I See You Neon
Of All The Places
So it’s my birthday week and my calendar has been booked with quarantine birthday activities. There is a rooftop bar I have been wanting to try for weeks and I finally got a reservation for the week of my birthday, perfect!
I’ve been on a neon green kick this summer so I decided to wear a neon green fitted tee with some high wasted jeans and clear neon green strappy heels. Mr. #BlackAF and I arrive before my brother and his girlfriend so we sit upfront while we await their arrival. I tell the hostess I would like to sit outside so we can see the views and right after that my brother arrives and we are seated at the back patio area.
The place was pretty busy and most of the tables around us were filled. It was really windy and I wasn’t wearing a jacket so I asked if we could be moved inside after all. I’m gathering my purse and putting my mask back on so we can walk through the restaurant when I get a text. I check my phone and it’s a text that says ‘I see you neon”. I look straight ahead at the table in front of me and low and behold it’s Mr. No Lips himself aka #ASWBae (Read More) sitting not even 15 feet across from me. I swear I can’t make this stuff up. I put my mask on, we make eye contact, and I move to a table inside.
Based on the 10 sec glance I gave over to his table it appeared he was on a date or perhaps just having drinks with a female friend. I haven’t talked to him since we went to brunch about a month ago. His lack of upper lip, plus level of unattractiveness, and realizing that he dresses like a guy in a white frat daily (I thought his last wardrobe choice was a one time thing but nah) I was completely unbothered by him. Plus, I’m there with Mr. #BlackAF so I’m extra unbothered. We order our first round of drinks and some appetizers and I see them leave out. Again, unbothered.
About 45 mins or so later I get another text from him asking “when do you leave again”. Like sir really? Now all of a sudden you’re concerned about my whereabouts lol. I respond back I plan to leave Monday and he responds that he will give me a call tomorrow to which I did not respond.
The next day comes and goes, Mr. #BlackAF and I are busy being tourist and bike riding around the city having an awesome day. That night I get a text from him again, this time apologizing for not calling me like he said because ‘“it got crazy” for him. One of the main turnoffs with him was that he was always apologizing for things. I swear he’s the most ‘Sorry I…’ guys I’ve ever met. Bless him though. I am so not interested in him or anything he is talking about so I responded “no worries, I’ve been celebrating my birthday anyway so things have been crazy for me too lol” expecting that to dead the conversation.
I continue on with my evening and now, of course, he wants to text me back to back. He sends a few more texts trying to explain himself to which I respond, “Aww that’s cute.” Saying “aww that’s cute” to guys is my new “I don’t give a sh*t"”. Lol. He sends another text trying to keep the conversation going and now I’m over it completely. I text him back “ I was being sarcastic cause I really don’t care” followed by a thank you for the belated birthday wish. Finally he stops texting.
I think we are on the same page now. Lol.
-Sincerely, Sis
