I've got some side projects started in my life .. things I never thought I'd have the courage to engage in or explore . I'm old i'm 34 .. I'm still growing and learning .. This is my attempt at releasing some built up things in a positive creative manner. This is also a way of letting go of the past.
Please just don't criticize how whack it might be too much.
I mean it had been years , and the event originally meant to be of no significance, well has burned into some lobe of my brain. I mean it wasn't decades , but we made it a year, and that is plenty of time to make long term memories.
I wasn't here by complete choice , although at my age not claiming responsibility would be childish . I wasn't directly responsible for winding up at this particular destination, but I always followed the cliche saying "everything for a reason.". I mean after all what's a couple of months in a state where Ranch dressing is a topping for everything and Mtn Dew is the biggest addiction next to crystal meth .
I had plans , I mean I couldn't stay in a small town , I had dreams, and after all I was made to be a part of the big apple permanently . I mean I had spent the past five years doing open mics at dive bars and casinos . I mean when I wasn't doing security listening to college junior girls cry about flushing their flip flops in the ocean , or drunk frat boys use the terminology "bruh" while slapping each other in their chest , and I wasn't prepping preparing and expo'g enough food to feed Ghengis Kahn's armies for a season .. I was making the two hour drive every chance to make ppl laugh . I loved seeing people happy . I learned to love seeing you happy .
I didn't know you yet . I didn't move here for you . I wasn't in the market for you , hell I wasn't in the market for anything . (unless it was ranch dressing)
I remember healing up sooner than planned . I felt reborn . I mean after all it's not every New year's eve you get hit by a drunk driver in broad daylight leaving you in a ditch . I was whatever .. lucky, a miracle , nevertheless I could always use some side money . New york is no cheap date after all .
I remember walking in that day to apply for the position, I wasn't nervous about being hired . I mean the experience was a given in the resume , I was more worried when they saw the application and looked up , that I wasn't getting the job . I mean after all I clearly didn't look like a Brittany more like a fucking bubba -_- .
I got it , I got it and from that first night , I knew something intense would form a domino effect. I mean I couldn't read minds , and I couldn't predict the future , but you came up to me and I forgot every letter and every word possible in the English language.
You spoke up to save us both an awkward moment " I hope you stick around , you seem like a good fit . "
You were cute, I mean no harm in looking right ? I knew after all you weren't into me psshh girls schmirls .
You asked if I had a number to call in case ,your shift was ever short staffed , but I didn't realize till after the exchange .. you had access to that after all it was posted in the book with everyone else's .
A couple of days had gone by , and then you randomly sent a simple "hey , can't wait to work together tonight ."
You were so nice , that southern twang didn't hurt either.
Those next two weeks were cool . I had a friend down here . I mean I didn't plan to . I didn't want to . There couldn't be any downfall though right .
You knew of my plans. I knew hardly anything of you except that you were going through a divorce .
I remember that next week . The week that started this emotional rollercoaster about to ensue . You had come up to me and suggested hanging out off the clock . I had wanted to . I wanted to know you . I didn't want to love you . I just liked the idea of you around as an acquaintance.
I got so excited . You got nervous . I get it .. I mean I didn't but I do now .. I was something, exciting a change in a town where you were rotting .. I was like a fresh breath of air. I knew though that I wasn't an idea that fit in here in the same little town that banned a Disney movie from playing at local theaters because the candle stick came off a little offensive , I knew it would be a unique situation no matter the case .
You bailed. You apologized , you had reasons , I got it . We were friends and that was good enough. The night came you would remember , that night was the second worst of the two we would have. You were in the front of the house . I was stuck on a grill in a scorching day in August with no AC in a Alabama kitchen .
You started talking about desires . You exposed your personal bedroom thoughts a little. I was shocked but I could never hint my curiosity . You were my boss after all . We were friends , but you were an authority figure.
I always had issues with authority , but I respected our balance .
I did until you fell off , work became just work ,I wasn't sure why , but that's okay cause we were just friends .
You got upset , my attention drifted a little , I guess you still wanted it , but we were both in a state of confusion , you made some comments about how you were happy to be getting divorced ,but God you would miss the sex. I don't know what happened, but I didn't care , I brushed you off , we were friends but this train wasn't stopping at my station to unload it's baggage. I said "have a great day " and proceeded to leave besides being over smelling like ribs every damn day & getting heat stroke , I didn't know how to dance to your beat .
You got so mad ,we were so short staffed , and as I reached that door ,you had to utter something loud and clear enough to get to me , that's all it took hearing " I guess I suck at trying to flirt and scheduling." I wasn't staying because I liked you , I rather wanted to smother you with a pillow at this point ,but I felt bad , and, sometimes we have breakdowns .
The next week changed everything , it was different , you had wrote me a detailed text with apologies, and explanations , you wanted to explain all these things that you didn't have to , I remember this week especially , because once again on a Friday night you were short staffed ,only this time every fucker but me and you apparently got sick (because god you sucked at hiring good help) . I never thought that night would end and we got our asses kicked .
That night though , I remember all the built up tension , I remember every time we passed each other, I remember the way your shirt hugged your curves , and I remember how you smelled like a mixture of Berries and apple pie . The way we caught each other mid glances , how hard it was to stay focused . I remember we had 30 minutes to go , we were already at 3am and well past the time we should have left . I remember you taking off your management shirt . You in a black tank top with your hair in a messy bun was sexy enough to me . Your little glasses accentuating your cute little nose , and your breast , completely covered, contained tightly as if any sudden movement would cause them to storm the beaches of Normandy .
I remember grabbing stock for the next day , and seeing the whipped cream , yea whipped cream , taste good off so many surfaces . I knew I wouldn't be able to completely eat this whipped cream the way I wanted to , but I could have fun . I remember walking up behind you hand full of this whipped substance , and catching you at almost the right moment , I say almost because as I rubbed it across your face , your tongue seemed to have mistaken my ring finger for a treat and removed said cream from my finger in a very non management manner.
I say it was August so it was hot already , but now it was 10,000 degrees in my body , how had I not spontaneously combusted ? You wanted to hang out after we left work , I was speechless , and a wuss .
The next day came , we were catching each other lookwise , alot , but with increased length . I mean nothing big, we were just friends , friends who worked together, just friends .
The thing was friends wasn't going to last as a title for us , you had an idea about the extra part of friendly benefits .
We sat in my parking lot that night , my parents inside , I felt like a friggin teenager who snuck out lol , but I knew it would be an awkward story , and I was terrible at story telling .
The conversation was intense , but the energy was even more intense , If you were a snake you could have bit me in the face , because my dumb ass was still oblivious to the fact that you were flirting .
I mean I wanted to believe it , but I had hopes , and I refused to get them up .
You had leaned in , you had taken off your glasses , and you kept putting this loose hair behind your ear, Welp, I thought it's 3am , as I reached over to give you a fist bump , and you seemed shocked that I couldn't tell that you wanted to perhaps exchange oxygen from one pair of lips to another.
THIS .. This night was the night .. tensions were so damn high . I couldn't stand it , I needed a five minute break .
I went outside to sit down , I needed a smoke and 5 minutes to listen to some song that would compliment my current predicament.
You came out , and sat down next to me. You were all of a sudden bashful , and red as a tomato, you were blushing.. no no you were hot but only because of the working conditions .
You were blushing , because then you said it , you asked it , maybe you demanded it . You said "You ever going to kiss me , or is that not a thing I should be hopeful for ."
Should I continue ?
