I did meet the man that said he was sixty seven and he wasn't. He admitted to seventy five. I have to tell you he looked a lot younger and that was a pleasant surprise. He was tall, 6'3", a full head of grey hair, and big like I prefer. I almost didn't meet him as he was fifteen minutes late showing up at Starbucks.
I waited and then thought, " to bad, he didn't show." I got in my car and drove to Bed Bath and Beyond to buy some Wolfgang Pucks coffee, Breakfast in Bed. My cell phone rang and it was him apologizing all over the place. He said he phone died (he borrowed someones to call me) and his GPS had him running all over the place. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and decided to return to Starbucks to meet him.
I walked in and he was sitting at a table, sans coffee. He was a very masculine looking man and also very chatty. He had retail stores, at one time, in Las Vegas and now was in the real estate business flipping houses. I don't know how that is going for him in this market, but he said he was busy.
He said I was just what he was looking for (God I can't tell you how many men have said that to me) but didn't want a 24/7 relationship. Hallelujah, neither do I. I thought and still think today, that he may be a fill-in when Desi is out of town. It is nice to have someone to go to things with, be it dinner, movie or whatever, that seemed to be what he was looking for, although like every man out there sex was also a subject he brought up. Oh goody, Ha! Just par for the course.
We finished the coffee he had purchased finally after me asking him to buy me a cup, and since we both had other appointments, when we finished our coffee said goodbye. It wasn't a half hour later my cell rang and it was him telling me he really wanted to see me again and even though he was busy he would drop everything to come and meet me. My first impression of not needy was beginning to change. I told him If I wasn't to scheduled I'd call him. I still have a little hesitation about people that live in the retirement community near by. My past experience has not been good with them. I will have to think about this and see if I really want to see him one more time.
The real surprise was Desi. He called me in the afternoon and talked for about forty five minutes, He was still up North a great distance away. He told me he had to be in the Valley area in the morning to meet with some people at the construction site of the shopping center he is building. I went on about my business after I talked to him. He said he thought he would see me Saturday, at around five.
After Desi and I hung up I left because I had a meeting with two women at the Elks. We are trying to attract the younger members and have decided if we had a DJ that played 80's music and offered free baby sitting for their children we might just accomplish that. It was a brain storming session that went very well.
I drove home and stayed in the rest of the night. At 11:30 P.M. the phone rang and it was Desi. He had decided to drive back and was very close to my house....not even near where he lives. He still had his meeting in the morning seventy eight miles away, but wanted to see me. When he called he had been on the road for over four hours. If he wanted to see me that bad I certainly wasn't going to say no. I don't know what it is between us, but he says he feels the same way, so it isn't just one sided. We are way to much alike. Such a mutual attraction.
He left at five thirty A.M. this morning and will be back at five tonight. We are still going dancing and for dinner. He runs on very little sleep and drives the State like his projects are around the corner. Amazing man.
So that was yesterday and tonight will bring something new. Tomorrow is the Luau that Desi may or may not go to. He is doing some honey-do things for me in the morning so we will see if he wants to go with me. I don't want to stay long so he might. Doesn't matter whether he attends the Luau or not, just being together for two days and nights is fine with me. I love my freedom and he loves his. I know people don't understand our relationship, but then they don't have to.
So much fun and then some....more tomorrow.
