I called it a day around 11am. My car was broken (again!) and besides, it was Labor Day! Aren't you supposed to honor it by not working (or doing anything that even closely resembles working)? I wanted to further celebrate the holiday by not washing my face, brushing my teeth, showering, or changing out of my version of pjs - hot girl shorts and a cami. Get over it; Labor Day only comes once a year, duh!
Along with my car, my screen door was also broken. And from my position on the couch, the sound of it banging against the house was getting on the one nerve I had left. Despite my skimpy choice of pajamas, I decided to go outside to fix it. I was fiddling with the door handle, half inside and half hanging out of the house when I heard "Hey girl, I see you coming out here dressed like that!"
I looked towards my across-the-street neighbor's house and saw two people in the yard. Common sense told me the taller one was my neighbor, but my dirty contacts prevented me from figuring out who the other one was.
Until he started walking towards me.
****! That's him!
"Him" is another neighbor's friend from med school. Neighbor #2 introduced him to me almost 5 years ago. And I've had a crush on him ever since! He lives in Alabama and I only see him a handful of times each year. Over the years, I've had to deal with neighbor #2 giving me a play-by-play of my crush's dating life, including a proposal and then a calling off of the engagement. But all the while, I kept on crushin'.
He's walking towards me! ****! I dashed into the bathroom for a quick teeth check just as he knocked on the still-broken screen door.
We hung out for the next 45 or so minutes. He fixed the door, took out the trash, and even rolled up his sleeves and checked under the hood of my car- all without being asked. What a guy! Then he came in and we had a great conversation. Everything was perfect, except for the fact that I was absolutely disgusting!
This is the kind of luck I have. My crush didn't see me in my Easter best; instead he saw me in my Labor Day worst. Funny though, he didn't seem to mind one bit. What a guy! Now that's someone worth having a crush on!
