i helped stans friend put together a playlist for her new restaurant a few weeks ago and to say thank you she invited stan and me for lunch. that was fine. i arrived a bit early and stan said he was going to catch up after a meeting. so the small talk began and it was fine and dandy. then she got up and said that she was going to say hello to someone.
she returned to our table with someone along her who said "hi chez!" she then said "she'll join us for lunch." i automatically got up from my chair and just "beso-ed" the girl before my brain could register who she was. after about a few seconds, it set in. she was stan's exgirlfriend.
headrush. awkward to say the least.i was dying for stan to come already but i didn't know if i'd feel better if he did or if i'd feel worse seeing them together. thank god i have good social reflexes and my smile didn't falter although my heart almost did.
but it was okay in the end. she was nice, i was nice so it was all good. i feel better having gotten to know her a little more because it eliminated alot of worries that plague me from time to time... sometimes when my self esteem starts to dwindle and i see her pictures looking all glossy and gorgeous on national magazines.
it went well though i'm really not about to jump into a bossom buddy friendship with her and swap phone numbers. we did crack a few jokes and had a couple of laughs and i genuinely smiled once or twice at her after the initial anxiety.
it was worth it though... i had the most awesome mango tart for dessert. =)
