Lunch with Len :)

 Diary,

Today I had lunch with Len, but, let me start at the beginning.

Last night I called Len and left a message saying something like, "Hey Len! Its Brett. if you don’t have any plans, was wondering if you wanted to get dinner and maybe see a movie. And about lunch tomorrow. Give me a call back. Im looking forward to seeing you."

That was at 5:15pm. I know it was 5:15pm because I was gonna try calling him at 5:30 BUT I COULDN"T WAIT!

I got a text a few hours later saying, "Hey got your message. With family tonight; movies. I’ll text u later to see about tomorrow afternoon."

Since Len wasn’t free that evening, my cousin (13) wanted to go see Harry Potter. I agreed and we saw it in 3D at 10:10pm. It was WAY better than part one.

I set my alarm for 9am, thinking Len would text by then. Nope 🙁 So I went back to bed. I woke up at 11am and saw Len text me at 10am. Here is our conversation:

Len: Good morning! What time were you thinking of meeting up for lunch? And where?

Me: Hey 🙂 I’m free when you are. Maybe 1? Do you like dim sum?

Len: Where at? Lol

Me: Ming Dynasty. 1551 Eubank Blvd.

Len: Sounds good.

…

12:30 sound good?

Me: Okay 🙂 12:30 sounds good.

Len: See u then;-)

I barely had time to shower, get ready, and head to lunch, but, I took it as a great sign that he wanted to get lunch sooner 😀 We chatted about a few different things and ate. I found it enjoyable and I hope he did too. He bought a dog, just a couple days ago. He asked about what was new in my life and I told him my cousin’s son came to live with us and my aunts broke up. I kind of left out the fact that Tammy shot herself because I didn’t want to bring my drama into it just meeting him again after these years. He said he was a little surprised I contacted him after all this time and I told him when we dated i wasn’t looking for much and, leaving much detail out, I told him when my ex and I broke up it made me realize I want more out of a relationship. I was talking to Rachel about it and his name came up, so I reread diary entries about him and thought I would get in contact. After, there was that long, after-date hug where you try to feel each others bodies 🙂 On the drive to Rachel’s I text him:

Me: Thanks for having lunch with me! I had a lot of fun and look forward to hanging out again 🙂

Len: Likewise;-)

 I’m debating if I should ask if he wants to get dinner tomorrow or maybe take his dog for a talk or to a dog park. Is that me pushing too much or not? I’m not sure. I suppose there is no harm in asking.

Sincerely,
