So in the meantime, You'll be resting on my mind.
Almost Honest - Josh Kelley

So the plot thickens. I went on a date with another boy last night. I thought it was going to be innocent. We’ve been talking for awhile, and I honestly thought that there was nothing there. But now. There is confusion. I think I am going to wait and see.

He buzzed me at 4:30. I was excited and nervous and didn’t want to keep him waiting, so I opened the door with a bit more enthusiasm than normal. Hence my first thought was “dear god I almost killed him with the door.” We find out later that his first thought was “dear god she smells amazing.”

We went to a little park and walked around. It was really sweet, we saw swans, and a muskrat. He told me that I looked awesome, very pretty, and that he loved my hair colour. Because I don’t know how to take a compliment I told him it wasn’t mine. We walked around on the little trails and debated the big bang theory, evolution, deism and paganism. He’s really smart and gets really passionate when he talks about things – it’s incredibly cute.

We went to the CP for dinner. I had the CP salad (yum walnuts and dried cherries) and he had the loaded chicken. Pleasant dinner conversation. Lots of smiling over the table. I noticed that his hands look like he works with them but that he had scrubbed them for our meeting. That’s really sexy.

He has an obsession with diet coke.

We went to see Click. It was kinda a waste of time. Except it was nice to sit close. To feel the sparks when our knees would touch. To wonder if he would try and hold my hand. He didn’t. It was kind of disappointing, but the sparks were there.

We went and got frozen custard. Which my friends is sooooo much better than icecream. I think I might be addicted. We took our cones to the marina and sat on a bench by the water and watched the pitiful sunset, barely a little pink speck. Some bugs tried to fornicate on my foot. We compared hand sizes – his are bigger. He told me he thought pale was sexy, which is a good thing since I am rapidly losing my tan, and that I had cute feet. He told me about his family and his cat. I talked about my former job. He told me the difference between a geek (just good with tech) and a nerd (good with tech plus likes star trek or star wars). It was nice just to hear him talk. We decided we were freezing so we went back to my car to warm up.

I decided that I didn’t want him to go home yet so we went for a little drive and I almost got lost which was very impressive. When we got back to my place we were sitting in the driveway when my parents decided to come home. So I decided it would be sketchy to just sit there and not say hi, so he got to meet the PU’s a littler earlier than expected but it went well.

Then we went and played on the jungle gym that is beside my house. I still don’t know what I was thinking except that it was getting weird in my car and I wasn’t ready for him to leave yet, even though I had homework due before midnight that I still had not done. We climbed on the bars and he told me my monkey bars were wussy. My butt was getting sore but the conversation was good and the tension was crazy. I was making random nonsensical conversation about building castles out of sand with dog poop in it when he put his hand on the back of my head and drew me in.

His lips were so soft and warm. Nice open mouth. Intimate without being creepy. After he told me that I smelled amazing and that that was the first thing that he remembers about our date. I rambled on aimlessly about the name of my perfume, he just smiled at me like he understood that it was his kiss that made me especially incoherent and inarticulate.

I invited him to come visit me again. I promised to visit him in the future. We walked to his car. I rambled on about how when we first moved here we could hear the people next door having sex. He kissed me again. My knees weakened. His fingers in my hair. My hand on his chest. I didn’t want him to leave. I walked up the driveway smiling. I haven’t stopped.
