Saturday February 3rd
So today I woke up around 9am, texted Derek to remind him, I know he was staying over Jeff’s honestly I was worrying about him all night because of all those drunk people.
Me: remember to pick me up at 9:30
So, I took a shower and got ready and had a bit of breakfast, no response from Derek. Sigh.
Me: I hope you didn’t forget
Derek: Just got up sorry, heading over now, I’ll make up time by going fast
Well that’s probably true.
Me: K see you soon
When I saw Derek pulled up I went right out and hopped in the car, we were already 5 minutes behind schedule.
“Hey, did you sleep at all?” I asked Derek, he looked really tired.
“Oh yeah a couple of hours, they were all up late partying, it was fun though,” Derek said.
“Really it was fun for you?”
“Yeah you know they are funny and stuff, of course we talked about the Super Bowl, I got a couple of them for sucker bets, though hopefully they will remember.”
“Oh glad you had fun.”
“You didn’t?”
“I don’t know I guess that isn’t my scene” (Guess me and Derek are different)
“Yeah probably not, not sure what you are going to do in college”
“Guess I’ll find friends that don’t party, I mean there is a lot of other stuff to do besides party, it’s not like it’s the middle of nowhere.”
“Yeah that’s why I always wanted to go to a college in the city, I never saw the appeal of the small town college, it’s like there is nothing to do.” (Maybe not that different)
“Yeah”
We picked up Mai, and Derek started telling her about the party yesterday. You know he couldn’t let me talk to her he had to be the one talking. LOL
When we got there it was this kind of this sad depressing place, though the people were really nice. They had all the bingo stuff out for us, thanked us for coming stuff like that. Derek said he wanted to call out the numbers, and I think me and Mai both thought that was a good job for him, you know since he is loud and all.
So, before we started Mai and I passed out the sheets and markers to everyone. Then Derek started calling the numbers, while he was calling them I sat next to him because there wasn’t really much do to unless someone called bingo.
After Derek called the first couple of numbers, he whispered in my ear, “20 bucks the old man in the red sweater wins this round.” (Really you want to bet on old people winning bingo, I thought)
So I whispered back, “I don’t want to bet.”
“You’re no fun, ok I’ll buy lunch if I’m wrong, it’s a free roll.”
“All right” (Might as well, I can’t turn down free food)
So a lady in a pink sweater won, so Derek lost his bet. Then throughout the rest of the games Derek kept on whispering stuff in my ear, usually it would be something he wanted to bet on or a comment about someone, nothing really mean. Seriously a lot of the older people were staring at us.
Then as we were leaving a couple of the residents commented how we were a cute couple.
So my haul in free rolls was lunch today, lunch or dinner another time, 200 shopping spree at the mall (seriously jackpot I picked the right person for this one), movie trip with Derek. (this more of punishment sometimes LOL)
So we dropped off Mai then headed to McDonalds for lunch.
“So do they know you by name here,” I asked Derek.
“A couple of them do,” Derek said.
We got our food; Derek got his normal assortment of different stuff. He really can’t commit to one thing.
“So yeah old people not that perceptive,” I said.
“Huh” Derek said with his mouth part full.
“They all said how cute of a couple we are,” I said. (Ok I kind of wanted to know what Derek thought about this)
Derek looked at me funny then said, “Cute as in looks then I could see that, cute as in whatever the other meaning is not sure, I never understood what that meant.” (Typical Derek sees things in a completely different light, oh yeah we aren’t couple he didn’t mention that, maybe he thinks we are couple, no even he isn’t that dumb, oh wait does he really think I’m cute, or does he think he’s cute probably the later)
“Yeah I don’t know either,” I said. No point in discussing anything with him.
Then Derek started talking about tomorrow, I could tell it was big day for him. He actually said he was going help clean, surprising I know, I offered to help and he said he didn’t want to make me help plus he was going to take like a 6 hour nap then start cleaning.
