Houston, all is actually fine thanks

I get my final wake up call from my phone. Mike informs me that he will be glad to pick me up.

I give what are theoretically directions to him. He amazingly gets here without getting lost. Of course Mom and Sis have to spy from window. Silly gals.

We head to eat at Vortex. Yes, nice burger. Mine was plain and simple, his was mexican styled. I got the fries, but the tots looked much better, and besides, had that extra crisp.

He wasn't nervous today, as he ate his full plate.

We later, headed to Cafe Intermezzo. My, the place is quite interesting. I've been told the atmosphere is better at night, but it suited me just fine. I had some white chocolate chocolate, and a mousse chocolate cake. Mike had a chocolate gnache patte. They were both good, but were rich. My cake didn't have quite the taste I expected, but it was good. We chatted, and he seemed a tad nervous, to which later I found out why.

I walked to his car, from Intermezzo, and he chatted a bit. Found out, he wanted to give me a hug. Also, that when I had my hands near him in the table, we would have liked to hold them. So the nervousness came from the hesitance. How cute. It suffices to say that he is cute period, but I'll stop the syrupy adjectives at this point (well, paragraph anyways.)

We ended up holding hands a bit in the car. Yeah, I know, sappy, but it was nice.

Anywho, we then went to Arte Forma. A furniture store that he liked. I thought it had some great furniture. Some that I would by myself without thinking twice about it. There were plenty of pieces that were plenty cozy. He has a great bed chosen for his loft, which has a great design.

Ohh, I do have to mention that we ended up sneaking a hug in the upstairs area of Arte Forma. Yeah, naughty us. *grins*

He considered visiting a friend, but wasn't sure if the friend would be quite proper, so we skipped that.

He then drove me home, where we chatted a bit more, and realized that we have both made a point to take things slow. It is so darn difficult though, but we shall manage. That translates that there was not a goodbye kiss, but we will leave that for a more magical moment.

It's all turning out to be wonderful so far, but, as we have said. We don't want to dive in head on, and get hurt.
