Hickie on Third and Seventh

Ahh, yes. I finally get to update with the date that happened on Saturday. (a.k.a. date #3)

This date had it's downs, and it's ups. That is for sure.

He came to pick me up after I got home from work. His blue jeep parked in front of my house, and I happily jumped my way to his car.

We first went to 37 Main. It's a nice restaurant, it's dark, soultry, with interesting dish presentations. Albeit, the food was in small portions it was delicious. I had a friend chicken with southern potato salad, and Mike had shrimp and grits. Again, small dishes, and mine was a tad spicier than I would like.

The highlight of this restaurant was the desserts. I had a delicious chocolate mousse that made me want to lick the plate. Mike had a berry soup. It consits mainly of a chilled multi-berry puree, garnished with blueberries and raspberries, all with a dollop of vanilla ice cream in the center. All very much delicious.

We left the restaurant, and ended up driving to a park. First, I ended up having to do a long walk to a restroom, that was in the middle of nowhere. Later we walked along a path, with very many bugs, rought ground, and spider webs all over the place. Not to mention that it was super hot, and we were sweating like crazy. It's in the middle of this, umm, place, that we had our first attempted kiss. Yeah, not what we pictured. Mike sincerelly apologized as we tried to go back to the main park. We just zig-zagged out, while things were bumping into us, and attempting to bite us.

When I got home, i invited Mike in. He met mom, and later met my sister. Downstairs, we got to cuddle a bit, and had an opportunity to redo the kiss. This time it was much much better. Although, I do have to say he left a hickie on my neck.

Oy, I tried covering with makeup, since I did have to work the next day. Turns out I don't know much about make up, and I did a poor job at hiding anything. For the next 3 days, every single person noticed, and commented on my hickie profoundly.

I think a total of 25 or so people made a remark. I was damn proud of my hickie, and was highly amused at how much attention it got, and what was said about. I was informed that I should keep them more private, since those are the fun ones to get. Yeah, I work with a group of "interesting" people. *laughs*

Yes, quite an unforgettable sequence of events.
