What is with these men? Sunday night found KDP & me in Long Beach bars. We started out at Speakeasy, where the funny man from Wednesday night was tending. He hooked us up with a drink & we stood & chatted. The self-appointed mayor of LB stopped by & chatted us up for awhile. After tiring of that crowd, we moved on to Minnesota's. which was way too crowded & not worth it at that point.
We moved along, planning on going into Minnesota's Beach Club, the newest in LB hang outs, when we stopped outside of another small establishment called Trainors. It was somewhat empty & easy to get to the bar & get s drink. It was getting crowded fast, so we grabbed a tall table to stand at, and literally two minutes later a guy came over and started talking to us. He looked to be about 37 but claims he is 28/29. He never introduced himself but talked with us for 1/2 hour. He's new to the area, coming from Syracuse, and likes it here. He's a professional and has a good job in Garden City. However, while we were talking, my phone was ringing off the hook and I finally went outside to take it. It was Mr. Finance from last weekend, calling again at what I consider an obscene hour since we haven't met or talked since that night we met at Blue Honu.
He was at Paddy's, where Wednesday began for us, and wanted me to go to Huntington to hang out. I pointed out that I do not appreciate these late night calls, seeing as he had all week to set something up. He called at 11:00, 12:00, and 1:30 all on Sunday night. I told him to call me midweek to set up something real.
At 11:25pm, the Mechanic called. I had told him the other night, as well, to call me when he wants to actually go out again. And to call me at a normal hour. Well, being that his head is full of hardware & he is not bright, he called again last night at 1am because he was in Glen Cove & wanted to know if I wanted to get coffee. Thankfully I was asleep & the phone was off.
But, I digress. After two the calls, I went back in & the mystery man had already left....leaving KDP standing there alone. Not very nice. He told her to say goodbye to me. I felt bad, seeing as I wanted to give him my number just to go hang out. I mean, he is new and all, and I could show him all the Island has to offer. So, KDP is now on the lookout for him over the next few weeks for me.
True to form, guess who called at 10:04 this morning? The Phys ed. teacher whom I left that message for on Friday while out with Crak & waiting for the Blonde & KDP to show up. I knew he'd call today. Why? His second cell is back on after the weekend & the suspected live-in girlfriend is nowhere in earshot so it's safe.
So far, the only one calling the way one is supposed to is the Detective and he's set up plans for dinner on Saturday night. He did this a week in advance. It's real. It's sweet. It's not the one I want, but I am not picky right now.
