Friday date with Mike

I had a hard day at work Friday. I was readdddy for some fun!

I parked at Mike’s place. He was already out at the bar, I was a little late getting down there. I ubered over. He offered to get my uber, but I was capable of getting my own. I met him at Bingo again. Brent was there – a friend I met last week. Otherwise it was new faces at our table. Mike won a round of bingo – again LOL! He is lucky. He joked that I was his good luck because normally he doesn’t win.

After Bingo, he and I went our own way again. We stopped that the NY-BOS bar again. Yankees and Red Sox were both playing – not each other this time. Of course, this is the night that the Red Sox got absolutely annihilated 28-5. It was mortifying! And the Yankees won their game. Of course. It was fun, nonetheless. It was rainy. We tried to bar hop in-between downpours. We got caught in one small microburst. Many of the bars in the area have patio music that is amplified into the streets. I don’t know how it started, but we literally danced together in the rain from one bar to the next as the sky let loose. It was whimsical and silly. We laughed as we danced. I looked up at one point and a lady had her camera phone pointed towards us, seemingly recording us dancing. I didn’t even care. I just continued to laugh as we frolicked in the rain. I despise the rain, but I loved that moment. I don’t think I could even try to recreate the magic of it again. It was so spontaneous. A perfect random moment.

At the 3rd bar we talked inside for a bit. Mike asked me if I thought I would have as much fun with him as I did. I said “No.” Unequivocally, no. I didn’t think he would be boring, but he is a special kind of fun. I lose sense of obligation and let lose. I don’t care what others think. I just am. I live in the moment. I turned the question around and asked him the same about me. He was quick to say the same “Absolutely not!” He admitted he wasn’t sure about me before we met. He thought there was a decent chance I was going to be uptight and boring. He said he was VERY pleasantly surprised.

We talked about expectations. He is looking to have fun, but that doesn’t mean, just a one night stand. Necessarily. He could. But, he would rather meet someone he can have fun with. More than once. Without labeling it. Without expectations. Like we were doing. I am very  much here for that.

We toured the same 4 bars as last week. I drank a lot more. I think I needed it after my work day. I also felt more uninhibited, I trusted him. We went back to his place. We walked Roxy. And then we had a very fun evening.

I had to get up early to head home so I could take a weekend trip with my nephews.

Eric requested that I call him on my drive home – even though he was still in Cali and it was only 4AM his time! But, he answered like he said he would. And we talked for a couple hours. About everything. He wanted details of my night. I realized I was slower to share this time. With all the progress he and I made the week prior, I was less inclined to share – more protective of his feelings. On Sunday, he told me that he didn’t want me to feel that way. He said he learns a lot about my desires when I share. He has enjoyed learning about what I do with Mike and he’s okay with hearing it. I liked that green light to tell him more. We have become so comfortable sharing our  day to day, our fantasies, our desires. I feel like we have grown so much closer in just a week’s time – and I didn’t expect that.
