SingleGirl: Take Home Chef
Posted by SingleGirl - 09/08/10 at 08:08 am
So it was date number 4 this weekend with Jock Boy but who’s counting?
(Um, I am. I am counting every date, call, email, text, and just about every heart flutter in between).
On this date, I followed through on a promise to cook for him at his house. His house has a huge gorgeous and totally unused kitchen. So the date starts off in the supermarket with me combing the crowded aisles trying to find the necessary items in an unfamiliar supermarket while he follows along quietly behind me. I feel inept and jittery. He tells me I’m doing fine. Minor blunder at the fish counter when they do not have any fish that I know or recognize and we end up with something random. Gourmet olives are also a no-go and suddenly my recipe is unraveling along with my confidence that I will be able to produce as tasty meal as promised.
Back at the kitchen, we have fun cooking together and I love how he leans close and peers over my shoulder to see what I’m doing. Pretty much anytime he gets within 2 feet, my body temperature doubles.
Yup, I’ve got it bad.
Dinner turns out……ok but he seems easy to please. After eating, we cover some new conversational ground and I get him to open up to me a little bit. This is almost as good as last week when he told me I had beautiful hair. Emotional intimacy is so tantalizing at this stage. I love learning about all the little bits and pieces that make him him.
Finally the evening ajourns on the couch under the very thin guise of watching a movie (which we’d selected earlier). Before the opening credits are finished, we’ve stopped watching and started in on… well you get the idea.
I’m torn between the fact that it might be a little early to get in bed with the man and the fact that I find him entirely irresistable.
Finally he says to me, “Is anyone taking care of your dog tonight?”
I respond, “Is that an invitation?”
He says, “Answer the question first…”
And I think that is where I will end this story today boys and girls. Let me just say that I am walking on clouds. I don’t know if he’s as into me as I am into him. Maybe my heart will get broken or maybe this will be the love of my life. Either way, it’s been a long long time since I felt my heart soaring like this. It’s so great to know that it still works…
