I have a family room of 10 year old girls, who are all singing the Cheetah Girls loudly. D6 has been invited to watch the talent show, so I have a few minutes before I collect her and hit the hay.
Tonight was VERY interesting.
I'll backtrack and share with you all that my first date with Mr. Wonderful started out in a bowling alley. He came to watch me bowl, as I was in a league. Well, the birthday party took place at the bowling alley...
He stood close to me through the night, cheered me on, bought me a beer and made a bet that D10 would whoop my butt in the 2nd game (she came awfully close). What stunk is that they turned off the lights!
I have horrid night vision, so launching my ball down a dark lane is not my forte. I was not at the top of my game.
I caught him staring at me more than a few times. Well, I had 3 people at church tell me beforehand that I looked marvelous...
So here's my MLC/middle school acting H sitting on a chair leering at me... I had to walk past by him when it was my turn and I muttered loud enough for him to hear, "Here goes nothing; I suck."
I had already passed him when I heard him say, "Bets."
I turned around and he was grabbing his crotch... and waving me over to it!
I waved my hands in sort of a quizzical fashion and he sat there laughing.
WTF?
So after the lewd gesture, he gave me high fives and other bowling gestures after one bowls...
We got back to the house, dished out the ice cream, and he, D6 and I had to head to the family room due to space constraints. It was nearing 10:00 pm and he leaned over (I swear to God I thought he was going to kiss me), but instead he patted my thigh and said, "I know you're going to have fun staying up all night with these loud girls."
He said he was just going to sneak out the garage door?
I asked why?
He shrugged. I said, "K, really? I think D10 would like to give you a kiss goodbye."
He said, "Really? She looks awfully busy."
He must have seen the concern on my face, so he smiled a little and walked up to give her a kiss.
He waved at me and left quietly, without saying goodbye to D6.
Color me puzzled. He's leaving for CA on Monday, so it will be Wednesday before I have to interpret any more lewd gestures or watch him retreat in guilt or whatever else he feels after he takes control of the alien....
That's it for now! Have to turn the volume of the CD player down....
Bets
