The story of Shannon
During the days of Eric trying to convince me that we were swingers we were at the bar. Eric was out dancing with crazy married lady (cml) and this tall goofy looking guy (glg) kept walking by staring at my boobs. Cml comes back to the table and Eric goes to dance with someone else.
Glg and his buddy are now standing by the DJ booth and glg keeps pointing at me. Cml starts making a big deal about the guys checking me out. They wander off and Eric comes back, and of course cml has to tell him all about it.
The next time Eric walks away from the table glg's friend comes over and intruduces himself and says that his friend thinks I'm hot and wants to know if I will dance with him.
"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" is the song the DJ is playing and I look at the guy like he has two heads and say "I'm not dancing with anyone to this song!"
"Oh."
"If he wants to come over here later on his own and ask me to dance I might."
Eric drags me out to dance with him, which I hate doing because he dances like an idoit. Glg is dancing by himself so when cml makes her way out to rub her ass on Eric I go dance with glg.
When I've had as much of this fun as I can stand I make my way back to the table. Glg follows me and gives me his number because he doesn't want to be creepy and ask for mine. (Yes he actually said that.) He tells me he is from South Dakota and he just moved to Fargo to live with his friend and they came to Grand Forks to visit his friend's girlfriend.
Then he starts to tell me that he doesn't know where he is staying for the night because he doesn't want to be a cock blocker.
This is when I get creeped out, you won't ask for my phone number but you pretty much just asked if you could come home with me. This is where I play the my ex-boyfriend still lives with me card.
Good glg is gone to try to find some other girl to take him home for the night so he doesn't have to sleep in his truck.
But now I have to deal with Eric. Another man has shown interest in me and there isn't another woman in this scenario. So he gets jealous which leads to us fighting and then him spending the next couple weeks taking my car to the bar and leaving me stuck at home with no transportation.
I eventually get tired of just having the TV and cats to keep me company so I call glg's phone, that is a mistake because he is very self centered and boring. All he talks about is driving trucks and how many times he had to change his head light on this run to the east coast.
After about a week of that I stoped answering is calls and text messages.
Seven months later it is a new year and I'm sending text messages to tell eveyone happy new year and guess who gets one. You got it glg!
As I never gave him the piece of ass he was looking for he had deleted my number. And true to glg standards he had a friend call my phone to find out who I was. Enter Shannon. As soon as I explained how glg knew me he was calling me from his own phone.
So glg starts calling me again. He is now living back in South Dakota and driving school bus. But since I live by myself now if I want to be his girlfriend he will moved to North Dakota.
He hasn't gotten any more interesting in the last seven months. So when he tells me that his friend Shannon keeps bothering him to give him my number I tell him to do it because I really can't handle talking to him anymore.
Shannon calls a couple days later and for a girl that doesn't like talking on the phone I started spending a lot of time on the phone after work. For the next week or two Shannon and I spent at least 3 hours on the phone each night. And he would call and wake me up in the morning to say hi before he went to work.
He was so easy to talk to, I felt like I could tell him anything. When he asked me to go down there to meet him I decided to take a chance and go.
I had no idea where I was going so he was worried all day while I was traveling. He kept calling to check on me and make sure I hadn't gotten lost. When I got to town so he gave me directions to the Ramada Inn and left work for a little bit so he could lead me to his house.
He shows up at the Ramada jumps out of the work truck comes up tells me hi and wraps me up in his arms and gives me the biggest hug.
When he is done hugging me he gives me a kiss at the dumpster in the parking lot of the Ramada Inn. Such a romantic place for a first kiss, but I know that it is one that I'll never forget.
The weekend is wonderful. He is such a cute dork I am glad I went against everything common sense told me and went to meet him.
He took me to dinner the first night I was there, we were supposed to go out the some of his co-workers but they all decided they had had a hard day at work and didn't want to go to the bar.
The next night he went all out and cooked dinner for me. It was so cute. He bought wine glasses (which we drank Budweiser from) and candles and made spaghetti with chicken breast.
After dinner it was off to the bar. Where I actually drank and had a good time. (I normally drink water as I usually end up leaving the bar and playing babysitter for Eric.)
I actually had such a good time with him that I called in sick so that I could spend an extra day with him before driving home.
Shannon and glg drive to Fargo to visit me at the end of February. Glg still drives me crazy and I wish Shannon could have come alone.
I've run out of room in this box so I will tell the rest of the story later.
