Today is the 1st day of an unplanned vacation so to speak. I am still in going to work mode which is a good thing. I made the my future women had a hearty breakfast and even had the golden opportunity to sit with them while they ate. I must admit that it was a little strange. Now, it is just me and Tag sitting here looking at each other like we're both aliens. I decied that I catch up on my friend's blogs since I was not able to do so with the net being down. While I was reading, I get a phone call. I am trying to figure out who is this calling me. The man is not really sure if he is me so he is fishing to authenicate my voice. I stay cool and not mouth off like I normally do. The more and more he talks, the less clues I have to go on as to his identity. He asked about the girls well being then my clues became 0 to 3 in 2 secs. Still I was cordijal I answered they are fine. I knew that this man was someone that knew me very well. But I still could not place the voice with a name. Damn this frazzled mind of mine!!!!! Oooooook, I need more info. Who is this masked man? Hmmmmm. I closed my eyes while he talked just to focus on his voice. He said a very important clue. He told me that he missed seeing me at church last sunday. I know instantly who the masked man was.
***** Background Info on Masked Man*********
I met him 2 years ago online while I was deployed. We talked and discovered that we knew the same people and went to same the church. He was going through a divorce then while I was still comtemplating one. The divorce issue we never talked about it in our conversations. It was mainly mostly about his daughters giving him the blues. I am still laughing at some of things he was going through with his girls.At the end of my tour in Europe,we sort of lost track of each other. I did not see him at church either for maybe a couple of months. Then I saw him again at church at the beginning of the year. He knew all about Clueless ways even though they knew each other. We limited our time talking to just chatting at church. To catch up on each other's current events.
********End of background Info*********
He asked me if I had plans this weekend. I almost choked in disbelief of what I am hearing. I told him not that I can think of. He wanted to if the girls and I would accompany him to a movie. I said that I would but the girls already had plans. He laughed and made a comment about my girls being little social lites cupcakes. I asked him what movie was he planning seeing. He was that he was not sure. Then there was this akward silence thing going on for maybe about a minute or 2. He finally said I know that you might be ready to date or anything like that. There is no pressure to make it into a date either. You know you and have hung out before back in the day. I smiled and siad yeah man I know this. He said good then there is no reason for either of us to be uptight. I siad you're right. He told me that I could pick the place to eat and be prepared to see more than 1 movie. So Saturday at 2 was the time. We said our good byes. I continued on with my reading then it hit me like a ton bricks Heeeeeeeeeelllllllllooooooo girlfriend, you've got a date????!!!!!!??????? Oh, God! What have you done?!!!! Why did I even say yes?! Oh, shit!!!!!! shit!!!!!shit!!!!! What have you done this time,Nubian.
