for the fans

so last night...
good S and I had been emailing via Facebook yesterday afternoon. he took me up on my drink offer (you knew he would) and i eventually gave him my number as i'm pretty sure it changed from when i last saw him. he said he would call me that night. hmm. that was quick!
i went home and made my bland boring dinner of mashed potatoes, veggie medley and chicken (i really have to give props to my mom. i took her delicious daily meals for granted). i played on the computer some and around 7:00pm got a call from good S.
we chatted for a couple of minutes...when i asked him what he was up to that evening he said he was headed to the highlands to play trivia at moe's and joe's. oh reeeeeeeeeeeally?
well of course you know who lives in the highlands, within walking distance of moe's and joe's? THIS GIRL. however, once i said that to him and he invited me along, i instantly regretted it because i have been on a roll with working out and really wanted to go to the gym. you know how it is. once you are out, you're out - you're not going to the gym. no chance! but, clearly delusional, i didn't bother taking off my workout clothes before heading out the door - thinking i'd go to the gym after moe's and joe's (that makes me laugh now). so i walk down to the street to meet good S and three of his buddies.
i've never been in moe's and joe's. that place is a shithole. and i mean that in the nicest way possible. we were pretty decent at trivia and thank god we had that because the conversation was a little strained/awkward/weird in the beginning.....it took a few beers to loosen us up. but things got loose and around midnight, i remembered i was a 30-year old with a job i had to be at by 9am, so i got up to leave. this is when good S asked me if he could walk me home. um, yeah!
so we walk the 3 or 4 blocks to my house and when we come up to the building, neither of us knew how to end the night. GUH! we are so middle school. we hug and we have that moment when you think "are we going to kiss? is he going to lean in? what do i do?". he solved the dilemma for us and landed one on me. it was really nice. so we stood there, outside on North Highland and kissed for a few minutes when he pulled away long enough to ask me if he could come up.
if this were old me, i would have said, "let's go", but i've learned you shouldn't play all your cards within the first couple of hours. so i said no, but i was looking forward to the next meeting and left him on the street. he called me when he got home around 1am. he said he'd call today.
perhaps because i've met my fair share of AWFUL men, i don't expect anything from this, but good S is a good guy, so i think he will call.
stay tuned.
