smitten kitten

It has been a lovely last couple of days. :)
On Friday Beau and I went to a place called 3rd Corner in Sunset Cliffs (Ocean Beach). It's a wine shop and restaurant in one. We browsed some of the wines and he pointed out which ones his Dad sold to that restaurant. He even spoke with the manager upon check-in and knew his Dad so it was nice to get an easy foot in the door.
We picked out a Brunello from 2002 (don't really care but apparently it would have been a bigger deal if it was a 2001). The bartender uncorked it and then we got seated at our table. It would have been more romantic had we been at one of the corner booths but this was fine. Beau suggested we have a glass of champage, to "cleanse our pallets" for the appetizer course. I'm not one to turn down champagne, so we had a glass. Our appetizer was a dry cured meats plate with olives and bread. I also decided on the duck for the main course - I've never had duck and wanted to try. I let Beau do all the ordering. Normally I can order for myself but I had no idea what I was doing and was greatful for his leading. Then after we decided to order dessert and some more champagne, a pink bubbly this time. I got a chocolate bread pudding with berries and Beau got the best creme brulee I've ever tasted - made with genuine heavy cream, oh wow, it was yum-O. We were there for at least a couple hours and talking about work and everything. I have to say it was one of the best dates I've ever been on.
We came back and put in an episode of Nip/Tuck but I was so drunk with wine and charm and smitten-ness that I didn't pay attention to half of it. And of course we...how do I word our sex with each other? It's not "making love" - I certainly don't want to throw that word around at this point. It's not just "having sex," it's not "fucking," and I definitely won't recycle the "make whoopie" term. Gross. Well anyway, whatever it is, we did. I can't put into words how nice that date was. He of course, stayed the night. We decided to breakfast it up the next morning, starting with a morning shower. :DDD The water got shut off after about 15 minutes! So I had to hurry to put conditioner in my hair and we got dressed and walked next door to The Menu - one of my favorite breakfast places in San Diego (one of the only one's I've been to since I've lived here, but still, it's within walking distance, the service is good, and I love it). It was so great to have Beau all to myself for more than 12 hours at a time. Just lovely.
Yesterday Lisa was having her 30th birthday party. I made her a cock cake (hehehe) and stopped by work first to get her a nice bottle of wine for her birthday. Beau helped me pick out one for her and a white for me to drink and showed me the new syrah they tried the other day, which I also bought. It also happened to be his lunch hour (surprise, surprise) so he met me at my car and I drove us to Rubios. Afterwards I went to Lisa's and had sangria and cake and Ashleigh texted me at one point saying she was going and should she bring beer - I was thinking, "No! Don't come! Beau is going to be here and it's already a small gathering and I don't want it to be awkward!" But she showed up and we were all having a good time. At one point Ashleigh and I were talking and we were talking about him and her view on their breakup. I just listened and kinda put in my two cents for generic advice but tried not to give away too much information. Meanwhile I texted Beau saying the party wasn't that great, that (at the time) I was the only TJ person there and if he wanted to he could meet me back at my place and I'd leave soon. He agreed and I left the party. We had the syrah at home and he stayed the night again. I was sad that he had to leave so soon this morning to be at work one time by 10 a.m. Then soon enough it was my time to go to work. When I walked down to my car I saw that someone had written "I <3 U" in the dirty back window. At first I immediately thought Beau did it but it could have easily been Ashleigh or Lisa at her party, or even some random stranger who confused my car to belonging to someone else! So I asked Beau about it at work, and he said he did it last night when he came by. Waaaay too sweet, I fall for that kind of corny stuff constantly. Then when I got to my car tonight after work to drive home, I noticed there was an "I Miss U :)" in the rear left window. At this point I don't want to wash my car!
Beau, stop making me fall for you!! :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
