Day 2 in B town started with an aching back and stiff body then ended by Starbucksing in Sanad during the Friday Prayer. We laughed about many things such as the coldness of that town's boys and how short everybody is compared to other places, even the toilet door.
A yummy lunch at her family home and dessert with her mother and stepfather made me realize how horrible it would be to live a lonely life. This is one of my fears: to end up alone. This would simply mean a life unfulfilled. Lord please fulfill these desires. A walk in her neighborhood, made me feel a combination of emotions: gratefulness for being independent, the gratefulness of my lifestyle, gratefulness for my friends and family but desiring to have my own home and family only with a man I love.
With all those rides in L's car, I felt lighter and was fully aware of it. I felt that I was on vacation and it felt good to leave things behind, even if it were for abit.
We passed by a mall, and I ordered Gherkins for the Popper and some condiments for The One (see how he is always on my mind?). Then we went off to a hip cafe to check out the scenes, which were very dull compared to my own city. People there seem to just stare at each other.
We went back to her home to glam up for the evening to hit the town. And where did we end up going to? Why, Trader Vic's, which was much nicer than the ones in my city with a better crowd and that's where the action started.
Since the Ritz Lobby was packed with an older crowd, we decided to head straight to the restaurant.
(I just noticed something: that I have experienced the most romantic spots around the world mostly in my singleton status). Here's to hoping my status changes soon.
So as we were sat down for dinner, I noticed L discretely greeting somebody behind me. So I turned my head around and facing me was a very fair short dude but as I angled my face further I noticed a very very nice Smarties-looking silhouette, that was very tanned. I like the little that I saw and thought wow to myself.
Following a good dinner during which we found out that he worked as the Director to the office of the Foreign Minister, I felt a twinge since I've come across similar high-status personnel in the past such as Agent 009. But let me tell you they are unattainable.
As soon as their dinner ended, he walked the CEOs back to cars and called L to chat. He appeared surprised that we were hybrids, and said he might pass by. Within less than 5 minutes he joined us at the table when we got a celebratory song by the staff and a delicious cake. He chatted very little as is the norm with people holding such positions. Something within reacted differently when I saw his face close-up and realized he isn't all that. Nonetheless I continued socializing and was slowly getting the feeling that: hold on a second, he may actually be interested in me.
None of us could do anything because L informed us that she has had a thing for him since the 90's and he is recently divorced so she is planning on making a move. A bummer for us of course since I wouldn't dare approach a man who is taken in any way. But it is okay. I am sure that there are other fish out there more suited for the rest of us.
Then, a quick tour of the lounge slowed down the pace and made us oggle at the couple across from us who were all over each other. You could so tell their relationship was at its beginnings. We've all been there and been this madly infatuated.
Now here is the interesting bit. After chatting with L whilst we drove home, he suddenly showed up outside her house, past midnight and allowed M to drive his car. He offered me a ride too but I refused vehemently since I do not trust myself driving cars.
Now L, had her doubts about our intentions but I denied them immediately reminding her that he is aware we are leaving the next day. But deep down inside, I sensed all the attention we got was for either me or M.
All in all, a great day much needed from the agony I went through earlier in the week.
Till we meet again,
Sedeso
