Saturday didn’t go according to my planned schedule. Actually my whole weekend plan was turned upside down by a miscommunication with one of my kids. So I actually had a kid free weekend. Saturday afternoon I was eating a mid-day breakfast at Cafe Brazil with Nigel. I received a text from LJ36 for a concert invite. The concert was Steven Marley, the son of the great reggae legend Bob Marley.
After Monday evening with LJ36, I didn’t want to seem like a asshole, so I agreed to go. This concert event was at the House of Blues. I’ve never been there before, so this was going to be a great experience. LJ36 and I arrived early enough to have drinks at the bar. We ended up meeting some people from Lafayette next to us. We had 2 hours before the door opened to relax and drink. So by the time the concert hall opened we were feeling good. I must say that House of Blues is a great place to see a concert. The lower level is general admission, so we could get practically on stage.
When Steven came on stage it was after 2 hours of a reggae DJ. I was totally amazed how many white people were at this event. I believe it was 70% white. But who cares it’s reggae, lets just share the love and dance. I was even more shocked when I turned around to see some young white teens smoking herb behind me. I swear they looked like they were from Highland Park and 16 years old. It was a crazy atmosphere. So back to the music, Steve Marley sang all of his dad’s popular songs. He also played his own songs. It was great! While I was dancing next to LJ36, a Hispanic woman was working her way through the crowd and bumped into me. Mel26 smiled at me, grabbed my face and planted a great kiss on me. Actually it was more than just one kiss, it lasted almost 3 minutes. Wow, what a great kiss! I’ve never had this happen before. Or at least that I can remember. She commented on how great of a kisser I am and then introduced herself. I told her the next time she came by I would expect to get the same type of treatment and she laughed. To my amazement LJ36 wasn’t paying attention and never noticed this at all. She was dancing and in her own world. Shortly after that, the group of tall blonds that were standing in front of me began to look at me. The began to whisper to each other and smile. They thought I looked a lot like a TV star from a popular 90’s show. So after they bought me a drink they began to dance with me. I don’t think I even know their names, but one took that opportunity to grind her ass on me for the next 45 minutes. All of this was before my solo on ‘No Woman, No Cry’. OK, I really didn’t have a solo it just seemed that way. So after 2 hours of Steve Marley playing constantly the concert was over at 1230am. LJ36 and I ended up in the hallway waiting for the crowd to thin out. I noticed someone standing next to me, it was Mel26. She had this embarrassed look on her face when she realized I was there with someone. The three of us began to talk about dating. LJ36 told her we go out, but we aren’t dating. Mel26 seemed shocked to find that out. LJ36 suggested that we all exchange phone numbers and hang out. Yes, I didn’t ask for it. LJ36 did. LJ36 decided she wanted to dance more to the house band upstairs and left me for a while. Mel26 took this opportunity to grab me once again and make out with me. I am still confused since she mentioned to me that she doesn’t date people with children. OK, I wasn’t that confused. But somehow she looked at my lips like they were LL Cool J’s or I had a chocolate strawberry between them. We all ended up going our separate ways after the kiss. I had a great time with LJ36 with a surprising twist. I ended up going home alone. I was exhausted and wasn’t in the mood for anything. As much as I enjoy being around LJ36 maybe this is a sign that we should just be friends. We both agree that we don’t know each other enough to take it to the next level. It seems that there is just a certain level of comfort that has allowed us to be as intimate as we’ve been thus far.

We all go through the same things- it’s largely a matter of chemistry (and timing).
