Uh oh. Got my coffee date too. He was talking to me in the gym. I was on the crosstrainer and I can’t remember what he said but I answered him…

“I’m surprised.”

“You are? That’s the second time you said that to me. I guess you can’t figure me out,” he said smugly.

“Yes I can. I can figure you out. I have figured you out,” I said, smiling haughtily.

“But you just said you were surprised.”

“Well I was. I just figured you out right now. Right now this minute. Less than a minute ago, actually. That’s when I figured you out… er, just a few seconds ago, when you said that.”

He chuckled. “You’re quick. That was a quick one.”

I shook my head as if I had no idea what he was talking about. “I don’t know what you mean, quick.” I was grinning like the Cheshire Cat that I am. “Say!” I said, knowing he was leaving town for the weekend. “I sure hope your trip goes well! Fun time for you!” I said, beaming.

He just stared.

“Me? Well I’ll just be right here working out,” I said, panting slightly. “And knowing whatever I know if there is anything I know But hey! Have a great trip. Wonderful.”

He shook his head, amused. “I’ll see you later…”

I nodded and watched him leave the gym knowing he knew I was watching him leave the gym. I was smiling so wide it should be illegal.

Are you a Cheshire Cat, or do you know someone who is? Where is your Mercury?
