With my charming sweet thoughts and gentle smile, I gently took a sip of my water as I was getting to know someone. This man, whom I met a few days ago, decided we should have some scrumtuous food and thirst-quenching drinks. As I get comftble, with the football game on, as the restaurant hustle and bustle rang in my ear, I saw a guy came in the door. with my seat facing the huge entrance of the restaurant, I immediately recognized the tall build of a man I knew.
As I was trying to hold my breath while my jaw dropped, and my heart almost jumping out of my chest, I pondered 'oh my god.' it was him. The guy my heart has been longing for. The guy whom my emotions have been on the edge with. Hanging. As my nerves took over me, tthe guy I've been trying to get to know, mutters, 'did you see someone? Like an exboyfriend?'
as I lied my way and fabricated an alibi, I immediately responded 'no, it has nothing to do with me, but it's too juicy for my friend.' he believed me, and as the tall man walked around the bar, I noticed.. A woman.
They made their way round the rectangle shaped bar, where on one end I sat. Fate then decided that the host gave them the table about four tables behind me, to the left, next to the little alley. As if seeing him ( plus one ) wasn't bad enough, I can actually see him right in the corner of my left eye. Great. Just great.
I played it cool with the guy I'm next to. Completely acted normal, bringing up intelligent talks and queries as we're trying to get to know each other. As the night passed I cannot take the image off my mind: him and another woman. The same place at the same time with me and another man.
It could be a casual thing. But I wouldn't know. I know for sure I'm only casually on a date with this guy I'm next to, but what if he's actually trying to date the girl he's having dinner with? But.. What if not?
I don't know what is weirder. The fact that we both are intimate and we have been seeing each other non exclusively, or the fact that we both are on different dates at the same time and place. In a way it makes us even. But, the only thing is, this doesn't give me a closure. I do not know for sure.
Tonight def marks a book worthy story. I thought this only happens in movies or in reality shows like The Hills. But regardless of thousands of restaurants and 6 milion people in LA, i happen to run into the man and along with the situation were unexpected packages. Maybe fate decided to step in and play it's little role. The bad thing is, I don't know what fate was trying to tell me...
