Drinks with a friend
Last night I met up with a friend of mine who is in NYC for a few days. I wanted to see him because he’s leaving for a trip around the world and I wasn’t sure when I would get the chance to see him again.
A little background information, I met this guy a little over a year and a half ago at a conference. We were introduced by a mutual friend but we never really got to talking. That was the same conference that I met my ex-fiance at so I was really too busy being swept off my feet to be paying attention to other guys.
A year later, at that same conference I ran into this guy at a bar. I went up to him to introduce myself because I was sure he couldn’t possibly remember me. But he did. He remembered everything about the first time we met. We hung out at the bar and had a few drinks and started talking. I told him what had happened with my ex and after hearing the story he ask if I thought that I might get back together with my ex someday. I told him that would never happen and he smiled.
That night we share a cab and talked about everything. He’s a really interesting guy. Athletic, outdoorsy, really tall, and just about one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet.
So when I knew he was coming to town I was excited to see him and catch up. We met last night for drinks at the Ace Hotel. He was crashing with a friend who was also in town for business and had a room there. I met up with the two of them at the bar and we had a fun evening drinking and telling stories. When his friend went to the bathroom he apologized for him friend being there, but I told him that it wasn’t a big deal.
When we were on our way out I gave him a big hug goodbye. I could tell that he wanted to kiss me, but didn’t because of his friend. He pulled me back in for another big hug and a kiss on the forehead and told me that he really wished his friend wasn’t around because I was a very beautiful girl (now this totally could have been the alcohol talking, so I’m not sure). Also hugging him was kind of awkward since he is so very tall and I’m only 5’4”.
Never the less, I had a great night and I’m secretly hoping I get to see him again before he leaves NYC on Thursday.
