I have lots of updates. Cannot even get my head strait trying to remember everything.

Other things H said on the first night. He rearranged the furniture in the condo, so he when we were at the friends’ house he was explaining why he did it. Then he asked if the dog was OK with where his dish was now, because it got moved from the corner. I said that it was fine. I asked him if there were more water leaks in the condo, because I saw the holes cut in the dry wall in the garage. He was telling me the whole story about it and seemed upset about it.

He said that the reason he moved love seat in place of couch is because the couch had sunken cushions because this is where he falls asleep almost every night, so he doesn’t make it to the bedroom. I told him that this is also what happens to me in my house. It used to be him falling asleep on the couch watching TV. I would normally not wake him up, just cover him with the blanket and bring the pillow from our bed.

I had a feeling that he kind of wanted me to know that he falls asleep on the couch. Don’t know why.

Forgot to mention that when we got the condo, there was a note from H, telling us that all linens were clean and also telling us where he was staying in case we need anything. And then wished us a fun race weekend. There was also a new sticker for the sand rail on the counter, so it could be driven in and out of the gated community. I immediately thought that he didn’t even drive the rail this year.

I didn’t expect to see H at all during the weekend. So, next day we did some activities with my son and his GF, and the dog. Later we were supposed to go to town where there was a show of the race cars. We were supposed to meet our friends (mutual friends) and my GF (the one who owns the bar) with her son and his GF there. The guy who I mentioned had a crush on me didn’t come with them. So, we came to town and went to the restaurant where we were supposed to meet. Everybody was already there. And there was H again, sitting with my male friend and my GF (the bar owner). When I called them earlier, they didn’t mention that H would be there, so I was surprised again.

All kids got a table and we were sitting at the bar. Just like in old times, except I was not sitting next to H. We talked some more. I cannot even remember all of it. I looked better this time. I ordered margarita. They brought it in a plastic glass and it tasted horrible, very sweet. H seemed to be concerned about it told me to return it back and order a new one in a glass. He almost did call the bartender for me.

Later he showed everybody his tattoo. It came out bigger than he wanted. There is a hand with the piece sign and it is colored in American flag colors. There was a part of an eagle and then something that I could not understand. He explained that there was supposed to be a part of a Mexican flag too, but it was not finished yet. It is not too bad actually. The kids were impressed.

He said that it is taking a lot longer than he expected and this is why he cannot go to the pool to play water volleyball, his favorite thing here. He said that he started the tattoo before his birthday, just like he was planning all along.

He sat with us for a while. My GF was taking pictures and sending them to the people we both know. She sent one of our pictures to these two guys who are interested in me and who I mentioned before. She got reply with the picture of both of them, apparently at her bar. She was trying to make it a bit mysterious, showing the picture to my male friends and whispering something in his ear. And I was trying to not show off. I just didn’t feel like it.

I ordered some food and ate. H was still sitting there. Then, just like the previous night, he abruptly got up, said good bye and left.

Stay tuned for the next part.
