Place and Time

We vowed to keep in touch. And we actually did. We became myspace friends and left each other a few comments and emails. We continued to flirt occasionally (and I continued to be flattered). So, one day, he tells me he and a friend have never been to a country night club that I'm a regular at--they want to check it out and want to know if I might meet them there.

By this time, I was already casually (on and off) dating another guy, but it was just as friends, so I agreed. I was actually really looking forward to it. It would be nice to meet this guy I had been eFriends with for months.
 
So, I was sitting at a table in the corner by myself. A cowboy was standing in front of me, hitting on me...when I looked over the cowboy's shoulder and saw Octavio's face. OH MY GOD! He was cute! Immediately, I interrupted the cowboy and gave Octavio a big hug. The only thing going through my mind was, "Why didn't I want to go out with this guy!!!"
 
We danced all night long and had a great time. During the next week, he came over and helped me dig a trench in the backyard (what a guy!) and fixed my TV. My birthday was that weekend, and I was obligated to a date with the casual, on-and-off guy. The whole day I was thinking about Octavio and couldn't get wait to get home so I could call him.
 
How did he seal the deal? He came over with flowers, birthday balloons, a movie, and two CDs he'd made for me. I couldn't resist any more.
