I am constantly amazed at the weird and wonderful twists and turns in this adventure we call life...
A few short weeks ago I was invited to go out to the comedy club in the Harbor. What was supposed to have happened was: I was going to meet my 2 girl friends one of their new beaus, along with my X and his friend at the Comedy Club.
My X was going to drop off our son at the bowling alley, then pick up his friend then meet us at Comedy. I got a call from my son that he was going to need me to take him and his friends. Not a problem. Then I get a call from the X asking if I can pick up his friend, because he's on my way to the Club. OK sure fine not a problem. Okay so now I've dropped off my son, picked up the X's friend and am at the Harbor. I find out that only one of my girlfriends is going to make it. I'm still holding out hope that my X is going to show up, but never does. So here I am with this guy, and my girlfriend and her new beau. Awkward! Comedy was hilarious! Enjoyed myself completely.
So Comedy is over, my friend and her new beau have other plans, and I still have to wait around another 2 hours to go pick up my son. I ask the guy if he wants to go look for a good spot to hang out at on Main St. til it's time to pick up my son. He agrees, we take off to Main St.
We were walking down Main St. when I hear this woman singing in this little hole in the wall place. I wanted to go in. Something about her voice called me. I was absolutely drawn to that place. He wanted me to show him where I usually hung out. So we walked a few blocks more then turned around and started heading back. I wasn't taking no for an answer this time, we were going to go inside and listen to that woman sing. So we went inside. There was no open tables, so I asked this gorgeous Latino sitting alone at the only table with 2 open seats if we could sit in the 2 extra chairs he had at his table. He graciously allowed us to sit at his table. To my dismay, the song she was singing, 'At last' was her last song of the evening. I was a bit upset, so I asked the guy to find out when she would be singing here again. He got up and went to get the info I requested. In the mean time, I am drooling over this Latino's luscious lips. I started up a conversation with him. He was busy texting. He finally gave me his full attention and wanted to know if the guy I was with was my husband or boyfriend. Neither, I answered, and we continued our conversation about what we each did for a living. He asked me if I preferred black men. I had to let him know that I had never dated a black guy, that I was attracted to Latinos. The guy comes back, I send him for a drink. We continue our conversation. He asked me if I knew exactly what it was that I was attracted to in Latino men. Then he started talking to me in Spanish, I hadn't even noticed that the guy had come back. He asked me to get him a quote and gave me his phone number. I put his number in my phone and called him so that he'd have mine as well.
He said his good-byes and told me what a pleasure it was to meet me. Gave me that 2 handed handshake that men do when they just want to touch as much of you as they can get away with... And he was gone.
The guy turned to me and said how incredibly rude it was for us to be speaking Spanish just to exclude him from the conversation. I assured him that was not the intention. He assured me that it most certainly was the gentleman's intention if not mine. He proceeded to politely tell me that it was rude for his date to be flirting with other men right in front of his face... Excuse me? Your date??? He then let me know that my X had set me up with him. He was not going to accept that I didn't know. But I didn't. Then my son, who by the way, has impeccable timing, called to let me know it was time to go pick him up... Yeah! Okay buddy think what you want, but I've gotta go drop you off so I can pick up my son and his friends. Later!
I didn't hold out much hope that the Latino with the Luscious lips would call me. If I wanted to start something I would probably have to really get him a quote on Monday... To my surprise, by the time the guy and I had reached my car, Lips had already text me. He had said what a pleasure it was to have met me, and that he would very much like to see me again for a cup of coffee or a drink or just anything and he said he hoped I had an enjoyable evening. WOW!
To be continued....
