One Date, A Tool & A Funeral (Part 2 of 2)

Continued...

So we are sitting in the car, I’m pissed. I want him to go, I’m tired, and he’s being persistent.

Him: Hey, is that Ben’s Chili bowl? I’ve never eaten there. Have you? Do you wanna go?

Me: It’s alright. I only eat there when I’m drunk. No, I’m tired.

Him: You sure, I’ve never had it.

Me: You mean to tell me, you’ve been here for 10 years and you never went (What a bunch of F’n bull, during the week he told me he hung out in D.C. all the time)

Him: I live in MD

Me: But you’re here every weekend, and you went to school down the street? Where do you live, I’ll drop you off. (I’m frustrated & am not in the mood to argue...)

Him: It’s late, you sure. I can just stay at your place, I’m not gonna do anything...

Me: No.

Him: Well you can stay at my place. I feel bad. I don’t want you on the road this late. You sure you ok to drive?

Me: Yes. I’ll get a red bull.

Him: You can stay at my place. I promise you, I’ll sleep on the floor.

Me: No

During the drive, he asks me if I want to stop at IHOP. He kept saying anything to prolong my agony. I pull through a drive-through. The ride is about 35 minutes. He’s trying to make small talk over my blaring Common CD. I’m trying to drown his voice out. I’m mad at myself for breaking my own rule...no dates on Saturday night. My thoughts drift to Brian, I want to call him, but by this time, it’s shortly after 3am. The only bonus is, he put gas in my truck...not that, that was a super bonus, because I didn’t get home until 4:05am...I was beyond pissed.


Cons: Such Toolery. Taking 3 shots back to back does not impress me. Thinking I'm going to fall for the, "I'll sleep on the floor, I promise" is pure ignorance. Not being man enough to leave at a decent time, or make the proper arrangements, to make sure your grown ass gets home, is major cool points lost... Dressing, like a reject from Tools R Us, is such a turn off...

Suffice it to say, he doesn't get a second chance.



In Other News:

Sunday I was supposed to go on a date with J.B. But after the debacle with James, I didn’t feel like being bothered, so I cancelled. I text’d Brian to see if he wanted to join me. Brian salvaged what was left of my painful, sleep deprived weekend. Tomorrow, I meet his daughter, brother and Mom...

Yesterday, Mr. Henry called me because he wanted something. It’s funny, he was pissed last week, because I wouldn’t do the horizontal dance with him. I didn’t hear from him all week, then he calls me, because he needs a “favor”. I told him about himself and told him I couldn’t help him...I don’t give a fuck if he’s pissed.

Tony text’d me last night, and asked if we are “still friends”.

Something is definitely in the water...

Hott da*n, now that was torture. I would have left his a$$ at the Metro, and say sorry I can't help you, get a cab and loose my number. triffling a$$ negros

Okay wow. I have a lot to say. First of all, you don't sleep past 7am after a drunken night, which drives me crazy when I'm in town by the way :-). Second, the old you would have dropped him off at the metro and told him to wing it. You're getting soft in your old age. Third, I am very proud of the Mr. Henry freeze. Keep it up it, is total inspiration for me.

-P.O.W.-

@ Reign...I know, I kicked myself the next day. He called me 7 I gave him the brush off

@ Tunde - Hell No. I met james a little over a week ago when I was out with Brian...he had potential because he had a passport, could hold a decent conversation, & is ambitious

@P.O.W - I know, I know...I was so tired, I didn't feel like dealing with it. Trust me, I learned my lesson. Blame it on the alcohol I consume with Brian on a weekly basis...it's zapping my Diva skills...

I wake up at 8:30am now, so I'm improving...

and Mr. H, even offered me money to help him...and I turned it down....lol. I'm so over him...

Cheekie said...

Yeah, knew he wasn't that slick. lol

It was nice of you to drive him home, but I feel ya. Anything to get him off your back.

Hmmm, meeting Brian's fam? Should be interesting. You are gonna blog about it, right? Right?? lol

Tunde said...

oh ok. i got you. all well that ends well.

Chaotically Calm said...

Another one bites the dust...meeting the family should be entertaining I anticipate a post about it.

P.S. Virtual high five for not falling into the favor for Mr. Henry!!!

Shawn Smith said...

Ha ha, sounds like a date that I had at one time that didn't want me to take her home. She tried every excuse to grabbing a hold of the back of my pants to keep me from leaving.

BlkBond said...

Thanks for the love in my time away.
Man, you are meeting some BAMAS. The new guy search needs a revamp.

Bond. BlkBond.

@ Chao - I haven't fallen for Mr. H in a loooong time...I'm just tired of him... (hi-five, right back!)

@ Shawn - I'm sure that was such a turn off right?

@Bond - That's the thing, he started off with "promise", you know...the whole, he's in grad school, has a passport, speaks a second, language....but then he crashed & burned...oh well. Glad it only took a week for his true colors to shine!!! On to the next
