I had requested off this weekend because Das Bunker was having a Star Wars night. Their 3rd, I believe. Only by the time I got out of work the tickets had already sold out.
Of all days to work a later shift... of course it was yesterday. Figures.
Instead of that, Fett came by my work and waited outside until I was off. We decided to meet later at his place.
Yesterday was incredibly hot out. Like... 100 degrees hot out. Effing GROSS.
Eventually I headed over there around 8. It was starting to get dark out. The air conditioning at his place broke, so he suggested we go outside and have dinner in the back yard where it's cooler.
We brought out our laptop/netbook and phones and sat down to a relaxing, quiet, dark evening accented by the vegetation in his backyard, and the dim green light emitting from behind the waterfall in his pool.
I told him how lovely everything was that night. It was still warm out, but the breeze was refreshing. The sounds of the water from the pool, the silhouettes of the plants, the smell of just being outside for a change... and then he went to turn on the purple lights in the pool.
Because of the winds we've had a few days ago he thought that perhaps the pool water would've been littered with crap, but... it wasn't. We had dinner around 8:30 last night, because I remember messaging my mom about Candy Crush, lol. We got in the pool around almost 9.
He got in some shorts, but I unfortunately had to.... improvise. Haha. The say the least, that didn't matter later on! XD
And, let me just say... that never in my life did I imagine this being possible ...
okay. I can't write about it here because it's like... ultra super duper pg13.
but... my lesbian friends would definitely appreciate this specific aquatic... detail. Lets just say that. LOL
(uh huh.)
We got out at midnight.
Probably one of the happiest moments of my life. I was smiling, and laughing, and so, so happy to be there with someone who felt the same. We were like kids. Haha, very curious kids, but indescribably enjoying an amazing evening together. And dinner was really good. So.
I will never forget this night. He asked me if it was better than what Das Bunker would've been. I was all smiles and could do nothing but hug him. Said yes, obviously! He knew I was kinda bummed. I would've worn his Boba Fett helmet, lol. But... that evening turned out to be so much more than I ever could've imagined.
AND. I finally learned to how hold my breath underwater properly. I've been doing it wrong all these years, lol. People would just tell me "don't breathe" so I'd do literally that. Just... not breathe. But water would still go up my nose. I'd try it again and again, until eventually I just got scared and stopped trying. So I was just the girl that held her nose. LOL but last night that didn't even work anymore because of my septum ring! hahahaha
SO ... I was determined to get it right.
What I wasn't doing before was kinda pushing air out with my mouth closed. Kind of like when you have to pop your ears, you try to push air out of them? Yeah, no one fucking told me that. They would always just say don't breathe, and that's not enough!!! lol. I got so excited and carried away that my last attempt to smash my face into the water without holding my nose got me water up my nose instead, lol. But now I know how to hold my breathe underwater properly, haha. And that'll be a thing that eventually could turn into a detail that my male gay friends would appreciate. HAH
It's okay, we're just mermaids. It's fine.
Aside from my rent going up again, this year has already made up for the last 2 years, and it's only 5 months in.
