Redemption!

Beamer digs me. Ain't no doubt about it.

While on the drive to The Boathouse, he had his hand on my thigh, and held my hand.

Once there, he was very openly affectionate, by stroking my hair, rubbing my neck and back and nuzzling me.

Way before the band was finished for the evening, he asked if I was ready to go. I was up in the air...is he asking me because he is done with me, or because he wants some "us" time.

It was all about the "us" time, baby.

He was trying to be a gentleman, and was afraid I was being amorous because I had had too much to drink (which I had, but I was feeling frisky before we even confirmed our date tonight, so there you have it.)

So, we were in the tiny beamer, making out like wild cats that needed to be neutered, and he told me I better get going. I asked if he wanted to go back to my car again, and he hesitated. He said again he wanted it to be me saying that and not the Cosmos. I assured him that the Cosmos had worn of an hour again, and I was perfectly aware of what I was doing. He relented eventually. We all knew he would.

So we went to the Santa Fe. He asked if I would come over to his place Tuesday or Thursday, because next weekend he was going to KC, and didn't want to wait 2 weeks to see me. COOL!!!

He kept asking if I would bring my swimsuit for the hot tub. I told him I wasn't sure I could find it, so we joked about what we could do about that. I asked if he had a privacy fence, he does, so I said the suit was optional. hehehe. He was a little shocked, but happy.

So, we had a replay of last Saturday, thing were excellent. He said over and over he would call me Monday. The only problem will be that my friend Mark starts working with me on Monday, and if he hears the conversation, he will never let me live it down. He is probably just jealous, though. But we actually had some deeper level conversation, and we both confided in one another. It was nice.

Oh, and I told him I was living at home, and all he said was, "So we will be spending time at my place and not yours?" I laughed and said that when I have company in the basement, which is refinished, they stayed away. I think he still prefers the idea of going to him place and leaving all elements of my parents out of it. Me, too.

Anyway, it has been a very, very long time since Miss Bethie has a little sumthin'-sumthin', but I think he will be the one. I told him it had been awhile. His last time was 6 months ago before his fiance ran off. We discussed whether or not I was a rebound. He assured me I wasn't. (Of course, so did the art teacher, and we all know how that ended!) But I am feeling confident, and I even went so far to tell him, (or the Cosmos did), that he was both a nice guy and sexy, and that was a rare and valuable combination. He lit up.

So...hopefully there will be another really good update next Thursday, early Friday. He seems very nice, and I like him. Hell, I am a bit smitten. He could be a faker and break my heart, but I refuse to live my life expecting the worst and hoping for the best. I will hope for the best, and know I deserve it!
