~9:30pm Thursday night~
She looked at the clock and decided...
To just take a shower and call it a night,
when not even 10 minutes later, in chimed a message from Rafferty.
"I'm off work, heading home, want to meet up for a drink?"
She looked at the message in disbelief.
But then again,
she knew that when men wanted something, they were very active to get it.
she knew that when men wanted something, they were very active to get it.
On the contrary,
She also knew that when she wanted something, she was sure to get it as well...
She also knew that when she wanted something, she was sure to get it as well...
With that thought in mind,
she thought about what she needed right then and now
and she realized that she hadn't had a beer in a while,
so yes, she could use a few free beers.
Then she thought about the other end of the stick...
Was Rafferty worth getting and giving?
He was a good looking man, she wasn't denying that.
However, this would be her first experience with someone older then herself.
So she was up for the experience.
She text him back,
"Sure, where do you have in mind?"
He mentions not knowing the area too well and asked her to pick a destination.
She figured the closer the better in case the date went really bad and she had to bolt.
So she picked the bar right up the road.
Even though she had to ix-nay on the shower, she still had the common decency to change her outfit into something suitable which represented her personality.
However, when Rafferty shows up, he is in sweats and a tee shirt talking bout how he was just looking to relax.
She had nothing against relaxing, but to her, going to a bar with a chick to relax was not really smart.
She doesn't care though, she's getting her beer and that's kinda all that really mattered.
Three beers into conversation and she learned that Raff was a Taurus, which to her explained the idea of relaxing which he spoke of.
Already she knew the energy was off in that area.
She was a wild child.
She loved to explore and adventure.
She was spontaneous and loved to dance around a fire!
Even if she had to create the fire herself...
She laughed at that thought.
Then by nights end, she realized Raff was just a tad bit too on the serious side.
He didn't really understand her light sense of humor and was offended by her ability to be carefree.
These were all very important aspects of her personality and she was definitely not about to change herself for anyone.
So she closed the date with,
"thank you for the night".
But she knew...
that's all it was,
One Night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two days later,
She is working on her Spanish lesson, when in chimes a text from Tric!
To her surprise, he was up for a little round of let's see what we can do differently.
He mentions to her he is out with a co-worker friend and that he couldn't see her unless she didn't mind the friend watching.
Tric couldn't see her jaw drop to the floor since he was on the other side of the phone, but she was literally in shock...
She regained herself and picked up her jaw off the floor...
She text him back...
"What does your friend look like?"
He sends a picture but to her disgusted surprise, it's definitely not a profile picture.
She couldn't believe her eyes!
What was wrong with men!
Yeeck!!!
So she texts him back with,
"Eewww That doesn't help! I'm a woman, I don't get turned on by that!"
He apologizes respectfully but then goes to add,
"He's bigger then me, I think."
To which she immediately responds,
"No, I was actually thinking how small he really is!"
She never understood that about men...
How they always wanted to compare themselves
and how to them 'big' was not just a word but an ego trip.
And it seemed to her,
that Tric lived in his mind most of the times,
except when he was with her for those few, short, but intense intimate moments.
And that is what drew her to him every single time.
"Are you coming?" He asked.
She felt weird about it,
but had never done anything like it before so decided to just go from her heart in each now moment.
And right now Tric was asking if she was coming...
She replied,
"I'll be there soon."
The rest of the night didn't really go as she had expected.
For one, it was a small car so not much could happen.
And for two...
There was a very weird awkwardness that initiated between Her and Tric.
The whole time it went something like,
"Do you want to?"
"Only if you do"
"umm, no i'm good?
"yeah me too?
And so to make matters easier, she thought to herself...
Oh Jesus! Never mind! Lets just do it and forget he's even here!
And so it went down just like that.
When all was did and done,
The three of them took a moment to regroup.
She sat between the two boys and began the conversation.
She was good at that.
Just 'shooting the Sh*t' as people called it.
But she realized as she was chatting it up with the fresh meat,
Tric made a gesture towards her.
He leaned in and kissed her shoulder and just gave her attention she really never thought was possible.
It definitely threw her off guard.
She was pretty good at owning her independence, but somehow with that one gesture, Tric had stripped her defenseless!
She stopped talking and just leaned towards him, kissed and hugged him.
It was the first time she allowed herself to feel someone else's energy.
And to her surprise, it felt really good.
But of course... Reality always has to kick her in the face...
And reality hit when Tric was dropping her off at her car.
"We got into an arguement", he says to her.
"It was bad, but I don't want to talk about it."
And there it was..
The forbidden fruit.
Kicked back into reality, just like that.
-------------------------------
Two days go by and work is crazy busy.
Her life on the other hand is flowing rather well.
She found a new hobby and was really enjoying her self expression through it.
When...
Out of the blue,
She gets a text message.
"Como Estas"
...
It was C.
