Table for one, please!

Last night.. or this morning .. Akeem and I broke our record again. We stayed up past 7 am talking . I blame it on his 4-12AM work schedule and my insomnia. Oh, and our readily acknowledgeable need to talk with each other as soon as he gets in and has his coffee.. or during...

He told me that whenever I was ready to meet, he would be ready. Although, he is more than ready now. It's all on me. No pressure. We both said we would love to meet each other soon, but we also like what he have right now just as much. It's nice and refreshing how easily we confide and are comfortable with each other.

I shared with him my little idea about us meeting face to face and he liked it. At first , I was throwing things around. Trying to keep it as casual and low pressure as possible. I said that I could be in B&N, sitting in the aisle , reading a book, and he can come sit right next to me like we are old friends. Or, he can be sitting in his Starbucks, and I come join him and we launch into convo..... like we're old friends. Corny , I know.

Then, I told him about my daydream (I'm foolishly daydreaming) where I go to his restaurant and surprise him by ordering a dessert, but requesting something odd...Like cheese cake with no cheese .Silliness . He said he really liked the idea and I should do it. I don't know the menu, but he tells me I can get the miso cake. It turns out that if you order the miso cake, they let you have something written on it. So I decided to go with it. Eventually, I am going to do what we agreed on. I am going to walk in one day soon, be seated, and ask for a glass of Pinot Noir and Miso with his initials . Then, he will know it's me, he'll peek out the kitchen door and I will wink with a smile. It will be our little secret.. in there at least.
