The last of the unicorns






Wow. It's been a while. Sorry. I have been having some fun in the sun while I can before school starts again. Ugh. I don't want to think about that. Anyway, I have come to the conclusion that I really don't have the timeline of stuff right. This next one I think was actually before Texas...maybe. I don't know. I really can't be sure. Oh, and speaking of Texas... Rather than make an addendum to the post itself I am just going to add this little tidbit that I forgot. How I forgot it I don't know, but I did. So I had mentioned that he had a knack for trouble, right? Well, I had a friend show up to the party and his costume was a policeman. He ran. Not even kidding you on this. He started running because he thought that he was a real cop. I really know how to pick them.

So this next guy has a little bit of a girly name if the title didn't give it away. I decided to call him Unicorn. I don't know if you know the term Unicorn or not when it comes to a dating reference. It's that one guy or girl that is your "it" and the one that stands out above the rest. Some people get their unicorn and some people don't. The majestic creature, magnificent in all its beauty and a force not to be reckoned with. Nothing can match a unicorn. I met my Unicorn when I was working my retail job and he was on the Loss Prevention team. Oh lordy, was he hot. He had dark hair, stocky build, big arms, and tattoos.  The reason I know that my timeline is fucked up is because when I first met him I was with Captain Douchebag. It was the final stages of that relationship or at least on the way to that when I got to know Unicorn. We flirted here and there and he was in a relationship at the time too. I didn't know until later that he actually had a crush on me too. Hence the flirting...I'm a little slow on the uptake so I would never have guessed...

I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how we went out the first time and I can't figure it out. I know it was towards the end of my retail days. I think. Oh wow. In the midst of writing this I remembered. I started going to ISU and we had a speech class together. We started talking and sitting by each other and eventually exchanged numbers. After what seemed like forever he asked me out on a date. I was ecstatic. I had been waiting for this for so long and I couldn't believe it was happening. Sadly, it was going to be a double date. I really didn't want to share my date with another couple, especially another couple that I didn't know. Whatever I guess. As long as I got my date with my Unicorn. 

We decided to go to play laser tag first. Things were going alright and we were having fun when he mentioned that he wasn't feeling all that great. He brushed it off and just thought it was from being out in the sun all day working on his truck. After the game of laser tag, that I was utterly defeated in, we made up our minds to go get some dinner. As we were walking out of the laser tag place, Unicorn started getting really sweaty. No, not just because he was so hot but I could see how it could happen. He stopped out front before getting in the truck for a few so he could get some fresh air. Right before we decided to get in the truck he turns around and pukes. Oh god it was disgusting. I also felt really bad at the same time because he was really embarrassed about it. After letting him recompose himself he said that he felt much better and we should be good to go. So, we went. 

We got to the restaurant and sat down at the table and got some water while we looked at the menu. After no longer than five minutes he gets up and takes off outside. I got stuck sitting at the table with his friend's girlfriend and had to make awkward conversation while we waited to find what was going on. Next thing we knew her boyfriend comes in and says that we gotta go and take Unicorn to the ER. Can you take me home first? Ok, I didn't say that but I wanted to. I didn't want to go sit at the ER with two random people I don't know while Unicorn goes and gets poked and proded. Man, that makes me sound heartless. I really did feel bad. He was in a lot of pain and just didn't feel well. So off to the ER we went. It didn't take long to get him sent back to get checked out but we had to wait in the waiting room. I got to sit there awkwardly, wishing I was home for almost three hours before his friend got the idea to take me home. What a date. 

I found out the next day that he ended up having to get his gal-bladder taken out. That's a memorable first date right there. "Sorry for puking multiple times, but I had a great night." Fml. I thought that he would get a hold of me when he was feeling better and we could try it again. I didn't hear from him for a year. After that kind of date he then doesn't talk to me for a year! I wanted to punch him in the face, but because he was my Unicorn I decided that when I did finally hear from him again I would forgive him since he was really embarrassed. We decided to try it again and this time it was definitely a better date than the first. We actually made it to three dates. Then it went south. Of course. We were having dinner and I was trying to tell people that I was on a date and he got upset at me for being on my phone. I was texting in case that wasn't obvious. Yes, I know I was being rude in the first place but I was trying not to be rude to the people I was talking to as well. Blah. Whatever. I can't please everyone. Plus, i was totally telling my friend that bats for the same team I do that I got my dream date with Unicorn. I think he was his Unicorn too. That was pretty much the end of that go around.

Things don't end there though. About one year on the dot later...we start talking again because we have yet another class together. Seriously, it was always about a year to the day that we would somehow start talking again and decided to go on a date. We decide to give it one last go around because apparently we just don't like how it ended the two other times between us. That, or I was his Unicorn too :) Anyway, this time we got to about five dates and things just weren't working. I was in a different place than he was and wanted different things than he did and we couldn't agree on what to do with each other. In the end we just kind of let each other go. I still to this day am pretty sad about it just because of how much I liked him. I'm not saying I would change what I have now....but it's my Unicorn. That fabled creature that I had a brief moment with. I didn't even get to have sex with him. Maybe that's why I'm pissed. I think he would be an animal in the sack. I'm sure he could use his horn very well..
