Not the night I planned !!!
'Hi ! I’m Noah by the way.'
'I’ve no clue why I'm sitting here at the bar with only a club soda with a dash of lime for back up . Talking to you a total stranger. Which I have to admit is something totally out of character for me . You wouldn’t believe how hard I’m trying to contain my excitement.
'I apologies for my sarcasm … it’s been one of those evenings'...
'Start from the beginning, ya sure ? Ok then if you insist '….
'To say my arm had been twisted into leaving my warm snug, yeap... I used the word 'snug' what of it .. Hey give me a break , What can I say I’m a geek ... Hey it’s not that funny ..You can stop laughing any time Ya know' .
'As I was saying.... To say my arm had been twisted into leaving my warm 'SNUG' apartment tonight is such an understatement, my friend Gabe... my best friend mind you, turned up on my door step a little over two hours ago dressed to the nines waving two V.I.P passes enthusiastically in my face, gushing wildly about the new club down town that was opening this evening , and he just had to go and he needed.. Yeap… How did you guess , me to go with him . Like now!'
'Without me his social life would be buried deep down in some antisocial grave where only the unsocial elite dare to tread' .
'What was a guy to do ? You tell me! what would you have done?'
~~*~~*~~
'This was not the Friday night I’d planned out in my head , while making my way home from work'
'If you knew me well you would know that I plan everything … And deviating from those plans would not bode well'.
' All I wanted to do was order junk food , curl up on my old faithful recliner, which is by the way , right smack bang in front of what I like to call my entertainment system, but which in truth consisted of a 50 inch flat screen along with my pride and joy my infamous DVD collection'.
'Which by the way are all in alphabetical order and categorized by genre.. Don’t arch your eyebrow at me I told I’m a card carrying geek' ...
'The first part of ‘Operation please myself ’ had gone to plan . I’d gotten off work early arriving home around a quarter after six, which happens to be a very rare occurrence in my world '.
'Before jumping in the shower I had placed an order for that staple diet everyone needs for a classic film night marathon … shall I give you a clue ? Fortune and cookie come to mind ... Yeap you guessed it... Chinese food!.
'Without my regular intake of Sweet and sour pork balls, I just don’t function to good... Why are you laughing pork ball are amazing '...
'This was as always order from my favorite take out joint . I'm nothing if not consistent'.
'I never forget to praise the gods of takeout food for that wonderful system they had invented the one we all know and love….. You guessed correct again, Home delivery'
'Ha ha me too have there number on speed dial ' .
'Once Showered I grabbed for my favorite pair of sweat pants, the ones I always wore just for a night like tonight, you know the ones, the ones you had for ever, that fit in all the right places, with the added bonus of their own ventilation system... that would be the holes that hung out in Butt and knees to you and me'.
'Can I clarify just a little bit more on this point' …..?
'Ya know, Sweats that everyone owns but is too ashamed to admit owning, sweats that are just too familiar and comfortable to throw away... Sweats that give us that warm fuzzy feeling when we put them on ...But please! Don’t ask me to admit to any thing warm and fuzzy because lets set things straight from the off I don’t do feelings well I do , but I just don’t like talking about them. There is a reason for this but let’s leave that for another time shall we '.
'I ate straight from the cartons, no need for plates or silver ware tonight this was a chilled relaxed evening or so I thought but I did insist on using chop sticks no need to be completely void of table manners is there. Yeah I can use chopstick doesn’t everyone' ….
' No? Well I guess a fork is good too '.
'Once I’d eaten my fill I leaned back pulled at the waist band of my sweats, a little adjusting was needed to make room for all those damn pork balls ... Don’t you dare laugh!' ..And settled in to start my legendry classic movie marathon.
'God Yeah ! I love classical movies'.
'You never watched a classical movie ever!!?'
'Oh come on seriously ! …. You must have seen Casablanca? It’s a wonderful life? To kill a mocking bird? Miracle on 34th street ?... Yeah they’re in black and white ,all top class classical films '
' Wait... What! Please tell me you seen a black and white movie!'
' You haven’t...Well…what would you class as a classic movie then? Oh my god you cannot be serious! Home alone, you think Home Alone is a classic movie... What... am I going to do with you? Yeah I suppose that could be a possibility'.
'You should...I mean go see a black and white film there nothing like it , Do ya know the movie theater on the corner of 58th street?'
'Yeah that’s the one the one with the old fashioned ticket booth outside .They do monthly classical film nights , on the last Sunday of every month '...
'You don’t work on Sundays that’s good... Is it me or is it getting hot in here...I’m not blushing , guys don’t blush.'
'Anyway where were we, oh yeah I remember '...
'Well half way through the first film came that unwelcome static interference well really it was the erratic pounding on the door, pounding I tried desperately to ignore and which I have to admit I was successfully doing … for about a minute. It was the loud continuous shouting of my name that finally got me up of my ass and out of that familiar self-made dip in my chair' .
'I grudgingly dragged my uncooperative feet across the floor to the door and pulled it open hoping to show my annoyance, to see those early mentioned passes being thrust into my face and the rest as they say is history' ..
~~*~~*~~
'Where is my friend Gabe now?'...
'You mean my so called best friend . I have no clue , he literally loved me and left me within minutes of entering the club , seconds after he procured us a couple of drinks .. Some thing or rather someone more like, caught his eye and he darted off without a second thought for me , making his way through the throng of club goers vanishing into the haze of smoke and lights' ..
'So this is how! Me... Noah Mayer , find myself sitting next to the bar swirling this neatly sliced lime around my glass , asking myself and You .Over and over again why the hell I am in this club , Sorry no offence intended .
'It’s just that it's so not my thing. Don’t get me wrong I love music … most types of music in fact .But... I am more the smaller quiet club kinda guy... Clubs that play live music , Somewhere you could actually sit and talk to people or that special someone . You don’t have to smirk at me like that ya know , We would all like that special someone to take to a place where you wouldn't have to use sign language to communicate '.
~~*~*~~
'I still can’t fathom why I haven’t gotten up and simply walked out the door and gone home'
'I tried to leave but they must have something sticky on theses seats because my butt wouldn’t move I’m stuck here in this vortex of noise, lights and sweaty bodies probably annoying the hell out of you'.
'I’m not..... that nice of you to say '...
'Well to tell you the truth, between you and me I do know the answer to that question why I haven’t gone home that is ... it’s why I’m always the one to stay sober, I’m the reliable one, the sensible one, the somewhat boring one, the one they all know they can trust, the one that will get them out of trouble'.
'But honestly deep down I like to believe it’s simply because I’m a good friend and knowing Gab like I do he will need this good friend before the nights out '….
'He’ll be in no fit state to get himself out of this club never mind back home , so yet again it’s Noah Mayer to the rescue' .
'HA! Yeah I do have a large ‘S’ hidden under my shirt ... But hey that’s me and I don’t mind really ... my friends are an important part my life they’re my family , but let’s keep that between the two of us Ok ' .
~~*~~*~~
The music and atmosphere were defiantly picking up the queue at the large bar over on the other side of the room is at least ten bodies deep, I chuckle to myself silently patting myself on the back for grabbing a bar stool at the small cocktail bar tucked away in the corner of the room which seems to be a hidden treasure that very few people have found.:
'Sorry didn’t mean to ignore you... my mind wandered trying to drown out this constant Thump. Thump .Thump of the music';
'Excuse me?' No I wasn’t thinking about Gabe . I was thinking about the things I had to do tomorrow ... Planning out my day down to the littlest detail as always, even down to where I would stop for lunch'...
'What! I told you I like to plan it just the thing I do , that and making sure my apartment is neat and tidy ,what can I say I can’t deal with mess in my life things have to be in order , a place for everything and everything in its place .. That’s my mantra, hey no fair that’s not meant to make you laugh. but , You do have a nice laugh though I like it '.
'Anyway moving on. Remember I confessed to loving all types of music. Well I did exaggerate slightly on that point, there is one type, well more artist really that makes my toes curl and not in a good way if you know what I mean... If they come on the radio, or onto MTV my fingers have reached for the off button or the remote before I can even consciously think about doing it'.
'If I think back on it I think this steams from my early teens... when the they were playing one song on repeat everywhere . It was So over done . I got nothing against the artist in question really , I just can’t listen to their music' .
'Why have I mentioned this now?
'Give me a minute.... I'm just about to explain my reason '...
'Well I thought this night couldn’t get any worse but hell was I wrong , because that artist is now being blasted in our ears ‘ Oops , I did it again’ do I really care what she did , That .would. Be .a .No! Oh come on don’t hate me... Admit it you could care less what she was Oopsing about'.
'What! Seriously you like Britney '...
'You have all her albums ?; you have to be kidding me '…
'You’ll be telling me next you joined her fan clu…Noooo!'
'Proud member number what?' …
'Three thousand and sixty eight and you have a membership card to prove it hell you seriously need an intervention'.
' I could help you overcome this addiction ya know; maybe introduce you to some of my musical tastes '...
'You would have to go cold turkey ! No more ‘Oh Baby Baby’ stay away from ‘I’m a slave for you , ignore it when she sings ‘Oops, I did it again’ and she will ya know, she will sing it again' ...
' I could Get you through your Britney with drawl with a few diversionary tactics I have tucked up my sleeve'.
'What do you mean can I deliver'...?
'Of cause I can deliver, I never make a promise I cannot kee'...
'Damn Last orders , is it that time already and I was just beginning to enjoy myself ' ..
'Seriously though thanks for listening you’ve been awesome, No you more than done your job you were here to work and tend the bar , but instead you saved me from a fate worst the boredom .So thank you ' .
'Well best get going and find that so called friend of mine , you really have been great compa.... This Sunday, No surprisingly I have nothing planned yet'
'Why? Err mm... Did you fancy doing something.No never mind forget I said anything'..
'You do?'
'With me? Really' ...
'That awesome , Well you could take me up on my offer and delve into the world of black and white cinematography'.
'We could go to dinner first if you like... I been told there’s this amazing .. Yeah you got it, Chinese place just down the block from that theater I mentioned earlier ...
Are their sweet and sour pork balls any good? ha ha , I don’t know but I’ll guess we’ll find out'...
'Oh . Yeah .. cell number thanks... you can put it straight in my cell phone …. 614-679-1120... Luke Snyder'
'Nice to meet you Luke' !
'I’ll call you tomorrow late morning... yeah , let you catch up on some sleep .. we can confirm times and everything... Thanks again Luke , it’s been a pleasure getting to know you looking forward to Sunday'...
~~*~~*~~
‘Hey Noah. Dude where’d you disappear too , been looking for you everywhere , you’ve had a good time, Please , please tell me you’ve had a good time Noah ‘
‘Yeah Gabe I had a good time .. It wasn’t the night I had planned Gab being honest an all ...

'Let me finish will ya .. it turned out to be a pretty special evening, with plenty more to come if all goes to plan'...
