jackpot.

Last night I went out to the local university watering hole with my old guy roommates and my girl friend Anna. Our huge reunion had been long overdue, as X didn't really like my roommates and he wasn't too comfortable with my hanging out with single-and-looking-for-some-fun Anna.

Anyway, so there was this drop dead gorgeous guy with my roommates. I guess they all know each other through surfing(?), or something along those lines. He was tall, at least 6'3" with light green eyes, dirty blonde hair and a smile that could light up a room. Since I'm kind of tall for a girl, above average height on men catches my attention right off the bat. But above average height and good looks? It was impossible not to stare.

Anna also knew him through school, even though he just recently transferred somewhere else. Everyone introduced him to me as Nick. We exchanged a few polite words as anyone would, but then that was about it. He was certainly quite the catch, but I didn't think much else of our meeting as he didn't seem interested. I didn't care - although grimy, that place was a gold mine for cute boys.

Later that night, Anna pulled me aside.

A: Ohmygod. Nick is totally into you it's not even funny.
M: What?! You're kidding. He's uber cute but he doesn't seem the least bit interested.
A: He's just intimidated by you. Trust me! 


Indeed, after a few drinks, Nick did wander over to our side of the table to talk to me and Anna. She slyly left us "to go to the bathroom", making it so obvious that she wanted to leave us alone. I'd have to thank her though, because he later got my number and said we should hang at the beach sometime.

I've never been more excited to get my tan on.
