Spicy Dishes

So, yesterday I go to lunch with a bunch of people who are in the same program I'm in at work, except they are all En.gi.neers. We decided to get together because one of the guys leaves for Me.xico today for the holidays.

So, Me and E.mily walk into the Me.xican restaurant we are suppose to meet at and realize we're the only people there. We grab a table for 8 and order drinks. No soon as we take our seats in walks S.ergio, N.ate, some chick and some other guy I've never met. Come to find out the other two work with S.ergio and N.ate at the Research and Development Center which is about 15 minutes from the Headquarters building I work in. So, we're doing the introductions and S.ergio tells me and E.mily that one more person is coming. It didn't even register with me. In walk this GORGEOUS In.dian dude! I haven't seen a man this fine in a long time, with the exception of Hershey.

So, throughout dinner we were laughing about the program, its ups and downs, our next job opportunities, etc. All the while, I notice that Red Fez is checking me out and directing all of his questions to me. I learn that he just started with the company 2 weeks ago and moved here from Chicago where he was getting his Master's Degree and that he moved to the country 2 years ago from South In.dia. I also learned that he'll be in Chicago for the holidays to attend a wedding. All while he's talking I'm looking at him thinking, "Damn, he'll make me date outside my race!"

As we're leaving the restaurant he makes the comment that he needs to be introduced to Boston because he doesn't really know anyone and all he has is his computer...LOL! I told you all he's an En.gi.neer! So, I took it as that was my queue to step up. See, out of everyone at the table I was the only one that actually lived in Boston Proper. Everyone else lives in the Northern Suburbs. Here, they treat Boston like it's its own separate world. They'll make comments like, "I went into Boston last night". They treat it like it's a field trip or something when it's only 30 minutes away.

Anyway...

I tell him that he should look me up after the holidays and I'd be more than happy to show him around.

I get in to work today, guess who I had an email from... You guessed it...Red Fez telling me how he'd love to see me the weekend after the New Year to do something "interesting together".

Now, I have In.dian friends. One of my good friends is In.dian. Well, she's actually from Bang.ladash, but you get the point. So, I think I'm in tune with the In.dian culture. I'm not a Know-it-all, but I respect them, where they've come from, their culture, food, etc. It's just weird, though. I've never been attracted to an In.dian man before. Maybe it's because he had a darker complexion, a beautiful smile and was funny as hell. I don't know. I will tell you that all I keep thinking about is that recent report that In.dian men need smaller condoms...LOL!

I'll keep you posted on any future developments.

Smooches :)
