Tonight was awesome. Like everyone said, "It's about damn time."
Everyone knew, that is everyone but us. We thought it wouldn't work. We didn't want to be committed even when it was an option. And you know what? It went so well. Everything from the meeting at Strack's, to dinner, to walking into an empty Blue Room, to Highland's parking lot, to long talks at Krispy Kreme. Everything was great. Especially the calls. They made me laugh.
I wish I could explain this, but for once, I can't. All I can say is that I'm looking forward to the 5th. I'm the designated driver if we go home, but I would much rather stay in Cyndi's backyard under the tent near the bonfire with him. Because I can. Because we are on the same page. Because he likes me. And I like him. And I couldn't be happier.
We have a lunch date tomorrow. Just because he wants to see me. And I want to see him. Because like everyone said when they found out, "It's about damn time." Even Jan said it. Because she, just like everyone else in the building knew. That is everyone but us.
I asked. He hinted, apparently. I couldn't take it. I just had to ask. And he answered because he wanted to, just as much as I did. It was the cake he said. But we never knew. Until he said yes. He was afraid just like I was. His dad knew and even tried to set us up. And we were too blind to see it.
He did what I wanted. The rubberband ball was in my court. haha. I really like this kid. I don't think anything can adequetly describe this night other than purely amazing. Even Toon agreed as I called her in a slightly giggly mood on my ride home.
I love stuffed French toast. I decided that among many other things tonight.
I love the people at work, who consult with each other about my welfare. And who love my "father-in-law". I love that Cyndi watched us leave. I love that they loved me enough to let me date Merwin...even though I never could because that would just be weird. This was a good one...a real honest winner.
Best things from tonight:
"I'll just park your car..."-Mike
"Steph said you had to be nice to me tonight!"-Me
"It's about damn time."-Elsa, Steph, Cyndi, Jan, Nancy, Darren, and Merlyn
"We are not calling it a night just yet."-Mike
Mike: "So then Ryan..."
Me: "Ryan knew?"
Mike: "Don't know how he did considering, but he did..."
Me: "Wait, I may have told him...Yeah, I did."
Mike: "And Kenny."
Me: "Okay, we talk..."
Mike: "Pepe."
Me: "No clue on that one."
Mike: "Wait...I think he just knew."
"Way to pick a winner with that one. I was so much better."-Mike
"I'll hit you in the eye when you come home."-Mike
"I'm not leading her on anymore."-Mike to Cyndi
Tonight was great. It was f-ing amazing. And for that, I am grateful. Fingers crossed for lunch/dinner tomorrow. I think now that we both know, things are going to be a little more interesting, but not weird. They can't be. Because he would have done this. We would have tested the water. We would have been us before, but it wasn't the right time. Tonight was though. And you could so tell.
He wants to be the door opening, dinner-buying nice guy. And he wasn't lying when he said he was all those things.
