We locked eyes as he drove past me in the quiet street outside work. Time slowed down like the movies, there was something so charismatic about this man (yes I said man, I’m queer not the L word) and he felt the same. He was driving a cab, and that smile. I took his number then walked into work, I was almost late.
I worked in the radio room of the same cab company, this gorgeous man I would definitely look out for.
We Connected in The Nicest Possible Way
He said hi on the radio, he knew who I was, had asked around, I blushed. After work he was waiting outside, that gorgeous face and that smile. I popped into his car (things were safer then) and we went to a local bar and talked and talked and talked.
Not just a gorgeous face but a scintillating personality as well. I must admit I was a little smitten when he dropped me off back at my car later that evening after hours of sharing. I floated home, you know what I mean.
The Next Day
He messaged me next day and he wanted to meet up. he met me outside of work and looked serious as I slid into the front seat with him. We locked eyes for a moment, and said what’s up?
He said before we go any further there was something he needed to tell me. My stomach dropped as I said ok.
He told me that he was married (no surprise at this point). He said that he was open to having an affair with me, or if that’s not something I was comfortable we could simply be friends, we had a great basis for friendship. We had only met the day before, so I wasn’t peeved by him not disclosing then.
So I thought for a moment about what I wanted this to be.
How I Answered
I am not into cheating. Whether its with someone in a relationship, and definitely not if I have a partner. So I told him let’s be friends. And we were for a very long time. We never crossed boundaries, ever.
We would meet up for drinks, for a meal, and he would help me out when I needed. But we always respected his marriage and that felt good and he was one of my best friends at that time.
This post has no meaning, just a whimsical sharing of a sweet connection from long ago. He popped into my mind and it made me smile, so I thought to share.
He was beautiful.
Peace Out
