Look what the cat dragged in! (TL)

[tigerlily78]

Well now. The cat came back around this evening!! He came home to shower here after skating at OW's place of employment. Presumably this means he is no longer keen on "hanging out and helping out" while she does her end of the night cleaning. :P

I told him I was surprised to see him again. He said he came home to shower because he felt like it. I asked, "Didn't you have to drive out of the way to get here." He said, "Not really. Maybe a little, I guess." I asked with my best flirty intonations, "Aren't you going to get in trouble for being here?"
He shrugged and gave me a sly smile, "Maybe."

He started to make himself a protein shake. He couldn't get a jar open, he fumbled and muttered and used the wrong jar opening pad and did his best to seem defeated. I offered to open it and did (he has nerve damage from programming, me opening jars is a common thing). He admitted, "I was hoping you would save me." (weirdo)

I told him our son had some things from school he wanted to show him, but that he had just gotten in the shower himself, so it would have to wait. I also asked "Which part of your hair did you cut? The sides?" He confirmed he cut his sideburns before he left earlier. I said, "I noticed you didn't have a chance to clean up your hair, but since I am nice I took care of it already." H said he would have gotten to it eventually, but was running late before, and thanked me for doing it.

He said he hoped he would get to see the school stuff before he left and was going up to take his shower.

After the shower son got to show him a cool bracelet he made (kind of like those para-cord ones that are all the rage now. H thought the bracelet was really awesome. Son also made scented soaps at school. H says, "They all smell so good, I want to taste them. I want to eat your soaps." I laughed and said that was funny, when son came home today he told me about "all the different FLAVORS he made" and I pointed out that he probably meant SCENTS, I bet none of them taste as good as they smell.

H proposed that we go do something as a family tomorrow when he gets off work, maybe go see a movie. Son and I both said we were up for that. H said he was going to head out but stood in the kitchen and said, "If anyone wants a hug, nows your time to come get them." Son gave him a hug, a little awkward again... I think he is just reaching that age where he feels too old to hug his Dad. :P I took a hug too "as long as he was offering." It was a pretty good hug.

Trying to remind myself this doesn't mean anything. It is way too early for it to mean anything. He could even flake out on the movie offer. No expectations, no expectations, no expectations...
