Vicki Batman ~ Cupid Comes Calling: Not That Guy!

Cupid Comes Calling: Not that Guy!
 I was supposed to go to see the new Bond flick with a friend, only he'd had a little too much fun-in-the-sun. This I found out when I checked in with him on what time we wanted to go for the show. His doorbell rang as I was about to leave. My friend answered and there stood…his co-worker, a tall, thin, dark-headed young man. In a flannel shirt.  In May.  After we were introduced, the co-worker said, "Sorry, I'm interrupting." I said, "No, I was just leaving."
I explained about the movie, and all of the sudden, my friend said, "You take her." I was mortified, and said, "Our friend has had too much fun today. Ignore him." The co-worker said, "I'll go." Before I knew it, all was arranged.
I kept thinking I was being nice. And I was. I paid for my own ticket, did most of the talking. Afterwards, the co-worker dropped me off in my apartment's parking lot. Ooookkaaayyy.A nice escort to my door would have been kind, but no.
Fast forward to six weeks later to my roommate's surprise birthday party by the pool…
That afternoon, the co-worker phoned and asked me out. I declined and invited him to the party. Pretty typical of me as I invited everyone to the party. In the middle of celebrating, I looked up and spied him (wearing a sweater. In July.) walking toward our group. Another friend noticed and asked about him. I said, "Oh that's Charlie's friend." I greeted him and made introductions.
Throughout the evening, three people told me they liked him, and I should date him. I was like really? But began to look at him through different eyes.
He kept coming back. And I kept saying yes. And finally on April Fool's Day, he proposed.
I made him ask me again on April 2—just to be sure.

Happy Valentine's Day!
