Girl Crush

I went to a friend's wedding this weekend in Vegas. Now you would assume that if you're drivng 500 miles to go to Vegas for a wedding that it would be held within a reasonable proximity of the Vegas strip, otherwise, what's the point? It's not as if we the bride and groom were locals. Nope, they're from LA, just like the majority of the guests. Instead, the bride and groom chose a golf course about 45 miles north of the Vegas strip in the middle of god's nowhere. As far as I could tell, the wedding could have been held in the Inland Empire, because the northern part of Nevada pretty much looks the same. I would have only had to drive and hour instead of 5. I must really love my friends.

I knew most of the guests already, but for the most part, everyone was new to me. After I got past the annoying and snobby sister team that has annoyed me for the better part of last 5 years, said hello to the few others I was familiar with, we made our way to the casino's nightclub to watch a band play. On the way down I noticed a very tall pretty woman. She had to have been about 6 feet tall. Her hair was highlighted blond, wavy and cut above her shoulders, and her eyes were blue. He had one of those great smiley faces, which is so the opposite of mine. She wasn't thin, but she wasn't fat. She was the size a woman of 6 feet tall should be. She was wearing a short black strapless dress and black heels. I really didn't notice her all that much, except for how tall she was. I wasn't feeling all that hot after our very long drive into Vegas, and then heading out of Vegas to find the wedding party... I was a bit cranky.

But after I had a few drinks and started to relax, and settled in to watch the band play, I felt much better. People were mingling and talking, and as I was looking behind me to see who was coming or going, the very tall girl sat in the empty seat opposite me and introduced herself. We talked for a bit, and she was very intelligent. We laughed and joked a little and talked about the bride and groom. She flashed a very sincere smile at me at one point, and I felt heat flash across my face.

She excused herself for a moment and I was felt something I'd never felt before about a woman. I didn't want her to leave. I wanted her to stay and talk to me. I wanted to get to know her. I had a girl crush! I couldn't help it. She's beautiful. I watched her move around the room and talk and I just wanted her to come back and sit with me. I wanted to get her alone and kiss her. I wanted her... *sigh* maybe I'll get to see her again soon.
