The weekend had finally arrived.
She was spending most of it moving into her new house and getting ready for my visit. Only a few of her friends even know that I existed, so I refrained from calling during the day that she was moving. I had sent her roses that showed up on her doorstep the day that she closed. She was excited about that and didn't have much problem explaining them away. The card attached was rather innocuous and didn't have my name on it anyway.
My "meeting" was early on Monday, or so my story went. I had planned it almost a month in advance with all the trappings. "I can't believe I have to go," I would say. "I have to get a hotel Sunday night. I need to leave early so that I don't have to drive in the dark." Of course I had no meeting and I could care less if I drive in the dark. More than that, I was in no way planning to stay in a hotel.
We kept saying that we shouldn't get our hopes up. She warned me that she had a big nose and a big ass. I basically told her that I was really coming to see her nose or ass, just her. I was a little conservative to what she was used too, so I told her to let's just see how it goes.
I left Sunday at about 2:00 in order to get there by around 5:30 or 6:00. I called her and let her know that I was on my way. She had asked me to get some wine on the way down. I didn't realize that the state she was in didn't sell alchohol on Sunday and then the store I stopped at before I crossed the line was the only dry county in my state. Fuck!
I got a call from the folks at the office to remind me of my "business meeting". Not too long after that I got another call from her to check on my progress. I was about an hour away at this point and the "I can't wait's" and "I hope this is great" started on the other end of the line.
I pulled into a store close to her house and bought some mixers and then talked to her the rest of the way in. A couple of turns later and I saw her house lit up like Christmas tree. You really couldn't miss it. I think every light was on in the house to make sure that I didn't miss it. I pulled into the drive and heard "I see your car......oh my god!" we hung up and I got out of the car....
