dinner with a stranger friend

I went 2 impromtu dinner tonight
After my class @ 11pm
@ the hungry cat
Downstairs from da loft
A fellow psychologist student
Called me as another fellow dropped me @ home

I answered with enthusiam
We talked....I walked up 2 da loft
Had some work 2 do b4 home, bed
10 minutes later she asks
Have u gotten a bite or still haven't had dinner?
Implying I ate @ the overpriced ghetto expensive shitty ass greasy
cafateria in the office building
How rude I thought

No I was just thinking about that
I replied slightly begrudgently
Do u wana grab a bite @ the cat
She responds
An excellent, nice resteraunt
One of my top five in hollywierd
La 4 that matter
She's totally won back my love

We make plans and meet 15 min later
Over a nice dinner and a cocktail
And an amazingly free, honest conversation
We bonded, thru her eyes I could see her soul
An amazing, brilliant, matuere, experiends soul
That she has

I'm going to santa barbra with her
Next weekend to look @ another school
And see a best friend of a prof.
To tour the town
3 days, 2 nights

She told me the school had rooms @ a motel
I told her I'd book the reservations and find
A more sophisicated place
After driving from texas 2 la
6 years ago...I vowed no more motels

They brought the check
I paid
Something I do that I really shouldn't
Can't afford like I used 2 b able 2
But everytime I'm reminded of
Skip Fioretti
Ashleys dad
The man who helped me save my teenage life
And took me in
"If ur gona pay some, pay all otherwise its my treat"
He used to always say

And I always thought so nice
Having a distant stranger friend
Buy you a meal
After good food, conversation, and a cocktail
Such good, honest, genrorous gesture
I thought

I still pay for meals
But have told myelf
4 the trip we split costs
Down the middle
We shall see
Here I go again
Ladies and gentlemen
Wish me luck
