The rest of the afternoon and early evening were uneventful except the powerful text from Sherrie that she wanted to see him again!  He had cancelled all his evening appointments (ie, date with the boob tube, facebook, twitter, you know â€“ that sort of stuff) and promptly gotten the gift he bought a few weeks ago wrapped and ready to go.  It was a drawing pencil set; aside from the obvious paper pad and erasers, the thing that caught his eye the most were the various types of pencils.  She would have a whole array of pencils; graphite & charcoal in many different colors.  He wasnâ€™t sure that if she ever drew him if the pencils would get his skin tone right; he wasnâ€™t white but he wasnâ€™t incredibly dark.  Just a smidge darker complexion from the slight Hispanic blood he had.  I suppose any black would do for his hair, and if she drew his eyes â€¦ brown would be the way to go.  The only other challenge she might have is to take his overweight 185 lb ass and try to make it look like 155.  Besides, there were so many other great things she would draw â€“ he was just flattering himself.<br/><br/>He didnâ€™t really wear colognes, just made sure he was neat and clean.  He decided to wear a white dress shirt and navy blue pants with his fine dress shoes; He wore a nice navy tie to go with the rest of his boring outfit.  He took a little bit more of his medicine then normal, just to drive away the voices.  Whatever it was that plagued him.<br/><br/>Teo was excited to know where exactly she was taking him for dinner tonight, if anywhere.  They had agreed to meet at Teoâ€™s apartment.  No longer his house; he didnâ€™t need to live with the ex anymore.  Wonder if Sherrie would say anything about the sports illustrated swim suit pin up girl in his bedroom, if it ever got to that?  Hey, what else are bachelorâ€™s supposed to be looking at; it came in the mail, it was free with his yearly subscription to SI â€¦ swim edition!  Oh, and his comic book collection.  He put that away; that did seem sort of kiddish.<br/><br/>It was 7:58; he looked out the window and saw Sherrie coming to the front door.  She was knock dead gorgeous; how lucky could this guy have gotten to be dating such a beautiful woman!  (Okay, he promised himself to take down that picture in his bedroom.)  There was a gentle knock at the door; with the gift in hand, he slowly opened up his ground level, 2 bedroom apartment complex.  Damn, the thoughts that go through your mind when you are trying to do something important!  He couldn't decide, did he want her wearing what she was wearing tonight or the cute coffee outfit from earlier?  He smiled to himself; I suppose that bad ass grin was the first thing she saw when Teo opened the door.
