So remember we're we left off, yeah you got it...I finally got the name and the number of my mystery guy. But he had to wait 6 months for that first date.
It's not that I didn't want to see him again...but with my life in St. Maarten (the dutch side of the island) and his in Anguilla….and with the drama from the last guy I dated, well, let’s just say I was in no rush for any kind of new relationship.
We did talk on the phone though...and we had a quick meet up on July 14th, French St. Martin’s Bastille Day, a yearly event held in Marigot. He was in St. Martin (the French side of the island) for a bike race that was to happen the next day. It was not his first trip to St. Maarten since we met but it was the first time I told him we can at least meet up.
My friend and I had planned to take her daughter, who just happens to be my god daughter, to see the fireworks and have dinner. If you are ever in St. Maarten on July 14th, don’t miss this spectacular firework exhibition on the water. And if you are in Anguilla, just perch yourself on the beach, with a late night picnic basket and enjoy the show!
Back to the story….So I told him, if he was there he can check us out at Rosemary’s, love her stewed conch and rice….deeeelish!!!
It was a pleasure to spend time with my friend and goddaughter. As we sat there chatting, laughing and eating...he appeared just like that, with that drop dead gorgeous smile…..and out of nowhere, which is totally out of character, I stood up and gave him a huge hug….
Melting…
Melting…
Melllltiiiiiinnng….
AHHHH…..so warm...so strong….so safe….don’t let go…
Best hug everrrr!!!
We made small talk, as one would say.
Watched the fireworks and got a glimpse at the kind of man he was, as he offered to lift my god daughter up so she could see what she called then “the fire kings” as she was terribly afraid of fireworks.
Afterwards, we hugged goodbye as he had an early curfew…….
So would you call this a date? Well, not exactly but it was nice and it gave my friend a chance to chime in on her opinion. She approved!
Boooooop….Boooooop...Boooooop
