'Tis the night before Christmas and all through the house were 3 bodies who plodded and grumbled about, not really in the holiday spirit.
Oh well.
Isaac and I are together now. Crazy, isn't it?. Mark this date: Dec 14. Since the last time I wrote we saw each other about 3 more times.
Our first date was wonderful. The restaurant was a fantastic pick. They had a kind of corner booth that we sat in. I liked it b/c we could sit together instead of across from each other. And the food was super. He came with a cute gift and a card that I absolutely love.
Our second date was the night before the big snowstorm. We went to a restaurant close to my house. We then went to a coffee place for another hour or so.
The third time, we met at the same coffee shop but only for an hour b/c I had to go to work. I saw him the next evening again. We went somewhere downtown. The plan was to meet up with his friend, cousin and 2 brothers at a nice lounge but his 18 yr old cousin wasn't allowed in. so we went to assab restaurant. before we met up with them, Isaac gave me the nicest watch I could ask for. It was by bulova. I have to get it resized though b/c it's a little loose. I got him that nice sweater from Mexx. I think he liked it b/c he wanted to wear it right away but it was going to clash with the rest of his attire.
The restaurant was a little small, crowded and a lot loud. but it got better as the night went on. Before we sat down, they said hello and greeted everyone they knew there. That is truly a place where everyone knows your name. In the back was a long table with a big crowd of men who, upon Isaac's arrival, all gave him a thundering ovation. If they were caucasians they'd sing "for he's a jolly good fellow". I later learned that they were his soccer teammates. I was so proud of him. I sat beside the 28 yr old brother but he was sick unfortunately so I couldn't get to know him. His cop brother who's 30 I found was hilarious and very tough. Though all 3 brothers don't look alike much, they all have a distinct resemblance to each other in their mannerisms and reactions and the way they carry themselves. I was a little disappointed I didn't get to meet his youngest brother who's my age I think. He didn't come b/c he flew out to Florida to visit a girl he's dating for her birthday. I think he learned how to be a sweet heart from his brother Isaac.
I invited my friend Habs to come and she showed up about half past midnight. She and the *single* cop brother were having a private convo at one point but unfortunately, nothing is going to happen there. I already figured that before I asked Issac. The cop wants somebody who's probably taller, a charmer, a flirt, and maybe independent at least in the state of mind.
I didn't get a chance to have a one-on-one with the cop but at one point he asked me if it's serious b/w Isaac and I [he asked that same question to Habs] and then later in the evening he asked when am I coming to Phili [code for when am I going to meet his parents]. I didn't answer, I left it up to Issac who said politely we're not there yet. But I'm so thrilled that the cop asked me that b/c it means he digs me.
I was sad to see our night end. Isaac drove Habs home and when we finally got a chance to ourselves, somewhere between steamy windows and lip-lockings, he told me he loved me. I couldn't believe it. I thought we were going to dance around that bomb for a little while longer.
When I look at when we first met and when we actually started dating, I wonder if we're moving too fast but the truth is, just like time, it's all relative. It may not be right for some people but Isaac and I have gotten to know a whole lot about each other and everything we do feels right. I love him too. And I'm so thrilled that I may be part of his family. [he says to me all the time that I'm part of his family now. I love it.]
I think this may be it.
