Long Weekend: Kickball Girl
Tuesday, July 12, 2005So I guess I've teased you all long enough, I should spill the beans about Kickball Girl. Judging by your comments you're all dying to know. Well except Trashy who's just waiting to get a positive ID so she can sick Minion on the poor girl ;O)
Anyway, so I go to kickball like usual. Ever since week one, there's one girl I had my eye on, but was sure she was dating a different member of the team since she would always give him a hug before the game. That and she went to a wedding with this same guy.
Several weeks back one of the other girls on the team gave be her number and Kickball Girl said "What? You don't want mine too?" I motioned the phone toward her, but like a dumbass figured she was kidding and pulled the phone back. I didn't notice that she had actually started to reach for it. There was much teasing after that.
Two weeks ago, after The New Redhead and her friend failed to show, there was talk about how there are no cute single girls out there. Kickball Girl chimed in to say "What am I? Chopped liver." More teasing ensued. I explained that I thought she had a boyfriend or was dating someone. She said "No boyfriend and I'm dating lots of people."
So now this past week, we chatted a bit before the game. She mentioned she wasn't going to come out to the postgame. When I asked why she said she had just gotten laid off. I told her "You're coming anyway and I'm buying you two drinks." After a little protest and some help from one of the other girls on the team she decided to come.
After our game, everyone else started to head out to the bar, but KG and I volunteered to referee the next game. After that game was over she said she thought she should move her car so she didn't have to worry about getting towed in the morning. I offered to follow her to her apartment (right near where I used to live) so she could drop off her car and I could give her a ride home later.
We dropped off her car and headed to the bar only to realize she didn't have her ID on her. She said she would just walk home and get it. I would have non of that, so I dropped off the cups for Flip-Cup and ran her home.
After we got back to the bar, she sat with some other people while I went and played some flip cup. After a little while she joined up and played right next to me. One of our teammates must have caught on and kept intentionally bumping her into me. I owe that man a thanks ;O)
Birthday Girl did show up, but she had brought another guy friend and spent most of the night talking to him. We chatted on and off, but it was apparent would be left as just birthday kisses. Turns out this wasn't a bad thing.
There were a few more drinks and some relaxing and chatting after flip-cup died down. Kickball Girl and I ended up sitting nice and snuggly.
After we all decided to call it a night (and that last call was coming up) the team headed our separate ways. KG and I hopped in my car and head back to her place. When we got near she asked "Were you just going to drop me off or come up?" Me, being the nice guy I am said "Well, it's up to you, but I'd love to come up." She directed me to a good place to park.
After a couple hours of chatting, sharing a beer and having some water, and eventually a good about of kissing, it hit 3:30 and we decided we should hit the hay. She commented about how she was actually going to wear a shirt since I was there. More snuggling and kissing occurred and eventually we both fell asleep.
We woke up way to ungodly early and just crawled back into bed. More snuggling and kissing ensued. .oO(Yay! It wasn't the alcohol) I set my alarm for the latest I could leave and make it to Big Mikes court time to prolong the snuggling.
Thanks goodness the dress clothes I had to wear to Kickball were neither dirty, nor smelly. Mike did call me the best friend ever for leaving a cute, snuggly girl to come support him. He definitely still owes me.
I haven't felt that good just chatting and snuggling with a girl in years.
So yeah, we talk about getting together after I get back from up north, and talk about food we like. I said something about cooking Jambalaya and she said she never had a guy cook for her. I told her I would have to make her some next week and she agreed. We had a couple goodbye kisses and I was off.
As I mentioned earlier after I got back from the weekend I got a TM asking how it was, and we exchanged a couple after that but made no plans. Today, I sent her one asking if she wanted to do dinner, but she was at the lake swimming. She said lets do dinner tomorrow and asked if I wanted to go Blading later tonight.
She definitely seems interested in hanging out, this makes me very happy. Now I just have to research to possible red flags: the "Dating lots of people" comment and also the supply of "items" stored next to the bed.
She's a very fun girl, athletic, which is something I've been dying to find in a girl, a complete smart ass which is a complete turn on to the Chief and she's smart and interesting. She does definitely have heartbreaker potential, but from our conversations we seem to have a lot in common on the relationship front.
Right now I'm happy I finally have a REAL date for the first time in quite a while. We'll have to see how things go from here. I'm in no hurry and it seems she's not either. If the red flags turn out to be false alarms, there's definitely potential here!
And, since I'm sure you're all curious here she is, fending off the Kickball Paparazzi! Enjoy.

Wow! What a great story. KG is totally cute and it sounds like you both click really well together. I'm glad you got some good snuggly and kissing action as well. ;-) Don't worry about the red flags yet. It's a bit premature for that...just enjoy and see how you get along after a couple of dates. :)

Minion is demanding an exorbitant amount of liver treats for her services so I'll have to hold off on the clandestine attacks right now. I'll just have to wish you luck in the meantime. But I do give you permission to use Minion as a threat to keep her in line.

Marie - It was definitely a good night, we'll see how it goes from there. Did get a little bit of another red flag last night though.
Aurora - I hate contract holdouts. They ruin the fun for everyone. I'll hold on to the minion card till I really need it ;O) -

what??? another red flag???
SPILL IT??
but my thoughts... she's cute. doesn't sound like she's ready for anything serious... not sure how that stands in your book? are you actually looking for a real thing now, or just hanging out for the summer.
and what is flip-cup???? -

Carrie - There will be a post comming about it soon. I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. Part of me just wants to have fun, another part wants to be in love. I'll just have to feel it out.
Flip-Cup is a team drinking game. Teams with equal numbers put some drink in their plastic cup, they start at one end. The first person on each team slams what they have and then puts the cup on the edge of the table. You have to flip it over and once it lands and stays on the brim of the cup, the next person on your team can go. First team done wins. Now that's a real team sport. -

Carrie - I get better with some drinks, but after to many the skill definitely disappears... I'm just about 27 and don't see any signs of improvement any time soon.
Aurora - he worrying is in my nature, I try and kill it with alcohol ;O) -
