Drinking with Awesome

I realize that it has been a while since I have chronicled any adventures with Mr. Awesome. You might think that he has disappeared from my life for good but let me assure you that he is alive and well and emailing me daily. Since taking an office job in the downtown core about five blocks from my office we have become very good friends. We email daily – even more than the lady and I do –, we go for lunch two or three times a week and we sometimes even talk on the phone on weekends. Not having sex has made us the best of friends.

All that being said it was still a bit of a surprise to me when he texted me on Friday to tell me to meet him at the beer garden for some serious drinking. I had the day off and thought, why not, I haven’t had a good drunk with Awesome in months and now is a good time as any to find out if I get drunk with Awesome and NOT fool around or have sex with him. I was still feeling blissful from my all night adventure with the SSM two nights earlier, and believed my will to be strong even in the face of many over priced watered down beer, so threw on a halter top and jeans and headed out the door.

By the time I got to the grounds there was a bit of a line up so I opted to get some pizza in me before tackling the line and the beer. The line ended up being about a half hour wait so I was glad I ate the pizza (really glad later in the evening). Once inside I grabbed two beer and found Awesome with a group of his friends all had been there about 1 ½ hours already. Awesome was fairly drunk and being hit on by his ex girlfriends boss. Actually I don’t think hitting describes what she was doing justice. He had a bite mark on his face from her, she was grinding him much of the evening and at some point I turned around and she was elbow deep in his pants. Sadly for her he really wasn’t that interested.

We partied in the gardens for about six of seven beers, watched the tribute bands, danced a little, he groped at me, his ex and his ex’s boss for fun, repeatedly told me how drunk he was and then we left for food and water. Home you say… nah! We went to Awesome’s Best Friend’s house for Martinis. After Five or Six drinks, some water and a few more partiers with us we headed to the dance bar.

There was a bit of a line at the dance bar so we were standing outside waiting for about ten minutes. At about minute five Awesome announced he was done for the night and walked off. His Bet buddy and I looked at each other shrugged and waited to get into the bar. Once there we hit the bar for a mixed drink, a vile shooter and some dancing. After about an hour on the dance floor we decided we needed a little sustenance so we grabbed a slice on the go and headed of to the pub to finish off the evening with one more shooter (which of course we all really needed) and a final pint of beer. At about 1:40 they were announcing last call and I realized I had already had mine and bid my farewell to ABF and found myself a cab. Actually it was one more slice of pizza to sop up the shooter and then a cab.

A great night of partying, beer, dancing, friends and no messy business with Awesome. This single girl feels as though she has turned some little corner of maturity with this night of binge drinking. Don’t you?
