A Second Invitation
I’d taken over my old instructor’s class for a number of years when his work schedule changed but then everything went to hell with Alison, so he returned, and I went back to just being one of his students.
But I still have a handful of people that I tutor – I’m not their main instructor but I give them tips and tricks to improve their kali.
One such person is a Radiologist from Pittsburg (which happens to be exactly where the Professor lives).
In any case, the Radiologist dropped me a line the other day.
Him: Hey! I remember us talking a while back about nice watches. My sister works for a luxury brand, and they are hosting some fun swanky event. Would you have any interest in taking your fiancée to something like that?
Me: 100%! Where and when?
So, before we knew it, we were downtown at Brookfield Place at the Omega Store there.
Turns out that the Radiologist got the time a bit off, so we walked around for 30 minutes beforehand, checking the place out.
And then, afterward, we went to the Omega store and met up with the Radiologist’s sister, who was just a sweetheart and got along with the Firecracker, swimmingly.
Her: Do you want to try on the pink one?
Firecracker: Sure, thanks!
She was also kind enough to have someone bring us some champagne…
Me: This reminds me of when we were in Pasadena.
Firecracker: Oh right, at Tiffany’s. We should check out wedding bands.
…as well as some hors d’oeuvres.
We spent most of the time chatting with his sister but also with the person in charge of alla the Omega stores in North America – turns out, he’s proficient in ranged weapons while I focus mainly on melee weapons.
Later on that week, the Radiologist was in town and we brought him to the same bistro I brought the professor for some drinks because he was fully scheduled.
Me: (to waitress) I bring all the Pittsburg doctors I know here.
Her: (laughs) OK!
Afterwards, the Firecracker and I chatted.
Her: It’s nice that you always get invited to the rando things.
Me: Like I said, the whole point of being invited someplace is to get a second invitation.
Location: all over midtown with a hot blonde and a dog
Mood: less ache-y
Music: The city won’t change us, we beat to the same drum (Spotify)
