CHICAGO CHICO (Part 2 of 2)

When we last saw Judy, she was having a drink with Chicago Chico, when a "lovely" latina woman approached her, told her he's a great guy and an amazing kisser.  She told Judy - "He's an amazing kisser....I should know - I kissed him - TEN YEARS AGO!"  My response:  "Well, thank you for the endorsement. I'll let you know if he's improved."

Why in the world would a woman come up to me and let me know the man is an amazing kisser unless she was genuinely sincere...NOT!!  LOL...I think there may have been a sense of jealousy and I felt she was trying to sabotage an opportunity.  To avoid getting catty, I asked her, "Who are you here with  by the way?"  Ready for the answer, my friends??  She says, "I'm here with my husband - he's right there."  Wow...lol...he wasn't even standing 3 feet away from her!  I kindly leaned in and asked her, "You would say another man is an amazing kisser with your husband within earshot of you?"  "Oh, my God!  You think he heard me?"  I don't know, but I think you should get back to him just in case.  Wow...I almost didn't believe it if I hadn't seen it.

Chicago Chico asked me, "What did she say to you?"  I told him everything and he was amused that I thanked her for the endorsement.  We joked around a bit and asked the questions all people ask each other during a first conversation.  He was adorable and thanked me for choosing to have a drink with him out of everyone in the club.  He asked me again if I had really remembered him and I responded with a confident yes...

"So, Judy, if you remember meeting me, you remember our kiss?"
"You didn't kiss me."
"Yes, I did."
"No, you didn't."
"How are you so sure?"
"Because if you had kissed me and if you did it well, I would remember - believe me!! (LOL.)  And 'm sorry to say this, but if you did kiss me, it wasn't that good."  I admit I was having fun...I was also aware that everyone at the bar was staring at us.  There were two women on the left that were eyeing him and a man on my right eyeing me.  We discussed the possiblity of what they were thinking. when the man walked up to me.

He whispered in my ear with a scolding tone: "Judy, Navy Guy is going to be pissed off!!  How could you do that to him?"
Oh
my
God...seriously?? LOL.
"Sir, if you follow my blog, you will know that Navy Guy repeatedly told me he didn't want a relationship and because of that, I am keeping my options open.  I do care about him. I do have feelings for him, but I cannot wait for someone who can't tell me he cares for me."  With that statement, he nodded and simply walked away.  Hm, for the first time, I wondered if blogging someday will come back and kick me where it hurts.  Back to Chicago Chico.

We talked again, and to his credit, he didn't ask me any career questions - he asked me about what I like to do for fun, what I look for in a man, etc.  Then he recapped, "So, you're saying if I had kissed you, you would've remembered?  So why do you remember me after all this time?"  "Because," I told him, "I remembered your smile."  A few people asked me for pictures which I did for them...and about 3 minutes later, I don't know what got into me, but i flirted...

"So...how will I remember you next time?"
"I don't know...what do you mean?"
"What will you do this time to ensure I remember you next time?"
He sat silently smiling.
"Um, okay, I don't want to misunderstand  you here, or do something respectful...what are you saying to me?"
"I'm saying...(deep breath)...if you kissed me well, I'd definitely remember you."
"Right now?"
"Right now!"  My unexpected answer actually made him blush.  It was so sweet...
He put his head down, looked back up at me...and with absolute confident intention, he looked at me, leaned in while staring into my eyes, slowly (that's important, the slowly, lol) leaned into me, put his hand on my face...
Oh, my God...I freaking LOVE the hand on the face...to me, it's a true mark of a man with character and affection.
And just before our lips touched, he looked at me again, and there was almost a moment of pause.  Oh, the anticipation - love that too!
And then he kissed me.  Wow....talk about making a good first impression. It was the exact kiss I asked God about earlier that day...God truly answers your prayers!!  Thank You, God, thank You, God!! You heard me loud and clear...and You delivered!!!  LOL.  I had to admit this is not my nature - it's kind of tacky to me to kiss someone so soon, but it felt right, and I know I was on borrowed time, since I was leaving the club in less than an hour and going to the airport in less than two.  But it seems like once or twice a year, I step out of my comfort zone and find that breaking your rules SOMETIMES pays off!

I was aware that peopel were watching us, so I believe we both were somewhat more reserved than usual, but it didn't take away from the intensity of it.  I don't know what will come of this...but I do know this...so far Chicago Chico has called me everyday since.  I hope I get booked in Chicago again!!
