The Accidental Sleepover
Okay. So I lied about not sleeping over with girls who aren't my girlfriends.
She makes me want to break my own rules. Then again, I'm slowly discovering that I am starting to redefine myself. This is always a good thing. How can I grow as a person without pushing the envelope a little?
While I was very intoxicated last night, FoxyLady invited me over to her home since her folks last minute went away for the entire weekend. I couldn't resist, and well, I was easily coerced. It was an amazing time. We really bonded and let our respective guards down. I don't regret a single moment, except for one.
I was supposed to meet up with ErgoGirl today and spend quality time, but I became one of THOSE girls. You know the type. The type who bails on her friends the moment a cute guy/girl calls. The kind who disappears everytime she's in a relationship. I had sworn to myself after the last major breakup that I would never do that again. And here I was, doing it. I could list plenty of excuses as to why I bailed, but I won't bother. I just let her down, and I let myself down. Sorry ErgoGirl!
On a positive note, I managed to hang out with FoxyLady and her friends at another PND Picnic today. This time I remembered my camera and took several photos. Here are two of my fave's that FoxyLady took herself.
We had so much fun: ate too much Filipino food, enjoyed watching our culture showcase itself, and I got to know her friends better. I was happy to meet her friends because I never had such an appreciation for the Pinays from back home, let alone the lesbian ones. They were able to enlighten me with stories from their past. My favourite part was when FoxyLady and I felt a little playful, and fake-wrestled in the park, much to the enjoyment of a large group of guys barbequing nearby. I don't think I've ever been cat-called more in my entire life! The two of us just gave each other knowing grins, and hurried back to where our group was hanging out.
As I was getting to know her friends and sharing stories, I noticed how quiet she was being. Even though I was occupied with laughing and swapping tales with her buddies, I did see out of the corner of my eye that she was watching me. While I was still carrying on my conversation, I could feel her arms wrap around me as she leaned in and kissed me on the head. I had no clue what it was for, but at that moment I knew: This is definitely more than just dating. She couldn't take her eyes off me, and couldn't let go either. I felt such complete joy, and was surprised at how easily it came. I have been a cynic much too long.
We had plenty of moments like that the entire day. I look forward to more.
