Our last email he said give me a call sometime, after giving me his number. My response was here's my number you can call me.
I got home from church, and my neighbor and I were going to take her girls to pizza street. I had just swung my door open to meet her outside when my phone rang. I ran to look at the caller ID. I remember thinking its him, let it ring one more time you don't want him to think you are just standing by the hone waiting for it to call. I calmly answer, hello! Hi, Carol this is Matt. (I know, I was so glad he called). The time was set, a movie it would be, what would I wear, I was so nervous..... I remember I couldn't stop sweating, I was totally freeking out.
Ok, I was ready, I peaked out the blinds and saw him pull up. I wasn't sure if he knew which condo I was in, so I opened the door and headed down the stairs. I remember thinking, what do I do. Telling myself slow down, enjoy the moment. He opened the car door for me, how nice, kind, polite and respectful. We get to the theatre, watch the movie. Driving back to my condo, I say "you want to come up to my condo?" What was I thinking, did that sound trashy, was I miss leading him, what was he thinking now.... Oh well it already came out of my mouth. He said sure.
We sat on my very comfy 20year old hand me down couch from my parents. Chatted for what seemed like minutes, was really hours. No worries, we both had Monday off work for the holiday.
I can remember think I was starving!!!! I had no food in my house, I was single, what more could I need. I had the staples, pasta, cereal, pop tarts, soda and milk. So I got us some soda to drink, that's all I could do.
It was getting late, so Matt was leaving. I was wondering how did it go?? Did I say anything stupid (if you know me I do that)? Was this the beginning or end?
I walk him to the door, he is standing right outside my door, and a BIG ENORMOUS BUG flies into my face. At that moment I thought Matt was leaning in to kiss me, and I was leaning as far back as I could as to not have a bug land on my face. I quickly recover from the lean back, and lean forward and give home a kiss. He says, "I'll call you tomorrow". I think in guy time that would be (a week, a few days, a month). I said "ok, talk to ya tomorrow". Shut the door, watched him leave and call my friend downstairs.
The next day, my phone rings and it was Matt, it made my heart feel good, he meant what he said! I was so glad to talk to him again. 🌹
