Another spooky moment with the SO and a WG!
Man, had a potential disaster on my hands.
I was with my SO for dinner at a new resto. I sit down but my SO heads to the girls-room. And then walks over our waitress: A former WG I punted with about 6 months ago, named Liza. We hit it off back then and I saw her a few times. She told me at the time she was going to stop this work and get a "real" job. Seems she did just that!
My heart-rate bumped up a gear or two. She had still not actually looked up at me directly, how would she react? Would my SO come out just exactly at that moment when Liza reaches me, recognizes me, and maybe jumps into some kind of too-personal greeting? I was trapped!
She got to the table and looked at me and immediately smiled....... I smiled but shook my head very slowly back and forth as if to mentally project the words "not now!!, Red Alert!" to her.
3 years past (okay, maybe 3 seconds) and then she crossed the remaining couple feet and asked me what I wanted to drink. I said I would "wait for my girlfriend first". And I saw her smile and nod slightly. She got it now!
She left, my SO came out and sat, and shortly thereafter a different waitress served us as I saw Liza busy with another table.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Release breath.
I still had her # so txt'd her later on apologizing and thanking her for being so cool. She understood (and was glad I didn't expose her past either!)
Man. I indeed have buried land-mines all over Hong Kong! Only these land mines move around at will!! | |
