You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling by the Righteous Brothers

It was a Saturday evening and my bestie Nikki was over at my place.  We were drinking wine and listening to music and hanging out.  It was my favorite kind of night. I love having the kind of place where friends want to be.  I always have food in the house, a drink to pour, and music and laughter a plenty.  We had been at a birthday party earlier in the day and on the way home, the boy I liked so very, very much texted me to see what I was up to that evening. I invited him to stop by as long as he was ok with sharing me with a friend and the kiddos.  He was. 

We all piled into the kitchen, kids, Nikki, the boy and I.  It was right around Valentine’s Day and I had a few decorations up.  One of them is a spinner with romantic options like Kiss Your Partner Anywhere, Tickle Your Partner or Whisper Something Naughty in your Partner’s Ear.  He spun the wheel while looking at me and says out of the corner of his mouth: "This is somewhat inappropriate...."  Luckily he landed on Sing a Love Song.  He ponders what the Top Gun song was and then starts to sing:  "You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips...."  If you remember, it’s the scene in the bar with the jukebox and everyone joins in.  Just like in the movie, Nikki and I immediately join in, Nikki complete with a wooden spoon (for she was stirring something up on the stove) for a microphone.  We sang the entire song together and it was amazing.  So much smiling and laughing. 

The boy eventually had to leave for his next stop of the evening. Nikki and I spent a couple minutes after he left all kinds of happy and chattering because my bestie had finally met the boy I liked.  Girls will be girls and some things never change.  We finished up making dinner and enjoyed the rest of our evening.  I'm thinking about her today because my bestie is coming back soon (for she has moved away....) and I miss her!
