Warren and Maureen sm The Second Date.
Warren had given that first date a lot of thought. He reviewed the entiredate and conversation in his mind. It went beautifully. They agreed on almost everything. He thought the talk of the universe bringing what we want to each of us, that the Secret itself might have created a problem. Instead she had CDs of David Dwyer, a man with similar thoughts. She was humorous, even funny. When I asked for reassurance about the wine order she said you're not afraid I will dance on the table are you, tongue in cheek and smiling.
So he called for the second date to see if she might like to go for a Sunday brunch, to a part of the town where there was a great Greek restaurant. Should I pick you up or would you like to meet there was Warren's question once she agreed to the date. She felt comfortable enough to have Warren stop by to pick her up.
Warren drove a black late model Saab to Maureen's suburban home. He met her daughter Mary Anne, and her son Zachary. Young adults both in college and very interested in mom's new friend. An ideal family it seems , with a college professor mom making sure the children pay attention to school and grades. Her third son Daegan was not at home at the moment.
Warren had a Frank Sinatra CD playing as they drove along the suburban streets and they were laughing in minutes at the conversation, as Frank sang Be careful, It's my Heart in the background. The laughter was infectious and as they crossed into the city streets and just passing a familiar Dairy Queen Maureen said Warren I know your wild, you can show me how wild you are please don't hold back.
This was a trick. It had to be Warren thought in that instant. Did he really show he was wild in the short time they have met? She's bluffing and thinking that. She is a professor though and she sees a lot of wild students. It's true, I have a confession to make. I have a wild imagination if that is what you are referring to? A shriek of laughter came from Maureen. Oh no, you're not getting off that easy. Ok. I am so wild that I purposely dress in this conservative manor with the hope no one will notice the wild man in me. I walk upright and straight to look conservative too. Maureen smiled and said ok, I am just going to have to find out myself it seems.
At the Greek Restaurant the salad was again outstanding and since Maureen had never been to this place before a big hit. There was a lot of laughter during the meal once again, stories Warren never seems to run out of and a look so beautiful on Maureen's face, a look that said I love this but don't trust it, I want it but am I ready? Then the question from Maureen. Would a person ask for a third date if there was not a genuine interest in the person they were asking out. They would not be doing it, dating just for fun would they? Warren knew already this answer would not be as easy as the your wild answer. Maureen was serious now. Well, Warren said I wouldn't, but then I can only speak for myself. In fact if you don't mind, I would like to ask you out on our third date right now. After we finish this date for this salad, can we go down by the river walk and take a walk. It is early may in Western New York and 65 degrees and the sun is shinning. We really need to take advantage of that in this town Warren said. That we can consider our third date and then you will know my answer. Maureen, Warren said. From everything I know of you so far I am hoping for many more than three dates. I guess what you are really asking is about love. When does it show itself, when do you know, how does it grow. You have been single as I have for a long time. For me Warren said, and this may seem stupid to some people, love is like a drop in a bucket. Most people have no problem saying hate. They hate the weather, they hate this meal they hate a lot of things. I have no problem saying love, when I feel it. Even at an early stage. For me we have this bucket, the kind we wash floors or cars with. If you fill it to the top you have a whole lot of love. But it does not get filled on one minute or one session for the most part. It is filled on drop of love at a time. It starts with one small drop and grows from there. Let's go for that walk along the river. Waiter, can I have our check please.
