Hey world,
been a while, but now I’ve got two hours to write (or do school work... but really?). Why do I have this allotted 2 hours, you ask? Well friends, I am currently on my way to visit a boy. I don’t know if I’ve written about this boy (pretty sure not but I do not have internet connection on the greyhound so I don’t know), his name for all intensive purposes is Jake. So Jake and I met about a year ago at a baseball home opener game. He’s friends with my friends; from Kaitlyn’s highschool party group.
He’s got dark hair and ear plugs, is your typical stoner-punk kid. Loves anarchy and everything hockey. He’s smart but not terribly interested in academics, and he can be awfully quiet. The night we met I was on some sort of upper and drunk, he saddled up next to me at our table at a bar after the game and started chatting me up. Needless to say I do not remember what about, but I do remember that it happened. The thing at that time was that there is another girl, one of Kaitlyn’s best friends, who had been hook up buddies with Jake for a while and is/was(?) quite into him. I guess she saw us talking and she decides that it would make it sufficiently awkward enough for me to walk away if she came over and sat on Jake’s lap. Success! I went to find my friends and didn’t think about it again.
Until this November I see get a fbitch update; ‘Jake likes your photo’. I was like... who?? I had completely forgotten about him. A week or so later he starts talking to me on facebook chat and as I’m really trying to remember if I know him I decide, fuck it, may as well just ask. Hah! Hopefully it didn’t bruise his ego too hard. Anyway he reminded me and the above story is all I recollect of him from the first time we met. The reason he decided to talk to me again was because he noticed I was coming to a new years party at his place.
On new years I didn’t really talk to him much of the night, he was faded and drunk as fuck and just not very talkative, so I was like, meh whatever. As the night’s coming to a close the spaces available for sleeping are noticiably limited. One of my friends ended up awkwardly curling up in an armchair. I’ve been told that someone threw a coat over her and she passed out. Several hours later when she woke up to the folks who decided sleep is for the dead, they were all very startled that a pile of jackets was moving. Hah. Anyways, to avoid suffering a similar fate I decided to accept Jake’s invite to join him.
Great. Sex.
So we had fun that night, but really didn’t spend that much time together. We exchange numbers, we text, and about a week later he comes to visit me and Ness and Kaitlyn. We had a fun night out and had an even better morning in.
** There was a brief cameo from Luke being in the booth beside us. I wouldn’t have noticed but drunk Kaitlyn and Ness were coming back from the bathroom and then all of a sudden a look of horror crosses their faces and Kaitlyn runs to the booth and body slams me to the other side of it. I’m thinking, okay clearly you have seen someone you didn’t want to. I look around and lock eyes with Luke for about half a second. Barely kept it together for 15 minutes before I made it to the bathroom to have a nice sob... sigh **
Since then he’s pretty much kept up with texting me every day (much to my surprise). So we’ve been trying to set up another chance to see each other, but our towns aren’t easy to get between without a car. We were waiting for our mutual friend group to come together which happens maybe twice every 6 months or so and his side was due for a visit.
Irony, irony, irony. The night Jake goes home to visit his family his roommates drive up to visit us. So that visit didn’t really work out. This week it’s a couple of our friends birthdays and they’re having a big celebration out in Jakes town. Originally we were all supposed to go, but it is the middle of midterms and Ness (the driver) couldn’t afford to take the time off studying.
That brings me to here. Sitting on a greyhound writing on my internet-challenged laptop. I must say folks, I’m super nervous. I was hoping that the next time I saw Jake would be with the comfort of my friends around me. Nope. Am now going to a party with a bunch of people, half of whom I don’t know, the other half of whom I’ve never hung out with without my roomies, and Jake. I’m kinda freaked out ‘cause obviously everyone is going to know exactly why I came down. Would naaat be this generous for our friends’ birthdays. As much as I do love them, not this much. Anyways I’m pretty freaked that it’s gonna be super awkward, but what cha gonna do?
I sent A a text about the situation and in the wise words of a best friend she pretty much told me, it is what you make it. Too true. I just gotta walk up in there with my confidence shining and charm them all out of any awkward, we-all-know-youre-just-here-to-hook-up-with-Jake...ness. Oh yea, also it’s a theme party, snow bunny type thing, snow pants, goggles, boarding jacket... you get the idea. Yea so they didn’t decide that until I was already en route. So yayy not only do I already stand out as the girl who came 5 hours for a booty call without her friends, but also I will be the girl in a lace bodysuit and jeans while everyone else is rocking double layer snow gear. Ohmylife.
Anyway, I hope that you could guess I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t think it was worth it. Jake’s cute, sweet, smart, and great in bed. I’m actually wondering where this is going, meaning it does have potential for more than just sex. So if you’re like, whyohwhy are you putting yourself through that, here’s the reason:
Me: bus driver’s a nut bag and the bus smells...but hey, I’m en route!
Jake: Lol yup most are, and awesome :) that’s the best news all week
:)
p.s just another tidbit to sweeten the whole thing, one of Jake’s roommates is a close friend of the group, who I’ve known for years. He’s a sweet guy, but a little(lot) over weight, likes to think of himself as a skilled free-style rapper... he also likes to think that I have been dying to let him get in my pants for the last few years. And he doesn’t know about me and Jake...yeaaap. I’ll let cha know how it all pans out!
