10 GDW’s: Week 10 – Just the Right Amount of Wrong
I’m always experimenting with something. This post happens to be part of the 10 Guys, 10 Drinks, 10 Weeks experiment. You can see the others here. Enjoy the laughs, I sure am!
Guy #10. Drink #10. Week #10.
I wanted #10 to be him. At the very least, I wanted it to mean something. I wanted it to be special. But when I told him my feelings, what I wanted, he, in most unkind words, basically said he’d give me a date when pigs fly & hell freezes over. Ouch doesn’t do it justice, but ouch. The words cut deep.
What hurt the most? He’d invite the random girl he met in an elevator to Greece, but he wouldn’t even give me a single chance; a few hours to look at things differently.
So? C’est la vie. When you give it your all and that’s the response, what else do you do? I wish I knew.
Nevertheless, #10 was just the right amount of wrong and an unforgettable experience of firsts. And lasts.
The drink? Champagne. A must for an opening. The dress? Gold. The boy? Different, cultured and impeccably dressed. A modern day Bond, James Bond.
We stood thisclose to the first dice roll, bet it all on black, ate, drank, looked out over all of Las Vegas and reminded ourselves of the magic of the Vegas lights. We ended the night with a live performance by Brandon Flowers, a Vegas local and lead singer for The Killers. It was an excessive, indulgent night.
The drink? Not my speed, but just like putting on a little black dress, exciting. The boy? Well it’s not him. But, one day I won’t compare everyone to him. I won’t want to text him to share in the night.
And the project? Albeit I didn’t find what I was looking or hoping for, it was fun as hell. Who knows, maybe I’ll do it all over again until I find the guy who wants me
