good ol' amanda

amanda came through for me this weekend at work. after i told her the fiasco of friday, she was schrieking at me, appalled that i hadn't given mr. hottie my number. when i told her that he was working saturday, she turned to karol and said, 'i'm gonna need a scratch piece of paper and her number as soon as possible.' karol dropped everything and got it immediately, writing down both my home and cell numbers. amanda then carried it around in her apron pocket for the rest of the day, hoping for a chance to give it to him. she was getting so frustrated by the end of the day, she was flying through her work so she'd have time to hunt him down before she left. finally she found him in the breakroom when she went to punch out. she told him i meant to give him my number the day before but i was too embarrassed. he asked if she was serious, and she said yes and that he better call me.

so he did! first he left a message on my voicemail (i almost died when it dawned on me that my voicemail is elvis singing 'are you lonesome tonight'), basically just saying that he'd try my home phone. so he did and we talked for about 10 minutes. he was working a double and was on his break, so that was all we got. we didn't talk about much - just enough for me to learn that he's a football nut (i so beyond hate football).

he worked sunday, too, which was nice. flirting always makes a day pass more quickly. and he calls me 'dimples.' unfortunately, however, i'm thinking he's not a Christian. he said he likes working his 40 hours over the weekend so he has the rest of the week free. i, on the other hand, want desperately to have weekends off so i can go to church. and if he works doubles those days, it's not like he's going to a saturday night service or something. so this is all very disappointing. i guess i don't know for sure yet, but still. it's strange to think of a non-Christian guy calling me. what am i supposed to do?

and of course it makes me all the more suspicious of him. what does a gorgeous non-Christian black guy want with a dorky little white Christian girl? especially when he started out with those looks comments. now i'm panicking again and just want him to go away. or at least to give me my number back.
