No words to describe
Pleasant surprise, nerve-racking and extremely enjoyable can't even begin to describe the night I had last night. Lets just say it was amazing, everything I was hoping for, and scared to death about, and more. It's a long story, so here we go.
At about 8 pm last night I was downstairs, with the dog on the couch with me, surfing the net for something. I hear my cell phone go off in my room and I make a mad dash up the stairs to answer it, but I didn't get it in time. I check to see who the missed call was from and it was from Elena. So naturally I was pissed I missed the call, especially because I wasn't expecting to talk to here tonight for some odd reason or another.
Anyway, so I wait for the voicemail thing to pop up on my phone, and in the meantime I went into my older brother's Randy room to play with his new Dell, 15.4 inch widescreen laptop. (Which is very nice by the way, but its no Apple PowerBook). So the phone line that he and I share rings and it's Elena. We talk for a few minutes and then she asks me what I'm doing tonight (last night). I said I wasn't doing anything and she asked me if I wanted to hang out, like grab a cup of coffee or something. I was stunned and shocked, and scared to death. After sounding like a blithering idiot for a few minutes I said sure, why the hell not. I told myself I gotta meet this girl sometime, might as well be sooner than later.
So we agree to meet at my favorite restaurant of all time, Vincent's Clam Bar, which unfortunately is located in the mall, but thats an entirely different story. So I get there before her, at about 8:35 pm, and I'm looking around and it turns out that the restaurant closes at like 9 pm, so that was out. Elena showed up at about 8:50 or so. We met outside the restaurant and I told her about it closing, so instead we decided to go to John Harvards, a little micro-brewery/restaurant right around the corner. But before we left we hugged, which was really nice, since she smelled soooooooo good. I love it when women smell all fruity and flowery, it drives me crazy.
We shared a really nice meal, and she even tried to pay for us, but I wasn't having it, she even tried to just pay her half, but I told her that her money was no good. So dinner was good, and instead of getting dessert at the restaurant we went to Starbucks, even though neither of us really like Starbucks coffee. I just didn't know of any other coffee places, and a diner just wasn't cool, you know? Unfortunately Starbucks was set to close at 11 pm, about 15 minutes after we got there.
After Starbucks kicked us out we just sat in her car and talked for over an hour. My older brother called me on my cell phone saying to get my ass home because my dog was unruly. How he could still be awake after midnight was beyond me, but obviously he was doing something wrong. So at about 12:30 or so we finally said goodbye and sealed it all with a few kisses, which I'm still amazed I had to guts to go for. I figured might as well do it and get it over with to avoid further awkwardness and weird waiting and anticipation further down the road.
And damn was it good. I won't go into details, because I don't like to kiss and tell, but it was really, really, really, really, really nice. I can't wait until we go out again on Friday!
Now I need to take a nap because I didn't get home until about 1 in the morning and really wasn't able to get to sleep until way past 2. I was just way too excited!
