[Insert loss of breath here] Okay, so I get home at about midnight last night after I took Jon home from Perkins. Needless to say, I was very tired. After notes during 4th hour, I decided to take a nap in the Green Room. I had probably been asleep for about an hour when I feel a kiss on my neck and then two hands on my back. As I woke, I saw Sharon’s beautiful face. Wow. This was cool. She sat with me for a while as I was laying on the couch. But maybe I should get to the show before I go any farther with this…

So the show wasn’t fantastic. We made a lot of mistakes that shouldn’t have been made. Mics weren’t working, lights skipped cues, stuff like that. But it was okay, I guess.

After the show, me = pissed. Not only am I disgusted with my performance this night, but I’ve been hearing for days that the only reason Sharon is paying attention to me is to use me to get back at Matt Callahan, her boy of two years, recently ex. I heard it again as I was getting ready to leave, and I decided that I was going to confront her on it.

We get in the car to go to Red Robin. She asks and I start telling her why I’m upset; I tell her that she was part of it and she asked me why. So I bluntly told her: “You, as well as everybody else, knows that I like you. Now I’ve been told that you’re just playing with me, and if this is true then I would really like it if you would tell me.”
Sharon (summary): “Well, I actually really do like you. I’m not using you to make Matt jealous or for anything else. And the only reason that I’ve been going for you is that…”

Then we discussed Matt a little bit more in depth and the fact that we’ve both been hurt so much in the past. Then we got to Red Robin.

[I’m gonna cut past the Red Robin time because it was rather uneventful.]

While I was driving Sharon home, I told her that I believed her. When I pulled up in front of her house, out of nowhere, she plants me. This wasn’t like the peck of last night. This was full-fledged. Needless to say (I’m saying that a lot), I was spellbound and didn’t quite know how to react. After we kissed, she just said Bye and left.

Sure as this night leads to a sky of blue, sure as the gods meant me to be with you, Deep in your eyes I see the god’s design, where my life is forever yours … and you are mine …
