She still hadn’t called and I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I decided to see her at the shop where we first met. Making my way there I went over in my mind what I would say.
I paced back and forth mustering the courage to enter. I opened the door, the small bell announced my arrival, stepping inside I saw her.
She was, reading a novel, her cute little glasses perched on her delicate nose. She looked over her novel noticing me standing there.
She put her book down saying, “Oh no here comes trouble.”
I said, “You didn’t call and …”
She replied, “I know, I’m still sore from the last time. Are you here to ravish me again?”
I said, “No, uh … I’m here to see you …”
She retorted, “You’ve already seen all there is to see of little ol’ me.”
She wasn’t going to make this easy, “No, I’m here to SEE you as in DATE you! I thought we could go out and do something.”
She took her glasses off, her soft lips formed an ‘O’ as she said, “Ooooh I see. Ok that sounds good.” I waited until her shift ended then we were off.
First we went to dinner, she told me she was a Vegan for ethical and health reasons. I opted for the veggie platter that evening out of respect for her and because I didn’t want to gross her out.
I listened to her talk passionately about her life. She was going to night school and had a generous amount of ambition and kindness to match. I found her totally enchanting and full of little surprises.
Then we went to the movies. I surprised her by asking her to pick the movie out. She said, “You’re really trying to score points aren’t you? Let me guess so you can score latter right?”
I said, “No I don’t really care what we do as long as we do it together. I like your company. I want you to pick the movie ‘cause I’ll be happy seeing anything as long as I’m seeing it with you.”
She thought for a brief moment, her bullshit detector didn’t register any deception, so she flashed me a brilliant smile and picked out a nice art house chick flick. It was alright, I learned a lot about mother daughter relationships that evening – which I guess was good.
The evening was drawing to a close and I found myself at the door to her place. I told her I had a great evening and wanted to see her again and soon.
She looked up at me with those green/blue eyes, “Would you like to come in?”
I nodded yes.
We embraced tightly her mouth delicately kissing my lips. I ran my hands through her hair feeling it’s silky smoothness and smelling it’s fragrance. I loved the way she smelled and felt.
