True Life

An Answered Prayer

I was on hiatus for a little while, thought I would give myself a break because I just couldn't get this reationship thing right. I guess it's true what they say, when you aren't looking a good man will find you.

I meet K at a local bar. I was with four women in my Master's program having drinks and talking. As we sat at the bar laughing at all the drunk people dance themselves into the late night I stared into the club looking at the only two tall men in there and K just happened to be one of them; I brushed it off and got another drink. After a few drinks we all got up to dance and get sweaty because by that time it was packed. I did my I don't want to mess my hair up two-step and I even danced with a few guys. But I gave up, everyone dancing with me was like 5'5", and went back to the bar and cooled off. At this point with no good dance prospects and it getting late I was ready to go but of course this was the night I didn't drive and no one else was ready to leave. So, I sat at the bar.

K approached the bar as if to get himself another beer but I could see that the beer in his hand was still half full ( maybe a good sign). He asked me what I was drinking and why I stopped dancing (hmmm...He was watching me). He introduced himself asked if he could get me a drink, which I replied no thank you to, then he preceded to talk to me; he happened to have a good since of humor and he was 6'5" that's always a plus. I gave him my number and took his, but I wasn't going to call. He was leaving with his boys, who now I know as M and L, both very cool.

He called two days later and asked to take me on a date. We had lunch, fish fry to be exact, it was good and he looked sexy as hell; tall, dark skin, muscular, and well cut. We talked on the phone after that a few more times. Then I got the flu and this man took care of me. Picked me up took me to get medicine, brought me soup and dinner, rubbed vicks on my back, and the whole time was a real gentlemen. We continued to talk on the phone every day and went on some more dates. I go to all of his games; I wouldn't be me if he didn't play a sport (arena football). We do dinner with the team, their wives and girlfriends and then out partying with them. I always have a good time and now we do it every home game Saturday.

Things are going great. He is so kind, personable and giving. He reminds me all the time how special I am to him and how I make him feel. Our meeting was an answered prayer at at time I had given up on finding anyone.

Let's see what the future has in store.
