Never in a million years…

Wow. That’s all I can say. Earlier this year, I had given up hope on ever being in love again. I just wasn’t going to let it happen! Well, alot changes from February to October! (This is gonna be really long, you don’t have to read it!)

I’m writing everything I can remember, so hopefully I can remember everything! LoL

I met Danny in July. We  were working together on the same project. He does the same job I did in ’05 & ’06, traveling alot. He wasn’t actually working at the store, he was running our warehouse for the project. I remember seeing him at the store one afternoon, it was out back. I asked him if things were wrapped up early over there today and if he had come to help us out there. He said they weren’t wrapped up over there, but he needed to spend the afternoon at the store to see what was going on and stuff. And that was that.

A few weeks later he did end up working with us all day. He & I worked almost side by side all day long. We had fun, cracking jokes, cracking on each other. but definitely getting the job done. I had commented a few times about how I wanted to go to work at the warehouse where he was. He was having some problems over there, and I had done the job before so I thought I could help him out. In retrospect, it’s probably a good thing I never got to go! LoL I did get to go one Saturday though… it was all good.

All of us supervisors went out to supper after work one evening, and Danny showed up there because Mark had invited him. Well, after supper we all went to the pool at the hotel to have some margaritas. It was good times. Everyone had gone up but me, Danny, & Mark. Dawn had come back down because I had offered to let her use my Tide to do her laundry. At that time they were kicking us out of the pool. Mark went upstairs, I went to get the Tide for Dawn, Danny followed me… Dawn would not leave. The three of us stood by the trunk of my car for an hour talking. Finally I said I had to go to bed, and Dawn decided she’d go do her laundry. Danny went back to his condo. (Upon discussing that night with Danny, I told him how someone asked me about what happened when everyone else had gone up and I said "Dawn was running cock blocker" all night… he had said the same exact thing!)

After that night, my nosy (thank god) roommate had it in her head she was going to hook the two of us up. When Wanda gets something in her head, it happens! We all were working at the store one Saturday. I had gone to get a tool or something. Wanda says to Danny "Someone’s got a crush on you". Danny says "Who?". "Marlene". "Well, that’s not a bad thing". "Good, you’re taking her out to dinner next Tuesday". "One problem, we’re working together". Yeah, that was the problem. 

I didn’t even have his phone number, nor did he have mine, and we couldn’t set anything up at work. But, I’m sneaky like that. Frances had come to me Tuesday morning saying that Danny wouldn’t answer the phone when she was calling. (He was having a rough day with work…) I said give me his number, maybe he’ll answer a strange number. So I called, his phone was dead, I left my number. I’m slick like that! LoL Tuesday evening he called me, and we set things up for dinner that night.

We had to be careful. If we were caught both of us would be out of a job. And that would not be good… We met at Ruby Tuesday’s at 9pm for dinner. We talked all the way through dinner. At about 10:30 we went out by our cars and just stood there and talked some more. It was midnight before we left there… after I had given him a good night kiss!

We saw each other at work that week, and talked on the phone that weekend. And the evening after the date we had gotten Danny to the pool with us again. My dumb ass drank too much and ended up getting sick in the trash can… ugh. I can be so dumb sometimes! So we didn’t go out again till the next Monday. We went to Sonny’s. After dinner he asked if he could use my laptop since the internet was out at the condo he was staying at. So I snuck him back to my hotel room at 10:30. Yes, tempting fate I know. He finished up on the computer and we were talking. He mentioned that he was really impressed how the date last week ended.I said "oh, the kiss?". "Yeah…". And, like kids, we sat on the bed and made out. I told him, "I’m sorry it’s the wrong time of the month or we could be having alot more fun". He said "that’s alright, this is good". Again, it was midnight before we parted…

That Friday, after work we drove to Daytona for dinner. We didn’t have to sneak around there. That was the first time it happened: Everytime we were together going somewhere, there would be a rainbow in the sky. Every-time, I shit you not. So, dinner was nice, we got back to town and parked in the Beall’s parking lot. And I do mean "parked". I won’t go into details… but it was midnight before I headed home!

I came back to town a night early and paid for my own room. We had dinner together. We went back to the room and …. It was an amazing night, that’s all I’m gonna say!

We had dinner (or was it drinks… I can’t remember!) again Monday night of the next week, and he left for vacation Tuesday. He was gone for 2 weeks! He had gone home for a few days, then to Myrtle Beach with some friends for a few days after that. He wasn’t supposed to be back at work till Sunday, and they left the beach Thursday. He drove back to town that day and I met him at the bar that night. I snuck him up to my room. We spent the night together. In the morning he left to spend the morning at the beach. I tole my boss I had to go have my car looked at that day, so I left at lunchtime. I met him at the beach, we came back to my place, and spent the weekend together. It was so awesome! He met my friends, my parents, everyone liked him. I knew I sure did!

That Friday was to be the last we’d see each other for awhile. The project was ending, and he had to go home to Virginia. We had planned for me to drive to Virginia to spend a few days. The city decided to fuck all that up. The project was extended another week. I was realeased after Friday though. Danny was staying another week.

That Friday night, I rented the hotel room again. A bunch of us from work went to the bar and got drunk and had a good time. I was officially released from the project so Danny & I didn’t have to hide anymore. It was so much fun. The next day he had to switch condos, but then he came out & spent the weekend with me again. We went to Disney World on Sunday, it was his first time. It was so much fun! The next week I spent Tuesday and Wednesday night with him at his condo.

Thursday a good friend of mine came into town over here. I spent a few days with her. Then Danny came back over here Saturday morning, after things were wrapped up at the store. This was it, our last weekend together. I had to go back to work Sunday night. I made him stay till Monday morning, so he could rest up before driving. Sunday he said the "I love you" words to me. I about melted. I, of course , said them back. It w

as all so surreal.

It’s hard, he’s in VA, I’m in FL. But it can be done. It will be done. I’m going to see him at the end of this month. And I want to surprise him in December for his birthday, but I don’t know if it will happen bacause of Xmas. We’ll see. But I definitely love this man. And I’ve wanted to get out of Florida for awhile now. This will be the fire under my ass to motivate me. If only I didn’t just sign a lease here till the end of June…
