Earlier in the week I kind of made loose plans with Curtis to hang out again Friday (today). But yesterday I was starting to regret it because...well I just get that feeling where I don't want to have to dedicate my time to any one thing or person and that was what I was feeling. I woke up today and pretty much felt the same, plus I wanted to finish A Game of Thrones tonight so I could be ready for the show on Sunday and pass on the book to one of the guys at work.
So when Curtis called I ignored it. Then an hour or so later he sent a text. At first I ignored it, choosing to continue reading, but then decided I could at least say I wasn't in the mood to hang out. You know, not be a total bitch.
I text back that I was planning on finishing the book so I've been reading the whole day and that was why I took so long to get back to him. He asked if I would have time to fit in a sushi dinner with him...and surprising to myself, I said sure.
I was being a right little shit about it though, kind of low energy when he picked me up all the way to the restaurant. I would tell stories as he asked questions, but I didn't find myself wanting to inquire much and as the drive went on there were lapses of silence. I don't mind silence, but the contrast from our last drive was a bit extreme.
But as we sat down at the bar and chose some roles to share between us, we started to hit our natural flow and by the time we left I felt pretty good about hanging out with him. Partly because he allowed me to pay this time like I wanted. After the massive expense of the last outing, I don't foresee letting him pay for much for a while.
He invited me to go inner-tubing (is that what it is called?) with him and his buddy/roommate of a sort later in the week but I don't know what I think of that yet.
