On a cloudy day in the month of August I decided that it is time to head out to the west. Living on the East Coast all my life I was ready to see something new. Now who did I know out west. There was Carmen but she lived in Barstow. Yuck who wants to see the desert? Than it struck me I always wanted to meet Tony. He lived in LA now that would be a great place to visit. I could check out the beach there and actually say, "yes" I have seen the Pacific Ocean. Swing by OJ's house and Nicole's apartment and checkout where the SOB got away with murder, but maybe just maybe I will lounge around the Hotel, meet up with Armand and get to know him as well as I know him from the phone and the computer. It always intrigued me when we talked how he looks like. Well I made plans to go visit him. I send him an email making sure that he is cool with that idea and then off to book a hotel and airline tickets.
Tony send me an email back and told me that I better not dare to book a Hotel that I could stay with him if I wanted to. Now I couldn't say "no" to that. That would save me about 200 bucks so I replied and told him that I would love to stay with him. At least I could cook for him since he let me stay. After all Hagen Daaz Ice Cream wouldn't be food enough.
So my day of departure came and I was happy to say that I needed this vacation. I haven't been out of the state of Georgia in years. When I got to LAX, I was a nervous wreck. I had no idea of what he looked like only had that mental image of his description. As I walked out of the terminal, I could see him standing there with a rose in hand, it had to be him because it fit his description perfectly and he smiled when he saw me, so it was a dead give away. We dropped off the luggage at his place and I freshened up. Then it was time to hit the town. I was excited couldn't wait to see some of LA.
We went to dinner and I made him promise to take me to the store so I can get my ingredients for dinner the next day. After dinner we went to the store and got a few things for the next day. It was getting late so we went back to the house. He put the groceries away while I went to change into something more comfortable.
