Dictionary.com defines Getaway as a getting away or fleeing; an escape, and, indeed, the Getaway man is the guy who cannot get out fast enough.. the morning after. What the hell is that all about??

I met the Getaway Man some time ago.. between the boyfriend and the fiance'.. who, by the way, was the same guy.. and another story. Suffice to say, the Getaway Man was filler.. if you get my drift (and yes, I used to be Snow White - I drifted!). At any rate.. he's cute, he's fun, he has all the right lines, but damn.. that man cannot get out fast enough in the morning.. WTH? (interrobang please!)! One night, he insisted on driving me home... promised a lazy, leisurely, sexy morning... and then a ride to retrieve my car.
5am.. no alarm.. for goodness sakes, it is Sunday.. and the man is up... yes.. figuratively and literally.. got to love a man like that on the day of worship (oh, baby!)... quick trip to the bathroom... (I thought).. and I hear him shifting chairs in the kitchen and putting on boots.. don't you love a man who wears cowboy boots?! (ooh ooh oooh!)...
All of this would be ok except for one thing.. MY CAR! WTH?? My car is NOT at home and he is supposed to take me to retrieve it.. so, of course, I get out of bed and say.. What the hell? His response is oh yea.. can you get dressed right now? I need to meet a guy about a job. Seriously??
To tell the truth, I am not at my best at this hour of the morning, and I was thinking about some fun.. but hey, I'm a grown up (albeit a foggy one).. so I get dressed.. and we get my car (holy mother of .. well, you know!).
Now one might ask,... why am I out with the Getaway Man.. and I have to admit that I ask myself that question too. I think, though, that in my old age, I have become shallow.. I want a man who is taller than me, a man who is witty, and a man who can make me feel like a woman and the Getaway Man does do that.. and he does it very well (oh my!)... so.. there I was, Thursday night, the Getaway Man is buying me beer while Eddie is buying me a shot of Glenlivet and telling me (by God!) I cannot be 1o years older than he is...
Do I dare say it? Life is good.. and although the guy who never lets the sun rise on his departure is far from the ONE, he is one of a kind and I like it ...

Atleast you had fun with this one. Both during the date...and after. :)
ReplyDeleteI did! I just can't help but wonder what that get-up-and-go thing is all about..
ReplyDeleteMaybe he's worried about commitment issues? Is she going to start demanding things??? Next time, ask him to leave the boots on.. ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like his personal problems to me. Just tell him if he's a dawn dodger, then he really needs to let you drive your own car home. =D
