The night I met him..

The night I met him I was alone at the players party at WCG (World Cyber Games 2010). The World Cyber Games is a gaming competition that happens annually in a different country. This year it was in Los Angeles last weekend. At the end of WCG, they usually have a players party for all of the players who competed in the video gaming competitions to unwind and relax. So here I am at the players party. I was down stairs eating dinner when all of the players were upstairs getting drunk and playing games in the arcade. I was alone at the event and I didn't know anyone there so I was sitting at the bar by myself. As weird as it sounds, I really liked looking at the huge WCG logos on the screen. The bartender saw me alone and came over to speak with me. I asked him how much a drink would cost and told him I wanted the Long Island Ice Tea. He said, "Don't worry about it," and gave me the drink. I thought it was nice of him. I didn't have to pay for a ten dollar drink after all. I took a few sips here and there but that was it. I didn't want to get buzzed or drink since I was planning on driving home right after the party. Home is six hours up north from southern California. It was getting late so I went outside for some fresh air. As I was sitting down by myself, he came by and we started talking. The first thing he said to me was, "Who are you?" I thought that was funny as heck! We talked for a little bit and then his friends came by and I bailed on them. I was feeling very uncomfortable because his friend happened to be the world's best Warcraft player, Grubby. Cassandra, his beautiful wife was there as well. I was sweating bullets between beautiful people! (Laughs) I decided after taking some more videos of the party I would drive home. I brought up the idea to my friends in the Spanish team and to my friend who had offered me their hotel rooms. They didn't think driving home 6 hours was a good idea. Everyone was getting drunk and I had to make a quick decision. Leave now or later. Since my friends had offered me their hotel rooms, I thought I'll just stay over. I told one of the Spanish guys I would be right back as I had to move my car. I didn't come back. On my way to get my car, I met him and he offered me his place to stay. I was going to go back and tell my Spanish friend I was going to leave with this person but I hate goodbyes and I was half way to my car so I didn't turn around. I'm sure he was upset with me about that! When I got to his place, he was the perfect gentleman. He made me tea and even let me use his washer and dryer. As a thank you I later folded the laundry for him. He had a few clothing items in the laundry. He showed me a bunch of stuff he was doing with his life and then we went to sleep. He got me a sheet and pillow for the couch. I was extremely emotional so most of the night he played psychiatrist. I must say I feel better though. Maybe I just needed a strangers ear to release all of it! *Laughs to herself* Ever since my abusive relationship with my ex boyfriend ended, I gave up on men. Men are not as honest as you think. They all have their own agendas. I totally gave up and he changed a little bit of that. I must thank this stranger for making it a great night for me. One I won't forget for awhile. I only wished we could have continued to keep in contact. All good things come to an end I suppose. Next? He definitely had me super excited when I was at his place. The next morning he drove 20 minutes to get me food from Baja Fresh, in the rain. I haven't had that in forever! It was nice of him. I went with him but didn't get out of the car, I was really tired so I took a nap while he got the food. When we got back to his place, we had lunch and then I left. I have his flip flops and socks. Long story but I suppose he can do away with those. *Laughs* I have not had the opportunity to just sit and talk with someone for a very long time. It was very pleasant. I loved it! The night I met him was a memorable one for me. If I ever meet him in person again, I will have to thank him.
