This one's for Alessa, and anyone else who's heard my discourses
A lot of people have heard me discoursing about a certain "Dr. McDreamy" who comes into Beaners quite frequently and I'm always ready, waiting, and drooling over him with a tall skinny latte in the early mornings that he stops in on his way to work. He's quite a nice guy: skipped going to the Bahamas to take care of his ill mother, works the ER b/c he feels like he's really helping people, always asks me about how my running or ASB stuff is going. I've got a pretty school girlish crush on this guy. I'm the younger crusher, aka Meredith Grey, and he's my crush, aka Dr. McDreamy. Age difference? Yes. Big one. I don't even know how big. Let's just say clearly, for more reasons that one, this guy is out of my league and far too old for me.
So when I go on spring break, my co-worker and amigo till the end Josh Cochran is enjoying some drinks at the Riv when he sees McDreamy. He starts laughing to himself thinking "man, if only Kristen were here." Now, I know it may sound like a strange occurence for an ER doc to be hanging out at the Riv, but McDreamy told me he likes to get drinks with his interns and younger co-workers b/c it makes them more like family, and his co-workers prefer the Riv. So Josh gets a few drinks in him and decides to buy McDreamy a shot. Josh is in California right now and couldn't elaborate on many details about them hanging out and doing shots together, but the bottom line is that it happened.
So when I saw McDreamy come in Tuesday morning, I was feeling rather ballsy and playful and the following conversation ensued:
Me: "So what's this I hear about you doing shots with my co-workers? I am frankly offended that I wasn't invited."
McDreamy: "Well how was I supposed to get a hold of you? Just call out your name?"
Me: "That would work. Call out my name,I'll come runnin. James Taylor-Carol King style "
McDreamy: "Sense of humor, that's what makes you my favorite Barista"
Me: *Blushes and changes subject to talk about other stuff for a minute*
McDreamy: "Well I gotta head to work..."
Me: (THIS IS ME BEING CRAZY AND I DON"T EVEN KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM) "Okay sir...I'll be at the Riv getting drinks on Thursday, so if you feel like proving this whole "favorite barista" thing you know where to do some shots at"
McDreamy: "Thursday eh? Actually that works for me. See you there. *Wink*"
OOPS. I THINK I JUST ASKED AN OVER 30 YEAR OLD OUT FOR DRINKS.
True Story.
