me because it only took maybe 1 day before we were holding hands, kissing and he was constantly flirting with me. In my mind, I was confused because I couldn’t even remember how I got to the studio that day. At this time though I was a 24/7 stoner so I can’t put all the blame on him but I will never figure out how I even grew attracted to him.

It was scary and so strange for me.

We actually did write multiple songs together, that of course would never see the light of day because he is indeed a liar. However, I don’t regret meeting or befriending him because I now consider Gemini’s to be my favorite zodiac signs.

Fun, exciting, spontaneous, sneaky, hilarious..I know they get a bad rep but as a Sagittarius they are my sister sign so I feel so close and relatable to them. They are misunderstood just like Sagittarius.

His lying ways started as soon as I met him even though I didn’t know that yet. He went from liking to loving me in a matter of a month.

We went from spending every day together to him ghosting me for weeks at a time.

He went from “she’s just an artist Im helping out” to very publicly dating someone while still claiming to be in love with me. Hilarious now but at the time very upsetting and confusing to me.

I haven’t been in many serious relationship in life, and even though we weren’t in one, he would act like we were and it confused the fuck out of me.

I would almost beg for one of our songs to come out, he would say things like “yea we gotta do a video for it”, or “we need to fix the vocals”..but every conversation would turn into him asking to see me, with the “songs” being a forgotten topic.

Im at fault in this too. I’ve only been in love twice in life and neither time was with him. If he said “I love you”, I’d say it back. Toxic? Probably. But I get nervous when I lie so I’ll say anything to change the subject. Im working on that. Im sure he can tell by now that my “love” isn’t romantic but moreso “I have love for you”.

Once Gemini and his partner became public and there was some mess involving me behind it, I left him alone..for YEARS! Im not the type of woman you can play with or embarrass. Especially if it isn’t even the truth that’s being told. I take pride in claiming truth.

Fast forward to a month before my 30th birthday. I forget how but boom, we’re back in contact. It’s all smiles and giggles but by this time, I was a completely different woman than who he met years ago.

The main thing on my mind? Money.

Does he have it? Lots.

Once he could tell I was bored of catching up, he said “how can I show you I want to be serious with you and that I love you?”.

In my mind, an evil laugh meme was playing on repeat. My response? “You’ll figure something out”. He said he asked his financial advisor an amount of $ that might “impress his ex”. Mind you, we were never together.

After a few minutes, he sends me a text saying he’s sending me $15,000.

Yes, that did impress me.

When the money cleared in my account, something in me was actually excited to see him, chill and catch up again. I actually wanted to entertain his lies for once.

Did we meet and catch up? No.

After he sent me $15,000 did he ghost me?

Yes.

Was I mad? Lowkey.

Then, maybe a month later, after I blocked his number of course, I get a text from a friend of his along with an apple pay of $5,000.

“Unblock Gemini”.

I did of course, asking aggressively “wtf do you want?”..and just like routine, same ol’ stuff. I miss you, im sorry, I want to be serious, bla bla. Yeah, by this time, I was solely in it for the gains because I knew him and can read him like a book. A gemini, a flip flopping ghoster.

Funny, exciting and crazy as hell but as soon as they’re bored of you, they’re gone and have found something newer and more exciting.

Maybe a week later, he pops up online with his on and off again partner and here I am, with this money but also, with his lies. Pissed but not too pissed.

Why? Because there’s been at least 3 times in the past year that I’ve blocked his number and he’s PAID for it to be unblocked. Can’t stay mad when life’s ‘lifing’ like that.

By now? Completely dissociated. Can’t feel a thing for him. Can we be friends? Absolutely. Great friends. Amazing friends, to me.

The laughs, the gossip, the tea we spill together, the fun random side quests we go on, the traveling, the spilling out our hearts and never judging. I can’t do anything but absolutely LOVE being a friend of his.

But at what cost?

2025, we haven’t spoken in months now. And if I’m being frank, we probably wont ever again. Im fine with it too. It’s a bit much, mentally. And even with the money sometimes, it still feels empty.

To some people, lying about love and ignoring disrespect would be easy if it meant spending time with a famous artist and having some pocket change every so often.

Me? I’d rather have a real life friendship I could COUNT on and rely on. Those are more valuable.

Now, Mr.Gemini is caring, loving, heartfelt, funny, cute and definitely would ride at dawn for someone he loves. Does he ever really love them though? Questionable.

Do I think he cares for me?! In ways. Would he clear up a lie or a rumor for me? Never.

So, you tell me if thats someone I should keep in my life. Maybe I’m overthinking. I doubt it.

But, forever, Gemini is my favorite sign.. me and them will ALWAYS have a blast together.
