What a great night!

I got home at 7:30am today because I played poker all night. Now, it wasn't my intention to be out last night at all....but Scott text me in the afternoon and said that he wanted to play poker, too! Of course, I did everything but jump up and down and scream for joy---and I had him meet me at a gas station, and follow me.

When we got to the house, he came to my car door immediately and asked if I needed help, and I said, "actually, yes." And handed him my bags---so that I could carry the birthday cake that I had brought for one of my friends. I also wanted Scott to see that I do nice things for everyone, not just him.

He played in another room, and his friend, James, played in my room, and I was like the barmaid! Since I wasn't playing, I made sure everyone had their drinks full, and if they needed anything, I would get it for them. It was fun.

I noticed several times, that Scott was looking at me when he would come in, and sometimes, I went and met him in the kitchen, and he would have that shy, smile that I know I get when I am looking at someone that I like. Now I wasn't drinking last night, so I know that my perception is pretty clear.

Then at about 1am, he came to play inside...and there were three open seats at the table....including one next to me. Everyone was asking him where he was going to sit, and he said he would decide while in the restroom. As he was coming back, I left the table, cause I didn't want to see if he would sit next to me....and he did!

I know that I can't read alot into that...except that we hadn't spent any time together....and he could have sat next to his friend---and it wasn't like I had alot of money on the table that he could take from me,either.

His friend is quite cute...and also very nice. I hugged the host good-bye...and when we got to my car, I asked them if they were gonna eat---James wanted to, Loren didn't. I guess I could have told James I'd eat with him. Scott said he just wanted to go to sleep. So James came over to me and hugged me---Scott was already walking away...and when he saw James hug me....he came back to me and hugged me...and I accidently brushed his ass! Maybe he didn't notice.

I just counted...and since yesterday, we talked on the phone 5 times...and he text me 8 times. Hmmmmmmm.....

While I was driving home, he text me was I okay to drive....to which I replied...probably not. Meanwhile, I am thinking....you idiot....why didnt you ask me before we left each other!

So, clearly.....I really doubt that he has another girl in his life--locally in any event....that's okay, though....I think last night showed him that I am not all goo goo over him....and can behave like a normal human being---rather than someone who wants to hang all over him!

I'm thrilled and very very happy......
