How Will I Know If He Really Loves Me?

Okay, so fine, whatever, it's been over a month year. Sue me! I've been all busy & depressed & doing paperwork & fighting a bad back & running to the dentist every week & living life & shit. &, I kinda forgot I was doing this. WHATEVAH!


So, the one day when the lady met this fella...


Picture it: Dodge, December 1987.

She: a girl with big 80s hair, just a small-town girl, livin' in a lonely world...
He: just a small-town boy, Her sister's ex-boyfriend, wearin' acid wash jeans & 5 years more livin' than She.

She works hard for the money at the local theatre; so hard for it, honey ~ 5 nights a week.
He saunters in that December night with one of her exes & invites Her to a Christmas party {free booze, live band, did I mention free booze? YAY!}.
She accepts & after Her shift, they wait for His ex to get off work at Le Coque Rouge.

The 4 exes head to the party in a small town 15 minutes away. She finds out when they arrive that it's His brother's company Christmas party.

She, confused, thinks Her ex is looking for reconciliation.
She, confused, is wrong.

He asks Her to dance, & whirls & twirls her dizzy to "The Orange Blossom Special".
She lurves to dance & feels a spark of interest for Him, despite the fact He makes fun of Her 'Vulcan Death Grip' on the back of His neck.

He craftily maneuvers the seating arrangement on the way home.
She becomes less confused when He puts His hand on Her knee.

He, still scheming, drop the exes off first.
She willingly does not insist on going home immediately.

He graciously shows Her the sights.
She, smitten, stays out all night.






& wasn't that a long-winded, fancy way of saying Puffy took me to Le Ville du Coe, got me drunk & then we parked behind the grad barn until 6 AM? Our first date. December, 1987.
