My Nine

I met someone, last Saturday at the library (berry). Being a newly single person, and looking to change my single status, this is exciting. It’s not everyday I meet someone fairly interesting.

We spent 4 ½ hours together, getting to know each other. We both live in the Bronx, actually his building is across the street from the berry. We talked about the latest books and movies, we read and saw. He recently read Batman and Wolverine (graphic novels) and is into horror movies. I informed him that I was not a horror movie fan; however I did recommend a few movies he should check out. I also told him I recently saw Hancock, we both liked it. We played a card game during our time together; I think he let me win. I also introduced him to my new favorite computer game, “Type or Die.” He did not do as well as I did.

We talked about our backgrounds, and all the other initial meeting stuff. He is originally from Georgia, and recently relocated to the Bronx, four years ago. He prefers Georgia to the Bronx. His dad is from the Dominican Republic and his mom is from Panama.

He introduced me to his older sister; she is 3 years older than him. She didn’t seem to o friendly, sisters usually don’t like girls interested in their brothers.
No one is “good enough” for their brothers. She doesn’t know how fabulous I am, yet!

He said he was going to call me “Miss Librarian.” I like that

I told him I would be going on vacation, for one week. He asked when was my first day back and he said he would come back to see me upon my return.

Sure enough on Monday afternoon, he came in to see me. A man who keeps his word.

He asked about my vacation, (asked questions, he’s interested) and I told him I had a good time in Orlando. I told him I did not visit Disneyland, he asked why?

He also told me some of the movies I recommended had come in, and he checked them out. “Freddy Kruger was not that scary,” he said. He had never seen any of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.

He bought Gatorade and asked if I would like some, a sharer, sweet, he brought a gift already.

The pro column on the pro and con list is quickly filling up.

He came in on Tuesday, I was leaving early to attend a meeting at another branch, and I told him I would see him later on during the week.

The one and only con, he’s nine years old.
