Surprise! Surprise!

Pursuant to my mood of the morning yesterday, I had decided that I wasn't going to text Scott this weekend--at all. And then, while I was driving, I sent a text asking if he was working--to which he promptly replied, "No, can you take me to the bus station?"

I immediately called him and said, "where are you going?" (as if I didn't know)...and he answered Portland. And I surprised myself by saying, "what are you doing?" I didn't understand what he said--so I spoke in a funny voice and said, "I wanted to hang out with you this weekend!!!!" He said what? And I repeated it again, and he laughed. I also came right out and asked him if he was going to call me for a ride, and he said of course, he had just gotten off of the internet. And I said are you sure? or were you just gonna leave town and not say anything? (where was all this directness coming from???) So I told him of course I would take him to the bus and that I'd be there around 12:30, so we could go to lunch.

I went over and asked him if he was really just going for the weekend, or for three weeks. He said I just packed for the weekend. I watched him play poker online for a little while....then we left. He also gave me his laundry to wash while he's gone.

We went to lunch, and while we were eating, we were both very animated and silly. He told me he is going to Portland to try and write a song with a friend of his for a contest. How awesome is that???!!!! I had so much fun with him at lunch.

Then we went to the bus station--and on the way there, I told him that it was a nice surprise that I am able to spend some time with him before he goes. Well, the bus he wanted was sold out, so the next one was gonna be at 5pm. When we got back to the car, he was like you got your wish....you get to spend more time with me. And I said that wasn't my wish, and he said yes it was. I said well my wishes are very powerful--you better be careful.

I can't believe how non-chalant I was being--I wasn't nervous around him yesterday--I was more normal. I was touching his leg and hand alot. And he was playing around with me alot too.

I have been needing some new shoes, as well as him...so we went shoe shopping. He kept asking where are we going, and I wouldn't tell him. He started saying, "Let's go to Portland, Let's go to Portland." And I said, "I'm not driving you to Portland." He said, "why not?" and I said, "why would I?" He said,"you don't have anything else to do this weekend...." And I said, "What am I going to do in Portland?" (at this point, part of my heart is singing and hopeful that he gives the right answer......also knowing that he isn't going to.) He said, "I don't know. There is always something going on." So then I said,"I have nothing to do and nowhere to stay." His answer was so far off what it needed to be---I knew that I was gonna have to stick to my guns and say no!

So we found shoes, and after I paid, the cashier said thank you...Mr. and Mrs. Teller. I smiled on the inside...and of course, Scott didn't say anything. I thought it was pretty funny!

So then I start driving us back to the bus...and he starts in with the driving again. Finally, I say, how many times do you think you will have to say it to get me to say yes? He said,"I don't know. What do I have to do to get you to drive to Portland? I will do whatever it takes. I will do anything you want?" I said, "I don't think you will." He said,"C'mon tell me." I couldn't tell if he was playing with me so I didn't say anything more...in fact I changed the subject. (Cuz...with him going this weekend...there is just no way that I was gonna get into that.)

When we got to the station, we sat in the car laughing some more...and I learned something new about him---his favorite song is "Big Pimpin!" How funny!

Finally it was time for him to get on the bus....we said bye...and he told me to be a good girl.

Well, as soon as I was in the car, I started crying....not all the sadness was related to him, but before I was even a block away, I started receiving text messages from him. Thank you, bye, etc.....

So when I got to work, I called him, and we talked for one hour and a half on the phone---and again, it was amazingly simple and fun...he kept telling me I was funny...then he said he was sleepy, so we hung up. And then an hour later, we started texting each other goofy stuff for about an hour. It was hilarious. And we are both definitely goofballs.

It is like we are FINALLY getting somewhere...and really getting to know each other--and maybe he is opening up to us. We did even talk a little bit about him moving in (barely) but at least I was able to say it.

It was a blast....and I am soooooooo happy that I got to spend time with him. Damn...he's hot.
