my lucky encounter at lunch today

when i bring my lunch i like to go eat in the park when the sun is shinning. today the sun was shinning.

if you have to know, i was eating an avacado and smoked gouda bagel sandwich with a bit of lettuce. i may or may not have also had some carrots and a newman’s own juice box (stolen from my roommate).

so i’m finished with lunch and now i’m reading the book i brought and can’t seem to ever finish but really enjoy, the illiad. i’m at book 16, so i’m getting near the end. i’m completely engrossed in this book, but that doesn’t stop this girl from walking up to me and sitting down on the bench, with every intention of starting a conversation. i think i might recognize her from laying on the grass about 50 yards away while i was eating. she was working on her tan, but now she has her shirt and shorts back on.

she’s really smiling and asks me what i’m reading. i tell her and then there is this awkward silence. then she asks if i mind that she interrupted my reading. i tell her that i just have to finish the chapter i’m on because i’m at a really good part. i mean come on, this is the part where hector is taunting patroclus – “you deemed that you should sack our city, rob our trojan women of their freedom, and carry them off in your ships to your own country. fool!” – pfft, like hell i was going to just wait to read this part later. patroclus could die at any second here! i didn’t want to miss this part, no matter how good her tan was.

yeah, so she wasn’t expecting me to say yes to her interruption question and she gives a confused look as she gets up and walks back to her space on the grass.

to tell you the truth i didn’t even notice she left until she appeared again saying: “i figured i can wait till you’re finished”

i finish a few minutes later and ask her what’s up, she says: “well, i’ve seen you here before, eating lunch, and just had to ask you something. i’m getting tired of coming here to eat my lunch and get a tan every day. so i was just wondering if the same is true with you, and if you’d rather we just have sex instead of lunch.”

i tell her that she knows how to get right to the point and she kind of laughs.

i tell her that she does have a nice tan going, which she tells me she appreciates me saying.

i tell her that i dig her approach style.

then i have to tell her that we can’t start tomorrow because i already have plans.

but now i think you know how i’ll be spending my lunch every day next week.

let the sex for lunch begin.
