| And now onto this weekend...
Her birthday was Friday. Thursday night my roommate and I go out to meet up with her friends - she stayed in that night. Previously she had mentioned a wine tour for her birthday, which was going to take place the weekend of my birthday (upcoming weekend), so I invited myself along. She said she didn't know the details, but she would let me know. Her friend tells me they are postponing it until June because of schedule conflicts, so that night I talked with her friends and just hung out.
My roommate's other cousin (also a very good looking girl) is in town from Florida, so we all go out Friday night. I was exhausted, but toughed it out anyways. We start by going to this small concert at my old college, it sucked. We all go back to my house because my roommate forgot his wallet, so she gets to see our messy ass house. Then we head out to the bar for her birthday, she picks a bar I'm not too fond of but it wasn't my night. So we all go there and meet up with some of her friends, grab some drinks, talk a bit. My other roommate's girlfriend shows up with her friend, who is really into me but she isn't my type and not very attractive. I talk with her a bit, and then go back to my roommate and his cousins. My roommate says I should just bang her and get it over with, and his cousin (the one I want to hook up with) agreed with him and said I need to get the first one out of the way (since my breakup). I told them I wouldn't lower my standards, and his other cousin agreed with me. My roommate and I are getting tired and want to leave, so we leave a little early with the other cousin and she goes back to the bar with her friends.
Saturday, my roommate is DJing a sweet 16 for yet another cousin. I'm like part of the family, so I tag along as the "co-DJ" since I had nothing else to do. I'll call the cousin I want to hook up with cousin 1, and the one from Florida cousin 2. They both are there, since it is a family thing. Cousin 1's parents are there too, I had some conversations with them about random stuff. All-in-all I was pretty social, but didn't talk to cousin 1 very much. Most of the family leaves, cousin 1 and 2 stick around for a while as the 16-year olds are all dancing. We shoot the shit for a bit, and the cousin's leave to go get ready to go out. My roommate and I have to stay until the party ends, but we agree to meet up after we finish up.
So we finish up DJing and head back home to get ready to go out. Cousin's and her friends are taking too long to get ready, so my roommate and I head out to the bars. We meet up with this chick he met at a concert about a month ago, they've been talking since then. We finally head out to the club where his cousin's are, and meet them at the bar. Cousin 2 doesn't look too happy at the bar, and I greet them all. I see my ex's good friend next to cousin 2, she tries to talk to me but I keep it short and just say hi and walk away from her. Didn't want to talk with her at all... So my roommate, his girl and I are talking, and cousin 1 walks by me and says in my ear that they are going to dance. I just nod my head and keep talking, and then a few minutes later make my way over to the dance floor. They are all dancing in a circle, so I post up between cousin 1 and 2. We dance, I notice cousin 1 getting in front of my quite a bit. Unfortunately, 50 feet away my roommate and his girl are dancing. I'm still afraid to mess up a friendship for a girl, so I don't make any moves. The song "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye comes on, and cousin 1 turns to me and said this is our song (she is recently out of a relationship as well) So we cheers with our beer bottles and sing the whole thing through, overall just having a good time.
I see cousin 2 is not enjoying herself, so I ask her if she wants to go the bar to get a drink with me. We end up going outside and she tells me she feels uncomfortable being from out of town and that she has a lot on her mind. She was drunk, so she was all emotional. We talk outside for about a half-hour, yes I was her emotional tampon. I tried to cheer her up and make her laugh, it sorta worked. My roommate had to go back to the other bar we were at because he forgot to close his tab. So cousin 2 and I decide to go get some food, but as we are walking out we see cousin 1 standing at the entrance. ANOTHER cousin (confused yet?) was in line waiting to get into the club, and cousin 1 was waiting there for her. At this point I tell her that cousin 2 isn't very happy, and that pretty much ended the night. We all stand outside, and I bring cousin 2 to get some food nearby. Come back to the group, my roommate is waiting in his truck across the street. Cousin 1 asks me where I'm going for the night, I said I'm probably going home with my roommate. She asks me the same thing a couple more times after this, and I guess I was too drunk to realize what was happening. So cousin 2 is in a better mood after getting food, and I tell them I am taking off. Cousin 1 tells me to text her when I get to my roommate's truck, and I tell her he is right across the street. She insists I text her to let her know, so I do and she responds with "Okay thanks!!". Yet another sign I didn't read into at the time...
So I'm pretty sure she is interested. However, the issue of it being my roommate's cousin is still there. I'm not really sure how to bring it up to him. Like I said, he knows I'm a good guy and I'm not out for revenge on women after my breakup. Cousin 2 even texted him later that night and said how good of a guy I am because I took care of her. What should my next move be, after I talk with my roommate and assuming he is ok with it? I was thinking of calling her this week and telling her I would be joining her and her friends this weekend because all mine will be busy (I have nothing to do Saturday night, and it is my birthday weekend). Would this be too much of a DLV? _________________ The hottest ginger you'll ever meet.
