Weekend Shenanigans

Hey guys!

I’m fresh back to work and it’s raining cats and dogs here. But lets’ backtrack to Friday…….

“Let’s do happy hour, I NEED to get out, we won’t stay long I promise” Kendall whined into my phone. I was tucked neatly under my comforter in my bra and panties and had 0 intentions of removing myself until Saturday morning. Cam and my Dad had successfully managed to pick up Baby Boy from daycare and he was gone for the weekend. So for once, I had no responsibility. It’s different, for me anyway, when my mom or grandma has him. I still feel like he’s not gone gone. But, Cam was his Dad so I completely let go.

Kendall was still rambling on and I looked at my clock and noticed it was after 8 p.m.

“I’m not going Happy Hour is over at 9…… we are gonna miss the wing deals, count me out” I silenced her.

“I can be there in 20 minutes” she spat out.

I groaned and got up to brush my teeth. I grabbed some short denim shorts; a while cropped top tee, and an orange long sweater, that hung low in the back. I got my rust open toe plat form heels and a matching bag and ran my fingers thru my hair. Not bad for 10 minutes. I looked cute.

We got to Happy hour and spent a ridiculous amount of time in line for food before we sat down to eat. Kendall had been paying for everything all night so I didn’t complain, she was in a good mood for whatever reason, so I went with it. When we sat down we saw an old guy friend from high school who offered us drinks. I had opted not to drink tonight but Kendall said sure. I was dancing and having my own little party when Kendall started doing something weird with her eyes.

“Want me to blow in it?” I asked thinking making she had something stuck in one. She rolled them after that and that’s when I felt someone touch my lower back.

“What’s up Jaycee” I honestly felt like I was hearing nails scratching a chalkboard, it was Jake, the bag buyer, in all his glory.

I turned around slowly trying to fix my face “Oh hey Jake, what are you doing here?” I really wanted to know, he worked the night shift so technically he should be at work, not here in my face looking all goofy.

He laughed and proudly said “I’m on the clock, I always leave and come out, they never know”.

Really? You are a 30 something year old man sneaking off work to hang out in a bar, is that really worth jeopardizing your career? I can’t! I snuck a glance at Kendall who was suddenly down with a case of the giggles. Wench!

“So, yeah anyway Jaycee, I have your bag at the house, remember the one I told you I would have waiting when you got back from New York?” he got serious on that topic.

“Yeah, I didn’t think you would actually go buy another bag though Jake” I told him.

“Yeah, I’m trying to spoil you, but you won’t let me, I’m having a cookout tomorrow too, come by and get the bag and just hang out, it’s a family cookout so it’ll be fun” Jake rambled on.

“Ehhhhh, that probably won’t work, I have work tomorrow and then Tay’s son football game afterwards, I’m pretty booked for tomorrow” I was glad I really had plans.

He took that but I knew that was too easy, he said he would see me later and walked off. Kendall’s BFF showed up a little after that ad we were all dancing and having fun when Jake showed up again, he spent the remainder of his night in my face trying to make it seem like we were together to others. I spent the night pushing him off of me and telling him to back up. At midnight, some guys I grew up with asked did we want to hit another spot, I gladly accepted, totally forgetting the fact that we should have BEEN left happy hour hours ago.

Meanwhile, this other guy Alex had been texting me. He had got me a good deal on tires earlier this summer and had been asking to hang out. Since we were going to a new spot I told him to meet us there. By the time her got there tho I only talked to him for about 15 minutes before all my friends were leaving to call it a night. He had seemed cool though, key word: SEEMED. More on Alex later.

Saturday was hard. I hadn’t got in till 3 a.m. and was at work by 7 a.m. I BS’ed through the work and I was suppose to ride with Tay to her sons game. She flipped it on me last minute and said she was having car trouble and asked could I drive. I didn’t want to drive I was tired as crap an it was 104 degrees out. In addition, Tay didn’t know how to drive my car, so that cancelled that out. I finally told her fine, and asked could she meet me at my house. The game was about 30 minutes away and I lived closer to the interstate. She promptly responded no and that I needed to come get her. The eff? Not happening, at least work with me here. She was going on and on about it and making me feel guilty when she had already asked another friend to take her anyway. So while I’m debating this with her our other friend gets in a group chat telling Tay shes outside! SO why the eff were you badgering me knowing you already had another way. I didn’t go! I went to sleep! Tay’s pissed needless to say.

Saturday evening Deacon wanted to have dinner. I had stood him up Friday, he didn’t know of course. He had wanted to hang out and I was still in that “I don’t think I like him” mode so I said I was too tired. However, clearly not too tired to go shake my rump with Kendall. By Saturday, I still didn’t want to go but he suggested a place I love and I hopped up quick. Typical spoiled Jaycee. I actually had a good time, I must admit. We sat and ate and talked, and I realized I’m a jerk. I left him after that and he probably wanted to hang but I wasn’t sure if he did the bar scenes. He did have a beer at dinner though so I’m probably overthinking as usual. Still I didn’t invite him, I called Taylor and Tish, and they came last minute to meet me at a bar. Alex beat them there. We were sitting outside by the water just talking and I was bored out my mind. He didn’t know I had invited my friends. But boy was I glad I did! They got there and the night started. Alex ordered a drink and didn’t ask if I wanted one. Tish got shots right before and he saw me take it, so clearly he could have offered. We moved to the bar and Taylor is half-Asian, so immediately some Asian guys began ordering us rounds. I don’t know what it was but it was delicious! Meanwhile Alex is back and forth in the bar, I kept trying to include him but I guess he felt awkward. We were never going to work anyway, not that I’d been considering him, I just felt bad I never hung out with him. But he had told me he didn’t believe in God or religion…………… game changer! I was not a perfect Christian but I was one so him totally not being a believer wouldn’t work at all.

“Are you an atheist?” I had asked.

“I wouldn’t call it that, but I definitely don’t believe in that stuff, its total bullshit” he had said.

Soooooo what would you call it then? That’s what I wanted to ask, but it was irrelevant at this point. We actually had a fun night and after my friends left he walked me to my car.

“I was actually worried, I was like she already ate, she doesn’t drink, what are we going to do tonight?” he laughed as we walked.

You never offered one, I was sipping all night. Again stuff I wanted to say but at this point…. Irrelevant.

He hung around my car making small talk, My side of the conversation kept going like this:

I should get going.

I have church in a few hours.

I have to pee.

Yeah well its getting late

Yep, I definitely have to pee.

Well it’s been fun, I’ve got a little drive ahead of me….. And I have to pee.

He kept right on talking until finally I got rude with it, started my car, and shut my door. Adios Alex!

He texted me Sunday and Monday but I hope he got the hint, Jaycee was overrrrrr it!

Sunday at church, I saw Deacon but I did not speak, lol childish. We went out to lunch afterwards, and then to his house because my brake light had went out. I hung out for a bit and we talked for hours. I liked him again J Around 7p.m I had to go meet Baby Boy at the house. When I got there, my Dad was hugging me and Cam sat in the car. Clearly, he was going to make this awkward. I knocked on his window and waved hello. He acted like it was a shock that I was there (bad actor). They hung out for a bit, I got Cam to put Baby Boy’s car seat back in my car, and that is where I realized he hadn’t changed.

My mom and dad were chatting on the porch and Cam whispered “I see your car is cleaned hmmph”.

I igged him but he kept right going “And this seat is pushed back, must have had a guy in here.” He irked me. I have brothers, cousins, uncles, whoever but he immediately wanted to pick. Ol insecure behind, ughhhhhhhhhh.

Monday was spent shopping with my Mom for my townhouse. I move this weekend!!!!
