A back rub, a lovely kiss, and the morning after the after-party!
Well.
There's so much shit going on right now, I don't even know where to begin with it all. Ok, I'll back-track to Tuesday, that'll get us up to today. My hands are pretty shaky, so bear with me as I type this, if there's any typos or whatever.
Ok, so here's all that has happened since Tuesday. And trust me, this has been an amazing few days!
Ok, so Tuesday afternoon, after work, I ran into Rob again. Asked him if he'd mind giving me a ride home, and he looked at me like I was nuts for asking. He said sure, he didn't mind, that he'd told me before I am more than welcome to get a ride to and from if I needed/wanted one. So, we went out to his car, got in, and drove back to where I'm staying. Anyways, so we were sitting in his car and we were talking about what there was to do for fun around town, as I still don't really know anyone yet, and I don't have any true blue friends to chill with yet. Or as he calls it, "kick it." LOL I still don't understand that, but hey, what can ya do, right?
So, anyways, we were sitting there talking, and he goes, "Well, I was gonna ask you. . .Do you like to play darts or shoot pool or anything like that?" I told him not really, as I suck at pool, and the only pool halls around were ones that sold alcohol, and I don't drink. Well, I'd not drank in just shy of 14 months, but we'll get to that in good time.
Anyways, so we exchanged #'s, and he goes, "Well, if you want, I can give you a ride to work in the morning. I leave at 5.50 a.m., and I can meet you down here so you don't have to walk to work!" I told him thank you, and he and I talked about hanging out sometime. After we were done talking, I got out and went upstairs and got a shower, he went home and did whatever he does after work.
The next morning, Wednesday, I got up and I waited for him, I was outside (my clock said a quarter after 6) waiting, and I didn't see him. I thought, "Ahhh dammit. He's probably on his way to work, thinking I wasn't going in today." So, I started walking. I get up to the top of the bridge, and he drives by and sees me, and I just busted out laughing at myself for being so silly and thinking I'd missed him showing up at the apartment to get me. I got in and he goes, "You know, I got there at 6.22 this morning." I told him that I didn't see him, that I'd been out there for a little bit, got worried that I'd missed him and started walking to work. He and I talked about how he'd felt the urge to call me the night before, that he didn't know why he'd felt compelled to call me, but he didn't because he didn't want me thinking he was stalking me or something. I just told him not to worry about it, if he wanted to call me, that that would be fine. I confessed I'd wanted to call him, too, but decided against it.
We got to work, clocked in, told each other to have a good day, and we'd see each other later. Well, incidentally enough, I was able to take my break at the same time he was, and I was sitting in the break room reading my book and he comes up to me and goes, "Do you smoke?" I told him, "Yeah, once in awhile, why?
Rob ~>"Well, I was about to go out to my van and listen to the radio, and if you want, you can come out with me, and if you smoke, I don't care if you do around me."
Me ~>"Well, I'm out of cigs right now, but sure, I'll come and sit outside with ya."
So we went outside and talked for a bit, we talked about anything and everything, and then we had to go back in. He's a very nice guy. GORGEOUS brown eyes, too. >;) He told me he's Japanese and Hawaiian. ~le drool~ I love Asian guys! Especially big guys with somethin' to them so I don't have to worry if I'm going to break them in half if I go to hug them or not! lmao
After work, he drove me home, but we stopped at the gas station first. There was someone he knew from his department in front of us, I guess it was his supervisor or something, and he started teasing the guy about moving his vehicle or whatever. Rob and I were laughing our asses off at this guy doing all sorts of goofy dances and just taking his sweet time moving his truck. Rob told me that the guy we were just laughing at is always like that, and he's fun to work around.
So, he gets gas, and then we head up to the apartment where I'm staying, and we sit there talking for a moment, neither of us really anxious to part. LMAO
He asked me if I was free that night, and I said yes, so we talked about him coming back out by me and us watching a movie or something else, but we agreed that since we both were pretty cruddy and gross from work, that we wanted to get showers first, and he said he'd call me later. I went upstairs and told Diane that I'd had a friend wanting to come visit, would it be ok, and all that stuph, then I went and got into the shower, took my time, and then got back out, smiling and happy that someone wanted to come visit me. Someone from this area to boot! hee hee
Ok, so I called him and he told me that there was a few things he still needed to take care of, and then he'd call me and let me know he was on his way. Ok, that's fine. He called a little bit later and said he wanted me to "time him," as to how long it would take to get to my house in the morning.
So, he gets to the house in about a half hour or so, and then we were finally able to go into my room and start watching THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE. While I was getting the movie up past the previews, he comes up and goes, "Don't freak out." I just kind of looked at him and said, "huh?" He starts playing with my hair, he I guess wanted to see what the deal with it is, as it's shaved underneath, and all the rest of it's in tact. He asked me why I shaved the back of my head and I told him that I have a lot of hair, and it gets very heavy and gives me nasty headaches sometimes, so I decided to thin it out some.
Ok, so the movie was finally past the previews, I told him to cop a squat wherever he wanted, and he sat down on my bed, I sat on the floor about a half a foot from him. We were sitting there, he was on my bed, and I was sitting on the floor, and he kept telling me that he didn't mind if I sat on the bed next to him, it was ok. I told him it's fine, I was fine sitting on the floor, and we were trying to watch the movie, and I let out this heavy sigh. I've been frustrated about a lot of things, and I guess it showed. Well, Rob goes, "Sigh of frustration?" I told him something like that, and he offered to "help" with that. When I asked what he'd meant, he goes, "I could give you a back rub, if you want." I just thought, "OMG. He wants to give me a back rub." I just looked up at him and said, "Ok, if you're sure you don't mind!" He motioned for me to come over closer by him so he could reach my back better, and OH MY GOD. That boy has a pair of hands that could massage a stone into putty! lmao We were sitting there, he was rubbing my shoulders and such, and I noticed he had a very gentle touch, and I was thinking, "Ok, he's probably afraid of hurting me or something, that's why he's being so gentle!" So, I told him, "Hey, you don't have to be gentle, I'm not made of glass, you know." He stops what he's doing, and then he goes, "Ohhh, I guess you don't want this, huh?" lmao I just laughed and asked him what he meant by that statement, and he goes, "Well, you just said that you're not made of glass, and I think you're just not wanting me to rub your back!" He was grinning, so I knew he wasn't mad. I just told him, "No, I just figured you wer afraid of hurting me or something." Well! I am surprised by what he did next! I'm still grinning over this!
When I said that comment about him being "afraid," and he later told me that he was thinking, "Oh, no she didn't just say I'm afraid of hurting her," he turned me so I was facing him, and he gave me the best kiss I've had in ages. We just sat there kissing for awhile, and I was thinking, "Omg. . .He's amazing. . ." ~le blush~
After a little more of that, we started talking some, and then he goes, "Turn around." I did, and we started kissing some more. He pulls away just a little bit and says, "You know, I could do this for hours." I told him I could, too, and we started kissing some more, and then he goes, "You have really soft lips." ~le tingle~ I just got chills when he said that, and I told him I liked how he kisses, that he's very gentle about it, and I wish we could do that the whole night. He is the best damn kisser! OH MY GOD!!!
So we talked about relationships and why our previous ones had gone afoul, and we kissed some more, and joked about, "You know, this is a very interesting movie, isn't it?" lmao
So, we were kissing, and then I went to hug him, and he gave me a big bear hug. He's pretty solid (he used to play football in High School, and he's a welder, so he's a big guy), so when he hugged me like that, I just melted. I was thinking, "Daaaaaamn! I could get used to this!"
So we talked and kissed some more, and then at 10.30 p.m., I walked him downstairs to his car. We took the long way around, as we wanted to spend a bit more time together. So, we took the front stairs down and walked around to the back of the building, instead of taking the back stairs and being right there in the parking lot. We kissed some more, and then he goes (and I'm still blushing and smiling over this!!!!! I've never been called this before, but always have seen it and read about it in movies and books!), "Good night, my fair lady." I just stood there thinking how nice it felt to be in his arms, and to have him kissing me. Wow. One word: AMAZING. So, after more kissing and talking, we said goodnight, and then I went back inside, euphoric from the visit, the kiss, and the back rub!
I went in and talked to Diane for a minute, and I was doing the happy geeky girl chicken dance b/c I got a back rub! And it felt damn good!
By 11.15, I was ready (or so I thought) to go to bed. by 11.30, I was asleep. But between those 2 times, I went out to get a glass of water, Matt was sitting at the table, and he goes, "Hello!" I just said hello back and didn't say anything more. He asked if I was in a bad mood, and I told him no, I was just crashing from a euphoric moment, as I'd had a friend from work over, and had a blast visiting. He and I talked for a moment, Jeff comes in and starts heckling me, about what I don't remember, but he went to tickle me, and I shouted at Diane (she was in another room), "DIANE! JEFF'S TRYING TO MOLEST ME!!" So what's she do? She hollars back, "BETTER YOU THAN ME!" He almost got shot in the eye with one of my pony tail holders, and I almost clobbered him with a plastic masher from the drainboard. heh heh
Anyways, so I went to bed, and had a HUGE smile on my face.
So, Thursday, I got a ride from Rob to work, and when I got into the van, he goes, "Hi, honey." And goes to kiss me! OMG! That boy's got some amazing fucking lips!! Daaaaaaaamn! Anyways. Moving on. So, after our kiss, he goes, "Good morning!" LMAO I just smiled and said hello and we drove up to work. We had a few extra minutes, so we were sitting there talking some and then told each other we'd see each other later. I warned him if I'm on paint line, I won't be able to take my break same time he does, so I may not see him until after work. He was fine with that, and then we told each other to have a good day, and that we'd see each other later.
I went to my area and just smiled and grinned the whole day. Mark and I fucked with each other relentlessly, and then after work, when I punched out, I didn't see Rob around, so I went into the break room and started reading my book some, and he walks in and sees me, saying, "Oh, no. You're not reading in here! It's too loud to read!" There were like maybe 6 or 7 people in there, and there was a few others kind of trickling out as they punched out and made mad dashes for their cars.
Rob and I went and got into his van, kissed, and then we decided on what to do. He took me up to where he lived, as there was something he had to do up there, and then we went back to where I'm staying and hung out there for a few minutes. I have bad arthritis, and my legs were hurting me very badly that night, so I guess it's kinda a good thing that Rob and I didn't hang out that night. He and I talked, I took like 4 Ibuprophen, and went and parked my ass on the couch, listening to him and Diane talk. He said he'd had to get home and get a shower, but he'd call me later, and maybe we could do something that night. I told him sure, I had no problem with that at all, and I went to get a shower myself. The hot water helped, but I was way exhausted from work.
Before he left, though, I went to go get my shoes on to walk him down to his van, and he goes, "Honey, you don't have to walk me down to my car. It's ok." I told him that I wanted to at least walk him to the door, then, and so he relented and I walked him down there, we kissed, and he told me he'd call me later. ~le sigh~
Rob has 2 kids with a girl he dated a long time ago. He's not seen his children in a long time, and his ex-girlfriend's always starting shit with him. Thursday night, he'd gotten a call from his childrens' grandmother (his ex's mother), and then he got into it with his ex over the phone. He called me to apologize, that he'd not be coming out by me b/c he didn't want me to see him in a bad mood. I told him it was fine, that I wasn't going to be much company, myself, b/c my legs hurt so bad, and I just wanted to lay down for a bit. We talked for a little bit, and then he said something about calling me back when his cousin was done with the phone. I got a call from him yesterday morning asking me if I was going to work. lmao
Now for the bad shit and then the good shit. I was doing laundry Thursday night. I don't have a key to the basement, so I had to borrow Diane's key. I got my stuph into the wash, went down later to get it into the dryer, but had to use Jeff's key to do that. I went to lay down for a minute, had my alarm set for 10.30 so I could go down and get my clothes. Well, I got my meds earlier that day (Thank you again, Rob, for taking me to do that!), and I'd taken them, they were kicking my ass. That on top of lack of sleep for a week, a rough day at work, and worrying about Rob's behaviour (he was talking about going out and getting shit-faced). Well, I heard the alarm go off at 10.30. I was too exhausted, so I got up and set it again for 11.30, not hearing it that time. I didn't hear anything until yesterday morning when Rob called to see if I was going to work.
I rushed around, getting ready, doing 4 things at once, and then I hear him in the living room talking to Diane. I was just finishing getting ready, and we got to work with like 3 minutes to spare! Yay!
Well, before I'd started getting ready for work, I realized I still had my clothes in the basement. I went and woke Diane for the keys, and she handed them to me, I got my stuph, and GAVE HER BACK HER KEYS!. I know for a fact that I did, b/c I told her to wake up, I had to give her her keys back, and then she held her hand out and said thank you. I told her no problem and I went to get ready for work, as Rob would be there any moment to get me.
Well, by 9 a.m., I got a call from Diane, "Where are my keys, you have them!" I get yelled at by my boss, then I have to go and call her, she's yelling at me, and I told her that she had them, that I was getting into huge trouble with the boss, I did not yell at her, she said to get out, and hangs up on me.
As I'm waiting to punch out, Matt walks up to me and goes, "Tabitha, I'm supposed to tell you that the house is locked up and there's a note on the door for you. That's all I know." I told him whatever, thanx, and said I'll talk with him later. Rob is standing there shaking his head going, "That's just shady having dude tell you about that." I just stood there, shaking.
I went and finished out my shift, Rob came up to me on both breaks and wanted to talk, and I talked to him a little bit, and he tried joking and teasing to get me to smile. We went and got our checks cashed, drove around for a little bit, I just didn't say anything, we drove to West Bend, did our errands, then we stopped at his house for a bit, and I fell asleep on his bed. I didn't mean to, but I was exhausted emotionally and physically, but Rob didn't mind, he said, he had gone downstairs for a minute, that's when I nodded off. He came back up, and tried to wake me, got me to talk to him (though I don't really remember it!), and then (he's so sweet!) went and made dinner. Chicken and rice with soy sauce! God, I've been jonesing for that for awhile! He did an awesome job, and I eat like a bird, but he was taking it like I didn't like what he'd made. I told him it wasn't that, I'm a slow eater, and I was not very hungry at that point.
Long story short, I got shitfaced beyond shitfaced last night. I was with Rob, so I knew I was safe. But, I'll say this: if I'd have been sober, or just mildly buzzed, I know more would've happened. I guess I was hitting on this one bartender (we went barhopping from Finish Line -- didn't get anything there -- to Slinger House Pub -- got a pitcher of Rolling Rock, shared that, and played pool -- then to the Rib Cage where that hot bartender was. ~le drool~).
Anyways, that's it for now, but I will write more later. Library's about to close.
There's so much shit going on right now, I don't even know where to begin with it all. Ok, I'll back-track to Tuesday, that'll get us up to today. My hands are pretty shaky, so bear with me as I type this, if there's any typos or whatever.
Ok, so here's all that has happened since Tuesday. And trust me, this has been an amazing few days!

So, we went out to his car, got in, and drove back to where I'm staying. Anyways, so we were sitting in his car and we were talking about what there was to do for fun around town, as I still don't really know anyone yet, and I don't have any true blue friends to chill with yet.

GORGEOUS brown eyes, too. >;) He told me he's Japanese and Hawaiian. ~le drool~ I love Asian guys!

After a little more of that, we started talking some, and then he goes, "Turn around." I did, and we started kissing some more. He pulls away just a little bit and says, "You know, I could do this for hours." I told him I could, too, and we started kissing some more, and then he goes, "You have really soft lips." ~le tingle~ I just got chills when he said that, and I told him I liked how he kisses, that he's very gentle about it, and I wish we could do that the whole night.

There were like maybe 6 or 7 people in there, and there was a few others kind of trickling out as they punched out and made mad dashes for their cars.
Rob and I went and got into his van, kissed, and then we decided on what to do. He took me up to where he lived, as there was something he had to do up there, and then we went back to where I'm staying and hung out there for a few minutes. I have bad arthritis, and my legs were hurting me very badly that night, so I guess it's kinda a good thing that Rob and I didn't hang out that night. He and I talked, I took like 4 Ibuprophen, and went and parked my ass on the couch, listening to him and Diane talk. He said he'd had to get home and get a shower, but he'd call me later, and maybe we could do something that night. I told him sure, I had no problem with that at all, and I went to get a shower myself. The hot water helped, but I was way exhausted from work.
Before he left, though, I went to go get my shoes on to walk him down to his van, and he goes, "Honey, you don't have to walk me down to my car. It's ok." I told him that I wanted to at least walk him to the door, then, and so he relented and I walked him down there, we kissed, and he told me he'd call me later. ~le sigh~
Rob has 2 kids with a girl he dated a long time ago. He's not seen his children in a long time, and his ex-girlfriend's always starting shit with him. Thursday night, he'd gotten a call from his childrens' grandmother (his ex's mother), and then he got into it with his ex over the phone. He called me to apologize, that he'd not be coming out by me b/c he didn't want me to see him in a bad mood. I told him it was fine, that I wasn't going to be much company, myself, b/c my legs hurt so bad, and I just wanted to lay down for a bit. We talked for a little bit, and then he said something about calling me back when his cousin was done with the phone. I got a call from him yesterday morning asking me if I was going to work. lmao
Now for the bad shit and then the good shit. I was doing laundry Thursday night. I don't have a key to the basement, so I had to borrow Diane's key. I got my stuph into the wash, went down later to get it into the dryer, but had to use Jeff's key to do that. I went to lay down for a minute, had my alarm set for 10.30 so I could go down and get my clothes. Well, I got my meds earlier that day (Thank you again, Rob, for taking me to do that!), and I'd taken them, they were kicking my ass. That on top of lack of sleep for a week, a rough day at work, and worrying about Rob's behaviour (he was talking about going out and getting shit-faced). Well, I heard the alarm go off at 10.30. I was too exhausted, so I got up and set it again for 11.30, not hearing it that time. I didn't hear anything until yesterday morning when Rob called to see if I was going to work.
I rushed around, getting ready, doing 4 things at once, and then I hear him in the living room talking to Diane. I was just finishing getting ready, and we got to work with like 3 minutes to spare! Yay!
Well, before I'd started getting ready for work, I realized I still had my clothes in the basement. I went and woke Diane for the keys, and she handed them to me, I got my stuph, and GAVE HER BACK HER KEYS!. I know for a fact that I did, b/c I told her to wake up, I had to give her her keys back, and then she held her hand out and said thank you. I told her no problem and I went to get ready for work, as Rob would be there any moment to get me.
Well, by 9 a.m., I got a call from Diane, "Where are my keys, you have them!" I get yelled at by my boss, then I have to go and call her, she's yelling at me, and I told her that she had them, that I was getting into huge trouble with the boss, I did not yell at her, she said to get out, and hangs up on me.
As I'm waiting to punch out, Matt walks up to me and goes, "Tabitha, I'm supposed to tell you that the house is locked up and there's a note on the door for you. That's all I know." I told him whatever, thanx, and said I'll talk with him later. Rob is standing there shaking his head going, "That's just shady having dude tell you about that." I just stood there, shaking.
I went and finished out my shift, Rob came up to me on both breaks and wanted to talk, and I talked to him a little bit, and he tried joking and teasing to get me to smile. We went and got our checks cashed, drove around for a little bit, I just didn't say anything, we drove to West Bend, did our errands, then we stopped at his house for a bit, and I fell asleep on his bed. I didn't mean to, but I was exhausted emotionally and physically, but Rob didn't mind, he said, he had gone downstairs for a minute, that's when I nodded off. He came back up, and tried to wake me, got me to talk to him (though I don't really remember it!), and then (he's so sweet!) went and made dinner. Chicken and rice with soy sauce! God, I've been jonesing for that for awhile! He did an awesome job, and I eat like a bird, but he was taking it like I didn't like what he'd made. I told him it wasn't that, I'm a slow eater, and I was not very hungry at that point.
Long story short, I got shitfaced beyond shitfaced last night. I was with Rob, so I knew I was safe. But, I'll say this: if I'd have been sober, or just mildly buzzed, I know more would've happened. I guess I was hitting on this one bartender (we went barhopping from Finish Line -- didn't get anything there -- to Slinger House Pub -- got a pitcher of Rolling Rock, shared that, and played pool -- then to the Rib Cage where that hot bartender was. ~le drool~).
Anyways, that's it for now, but I will write more later. Library's about to close.
