sunglasses on her head, 5.12.24

i just got back home from going out and what a night it was. we went out to eat at lincoln in southie for the celtics game vs the cavaliers. i was with the usual suspects as schuni had set up the reservation. it was packed as soon as we got there. if we didn’t have a reservation, we would’ve been in line for 30-45 minutes. i had a burger and fries with a strawberry lime mocktail. two mocktails actually. the place was loud af, so it was tough to have conversation. schuni pointed to me, then to a girl behind me. i didn’t pay much mind because i was focused on the game, plus the burger was really good. at the end of the night, i went to the restroom before leaving. lynx points out the same girl i thought schuni pointed out. she was standing with her friends with her back turned, but she had sunglasses on her head. i couldn’t really hear what was going on, plus we were on the way out. a couple hours later when i finally leave the city, i call schuni. he told me that the girl was sitting back to back with me, but she turned around twice to look at me. then when she got up and came back he thought we caught eye contact because she was looking at me. i told him i was so focused on the game and my burger that i didn’t even notice her. schuni said she was with two of her friends and that she was beautiful. it’s crazy because i’m too in my own zone sometimes to notice these things. i’m so oblivious, especially when sports are on. i’ve never been one to pick up women at a bar or a club, because i’m never really in those enviroments. i like going out with friends though, especially when food and sports are involved, but from the past few times, i’m learning it comes with other things, too.

maybe next time i’m in southie, i’ll be more vigilant.

summer’s about to be here.
