Solid As A Rock

Sunday

Chad and I woke up on This Sunday morning and we were on each others' nerves (I guess). Chad was feeling overly sensitive when I said, "No" with regard to his scooting over next to me on the bed; whereby, he took it upon his own initiative to go downstairs and sleep on the couch.

Alas, we seemed to iron things out and we went to the Royal Oak Pub for breakfast. There was a great view. It was a nice setting.

We went to South Shore Shopping Center where I bumped into Nici Maurino, a fellow telephone company employee. She looked okay (kind of plain). I introduced Chad to Nici and it was a quick, small chat. Chad and I continued our exploration on this Sunday and ended up buying 'movie snacks'.

It was suddenly a rainy day. We rented two movies: TIM starring Mel Gibson (and based on Colleen McCullough's book) and DIVA (a French film). We watched both films at my place. We 'played' as well.

By 9PM we were into some TV movie called DOUBLETAKE. We realized it was almost 10PM and I drove Chad home to the Hayward Hills. We plan on getting-together again on Wednesday night (or maybe next weekend). We're lovers now and 'solid as a rock' (I guess one could say). He knows me better now and vice-versa. Time shall tell.

I could feel the cold comfort of my sheets in my own bed.
