First Date!
I had a little bit of vampiric delay on my way to Morrow, but I still managed to get there right on time. And Ramone was waiting on me. We thought about walking to Heritage station, but we both came to the conclusion that we'd probably be bothered by vampires and then I'd have to get my dress all messed up slaying them, and I really don't want to be bothered by that kind of distraction when I'm supposed to have a nice relaxing evening. Anywho, we drive to the restaurant and Ramone already had a table reserved for us, isn't that the coolest? And the waiter was really awesome too! I haven't had a waiter that great since the last time I was in New York. The restaurant even had a braile menu, though Ramone said that he's gotten good enough to read regular text by feeling the slightly raised ink. That is so amazing, I never knew you could do that. I was pretty shy around Ramone, and he doesn't talk much, but when he does say something it's definately worth listening too. I on the other hand tend to say stupid stuff when I'm shy or nervous, or just around people in general. For instance, I think we were really starting to hit it off when I told Ramone about this strange dream I had the other night. It was a pretty scary dream, full of cackling evil women and most of the people in the gang. I remember her mocking me with this horrid looking knife as Ramone watched me powerless, but then I woke up. I thought he might be interested in hearing it, which I think he was, but he seemed to be more stressed out about it than interested in it . Did I say something wrong? I was just a dream, right?
Well after dinner the evening was still young so Ramone and I decided to hang out by the river. Luckily I had some lawn chairs in the back of the hummer so we both had comfortable seats. After a while I guess we ran out of things to say and I think both of us were searching for something to say. Then Ramone did that yawn arm stretch thing! I didn't know what to do, I mean it was corny as all heck not to mention the oldest trick in the book, but I kinda liked his arm around me. I mean, did he really think I wouldn't notice that, or did he do it obviously for laughs? I didn't know what to do, so I just did exactly the same thing he did! Imagine the look on his face! haha. Then it was back to awkward silence. I searched for something to say, something to make idle chit chat, but all I could think of was "Doesn't the river look beautiful tonight?" Ugh! Stupid thing to say Natalie! Stupid stupid stupid. I started stammering an apology and would've smacked myself upside the head, but my hand was already occupied. However, when I voiced this thought to Ramone, he did the funniest thing by tapping me on the side of my head with the arm he had around me. That made me laugh and the rest of the evening was not a bit awkward after that.
We didn't kiss or anything, but we did hug each other goodbye, and Ramone did seem to want to do this again. I hope so, I really think he a pretty cool guy. Not to mention the cute factor! Maybe next time we can go out to the stables and I can take him horseback riding. I hope he likes horses.
