A tale of heartache to feed your estro. :)

ad

Had something happen Sunday that absolutely blew me away and I'll be damned If I can't get this shit out of my head.
So check it out..
Rewind 16 years ago..Late March of 1999, I had just accomplished something huge..probably the greatest accomplishment of my college athletic career at the time. I worked my ass off with a goal in mind, the stars aligned and I pulled off something pretty great for me. I won't get in to details because it really doesn't have much to do with the story. At any rate to celebrate..my friends and I decided to spend the weekend in Vegas. I was single at the time so I actually could enjoy Vegas. Smile
One of the nights that we were there we decided to go to a club called Studio 54. It was actually a pretty hot club at the time, the lines were long they are only letting
In beautiful shallow people like good clubs should and as fate would have it, a with a little stroke of incredible luck..I was able to obtain VIP passes for me and my friends.
We all slapped the VIP bracelets on, bypassed the lines and went in.
The place was hot! Chicks dancing in cages rich bastards with escorts sucking their cocks under the tables..lol (true fricken story). At any rate, I'm not a big clubber, I always feel a little awkward in places like that so I went upstairs to the VIP lounge where it was a little more low key, sat down ordered a drink and chilled on one of the VIP lounge couches.
So my buddies and I are chilling and I've got one buddy who was loud and fricken obnoxious (but fun to hang with) who stands up and yells "I'm going down on the dance floor and getting some pussy from one of these bitches!"
We laugh and he and another buddy head down to the dance floor and start getting their shit on. It was almost comical. My buddy was so obnoxious and so amped up that he is cock grinding every chick within a 100 foot radius of him, I shit you not that kid was humping..so out of control that it was almost getting embarrassing, so I'm keeping a distance and just watching the show. He's grinding Asian chicks, black chicks, white chicks, doesn't matter... I shit you not, this kid is on the dance floor, shirt tucked in with a full on Boner trying to grind anything that looked like it possibly had a vagina. No shit kids..it was fricken embarrassing.
At any rate, while I'm watching this embarrassing display of boner abuse, this girl walks up about ten feet away and starts watching the show from the balcony..and kids..she is absolutely beautiful. Blonde, 115, excellent body, amazing eyes, just blow me a way hot.
So I'm staying there trying to look cool, feeling damn good, i was coming off a huge win in my own personal life, confidence at an all time high..so I thought what the hell and walked over to this girl and start talking to her. I shit you not kids everything was so smooth and easy with this girl..to make a long story short, we hit it off. Never had I ever blindly met someone who I felt so absolutely comfortable around, her laugh, her smile, her warmth. It was fricken magical. I was seriously thinking that I had found my future wife.
Damn kids, I'm not a love at first sight kind of guy but if it was possible..I found myself falling for this chick, and I really felt like she was falling for me too. It was like the whole fricken dance club disappeared as we sat on one of the VIP couches and just talked. She snuggled up against me and everything just felt right. We kissed a few times, laughed and kept talking. It was like I had met my soul mate.
So shit is going as good as it gets until two of her friends show up, one is crying. I'm thinking "great, my buddy probably cock slapped her."
So this girl gets up talking to her friends, whatever the hell was going down seemed serious. So this girl comes back to me and says she has to leave for minute, promises she'll be back and says "please don't go anywhere, I will be back I promise."
I smile, and say "it's cool, I'm not going anywhere." No shit kids I had no intention of going anywhere, I really felt like I had met my soul mate. (No homo. Better throw one in there, this story is kind of sappy. Sorry bros and brozettes)
To make a long story short I waited for a couple of hours and she never came back. I was pretty bummed. This was before I even had a cell phone and all I had was a first Name.
Never heard from that chick again. For a while she was all that I could think about. I felt like I had totally missed the boat on my future wife..it was weird to be heart broken over a chick that I had only know for just a brief period of time. Kind of a sad deal right? You bet your ass it was. There was something special about this chick and no shit kids, for a long time this chick haunted my dreams.
Fast forward fifteen years later..
Sunday, I was sitting in an airport waiting for a connecting flight and I notice a real pretty blonde lady sitting next to a cell phone charging station charging her phone. She looks damn familiar and I can't quit staring at her and I notice she keeps looking at me kind of funny, and it hits me this is that same girl from the dance club 16 years earlier. Nervous, but knowing the huge regrets that would follow if I didn't say anything I walk over and say hello.
She looks up and says:"who are you! I know you and it's killing me that I can't remember where from."
So remind her of that night at studio 54, 16 years previous and she goes quiet, looks down and then stands up and gives me probably the warmest hug I've had in a long time. She lets go and she has tears streaming down her cheeks and starts explaining to me why she never came back that night. I sit down and we talk, it was like 15 years ago was nothing, there was something there again, feelings, all that shit. The attraction was un-denyable. Come to find out she was as heartbroken as I was about the missed connection.
However, the other thing that was un-deniable, was the fact that she had a wedding ring on and I too am married. Not to mention Happily married with kids.
At any rate my plane started to board and my ass didn't want to leave, and she didn't want me to leave either. She looks up at me more tears again and says: "what are we supposed to do with this? As she motions with her fingers back and forth at each of us.
No shit kids, everything in me wants to miss the flight and run off with this girl...the attraction, not just sexual but emotional was something I wasn't prepared to deal with.
But then the thought came to me of my three little kids, and my beautiful wife who, for fifteen years had been with me solid, through about every good and bad thing imaginable and I realized that this little magical airport romance, even though my heart was aching for it, wasn't going to happen.
So I told her, that out of respect for her husband and my wife, we better do the right thing, and not take it any further. (Seriously killed me to say it) I stood up grabbed my bag, she stood up and gave me this hug...shit kids...wish I could explain it. There was something too perfect about the connection I had to this chick...
I told her goodbye turned around and boarded my plane.
Now I've got to figure a way to get this chick out of my mind.
Holy shit kids, I'm not going to lie, I'm a little messed up by the situation.

Just thought I'd share since I can't really share it with anyone I know.

What would you have done in my situation?

Thanks for listening. Sorry for the sappy ass post.
No homo

That's some crazy shit! Though I usually pretend II have no idea who they are when I run into random women from the past. But you did the right thing.

Did I just read a script for a tom hanks movie?

GATORNATION's picture

Haha..That's what I said. It's a made for movie story. lol

In a promo × 1
GATORNATION's picture

That's a made for movie story bro. I'll let you know when I get the producer lined up.

On the real though. That would be a tough situation and props to you for putting your wife and family first. Sometimes there is bond with someone that you can't explain. You found that bond 16 years ago. Serendipity

Ok. I'm going to go take some AI for my estro now...lol

This just shows how much 16 years of training, conditioning, and the power of a prenup has.

Engineereddisaster's picture

I think you got it wrong..it should have read the power of no pre-nup. Smile

Theophany's picture

I'm not surprised ED! So inline with your upstanding character! You're a very good man with a conscience! Had you submitted to feelings and temptation, you would have dealt with sickening guilt for the rest of your life! Much respect for a moral call!

No homo!

Engineereddisaster's picture

Lol, I don't know about anything upstanding...I still kill random hookers every now and then but they really don't count because they don't have souls right? Smile

No homo back atcha.

Theophany's picture

Absolutely! Sometimes I'll go to the zoo and get all sorts of nasty with the Tasmanian devils! But it's still no homo if their female right? Lmao

Engineereddisaster's picture

Of course! We are all a little guilt of that. Smile

The Impastable's picture

The grass is always greener on the other side Ed, until you get there and realize it's the same patch of weeds... Except this one Has random turds here as there because the landlord has a dog.

My hat goes off to you for being the bigger man and walking away like that.

No homo.

Engineereddisaster's picture

Thanks Pasta, I like th analogy. Smile I'm not going to lie...this was a tough pasture to pass up. Couldn't see a single turd in site. Smile

The Impastable's picture

I see what you did there Smile

Engineereddisaster's picture

Yeah, I probably should get a baby sitter and take her somewhere nice like Taco Bell or the Target Cafeteria. Smile

Engineereddisaster's picture

Lol, always gotta be trying to show me up....

Harley1969's picture

You did the right thing brother, no regrets. Hopefully she doesn't keep popping up everywhere like Kristie Brinkley did to Clark Griswold on the vacation movies.

Engineereddisaster's picture

That's no shit. I think as long as I stay away and don't try to play with fire by tempting myself with it..
I didn't give her my cell number and I don't have a Facebook account that she can hit me up on so I think as long as I avoid the temptation it should be fine. I think she's classy enough to leave it alone if I leave it alone.

konig's picture

The chase is always better than the catch.. its crazy that you saw her again but it is good that you did in order to clear the air in why she didn't come back that first time.. that would absolutely kill me!

Engineereddisaster's picture

It was weird I hadn't ever "hit it off" like that with anyone ever. she even said the same thing at the airport.
It messed with me pretty good back when it happened. Sounds like it messed with her a little too, which makes me feel better because if not that would make me a nut job. Smile

Pale's picture

One real positive here for you tho is you need not wonder anymore what happened that night or what happened to her. You know now. It wasn't just an alcohol fueled dream, it was real and she remembered it too. There is movie in this somewhere, kind of "Lost in Translation" type script....

Engineereddisaster's picture

It's kind of crazy, I don't even think that j finished an entire drink that night.
But yeah, it was cool to know that the chick was in to me as much as I was in to her

Pale's picture

Seriously, this has blockbuster chick flick all over it man.....

Engineereddisaster's picture

Lol, I need to sell this shit to Lifetime television for women.
I wonder if we could have me killing hookers and shit in my free time though. I want to still have me portrayed as a sweet guy but I don't want to seem too sweet. Maybe just a quick scene with me choking a bitch in my van. I don't know man.

Pale's picture

Lmao, I think I leaving the hooker scenes on the cut room floor. I'm trying to get paid..lol

Darkhorse777's picture

You did the right thing be proud of yourself i believe things in life always happen for a reason. Who knows man maybe after a few hours days months years she could a real bitch man . Sounds like you have been blessed with your wife and kids whenever those stray thoughts of what ifs pop in your head do what you did think your wife better yet give her hug tell her something nice do the same for those kids I've had similiar things not the same happen in my life the best medicine is just look at how lost you would probably be without your fam you have now cherish them youll forget about what could have been sooner than you think. Hell man im proud of what you did thats all class bro we need more ed's and less scumbags :-)

Engineereddisaster's picture

That's good advice bro. Thanks.

Greg's picture

This truly was an Engineered Disaster.

Sell the movie rights to Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. The money will help you get over it.

Engineereddisaster's picture

Lol, have you seen Meg Ryan lately? Damn bro, she could pass for a crack whore these days.
Hmmm, which gives me another idea.. she could star in another movie of mine. Smile

Engineereddisaster's picture

I think when you get to where I'm at with kids and everything, and have had someone like my wife by my side for so long, who has been nothing short of amazing for as long as we have been together..
staying true to her and the kids has to be the top priority. Who knows where this other adventure would have taken me. Could have been pretty damn exciting...however, My wife and I have been building this little team of ours for a very long time. To take the other road would mean selling out my team, and I couldn't look myself in the mirror if I did that...
And we all know how much I love looking at myself in the mirror. Smile

juiceball8082's picture

That's a once in lifetime situation my friend! I don't know what I've woulda done.

Engineereddisaster's picture

Hopefully the right thing. Smile

juiceball8082's picture

I think you did.

Pale's picture

How does the song go? Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.. I never had an experience quite like the one you describe but there was a girl that I lost along the way that I had loved since we were 12 or 13. We reconnected a few years ago via social media. Luckily she lives on the other side of the country now so we can be friends from a great distance. Plus like you I have the most loyal woman on the planet as my wife and could never live with hurting her.

One real positive of this is you are both alive and well and both happy other than your missed connection. Sometimes fate intervenes.

Pale's picture

Plus brother I think we are a lot alike myself on that if you had acted your conscience would have ate you alive..

Engineereddisaster's picture

Yeah bro, there is no way that I could have lived with it.
I think about what would happen if the tables were turned and my wife did it to me...that shit would destroy me.

Engineereddisaster's picture

Life is a crazy fricken ride bro.

This is the song that I have to think about. Lol

http://youtu.be/RriwQbiLJNA

Pale's picture

Real talk, if you are going to put up a country song you best damn sure add a no homo. That is suspect..

Engineereddisaster's picture

Lol, I'm telling ya bro this shit has messed with my head something fierce. I've been listening to country all fricken morning. Smile

Pale's picture

This shit is more serious than I thought. You put on some classic rock right now and get your head right before this gets any worse.

Engineereddisaster's picture

I don't know man, I'm listening to this and damn man it's really helping the healing process...

http://youtu.be/oms-KjgG38U

Pretty tough to top that.... Smile

vhman's picture

There are only two types of music in this world....... Country and Western! ;-)

Engineereddisaster's picture

That's what I'm talking about. Smile
