A night with Stallone

I don know what was bothering him, we were hanging out, drinking, having fun... that is, everybody but him!

He hardly talked to me that night, and I was, to say the least, confused. I don't think I ever did anything bad to him, except maybe not falling at his feet when we first met, and made a pass at me... but that was ages ago! Still, what was going on?

I had a party to attend, so I asked him if he wanted to come along... he accepted! Good! I thought. Although, I had to give him the full disclosure... It was a farewell party for one of my son's best friends, who had enrolled in the Navy, and his family was throwing this big summer bash in his honor... That meant, twenty somethings, mostly! He agreed.

As usual, I was almost thrown out of the place! just a little bit before 4 am. I just didn't want the party to end, and for that matter, I never want! My son had left the place hours earlier, he had to go see his girlfriend. But before he left, he made sure one of his friends would take me home... just didn't want to go there yet!

So, Sy and I tagged along with Juli and a couple more guys for a few more drinks. Just minutes short of dawn, we were back at Juli's playing cards and doing some more drinking. Turned out, Sy was staying a couple of blocks away. So, as a matter of speaking, we were almost home.
But something wasn't right. Sy, who's usually laughing, making jokes and full of life, that night was... not himself.

As the lights in everybody else's eyes started to dim, the atmosphere turned quiet and mellow... except for Juli, who suddenly decided to jump into the pool, jeans and all! It was now or never, so I went to Sy and sat on his lap, that made him smile, and for the first time since he got here, he actually looked me in the eyes... no need to say it started to look promising, his eyes and ears were open, and that's when I made my move and asked him what was happening... He hesitated for a moment, but then began remembering the time we met.

It was one of those International Film Festivals I usually like to work as a volunteer, just for the free passes to all the movie showings... And this time, I was in charge of picking up at the airport directors, actors, and any VIPs that needed to be picked up. Sy was on the jury, and that's how we met! He arrived on October 31st ... which means it was Hallowing, and I always dress up in costumes on Hallowing... That year, I was Cat Woman, whip and all!

No need to say he was kinda of afraid to jump into a car with a total stranger, dressed on a catsuit, black patent high heeled boots, and of course a working whip! But he did, and everybody that knows me, also knows that I can make anyone feel at ease even in the most bizarre circumstances... and I did!

Before we got to the hotel, he was already making his pass, but I am not one of those who get easily impressed by the “fame” thing... to me, they're just people, and I treat them accordingly. He was no exception. Instead, by the time the festival was over we'd become good friends... and remained such until now. But now...

Now he told me something that threw me completely off! He had fallen for me, I mean, really fallen! Like in “I am in love with you” kinda falling!
I had never seen him as anything else but my friend, and didn't know what to say. Didn't want to make him feel awkward either... But what to do???
We kept talking, about the way he and I are, and what we want out of life, etc. And suddenly, just like that... boom! I was making out with him at my son's friends house!

The rest, I would like to end saying it's history... But in reality, I can't! Cause that's exactly when I woke up, totally confused, and still trying to remember if we ever met at all!

And my reason for wondering it's the fact that, aside from his presence, everything else in that dream... Did really happen.
