And now I know the truth: that anything could happen

Baby, I'll give you everything you need
I'll give you everything you need, oh
I'll give you everything you need
But I don't think I need you...

Behind the scenes, Terry and I have been working on the logistics of my trip while tip-toeing around the fact that he's going to be spending two nights at my hotel.

Me: you gonna spend the night on Saturday? 

Terry: sure

Me: how early would you have to work the next morning on Sunday?

Terry: Sunday i usually go in around 7

Me: okay. how nice, you'll get an early start staying at a moderately priced hotel lol lol

Terry: lol 

....

Me: you're welcome to stay another night into Monday. i'm trying not to be a chicken but yeah, i don't want to sleep alone 

Terry: lol I'm sure that will work

Me: sweet 

I know he and I are past flirting, but it's still kinda nice to maintain an air of mystery...can't say the same about Jay...

Jay: so when we sleep together when u get here ...I either want to spoon bottomless...so I can stick my dick in there easy when I get horny in the middle of the night...so if u wake up to me fucking u doggie on ur side ...don't worry

(!!!!!) Yikes.

Did he just describe a modified date rape fantasy? A little alarming what passes through the mind of your average American male. I wouldn't say he's a sex addict, just a little honest (and forthcoming) about his intentions. I'm not even scared. I've got a few filthy things on my list I'd like to cross off.

So while I'm planning the trip affectionately known as "Fuck-toberfest," something adorable happened.

At the Deftones tour opener in Ventura, I met a cute boy named Jose. I ignored him the entire time since I was talking to my friends. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed he was checking me out. A few days and a Facebook friend request later, we got to talking. It didn't take long...

Me: Did we meet in line? 

Jose: We shared a word or two I think. I know I saw you for sure I was right in front of you in line. Awesome show right?

Me: Frickin' amazing! Great way to bust open the tour. Were you wearing a black button up shirt? I'm sorry, just trying to place your face in line...

Jose: Yeah black button shirt. Trying to look fancy for Deftones!!! Lol. They rocked so hard. I was dying of sweat though. Pool of sweat!

Me: Aha! I knew it. So you were the cute one [...]

Me: Haha yeah and you were the cutey with the bad ass Ray Bans. 

....

Me: So I guess I'll see you in another 7 weeks for the Palladium show...unless you ever feel like hanging out before then  hit me up

Jose: [...] Yeah we should hang! Definitely... Maybe this weekend?

Me: This weekend is good actually. I'm not busy tomorrow night or Saturday night, so let me know what works best for you. Deftones fans are hard to find, so we all should hang out and be awesome together 

Jose: Haha yeah we are a rare breed. We should catch a flick and dinner or something. Or get a brew at this spot in downtown Burbank [...]

Me: No need to sell me on that, sounds good to me..I'm always up for drinks/brews. Tomorrow night? Or Saturday? [...]

Jose: Let's do Saturday night. Keep in touch! Deftones!!!! lol

Suddenly, I had plans...and the kid wasn't a dud. He was great at planning and had a cute sense of humor about what we should wear on our date...

The date went well last night, better than expected. I felt like I wasn't nervous at all, until we got to Fantasia and the bouncer asked why my fingers were shaking as I held up my ID. I guess I wasn't trembling from the cold...haha....

The basics: Jose is 27, a vegetarian and he lives in Burbank. He's a driver for Pep Boys (an auto parts store), so he's very knowledgeable on car repair and claims he can change my oil haha. He's of Mexican descent and is a practicing Christian. 

We made good conversation, just your standard "getting to know you" chit-chat peppered with jokes, hilarious digressions and crazy stories. We traded stories from the pit at Deftones shows and our own experiences meeting the band-members. We both have Deftones related tattoos, so that was kinda cool. He paid for all my drinks and cover charges. We watched the Silva/Bonnar UFC fight and the tail end of the Yankees/Tigers game before heading out for dessert. He convinced me to finally drink Thai iced tea with those gross tapioca balls. I drank the milky tea and he was happy to eat all the tapioca. The conversation was even better and we ended up calling it quits at midnight, only because the boba guys had to close up shop. Like a gentleman, he walked me back to my car and we shared a few soft, sweet kisses on the mouth. It was a tad awkward as he had a toothpick in his mouth (he's trying to quit smoking and this apparently helps him ease the craving), but he recovered nicely by tossing it and kissing me sweetly on the corner of my lips. I swooned all the way home. Then early this morning I see he's posted a status update about our little date:

Tonight... Tonight was good :)

I couldn't help but "like" that status. 

Okay, okay...so here's what he looks like...I couldn't find a recent picture where he was alone so I had to settle on a funny group picture...Jose is the one on the far right:

Funny boy.

Second date? Uhm....sure. He seems very, very sweet. I'll let him take the reigns, though. My hands are a little full with 13 days left till "Fuck-toberfest" so I'm not going to get all bent out of shape if I never hear from him again. Something tells me I'll see him sooner than later as we've spent most of today texting back and forth. I have the worst timing with vacations and boys, eh?
