The Afterparty.............

LOL.......Okay there was no after party but I am wondering how I made it home in one piece -cause you know the suburbs is a good 30 minutes away from Chicago- after a night of partying.

Anywho -

So Saturday was the day of the party, I went shopping picked up a cute one piece wide-legged halter jumpsuit, got my facial hairs removed - eyebrow, lip, chin (LMAO) and considered getting a pedicure. Then I thought to myself this ain't even my freaking party! LOL....took the jumpsuit back and decided to wear my cute little black lace dress I had just picked up from the cleaners last week. Plus I was totally bloated, feeling hella fat and kind of over the hype. I was ready for this party to come and go at this point. Seriously she had been hyping this up for a month....job well done.

Around 8:00 I started getting ready and although I am normally the first to show up because I hate being on stereotypical CP Time, I wasn't first to show but still damn early for a party that started at 9:00, I got there a little after 10pm. Those of you who know me are shocked I know, however I was determined to hang out and not psych myself out of this (my normal bedtime is about 10pm).

I get there in one piece despite the freaking construction I55 and simply relying on my own internal navigation to the south side spot on 43rd. Y'all I was so scared to get out the car it is not even funny I kept driving until I found a spot not too far from the place and in a well lite area because I was alone. I make sure my makeup is intact, I have my pepper spray in my clutch and no shiny items or money is left in view as I get out.

So........................I greet the birthday girl and go to the bar to grab a drink because no one is there yet I knew and chill there (by the door and near another exit because that's what I do). Here comes Bricks......like clock work he grabs a seat and comes up to me like he just spoke to me yesterday. I kept my cool as he began touching on my legs and whatnot talking mad game. He is also receiving the side eye from hell as I follow his hands about to touch me again..........nucca stop it! So he is rapping me up and my girls show up (Thank you!) we grab a seat in the party area and I order another drink along with their order. Here Bricks comes again.....nucca gone! Whispering in my ear "I got five chicks I only talk to but I want you cause you on another level, I miss your snobbish ways" *side eye* Let's play.

It was a good party, I played the game with Bricks and promised him the moon and the stars at his house that night. Danced alot, smoked a bit (in public.....y'all know I was mad tipsy to be doing that in public, lol) and got felt up by Bricks brother who grabbed a handful on my left butt cheek as I was walking off the dance floor. He was there celebrating his girlfriends party too *blink stare*

Can I be totally honest right now?  I got a bit jealous watching Bricks work the room with other females, it was kind of an ego thing because despite the side eye's I enjoyed Bricks company and attention to me. Is that weird? Maybe it's just me. Let me be honest again - Yesterday I just knew he would call me, but he didn't and that was an ego blow too. I am so not familiar with this whole dating thing and feel totally naive as I carry on a front. The funny thing is that I am not even really dating because I live in the suburbs and don't have many pickings (read: my type) in my immediate view. So I made a decision last night, since the weather is nice for the moment I am going to go outside of my usual very strict work week schedule and do something new at least once a week or two.....got to see how this goes.
