Funny thing is that's not how it really started: That WAS our first date but this is how we met.
I had custody of my son, Michael, on Wednesdays and weekends. On the 14th of July a friend of my exs called and asked me to a cook-out. I wasn't too crazy about her, but, since my son had gone to Indiana to visit my sister for a week, I had absolutely nothing to do. At first, I said no thanks, since I didn't really like her and she was a friend of Mikes(the ex), I figured we had nothing to talk about. Well after being bored all day Saturday, I figured, what the hell, Called "Paula" and told her I would be there.
I was the first to arrive and I was trying to help her get it set up. After about 20 minutes David showed up. I thought he was pretty good looking. He set some things on the table that he had brought to the cook-out. He was wearing shorts and me being me, I said " Woo hoo, nice legs!" Well, my ex showed up a little later and I felt kinda odd flirting with this guy when Mike was there too! So, I cooled it a bit.
Anyway, by the end of the day, we all went to a bar that had kareoke(sp?)
"Paula" thought she could sing. Please note "SHE THOUGHT". Oh, and by the way, when you think of "Paula", think "Peg Bundy", Yes, her! So as the evening progressed, David and I hit it off pretty well. He asked me for my ph number and I freaked. Just didn't expect that! I excused myself to go to the restroom and when I got back everyone was leaving. I didn't talk to David again.
Over the next couple of days I thought how stupid I was. All the guy wanted was my ph. number! What can he do over the phone?? So, after a few days, I called Paula and told her that he asked for my # and I had decided I wanted his. This is suppose to be a good friend of hers, you would think she knew it by heart. Well, she told me she would have to find it. I called 3 times that week and every time she gave some bull about not having it.
Well, I read into this as, "She is involved with him!" So, then, I figure, I am not interested in him if he is, has been involved with her. She was a loose woman.
Well, on the following Saturday, the 20th, I was working, delivering my auto parts. Some guys worked out of their homes and I had a delivery on the northwest side of town. Delivered the parts, collected the money and headed back to the shop. The last block before I got back on the highway, there was this guy, stacking yard waste at the curb. It was David!! I stopped and said "David?" I wasn't sure.
He asked me to pull in his drive for a second and I thought ok, I'm gonna give this guy a piece of my mind. Cause, like I said, if he was with Paula, I ain't touching that! That's just what I did too! I said," I am in no way, shape, or form interested in you if you are seeing her."
He told me that she was interested in him, not the other way around. So, anyway, we agreed to meet later that night for a couple of drinks and then our first real date was on my birthday, the following Wednesday.
Between this part and the last part that I posted, that's how we became "we".
