I didn’t know if he was asleep, or shocked by me asking him out. After he got himself together, he said he wanted to plan something special and would call me back later. Of course, I couldn’t sleep until he called me back. When he did, he told me to dress cute and comfortable. I spent the next couple of hours in the bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to guess where he would be taking me. Since I insisted on driving my own car rather than letting him pick me up, he called me half an hour before the date and told me to meet him at Piedmont Park. Sounded cool. A date in the park. I dressed in pink Capri pants, a white cotton tee, and some Keds. It was a nice day outside, but I grabbed a blue jean jacket in case it got cool later. When I walked up to our meeting point, he was there waiting, leaning against a Hummer. His body was made for the jeans he was wearing. He had on one of his signature slogan T-shirts that said, “No Worries. God Reigns.” He gave me a shy smile and a hug. He smelled too good.
