the weekend
Over the past weekend I had the chance to hang out with Erik, visit the Garfield Park Conservatory, see Boy Culture and visit with good friends.
Busy busy.
Right in the middle of it all, he (yes, the infamous ‘he’) and I swapped a few text messages. Quite a few actually. Mostly chit-chat about this and that. No answers, no more questions, but I feel better about things. Much better.
On Sunday after recording with my friend/boss Troy, we headed out to eat at Koryo, a delish Korean spot in Lakeview. After lunch we stopped into the Bed, Bath, and Beyond to pick up a tv stand that I’d been eyeing for a week now.
As I approached the checkout, a handsome boy called me over to his register. He spat out a question “Why are you buying this??”
I think I blinked twice and still couldn’t answer.
“I’m kidding, will this be all?” he joked. Immediately I knew he was flirting.
“Well, this one has sort of a ding on it, but I still want it” I replied.
“A ding, but no dong. Huh.” he flirted more. Did he really just say ‘dong’?
At that point Troy stepped away from the register and when he said the total, I handed him my credit card and ID. He seemed to feel the need to scrutinize it, because he said my name and slowly sounded out my last name.
He said “Here you go. Sign this for me.” in the most dripping sickly-sweet way. His flames were on high and he was flirting with me really hard.
“Thanks. Have a good day” I said.
He finished with “You too. Have a really great weekend. See you soon.”
Now, normally I’m on the prowl 24/7 and would have gladly given into him. But a couple things stood in the way. I’ll not go into detail here about them, but I think you get the picture.
It was nice to be the target of someone’s flirting tho. I think I’ll have to get back to that store soon.
