Okay, I type slow but not that slow but not this slow. I had some things to do. 😆 🤣 well, here it goes.
I want to say this was sometime around early 2021. We just started opening back up down here and I was driving just to feel somewhat normal again. It was good to interact with people again but it was nerve wracking at the same time.
I'm out driving and it was really busy, and I got a lyft request, had a $30 or something bonus attached so I took it. The picture was a woman in a short dress. It stuck out because it was a posed full body picture rather than just a face close up. Those tiny pictures don't really show much but it obviously did stand out. I didn't think to enlarge it at the time, I was more concerned with taking advantage of the very generous surges going on.
I get to the bar/club and waited, she texted and said she's on the way and please don't leave. There was a ton of people there outside on the patio and parking lot. The drop off address looked to be just a few miles away, so with the bonus I was more patient than usual. I was getting ready to cancel so I called her. She answered and appeared out of the crowd. She jumped in, no mask, and was apologetic and thanked me repeatedly. Then she leaned forward between the seats and kissed me on the cheek and told me I was her savior. Then apologized again and was looking for her mask. Eventually I told her not to worry about the mask and probably took mine off too, or did shortly after. When I started the trip, it was 30+ minutes away. Wtf? Similar street different town. I was kinda pissed at myself for not canceling but at least she was engaging and funny. It wasn't too long before I was over being irritated. We talked for a bit, I asked her what I saved her from.
The boys! She explained that it was her 1st time out since lock down and the boys were giving her a lot of attention. I said something like that can't be unusual and she must be used to it. She said she likes men not boys. That after so long she didn't want to settle for a boy and if she stayed much longer, or drank much more that's what would happen.
Now, in retrospect, I suppose she was being very flirty. She moved to the middle seat and was leaning forward, she was very touchy feely when she talked, and telling me how much she liked older men. When I'm driving, especially at night I go into dad mode, I don't ever want to be that creepy old guy, so I didn't really pick up on it. I did but I didn't, I convinced myself it was nothing. She didn't want to go home and asked if if have a drink somewhere, I said I couldn't.
It was a fun conversation, and she was funny. She asked if her profile picture was too trashy. I said I didn't think it was trash at all, it looked like a nice dress. She laughed and showed me the picture on her phone along with several others that were taken at the same time. 😆 🤣 it wasn't a dress, It was her in lingerie or an open top and underwear I don’t remember exactly, but it definitely wasn't a dress. I'm pretty sure I screen shot it, I'll look later.
As we were getting close to the drop she asked again if I'd go have a drink with her, I declined again but I was not nearly as opposed as I was earlier. I probably would have had she asked again.
Then she asked if I could stop at the liquor store. I did, and remember watching her walk towards the store. I was trying to decide if I should ask for her number or if I should just drop and go. Was she seriously hitting on or what the hell was going on.
When she came back she got in the front seat. She made a comment or three about me making her drink alone. Going to a bar is one thing, going in some woman's house at 1am is a whole other story. She had mentioned having two drinks earlier and was feeling good. I didn't think she was drunk by a long shot but I just didn't want to be that guy. We talked for a few minutes in her driveway. She asked one more time if I was sure I didn't want to have a drink with her.
I explained myself and told her she should take my number and text me another time if she was still interested and that I would definitely be open to getting together another time. That I just wouldn't feel right about it thos way. She took my phone and texted herself and texted me back from her phone. I told her that I enjoyed the ride and her company and thanked her giving me a little piece of normalness and that I hoped to hear from her.
She told me it was really sweet of me to not want to take advantage if the situation but wasn't necessary. Then she kissed me. Full. On. The. Mouth.
Then she said something like, "I want you to think about something too, and you can call me another tine if you're still interested." Then, she took my hand and put it on her, on her, him!
Then she, he, slowly got out of my car and I swear she was humming lo la Lola.
I played Lola on the way home, it just sounded different than it had the umpteen million times I'd heard it prior.
So much for "normal."
