I got a flat tire on my way to my best friends birthday dinner last night and had to leave the car and run to avoid being late.
I spent the car ride on the phone with audi roadside assistance, nationwide and my psuedo triple a I have via my dad.
Nothing was panning out and I wasn't sure what time I'd be home.
Finally, insurance says they'll be able to send someone out. Whew, relief.
I get home, start unpacking the baby tire from my trunk, getting all the gear out and no one arrives...
I need my car for work, I need to figure this shit out tonight. My AM meeting is not missable sooooo I text Antonio.
Photo of flat tire & "any chance you know how to change a tire?"
"of course, need help?"
"I know it's late and you don't have a car, only if you're super sure. I can't get the bolts off the tire (I did try to DIY it for a SOLID hour)."
"I wouldn't offer if I didn't really mean it. I don't go to bed at 10pm. Grabbing a car2go, be there soon."
Mind you he lives about 15 minutes away which isn't a big deal but when you work really long hours, it's not the greatest to go help some girl you're sorttttt of dating at 10:45pm.
He gets to my place, gets the tire off, gets the new one on and bam, I am set to survive the next morning.
I tell him to come in to wash his hands. (Obviously my intentions are more R rated than that)
We start kissing, things get heated and he goes, "I had to run a mile to find a car2go and I was in such a rush to help you I didn't bring a condom...."
"Wait, you ran what?!"
"Yeah, it was further away than I thought so I just did a little late night, miler to grab it."
"Sooooo not only do you come save the day BUT you ran a mile to do so? Damn....And you didn't bring a condom which means you really weren't just doing this to get laid."
"Well, you bought me a lemon squeezer so it's only fair I change your tire. The condom thing is piss poor planning on my part though."
"Wow, I am just super surprised."
"Well, you look fucking amazing right now and you're pretty adorable not knowing a damn thing about cars plus this is giving me a chance to look manly."
Fast forward - I found a condom, we hooked up and he ran to get back to his car2go before it expired on him.
Can we just reflect for a second on how insanely nice all of this was?! I am STILL in shock as I sit here in a diner writing while waiting for all my tires to get replaced.
When I said this guy does ALL the right things, I truly wasn't kidding.
So today I texted him an update...I'll attach it below.
Hopes are getttttting higher....send help!
