Adam!

Adam (Champagne Flutes):BTW you smelled really good yesterday. I knew you would.

Oh shit. Hewasflirting yesterday. I can’t help but pace now, filled with nervous energy. Is Adam, like, into me?

Adam (Champagne Flutes)

Thank you. It’s sandalwood and vanilla.

Adam (Champagne Flutes):I like it.

Thanks again.

Adam (Champagne Flutes):So are you free Fridaynight? Like 7?

Eeek! I’m practically jogging now. Adam is approximately 300% hotter than any guy I’ve ever dated. Since when do guys like him wanna go out with girls like me?

Adam (Champagne Flutes)

Just to be clear, you mean free for a date, right?

Adam (Champagne Flutes):Actually I was hoping for another ride.

Adam (Champagne Flutes):That was a joke, BTW. Yes, I meant a date.

Adam (Champagne Flutes):I'll make it REALLY clear it's a date this time ;)

Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod!!!

Adam (Champagne Flutes)

Ha ha. Sure. That sounds great. Where should I meet you?

Adam (Champagne Flutes):Have you heard of Honey’s? It’s this cool little cocktail bar, and they do mead and small plates

Mead, huh?

Adam (Champagne Flutes):Yup. Feel like pretending to be a viking with me?

LOL! I’m down

Adam (Champagne Flutes):Great. I’ll see you then

Did that really just happen?! Still pacing, I immediately call Denise for a recap.

“Hello?”

“Denise! You are not gonna believe who I’m going out with this Friday!”

“Who?”

“Adam!” I squeal, barely believing it myself. A long silence follows. I’ve clearly shocked her to death.

“Uh…Who?” she asks tentatively. Seriously?!!

“You know! Adam! Champagne flutes Adam.”

“Ooooh. ‘Mr. Park’ Adam,” she says. I can hear the smile in her voice. “You mean the jerk who practically yelled at you after you drove all the way to Cape Cod, then had thenerveto ask for a ride back?”
