My hairy McDreamy

Hmm…. How’s that for a title? Anyway, I did something that I had never imagined of doing before. Okaylah..i have imagined it before but didn’t realize that it will become a reality so soon. Okay, I’ll get to it. I went out for a double date with Zoey and Christopher last Friday. It was for a movie. How did I get myself into that predicament? Hmm..it started with a friendly sms about work a couple of months back. It was to Zoey. She replied my sms and started being polite by asking where I was and what was I doing. I told her then I had watched a movie with H and Hannah. She shared with me some of the movies she had watched with Christopher. Somehow before I realized what was going on, she had invited me to her house, right there and then. Hmm…I turned down the offer and just to be polite I told her that one of these days we’ll go for a movie or something together. That was the start of my many double dates with them. It was okay. We had fun, I think. Hannah did. We went to watch ‘Enchanted’ on Friday. I know Christopher won’t have a problem with the movie because Hannah and He clicked like old friends the minute they saw each other. The movie started in a cartoon version and then after about 15minutes , we were seeing real people and princesses. No more cartoon. I caught a glimpse of Zoey and she turned and smiled at me. I had this uneasy feeling that she didn’t really like the movie. Oh well..it’s a learning experience, we’ll improve on our choice of movies soon. It’s a compromise. It’s just that after seeing the gazette, Hannah had wanted to watch it. Okay..okay I wanted to watch it too because of McDreamy! He was different in Enchanted and I discovered that he has chest hair! Haha! I remembered Alex and her obsession with chest hair! Anyway, there is this scene where the princess is pissed off with McDreamy for always being negative and for always saying ‘No’. Hmm… so familiar! It so happens that McDreamy has just gotten out of the shower , don in a bathrobe only. As they were having that conversation about how negative he really is, the princess got angry, an emotion which is so foreign to her being a fairytale princess and all, who is forever happy, cheerful and always filled with positive attitude.She ended up laughing after feeling the anger. She was overwhelmed by it. When she realized that that was the first time she was feeling that emotion, she laughed. Talk about positive attitude indeed. Some people would just say plain crazy but I am not that kind of person. I live by my sesame street wisdom.Ha! And that was then that she touched McDreamy’s hairy chest. I think I didn’t realized that I had said these words out loud “ oh my God! He has hairy chest..hairy chest”. I froze until Hannah shook me and asked “ is it over yet mummy?”. She said it with one of hands covering her eyes. That brought me back to reality. I have never seen McDreamy’s chest hair before. There were a lot of steamy scenes in Grey Anatomy but somehow why didn’t I notice the chest hair? It’s puzzling to me because something so there and I didn’t notice it. Why? And why now has it become evident? Hmm… questions and more questions about chest hair. Interesting topic on a Wednesday afternoon! Anyway, enough about chest hair. The story about the double dates didn’t just end there. After the movie, Zoey asked if we want to follow them to Genting on Sunday. H said that he had promised his sister to go over her house. I didn’t say anything. Saturday come and H said that he had cancelled the trip to his sister’s place and asked me to call Christopher and Zoey and tell them that we will be going with them to Genting. I blinked at him a couple of times before responding. I told H, that we want to think about this first. This is such a big step we are taking; we don’t want to be irrational in making this major decision. Nah….all that came out of my mouth after the blinking was “ are you serious?” He was serious. I didn’t want to be a killer of everybody’s fun. Hannah and H were all psyched up to go to Genting. So we went with them. Frankly it was fun. We took Hannah for all her rides and they went to have theirs. We met during lunch and tea break. We had dinner at the much talked about Damansara uptown as the grand finale of the second double date in three days. We had good food though. We reached home at 11pm. Twelve hours of spending time with them has made me look at them differently. They are good people. Christopher has the potential to be a dotting father just like H. Zoey is a fast learner about how to treat a child. She has the patience to be a great mom. I am not surprised when Hannah wanted to follow them to the carousel without us. H and I waited for her to turn back when she realized that we weren’t going with them. Normally she would, she would ask if we were going also. If I said that we weren’t then she wouldn’t want to follow. She didn’t ask this time. We waited for the longest time and she didn’t turn back. Suddenly we were the ones that felt lost without her. H kept on pestering me to call every 5 minutes, to ask if Hannah is ok. I called and Zoey said that she’s fine. Fifteen minutes later we returned to find Christopher accompanying Hannah on a carousel for the second time while Zoey was taking pictures of them. It was a happy sight. I am glad that I did this. I am glad to have gone on these double dates. It was an eventful weekend for us. A new milestone reached. A great many more to come. This is a start of a beautiful friendship. Chao! Have a great long weekend, Happy Eid-Adha and Merry Christmas everybody!
