Things are looking up...

M (VirGuy Bartender) and I are officially on the mend. A mutual friend (a TRUE friend, not Married Guy) pulled me aside and explained that I needed to apologize to M for something I said. M did hurt me one night when he got mad at me and threw my money off the bar. He was coming down pretty hard on someone and I tried to intercede on her behalf. BIG MISTAKE. His reaction was totally uncharacteristic and, in retrospective, was probably chemically induced. Now, I am not saying his behavior is justifiable in any way but I too reacted badly by calling him an a-hole a month later when I returned.
The TRUE friend told me that M really likes me a lot and devised, a clever way for me to get his attention. I didn't think I owed him an apology because I still think he behaved like and a-hole.
Now, for over a year M and I have drunk ourselves silly some nights and never exchanged one mean word between us. We just ended up talking about movies, sports, etc. Some afternoons it would be just us two; that's when he would start to open up. The PRIVACY things really does work ladies! We've never been physically intimate; only emotionally.
Before I knew what happened the TRUE friend told M that I wanted to make a toast. So, without any hesitation, M whips out 3 shot glasses and brings over a bottle of Jack Daniels. We held up our glasses and I told the two of them how much I loved them, that I hoped we could put the past behind us and here's to "new beginnings". I noticed M held his glass higher than mine. I think it's his way of letting me know he's sincere and not just exercising his arm. That was late Thursday afternoon.
When I walked in yesterday he was a like new person. Not new, the old M just suddenly reappeared. Now, this is going to sound silly but M knows I like having a napkin under my glass. It's civilized. For a long time he wouldn't bother to put one under my drink; I hated this and he knew it. As I approached the brass railing he made such a show of putting a stack of napkins down first, then my drink. Then he asked me if I was hungry and did I want some pizza? And as in the old days, the shots of Jack flowed more freely than in the past. M likes getting his friends liquored up. Most Fridays M hangs out with the gang and talks.I caught him from time to time looking over in my direction while he was talking to a buddy on the other side of the bar. Then he came over to talk a little and stood between me and another person.
Now, I must tell you, this comes as a total surprise! As I say, the root of his distance since November is still a puzzle but I am glad it's behind us. I missed my friend, our laughter and our time together. I always feel safe around him. It's reassuring to know there is another person who thinks and feels about things the way you do. No, we don't always agree, we just respect our differences.
