the days are long and short

So I wrote this note that said “You’re the greatest thing since sliced bread” rolled it up into a cigarette sized tube and wedged it into part of the wire frame of a patio chair at the restaurant that I planed to take her to on our date that night. I’d also taken one of the napkins from the restaurant and written “feel inside your chair” on it. I figured I’d switch out her napkin for the one I’d written on once we got there.

When I went to pick her up she was talking on her cell phone with some guy she went to college with. She kept mouthing to me that she was almost done but eventually she handed me the tv remote and disappeared into her bedroom. I watched King Of the Hill, The Simpsons, and half of her Lost Boys dvd while listening to her laughing at his jokes thru the bedroom door.
