My Weekend with Miles

You know... Plane Guy with an 'e' not an 'i'....After “reconnecting” via text, email and phone and after 3 tentative weekend plans to finally see one another, the opportunity presented itself – I was going to see the handsome man I met on a flight back to LA about a year more previously.  What was so sweet about this reunion was to hear how excited he was to see me!  I was committed to spending 2 days with my family and two days with him.

November 2010, about over a year from the last time I had laid eyes on Miles, I anxiously waited for him to pick me up from my sister's house.  Since I was visiting for a short weekend, the communication efforts kicked up to more frequent in anticipation.  For the next 32 hours, it was just going to be us, finally in the same time zone, in one of the best cities.  My phone rang as he pulled up front, I grabbed my bag as my sister and long-time girlfriend checked him out from the window.  In the very long elevator ride down that mimicked my stomach anxieties, the doors opened and there he stood with a big smile on his face and threw his hands up to say, “Finally!”  We hugged hello and he carried my bag to his car.  Knowing my sister and J-Kat were still watching, I found it amusing when he asked if they could see us. When I said yes, we both looked up and waved.

It was about a 40 minute drive into the city and we chit chatted about Thanksgiving events.  We first stopped at his place cause he “forgot something,” but I was just curious to see where he lived.  As soon as the elevator closed, he leaned and kissed me until we arrived at the 35 floor. A great way to start our weekend!!   I met the temporary roommate, and I was introduced as his “friend from LA.”  We dropped our bags at the hotel prior to check in, yes he sprung for a hotel, then we headed to a bar to watch come college ball (his college team was playing in one of the biggest games of the year; I just happen to love football).  Now I can’t say that things weren’t a bit awkward since we haven’t seen each other in a long time but he’s easy to talk to and I make friends wherever I go so there was plenty of activity going on around us.  After we ate something and watched most of the game, we moved our seats to the inner bar where there are couches to lounge on since we were roasting by the window (it was 20 degrees outside, but about 100 by the window)…now that was his main objective, perhaps mine too, to get within closer proximity to each other vs. sitting across from one another one with the anticipation building.  

I’m not much into PDA but how can you not with someone you NEVER get to see let alone with someone you’ve been very much looking forward to seeing!  It was like we picked up where we left off but different somehow.  Perhaps 3 months of build up projects that. We checked into the hotel and hung out for awhile then ventured out for hot chocolate and walk down Michigan Ave.  PERFECT!  Holding his hand and taking in the holiday spirits, well I couldn’t have asked for more.  We stopped and grabbed a nibble and a glass of wine then headed back to the hotel to warm up.  We actually fell asleep for a bit and there’s nothing more that I like that snuggling up next to a man!

THERE'S MORE TO COME...THIS WEEKEND AIN'T OVER...STAND BY!
