Last night’s date with CD was just about everything I wanted it to be.
I looked cute. I left work right on time so I could work on it, knowing I go home from work looking extra tired and downtrodden these days. So I put in some extra effort on last night. I had tried on one outfit that was adorable..had I been going to brunch club. It was darling, but there was no sex appeal. I knew I needed some subtle va-va-voom for my “plan” to work. So I changed into this sheer off-the-shoulder little top number, my distressed denim with frayed hems, and chunky heeled sandals. Voila! Casual sex appeal.
He looked cute. Simple black golf shirt and jeans, but truly, his appeal is in his warm smile and kind eyes and deadpan humor.
He took me to a pretty noisy sushi place I’d never been to yet it’s kind of close to my place. The sushi was fine, but the company was better. God, he’s witty. He can make me belly laugh almost as much as The Scot could…and that’s no easy feat. Much banter ensued. Again, I’m still not on my A-game, but I think I did an okay job of holding my own.
And then…at one point in time, he leaned all the way over the table and gave me a tiny kiss.
After dinner, he drove me home. On the drive he HELD MY HAND. Literally everything I wanted to happen on this date happened because we took the dog on a short walk and kissed about a dozen sweet kisses on the walk.
And then we said goodnight. He asked to see me again one evening this week, but we didn’t solidify a plan yet. But we did end the night with a really wonderful, lingering hug.
Just. Wonderful.
We sent a couple of funny texts back and forth that related to our dinner conversation and then I was asleep like a baby.
I woke up in the middle of the night to a “dead” arm. I couldn’t feel my arm! I flopped it all around and as the tingles finally started to happen, I realized that my arm had fallen asleep somehow and I was able to wake it back up by shaking and making a fist over and over again.
Still, it made me freak out a tiny bit. Was this a stroke warning?
I waited until the nearly acceptable hour of 5:30am to text Dr. D to tell him briefly what happened. And yes, I know I said I was going to back off the texts, but I hadn’t texted about my medical questions in days and he’s been sending fun stuff to me, so I figured I was OK because this felt legit.
And every time I text him questions, he immediately answers back with super helpful information. This was no exception. At 5:30 in the morning. I got an immediate response. See why I’ve fallen a little bit in love with the guy?
We texted for over half an hour, just back and forth, him valitating my feelings and my questions.
And then it got flirty!
Holy shit, it got flirty!!
It ended with us sending each other morning bathroom selfies in various states of undress in our towels! I’m not sure where that came from, but it’s made me smile all day.
What’s happening here? Is Dr. D back? Will CD and I go out again this week? You guys, all this excitement is enough to make me giddy again…despite my medical situation. I couldn’t be more thrilled!!
Life is getting interesting again and I’m very, very happy today.
