A lovely night

Last night , Claire hosted a Christmas get together at her place. It was so much like what would go on at Joan's on Girlfriends. We played games in an organized fashion. We had drinks and jokes as usual. The adulteress was there but it didn't bother me. She, too, is a part of the past. I treated her like anyone other acquaintance and was friendly. The two minions were there as well but they didn't bother me either. We all had a grand time. We played this game called park bench and I learned that I have a very comedic acting style. Who'd think? It was cool though.. I enjoyed myself so much that I didn't make it to celebrate with Suzette . I'll have to make it up to her somehow. I didn't get drunk but did get good. At two different times in the night both Cliff and J asked me if I've slimmed down and then asked me to spin while nodding in approval. Lol, fools.Anyway, it was a great time overall.

On my way home the cab driver, Jamal, tried to hit on me. Asked me if I wanted to go have breakfast at a diner. He was asking all of these questions about my night and I told him about the get together. He's one of those drivers that make the ride interesting with oonvo so we chatted. He thought I was 19 until I revealed my age and thanked him. Then asked why I wasn't married. Then I recalled his name and reminded him that he picked me and Brando up a few weeks ago with Mel in the front seat. He was hitting on her on the way to my house and the station. I remember she was surprised that he had mixed cf of r&b and rap because he was Pakistani, I believe. His memory came back once he saw the house. He still offered me his number and I took his card for cab related reasons. That's a step up from the bus driver on Thursday. I told him I wasn't interested in dating. Mr 4:15 who drives recklessly. I knew he was watching me in that mirror a while back. He's the one who I wanted to report for driving foolishly. I went to the front of the bus as we were approaching my stop and he extends his hand out and I look at him and told him I am not shaking it. He played like he was hurt. Then I told him he drove much better in the rain since he was actually safe that day. I proceeded to tell him that he is reckless and this isn't a G35.He said he never had anyone complain about his driving and he was hurt but he'll do better. He asked me what I knew about the car and then we started chatting. He offered me his number after asking if I was married or taken . I told him I am in school and that's my lover. He asked if I he can give me his number anyway. I told him not to because I honestly won't call. I'm not interested in dating anyone new right now.I was polite about it. He said he respected it. Plus, I've learne dy lesson about dating men who work in places I frequent. Mr 4:15 is no exception because if things go awry- I'd have to avoid that bus. My girls said at least I was honest but I felt badly. I was sort of cut throat in a nice way ? I'm interested in dating now that finals are coming up and I have like oooo two weeks off but it's whatever. Passive Patty is my name.
