" good morning did you get any sleep"
Yeah. Waking up to that blew a hole through my bad mood. I knew she had stayed up late so she sent it after I went to bed but before I woke up. Her being asleep at this time, I didn't reply yet. I wanted to wait until I could just talk to her again. I felt better but I was just itching and burning to talk.
I got dressed and walked into the kitchen where I actually had prepared a lunch. This was extremely rare as I ate hartz chicken with my buddy Joey at work everyday. I grabbed my breakfast tacos and walked out the door.
If you work outside you just learn weather, and brother today was going to be perfect.
September heat but a breeze was coming. Hallelujah.
When I turned my key over in my truck I was greeted with last nights Badflower, only now it was a soothing peaceful brain massage. My paycheck had hit at 4:30 and lord have mercy I had some overtime baby. I'm ready speghetti.
I made up my mind the second my feet hit the white rock of the plant that my ass is going home early. Fuck all this. Waiting all day for tonight was not the move. I'm gonna play video games or something.
I worked til 10 and when I knew she was awake I checked my phone to find she wanted me to dress her for our meetup. She knew how much I loved clothes and I knew this had to be on purpose! I asked her to wear ripped jeans and a black T shirt with a choker to accent it. She didn't know this but I was going to match her because I'm gay like that.
I turned to my boss and told him with a straight face "I have gay space aids and I need to leave immediately" if I told him the real reason I'd look like a scrub at my job. Besides I hadn't taken a day off in 6 months working 6 12s and on call for Sunday. Fuckem. I hit that gate like a bat out of hell.
As soon as I governed out my truck freebird came on and I felt true joy. My head and arms flailed wildly expressing the feelings that you can't name when you are at your best high.
On my way home I decided not to tell her I was off work. I didn't want to tell her I needed a haircut and to clean my truck cause she might think I was doing it just for her. I was though.
I must've went through 5 outfits to match her when she texted to let me know that she changed anyways. Oh hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahhhahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahhahahha.
I settled on a classic fit, waxed my boots, and called my brother to confirm the time to meet up. I stripped down and showered again just to make sure I smelled good. You know, for my friend.
I asked her where to meet and she sent me the gas station she chose. All I had to do was wait til 2:45 and meet her at 3:00.
Leaving out the door all sauced up and smelling good, ny father asked me if I was going on a date with "that girl". I told him we're going to see a movie with my brother and we're just friends. Can you believe that they laughed directly in my face? The audacity of them to think that an angel like that would want someone like me.
I approached the gas station at 2:15 just to make sure I wasn't late. I might have been in my head a little bit. I played kid rocks " picture" on low and laid my head back trying to relax. I heard about a thousand quick slaps against my passenger window. The next second is burned into my memory forever.
A pale face carved from marble draped with dark full hair. Cheeks flushed red met my eyes. That perfect nose wrinkled. Oh god and when I saw the eyes my whole soul disappeared into the pools of honey I met, full of joy and happiness. I see those eyes in my dreams every night since. I still see Christmas in her eyes. At that moment I knew I was undoubtedly and head over heels in love with her. The kind of love that you would sacrifice heaven for. I wanted to look at those d neyes for the rest of my life.
