Have I ever mentioned that I believe in signs?

Well, I went to Best Buy to ge my friend a CD. The parking lot was packed. I drove and drove and drove trying to find a spot. When I finally found it, H's car is parked right in front of mine. PS: there is a Best Buy next door to his parent's house, where he is living, and this one is close to my house.

So I get into the store, find the CD and decide to walk around, looking for H, already beating myself up for doing that. So I run into him and his face lit up. He says, "It's nice to see you!" I say the same. He mentions he was about to go to the house to give me my Christmas gift. I told him not to bother 'cause I didn't get him anything. He said it didn't matter. He still wanted to give it to me; that I could use it.

I excuse myself to leave, as if I was in a hurry. He looked like a kid whose candy had been stolen.

So I drive to the mall, buy a few more gifts (a 180 for me - I would have driven straight home to see what H bought me).

I come home and H screams from upstairs: "don't come in yet, I'm trying to wrap your gift!" I sit on the stairs and hear paper shuffling, as if he was fighting with it. He finally gives up and comes to meet me on the stairs with a vary badly done job of gift wrapping.

I open it and it is a laptop. Not even my wedding ring was this expensive. He says he just wanted to bring a smile to my face and I start to cry. He cried a bit too but diverted the attention by talking about the gadgets in the pc.

We ended up talking for a little bit and I gave him a Nike sunglasses that I bought and were too big for my face. It looked perfect on him. He smile, "see, you did give me something." He said he gave me the laptop because he wanted to top anything anybody else had given me. He said once he saw the ipod, he felt relieved he didn't get me one, but got me something more expensive.

He said his parents were skipping Christmas this year, but I was invited to dinner. I told him that was not a good idea.

As the convo went on, he gave me compliments on the way I look and told me I should hurry up and take some modeling pictures. I confessed to him something I had never told him: that I had taken nude pictures (tasteful, mind you) a long time ago and that they were with my X. His face got really somber.

Convo turned into skiing and he said he would like to take me sometime, that as soon as the new year rolled around, we should take a trip somewhere.

He hugged me again before leaving.

PS: H said he saw me walking around Best Buy, but didn't want me to see him, 'cause he was buying the laptop at that moment.
