Every day I go and mother's help with Nora. Every day after we spend the morning at the pool she eats lunch in a half hour and then promptly takes a three hour nap. Between swim lessons and napping I feel like I get paid to do very little actual work, but I'm not stupid enough to complain.
I hang out near the pool during swim lessons and chat with cute boys. Cute lifeguard boys. Okay, mainly one cute lifeguard boy in particular. Today he asked me out. Well yesterday he asked me out but today's asking was more important because I said yes.
I didn't want to tell him I have a second job at night so just said there were plans but I could meet him afterwards. Dani had to pick up Alex and I snuck them into the diner and got them dinner. A lot of our friends are not around - everybody goes on vacations in the summer. Everybody except us. Especially on weekends - the city feels empty on weekends. I think Aunt Elaine wants us to go away too - she wants a vacation from us.
Met up with the lifeguard and we went to a late dinner. I felt bad - forgot to ask where we were going and I felt a little underdressed for where we wound up. But I didn't get turned away at the door so I guess it was okay.
Nick was funny - he kept making all these jokes about how stupid Italians are. He is 20 and in college. Not now because it's summer but like, during the year. I didn't do or say anything stupid I think (hope). He said I looked cute. We got a booth and when I slid in Nick slid in next to me. At one point Nick asked me something and while I was answering he slide his arm around my back and was massaging my neck really slowly.
When we were walking out the waitress walked in between us and whispered to me, "He's cute, but a player. Be careful." That player got me a taxi and paid for it to send me all the way home.
Oh yeah, and I ate a salad that had shrimp and other seafood in it, and bread and butter.

Waitress sounds like a smart person. You should listen. Nice dinner, massaging the neck... be careful here. You don't owe anyone anything.
I remember doing dinner and a movie with a guy I'd met at a party. He paid for everything, he drove. After the movie, when we got in his car, he wanted to make out. I barely knew him, so I said no. He was gentleman enough to stop, but I look back now and wonder what might have happened if he hadn't stopped. I know I would have gotten out of there fast, but it's still a little freaky.
It sounds like it was a fun night, but I'm glad the waitress gave you a heads up. (I love shrimp salad!)
