Goldie's Date

I am back from the wilderness otherwise known as "camping" to some people. It was definitely an experience, the relaxation and company was nice to have for an entire 4 days. Unfortunately you can take the girl out of the city, but not the city out of the girl. The battery on my phone kept dying, I hardly had a signal and I spent nights on the camp grounds texting "smoking hot guy" for updates on my cats. Luckily, he was taking good care of them and I felt at ease. Monday morning rolls around, we leave the campsite and the first purchase of the morning is Starbucks coffee. I needed caffeine for the long drive home.

As I'm racing down all the freeways, making my way to the west side. I can hardly contain myself as I dial "smoking hot guy's" phone number to let him know I'm on my way. I arrive to my destination, freshly showered and perfumed ready to meet him at the door. Of course he answers the door in a scruffy beard, wearing cargo pants and a collared shirt looking hot as ever! I'm trying not to jump out of my skin as he compliments me on my outfit. I'm expecting him to just hand me my keys and parking pass so I can be on my merry way. Hold on for this one people.....he invites me in to meet his cat and introduces me to his MOM!!!

I totally wasn't expecting that one at all! So I listen carefully to how he introduces me to his Mom to see if it is a big deal to him. I was thinking okay we are just friends, his mom is over vacuuming his apartment (which is kinda weird) she didn't really look up too long from what she was cleaning to say hello. No biggie right? Well, he didn't say "Mom this is my friend" He said "Mom this is...." and then my name. I didn't think anything of it because I won't allow myself to make conclusions. "Smoking hot guy" and I moved our conversation to the kitchen, I continued to cuddle his cat as he elaborated on how much he likes my female cat. He says she is welcome over at his place for a play date anytime. So I throw the ball right back at him and say..."sure let me know when". Was this his move? I thought to myself....apparently it was.

A couple days later we run into each other and start talking about what's new. He complimented me on my glass ring, I told him I like glass jewelry and he says to me "then you must like topaz right"? Is he seriously shopping for me in his head already? That's a little to premature to assume right? Anything is possible at this point. So I mentioned I started playing soccer on an all girls team. He says to me "be careful it's a rough sport, don't you have to use your chest a lot"? "Be careful with your chest!" All this time I thought he was a hip or butt guy, turns out he's a boob guy! I had it wrong all along! Don't worry "smoking hot guy" the girls are locked and loaded while I'm playing soccer. Nothing to worry about.

All of a sudden we get on the subject of my cats again, he mentions how he wants to adopt Goldie (my female cat). And FINALLY he makes the date! Sunday 9pm I have a play date with his cat. I cannot wait! I hope something blog worthy happens. And it was all because of a cat, I can tell he is feeling braver, maybe next time there will be a real date?
