weird date tonight. Kind of fun though. Beaker came to pick me up. We went to the wharf. He figured out my favorite place (musee mecannique) but it was closed so we had to go pier 39 (?) where they have an arcade. We planned on playing skeeball, basketball, etc–loser has to play dance dance revolution.
God I totally killed him at every single game (except air hockey). In basketball, I beat him 48 to 24 for the most crushing defeat ever. So awesome. I had like 90 tickets come out after that one.
We had fun goofing around and I had fun stealing all the tickets that he won. At the end, we turned in our tickets (I had 80, he had 38) for one of those plastic animal heads on a stick toys where you pull a trigger and make the mouth chomp. We only had enough for one–a parrot–which I named Beaker. We stopped to see the sea lions and I kept annoying Beaker w/the chomping toy beaker…so much so that Beaker went into one of the shops on the wharf and bough a shark version of the toy that he named DX.
He wanted to get drinks, but I voted for this weird and cute dessert place in my old neighborhood (sniff sniff) called creations. He loved it.
Then he dropped me off…and as I was getting out of the car, he asked if I wanted to go out again. I paused for a really long time and said, “maybe if you dance dance dance revolution.” He said he wasn’t going to do it, so I said that I guess we couldn’t go out. Then he asked me to contact him if I wanted to do something, and I said, “well, why don’t you go on your date tomorrow, and whatever you end up doing w/this other girl, we can do together on our next date.” He kind of looked at me like, “there IS no other girl, and I think I just fucked this up by saying that” and I just gave him this look of satisfaction.
All night long he had been sort of hinting at the fact that he was dating other girls. When we were at Creations, he said, “oh, well I guess I’ll take my date here tomorrow.” God, please. Totally trying to see my reaction. But like Im going to give any emotion away. So I said, “thats an awesome idea, you have a great date planned then.” He seemed kind of disappointed by my reaction.
So fast forward to the end of the date–we are in the car, Im half out of the car. He brings up going out, I bring up his “date” tomorrow and he says, “yeah, but I’d rather go out with you.” And I, of course, being the ass that I am, asked, “why?” He just kind of looked at me (god i would hate to be him) and he said he didn’t know, just did, and then I mustve said some more sarcastic crap, but I think we agreed to some vague date in the future.
As I got out of the car, Beaker asked me for one of the chomping toys, and I said that if he wanted it, he would have to come get it. Which of course meant he was chasing me (literally) while I fumbled w/my keys to get in the door. It was funny though bc i really could not get my keys in the door bc i was laughing so hard. Then he came up behind me and tried to grab the chomping toys, but of course he couldnt get them. At that point, I had the door open and was in the safe zone. As Beaker said, “well i guess youre safe now bc I dont really think it would be a good idea to chase you into your hallway.” So we kind of stood there, staring, and then he reached out to hug me, but my footing was kind of unstable, so i sort of fell towards him while we sorta hugged, and then he kissed me.
well, what i mean by ‘kiss’ is that he kissed me on the cheek. I’m not sure if he meant to kiss me on the cheek or if he tried to kiss me on my lips but bc i was sorta falling he missed. Whatever it was, I was actually pretty shocked he went for it. Totally did not expect it at all, but I guess it also wasn’t entirely out of place. After he pulled away, I totally fell, and then beaker was scrambling to keep me standing up. totally awkward.
I said goodbye and he kind of lingered by the doorway, and I lingered being all coy. I thanked him for ice cream etc and he said, “of course” and then that was it.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
