Singing, Chili's, and Picture

I went out with Chris last night to Chili's. He wanted to drive, and we left for Chili's after 8. It's a lot of fun driving around with him. He put on Madonna's Greatest Hits "The Immaculate Collection" and was singing along to the songs as he held my hand when he drove. He were driving the back roads to get to Chili's in Flemington. It was just a lot of fun to hear him singing along and basically having a good time as we headed to Chili's.

On the way, he was talking about his prior jobs at places like Borders. He knew someone at the Borders next to the Chili's and he wanted to stop in to say hi to her since it was awhile since he last saw her. After arriving, he insisted on holding my hand as we walked to the store. I was a little uncomfortable doing this, since it's been literally forever since I ever did any PDA (Public Display of Affection) He understood my feeling and said I shouldn't feel embarrassed or anything. We briefly held hands as we walked to Borders and we went in to see his friend who worked in the cafe. She seemed really nice and he I think wanted to show me off to her, perhaps. He wanted to rub my back and stuff while we were waiting for her to finish up her customers. The PDA made me slightly uncomfortable since I'm not use to it, but the way he is treating me makes me really happy. Time goes too quickly when hanging out with him.

After he talked with his friend, we went over to Chili's to have dinner. I had my usual platter of stuff and he just got a turkey sandwich. We had fun talking over dinner, and I tried sneaking some pics of him, which he made me delete later on. I didn't mind deleting the pics since I had already uploaded them to myself. :) So technically nothing was deleted at all.

When we drove back to my house, he went the back way again. It was a lot of fun, he was talking about his other friends and I was getting a better picture of how he's been living his life lately. I wasn't as nervous eating out with him tonight which was a good thing. I still feel really strongly about him. Is it because I'm trying to see what could've been back in the year 2000?

I ended the night by taking a picture of us together. I wanted to have a new picture of us together and I have to say we look very similar for some reason, unless that's just me. Tomorrow he goes to a Jason Mraz concert so I probably won't see him until Sunday or sometime after my conference.

Song of the moment: Madonna - Material Girl ("Are you a material guy?")

Home Cookin'

Chris wanted to come over last night and cook me dinner. He offered to cook, something which nobody ever did for me in the past. Now, I don't really have a complete kitchen per-se, I have a kitchen and all, but I lack the gadgets needed to cook. Chris said he'd cook up a chicken dish and all I needed were pots, which I do have.

Chris came over and we hung out watching some TV (he likes the Chiller channel, and is big into horror movies) and I liked watching TV with him. It's fun to cuddle up on the couch and watch some movies. I rarely watch much television, and this is something new for me to do, not to mention fun!

Chris cooked up a simple dish, basically chicken cutlets and noodles in a simple butter sauce. The meal was simple but it was good. I never had anyone cook for me, so this was something new, and I felt kinda bad about it since I felt he was doing something that he didn't have to do.

I thought he would ask me out last night, but he didn't yet. Maybe he's waiting on me to ask, or perhaps he's not ready yet and just wants to hangout some more first.

I was nervous around him, especially when it was time to eat. I never really get nervous often, but I guess since I really like him I got nervous and it was hard to eat at times. I only got like this around someone I dated back in 2001/2002. Maybe I'm getting strong feelings for him based on this? He doesn't do anything to make me nervous and I enjoy being around him a lot.

Starbucks, Reminiscing, Good Times

Went to meet Chris yesterday afternoon. I was so excited to meet and see him again. It's been 9 years since we last saw each other, when were just in high school. We never really hung out one on one back in high school that much, and this would be a good opportunity to see how he's changed and what he has been up to all these years. We agreed that I would go to his house, pick him up, and we would go get coffee from Starbucks. I picked a Starbucks that was one of the larger ones in the area, so that we could talk and not worry about people bothering us, since the one in the mall is always super busy and loud.

He was wearing gym shorts and an orange shirt. He looked extremely hot, he may have even been hotter than he looked back in high school. I was so excited to meet him again. You could smell his cologne, and overall I was so excited. I drove us to the Starbucks, and he offered to pay for our drinks. I ordered a Java Chip Frappuchino and he ordered a Vanilla Chai. We sat down and talked for awhile about what we've been up to and just reminiscing on the past.

What's funny was he use to work at this Starbucks location we went to. He knew the girl behind the counter, but forgot her name. Man, if I knew he worked at this Starbucks I probably would have bumped into him much sooner, but I usually don't frequent Starbucks that often.

He seems to have grown up, based on what he's been saying. He no longer drinks (he use to be a little bad in high school) and seems to have changed for the better and has some goals set for himself in regards to college and a future job.

After talking over our coffees, I asked what he would like to do next. I have a conference to go to in just over a week and needed some nice clothes to wear to it. He agreed that we could go to the mall next and he'd help me pick out clothes to wear. It was so much fun meeting up with him, and we headed off to the mall next.

We walked around in the mall and went to Macy's. I knew generally what I wanted to buy since I saw some nice things when I was there a few weeks ago. I found the shirt I had my eye on, but I needed a shirt to go underneath, and also a pair of nice jeans.

Macy's had some DKNY jeans on clearance for just $20, so I picked up a pair, and Chris picked out this really nice orange shirt for me. (He likes orange I think!) I then picked out a white button down shirt to go on top of the orange one. It was so nice to have someone with me to pick out some clothes to wear. It was a ton of fun hanging out.

After shopping, we headed back to his house so I could drop him off. I had such an amazing time with him and the time flew by being with him. I was happy to have reconnected and to be asked to hangout almost right away after talking again after 9 years.

We ended our "date" with a kiss. He complemented me on my kiss and said I kiss good. I told him no way that I don't, since the kiss was quick and I was super nervous and excited at the same time. I smiled and drove home. I'm falling for Chris..
