Housesitting

A couple of weeks ago I was house sitting for a friend of mine.  Yes my friend who is ten years older than me so don't think I have some 22 year old friend who had a big beautiful house with lots of tending to while on a fabulous vacation.  She was gone for ten days and the little one and I took care of the home while she was away.  Mystery Man had been dying to take me out again but I really didn't feel like setting aside time for him, away from Tatum...blah blah blah.  I already mentioned before that I didn't feel any attraction to him.  I seriously have been trying to figure that out still but I really don't know why.  I guess he is just not my type.  He wanted to do dinner and a movie, and his birthday was the next day so I kindof felt bad about saying no AND as part of the rules I really couldn't say no.  Although I want to add, I think I should be able to say no after I've already been on the "first day" and you will find out later on that I break the rules with Mystery Man...but that's another story.  He literally sent me a text saying that I should cook him dinner. Uhh...no thanks.  I'm not going to cook you dinner and not even get to make out in the kitchen.  I just made up some excuse and said "no" and plus Tatum was with me so that would have taken hours to prep and actually get done.  I lied to him and said I had already eaten because I didn't want him to bring me food.  WHY DID  I DO THAT? Guess what he brought? Guess...


CHIPOTLE.

Grrr. I didn't say a word about it either.  Guess what else?  I can't remember for the life of me what movie he brought over and we watched.  No, not because we were bangin' the whole movie.  Remember I had the tot with me...she was fussy throughout the whole movie and I even nursed her a couple times in attempt to calm her down.  At one point she fell asleep...geez how long was this movie?...and when she was asleep there was a total awkward moment.  He kinda grabbed me and pulled me over to him but I only got like halfway to him and my head was like on his chest/stomach.  I was totally uncomfortable and I was just wondering how long I could stay like that before getting a cramp in my neck.  All of a sudden I just sat straight up and went back to how I was sitting before.  I could hear him say "sorry" under his breath but the moment was so awkward i just kept silent and prayed for the princess to wake up soon.  The movie got over and I just started talking about how tired I was so he would get the hell out.  Tatum was still asleep, which was my worst fear because O LORD he was going to try and kiss me.  I've never really dodged a kiss before, not that I can remember.  In the past I hadn't ever surrounded myself with men who I am not attracted to.  Well I was right, he did go in for a kiss but I went in for the hug and all he got was a kiss on the forehead.  He seemed a little mad that I was cutting the night short and I totally wasn't even tired after he left but everything about him was soooooooooo awkward.  It wasn't that awkward the night we went out for drinks and the swingers tried to pick me up so why was it awkward now?  I needed to cut things off with him QUICK, before he thought I was leading him on.  I wish I would have kept the texts from that night but I just remember him saying that he liked being flirty with me and I never sent him a text back because I was so weirded out by his choice of words.  I told him the next morning that I had just fallen asleep.  He's still begging me to come over to his apartment sometime soon.  I don't know how many times I'm going to have to say no or come up with some excuse.  I'm breaking the rules but shit, I'm not going to let things get even more awkward by going to his apartment and him trying to awkwardly seduce me.  Sorry dude.
