Jessica’s version of The Night We Met:  We met Friday the 7th of December.  I was out with a coworker & his friend.  We had been there for several hours when I returned from a trip to the bathroom and his friend introduced me to someone sitting at the stool next to mine.  I hadn’t seen him there earlier, there was someone else at the bar most of the night. Jessica! Meet Peter.  I turn to him, we shake hands, he smiles warmly.  I am tipsy so am already smiling warmly.  We talk the rest of the night.  I forgot I had come with two other people.  He’s from New York & he has a great accent & he’s Italian.  He is taken with my eyes- they are hazel but were really green that night.  He asked that I see him Saturday for dinner & I didn’t agree as I had assumed it wouldn’t pan out.  I had promised some other friends that I would stop by my favorite bar across town so I asked him if he would accompany me.  My coworker & friend freaked out but after speaking to him, decided they trusted him enough to leave with me.  He was happy to come along & drove us (thankfully as I was getting very drunk.)  So we go to the other bar & it was just closing so we went elsewhere where I ate a turkey burger & he had a regular burger.  We headed to my place to watch a movie.  The dog instantly loved him.  We watched a little of the movie but I was tired so I asked him to leave. But when he went to leave, his car wasn’t there!  I think I told him to park in the incorrect parking spot and my apartment complex tows anything without a sticker & aparently they had towed him.  So I tried to start my neon, which had been sitting for months & surprse! it didn’t start.  He called a cab & they arrived shortly after to take us to my car which I had left at the parking garage at the first bar of the night.  After we get to the top of the parking garage, I realize that I must have left my keys in the cab. So he calls the cab back & we retrieve the keys.  We pick up my car and drive to the parking  lot to rescue his car from the tow lot but turns out the tow truck driver was out picking up several cars from an accident.  We wait 2.5 hours.  By the time we get his car & leave, I don’t get home until 4am. Would you have called me back after all that? 

He did. & after our date that Saturday, we have spent every day we can together.

And Then there was the TRUTH.

So it did pretty much start out like she said, i was there watching the game not really paying much attention to anyone and ended up in a conversation with her friend.  Then she comes and sits down next to me, introductions were made and what can i say we hit it off.(it’s mostly because i’m the hottest thing since sliced bread especially with my christmas tree hat) anyway, we get to talking, and i’m intrested. so i ask for her number and if she would like to go out sometime, which she agreed to. so she invites me to this other bar and then the fun begins.  we goto the parking garage to get our cars and i asked her if she was alright to drive, she said yes. then she proceeded into her car, starts it up, puts it in reverse and then stomps on the gas driving.  needless to say i ended up driving, i just couldn’t bear the thought of all those destroyed street signs. so we go to this place and the whole way there she’s talking about how great this place is and how i’ll really like it, and now it’s closed.  so off we go to the nearest watering hole to get some food and more drinks, yes more drinks because at this point what could one more hurt.  things are going well, but its getting late so i bring her home and she invites me in to hang out for a bit. i was distracted and misakingly took the noise of the tow truck jacking my car for a garbage truck.  when i finally decided that i’ve been up way too long and need to go home i go outside and my car is gone.  so i’m like those bastards took my car and started to call the police. she stops me and said that it was just towed. (i got towed because she told me to park in the wrong spot) and the rest is pretty much the same. and yes after all that i still wanted to go out with her.

P.S. this is really more of a skewed truth. some names and events have been left out or changed as necessary to protect the innocent.
