In Love With A Mystery Part 4

"I am my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine" - Song of Solomon 6:3

Weeks later, I found myself on a Saturday Afternoon hanging out with my girly friend at an outdoor Church concert. We were sitting on a blanket chit chatting among the Youth and College/Career Adults when this guy slipped up beside my friend. It just so happened to be that tall green military pajama suit guy who was becoming a mystery.

This time however he was dressed in jeans, a nice polo shirt and casual dress shoes. And, except for that one Sunday Night at Church where he wore his work clothes, the dress pants and polo shirt (or jeans and a polo shirt) was how I saw him attired from then on after.

Not knowing if my friend knew him well or not, but assuming that she did, there was some small chit- chat, of which was apparently of no consequence because I don’t seem to remember anything.

Time passed as we watched the different concert groups and then it became time that I needed to scoot. I remember that the thought of leaving stirred such strong emotions. I wanted to stay and enjoy the festivities. But, I worked at a Law Firm during my Jr year in College and it was during that time I had gotten roped into a blind date group thing for that night. Everyone knew I was not interested, and definitely didn't date, but they all convinced me it would be a time of just a large office group gathering.

I had asked my girly friend to come along since it was going to be a big group of People of about 20. She said "yes" but due to the enjoyable concert it ended up that we both didn’t want to go. We left because I had no way to tell them I wouldn’t be able to show up.

Well, we met up with the blind date group, and let me just say it was a disaster. I was not interested in my blind date. He was not interested in me. I don’t even think we said two words to each other. And, one look at him (he was red eyed) along with his drink told me that this blind date guy and this group was not what we wanted to be involved with. So we left them. We looked at the time and knew we wouldn't be able to get back to the outdoor concert before it ended. So, since we drove down town, we cruised in few stores and then we left.

Meanwhile, all the way home, my curious mind went back to the green military pajama suit guy who actually wears jeans and polo shirts. You know the mystery man?! And, so I asked my friend what she knew about him.

Imagine my surprise when she said that she couldn’t tell me much. I remember that she said, “That was the most I have ever talked to him.”

I didn’t want to share with her that I was curious except in a passing way so I let the conversation steer to her engagement. All the while I was wondering if this mystery guy was interested in her, and also curious to know if he even knew that her fiancé was in another state.

(Beloved's comment when reading this part was, "Can't a guy just be nice to two girls?!" My answer to him was, "No." And, especially if they are a Rock Solid Christian!)
