Random Hot Guys.. Part 1

'People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime...' You just never know..
1. The Pilot: I fly so much it stands to reason I would date a pilot ent? Not so.. for years I have cursed my airline hook-up luck.. but this fine day I was in the lounge waiting on a [you-guessed-it] delayed flight. I was miserable: attempting to blog and my wireless card wouldn't roam and it was post Heathrow dramas so I was also sick of going thu security and taking off my shoes everytime I wanted a coffee. steups! Then three pilots walked by.. I think everyone looked up just cause we were so happy to see freaking progress.. but one of them caught my eye. Verrrrry handsome. and that uniform! He smiled and.. I shit you not.. tipped his hat. I swear!
'Excuse me, Miss' .. I looked up at the stewardess defensively. Aint no way anyone was getting me off this flight. 'The pilots are inviting you up into the cockpit.. you can leave your bags with me' WTF? ... nobody tell FAA but next thing I know I am sitting on a funny lil pulldown seat and I am enjoying the best view in the house. The two older pilots were real friendly but my hottie was surprisingly quiet. Actually, he did most of the work while the other 2 fraternised with me. Needless to say, some totally random reason why I needed to leave my phone number with them was found. Fly those friendly skies after all!
2. The Scotch Drinker: I was in a club, having a time. A friend pulled me over to introduce me to some guys.. they were artistes and clearly full of themselves. Just beyond them was another guy, sucking scotch thru a straw and watching me hard. He was a cutie.. as I went down the line of guys shaking hands I was looking forward to remembering only his name. Then I realised he wasn't with them. Phooey! I leaned in to listen to what one of the guys was saying.. 'Hey.. I wanna meet you too'. I turned and smiled. He was standing right beside me now, a naughtly little grin on his face. There was something in his face.. You know that ubercorny song 'I knew I loved you before I met you..' I held out my hand.. Suddenly there was yelling in my ear..'Girl.. you won't believe what just happened!' .. I was yanked away by my girlfriend. He pouted as I disappeared into the crowd. I passed that way again later but I didn't see him again. Damn.

had a bad day?

Today I sat in the sucky middle seat on the plane, the flight was delayed, the recycled air irritated my early stage flu and I was trying hard to finish a paper for work tomorrow. The lines in customs were ridiculously long.. I was tired and getting sick.. I hauled my bags off the scanner and headed through the doors.
There was a hot sea of people outside, everything was a blur.. my eyes locked on a very handsome man in the distance. He was drinking water and watching me. He smiled. My heart skipped a beat. In seconds he was in front of me pulling me into his arms. His kiss sent warmth through my body.
So is this what its like? After the drama, the space, the time and the 'talk' .. after all that, there was no need for words. Despite all things in that moment I felt that je nais se quois. He feels, tastes and smells just right. Maybe he is. I am going to bed with a smile on my face.
What a wonderful day. :)

The security guard at this office I visit frequently keeps calling me 'Spicy'.. coincedence? fellow blogger? has my cover been blown? or am I just paranoid?

I need a change..

I need variety. Seriously. Sameness drives me crazy. I have a therapist who says this is the root of why I can't settle down... in one country, in one job, with one man, with one hairstyle and it seems, with one blog :) So I been keeping another version of this blog on the side.. exploring the options .. you know how it goes. Today I really need to be pondering 'settling' and 'down' with some other major aspects of my life but while I work out my stories please take a prips of Island Spice Wordpress stylee and tell me what you think. Danke! Bon dia! Happy Easter!

On silence ..

A long distance relationship is hard.
No we are not together.. but its a relationship .. as yet undefined.
BJ fell into the habit of taking me for granted so very easily. We'd talk online, and usually I'd call once or twice a week. Then I noticed that I was intitating all the conversations and he was acting kinda passive and distant. I asked him what was up. First time he said nothing, everything is as it was. Second time he said its hard to express myself with you so far away and this being our only method of communication. Red flag? White flag? So I just stopped. I stopped calling him, I stopped going online in the evenings to chat. When we did speak however, I was always sweet as pie.

The result:
Day 2: He links me online, 'everything ok, babes?'
Day 5: He initiates an IM conversation, I am pleasant but I have to go..
Day 8: He calls (!) and talks to me for a rather long time.
Day 10: He tells me his detailed plans for the weekend. I didn't ask eh?
Day 14: I come to my computer to find a long conversation from him. it ends with both I miss you and I love you.

Go figure the man who 2 weeks ago was ignoring me. Steups!

I'd rather be..

At Goldeneye in Oracabessa.
At my parents house sleeping.
At Miss Mae's on Hellshire beach.
At the Gap Cafe way up above Newcastle.
At Little Ochi eating lobster in a fishing boat.
I'd rather be anywhere but here in a dinky borrowed office this morning. Its raining outside and I am feeling hungry and sleepy in equal measure. Why oh why must third world lawyers offices look and smell like this?? I promise one day to set up a very swanky practice... with good Blue Mountain Coffee!
So I have tons of work to do but I thought I'd share this photo with the blogosphere. I took it on a morning like this in a place a million miles from here. At the time it didn't seem so special but I am living off those memories right now..
Can you tell I am really looking forward to being back in Jamaica and NOT having to work!! Truth be told I probably won't get to do any of those things except sleep in my parents bed. Just one more week....
