The next couple weeks flew by. I realized, first and formost, that "the jerk at work" was actually not a jerk at all. It finally hit me, that was his way of getting to talk to me and he was actually really sweet, hilarious and super smart. I was smitten!
One afternoon my kids were playing in the gym. I waited and waited but Mr. Chris's group never came. I got a little discouraged and thought, "Well maybe I was wrong, he probably is just being nice to me at work, and nothing will ever come of this." About that time a little second grader walked in the gym and handed me a folded up piece of paper and a crayon. I opened the note and it said, "Miss Kelly will you go to Delta X-mas with me? Check yes or no. Mr. Chris." I checked yes so fast I thought the crayon was going to snap in two. Then I sent the note back with the little girl.
In a few minutes a group of second graders and a tall, broad shouldered Chris Jacobs with curls from under his hat came walking into the gym with the biggest smile on his face. My heart fluttered and I was smiling so big back at him I had to look down because I was a little embarrassed.
