saturday night i stayed in. hold on. let me back up. friday night i stayed in and asked marty if he would like to come over and watch a movie with me. (he doesnt like to go out much bc he doesnt drink) he said "sorry i can't i'm at the firehouse but how about tomorrow? i'll cook you dinner?" i said ok thats fine and went on my merry way fb lurking and wasting time until an acceptable bed time hour.
saturday comes and goes. i spend my day laying in bed as i had planned on and it was glorious. i havn't heard from marty all day. which is unlike him since hes soooo fucking persistant and needy. so i text him. "hi." nothing. "what's up?" nothing. WHAT THE FUCK goes through my head. an hour goes by... still nothing.
then finally i get a text "sorry i was sleeping"
me: it's ok. i just got done making myself dinner
marty: damn
[enter more non important info here]
doris gets drunk and begs marty to come over
doris gets even drunker and passes out
6 am I wake up to marty getting into bed with me. and he scares the shit out of me. he kinda giggled and said "omg! im soo sorry! i had a feeling i was going to scare you. sorry!" and i get a kiss on the forehead and he wraps his arms around me and i fall back to sleep.
i wake up around noon-ish and marty is dead to the world and impossible to wake up so i set my alarm for 1pm and drift off to sleep a little longer. right before my alarm goes off my phone starts blowing up with text messages from amanda.
amanda wants to go look at houses. so i give in and say ok let me get my shit together (aka get marty out of my bed) and ill be over.
it takes a while to get him up and out but whatever. i seriously think that he does it on purpose so that he can meet my parents. we've been hooking up on a pretty regular basis and i refuse to let him meet my parents.
second saturday in a row that this senerio has played out.
so i go over to amanda's and we head downtown to look at houses. we look around for about 30 min and decide lets park and walk. as we are trying to find a parking spot we drive by a bar and outside is dan scott. a guy that i went to highschool with. we make eye contact smile and wave. (he is a whole nother story which i'm not getting into....yet) dan is standing with another tall cute boy whom i don't know (yet).
amanda and i walk around for a whole 5 min before we decide its too cold and we want drinks and a snack. so we walk over to the same bar that dan was standing in front of and have a seat at a table near the bar.
i see dan over at the other end of the bar (which is roughly 10 feet away) he's standing with tall cute boy and a bunch of other guys i don't know.
(first drink: mimosa)
amanda says: wanna get drunk and watch the game here?
me: sure.... i'm game. what do i have to do today?
not 20 minutes go by and dan comes over and starts talking to us. i introduce him to amanda and he asks if we mind if he sits with us...
he floats back and forth between us and his boys and starts getting flirty with amanda. and then tells me that his friend in the blue shirt thinks im really cute. blue shirt boy is tall cute boy from before.
(second and third drinks: mimosas)
rounds and rounds of shots are bought and tossed back (3 shots to be exact)
again dan tells me that his friend is all about me and thinks i'm really cute. i tell him well hes obviously trying really hard to talk to talk to me from the other side of the bar. at this point i hadn't even noticed that he had looked at me, let alone in my direction. dan says ok ill fix this and he comes back over with cute tall boy in the blue shirt.
"hi my name is doris" as i stick out my hand with a very warm friendly smile.
(doris upgrades beverage selection to vodka soda)
his name is jeremy and i completely forget what he does and all of the converstations we had. but hey...at least i remember his name --right?
(another vodka soda)
(dan buys me a vodka soda--i can't turn it down---that would be ungrateful)
jeremy and dan invite me and amanda to come back to jeremy's place to watch the game with a bunch of other people. at this point things are starting to look steamy or look like they have to potential to get steamy between dan and amanda. (another vodka soda) so i say sure why not? he's not a complete stranger. after all he is friends with dan and i've known dan for about 11 years. (dan used to write me absence notes when i would cut class back in high school)
so we stop and get beer and walk over to jeremy's condo. which isnt far. maybe 3 blocks.
doris has a beer
they watched the game. i dont know what i was doing but it certainly wasnt watching the game. i can not recall one play. NOT. ONE. PLAY. where the fuck was i? i know i was sitting on the couch with amanda. but what the fuck was i doing? i don't even remember conversation.
brown out.
i remember people leaving and jeremy laying on the love seat. i dont remeber why but i went and sat on top of him. then i remember being in his bedroom and him offering me a pair of shorts so i don't have to sleep in my jeans. then i remember waking up and his arm around me and his alarm going off. its 6:15. i remember amanda saying that we need to move my car by 7 or it will be towed.
i know we didn't hook up.
oh i remember more about him. he's 29 and is from southern maryland. his brother's name is james. (good start doris. classy.)
jeremy hits snooze and cuddles up behind me
i wake up in a panic remembering that my car has the potentatial of being towed. i ask what time it is 6:49. FUCK. we are downtown. still have to get dressed, walk to amanda's car and drive at least 15 min to my jeep.
jeremy says good bye---blah blah blah something about hanging out again but im not paying attention. my. car. is. about. to. get. towed. FUCK MY LIFE.
full panic. its 7:03.
amanda and i run to her car. as if thats going to make a difference. we speed to her apartment. it's well past 7. i'm panicing we turn the corner that her building is on and no cars. only one jeep. with a tow truck parked in front of it. SAFE! i get in my cold car and the tow truck drives away.
i'm home by 7:20.
