last day of work today and Y

today is my last at work! 4pm-midnight shift i believe. it is a pool side reception and i get to put some great skills to use and bartend. i have a strange feeling that although there were days at work that i really could not stand, the good parts about work will trump the others and its going to be hard to say goodbye to every one.

last night the girls and i went to the Y's bar...for drinks...not to see if i would have a run in with Y at all....nope not the reason.

we went because we were hoping for a run in.

he ended up getting there and my girlfriends could see him walking in up stairs (the bar is down in the basement). i dont think any of us have ever had a heart attack like that together. they were all saying things like "dont look! here he comes!! oh-my-god! someone tell a story!" and i kept saying "where is he?! what do i do??" haha. i believe we went on like that for a good solid minute.

sure enough he comes over and we say hello. it was a bit awkward but i wasn't really sure what to ask besides "how are you? whats been going on? hows the bar?" etc. when we first talked he rubbed my head quickly, and then stoked my arm quickly. it was as if he was filling words with touch. would have been nice but in this scenario, it was just awkward.

we talked again in the night when he got me a drink.

then when i was leaving we started talking again. i told him i was leaving in two weeks...

"so we'll see each other before you go?" Y

"maybe" S

"maybe you wont leave or maybe we will see each other?" Y

"maybe we will see each other. you know you aren't the best at calling" ok ok, i know i shouldnt have said this but i had a few glasses of wine in me.

side note: during the conversation there were some awkward pauses and i realized his english really isnt that good. its enough for conversation but nothing that complex and hes seems a bit uncomfortable saying certain words. or maybe he was just uncomfortable in this situation and i took it was a language barrier--which could have been it as well.

"i know. i have not..... dated much" Y

 "what do you mean?" 

"i work. you are probably the only 5th date i have been on" Y

wasn't sure what to say, and i felt like it was all a bunch of shiitake (shiitake is from extremely loud and incredibly close. great book. ya'll should read it).

"ok well i can be your 6th in 2 weeks"-me. sounds so very uncool but again, i had had some wine. 

the girls and i left after that and then went to a cafe across from our apt for a little. about 20 minutes after i left i received a text message saying "have a good night..."

"thanks. good seeing you"-me

"you to . . ." Y. i excused the misuse of "to" because of the ESL. 

anyway, that was a closed chapter on this dating story. it was nice to have some closure since i am leaving although his excuse, to me, was so lame. i also am 99% sure he won't call within the 2 weeks before i leave. MEN. 

time to get ready for work. after work i think i am meeting my girlfriends at Clara, an outside bar/club across from where i work and have some celebratory drinks since work is over. can't believe it.

yalla bye
