Spent some serious time at the Coffee House today.

Round One!

Earlier in the afternoon with my friend Cleve. As we went to leave I ran into the lil' "coffee house man. (see blog entry July 17) He had stategically sat not only far away from sight but in the corner on the patio. One might think that he was trying to avoid someone. Hmm? Could I be any more paranoid? I did say hello but I wanted to respect his space and kept the conversation to a simple hello and goodbye.

About an hour into running errands with Cleve, my roomie rang to inform us that she was hanging out at the Coffee House and would love some company.

Round Two!

As we entered the store I waved to the little "coffee house man". He looked amused and confused to see me there twice in one day. After sitting with my roomie and Cleve for about 20 minutes, chatting, laughing and sippin coffee both their cell phones rang and I ended up sitting there alone. I was pleasantly surprised by the approach of Derek. Perhaps my friends cell phone habits can serve me well at times. Derek and I began to chat and I invited him to sit with us. Upon my roomie and Cleve's return the four of sat and chatted for quite awhile.

Well that was it. Two Rounds at the Coffee House and I was knocked out by the warmth and cute smile of this guy.

Yes, he has a boyfriend.

Yes, they have been together for 5 years.

Yes, he did take my phone number!

Yes, I think I can transform my infatuation into friendship.
