I didn't immediately recognize the dark figure with an oversized umbrella, but who else would be walking towards me in the dim courtyard outside of the medical school?
"I knew that you didn't have an umbrella," he said.
After our failed dinner date, The Lawyer texted me around 8:30 p.m. to ask if I had gotten on the Metro yet. When I said that I hadn't, he asked if he could drive me home later. I responded in the affirmative, of course, but only after confirming that it was absolutely OK with him and that I wasn't impinging on his busy work schedule.
An hour later, he met me outside of the medical school with an umbrella, and walked me to the waiting car. As he opened the door for me, I noticed a bouquet of white tulips--my favorite flower--on the front console.
"Are those for me?," I asked, surprised.
"Actually, I bought them for myself...," The Lawyer replied, grinning with jest.
He also had cupcakes that he asked if he could take upstairs to my apartment and eat with me for dessert. So, after the 15 minute drive home to Virginia, that's what we did. Sitting in my living room, we drank tea, ate cupcakes, and finished up the residual work from the day.
For a busy weekday night with a busy lawyer and medical student, it was pretty much perfect.
(Don't worry, we are still going on our real third date sometime before Restaurant Week ends. He just has a big case that he's litigating on Friday and I have...well, MSII....USMLE Step 1...my summer research paper to write...take your pick, really.)

He sounds so incredibly wonderful. You two seem to jive so easily together. That's how it should be!!
Nice way to save the night :-D
Very very slick.
Y'all sound perfect together. I love it. Congratulations!
I think I love this guy. He sounds very thoughtful and caring.
Sitting together eating cupcakes sounds perfect. I always think a relationship is in a good place when you are comfortable enough to hang out together and 'just be'.
Crazytownusa- Thanks!
Thatgirl- I think so too. The fact that he walked from the car to the med. school entrance to save me from a single drop or rain caught me by surprise!
OMDG- Yes, yes indeed.
MC- Thank you!
Penelope- Yep, I agree. He mentioned something in an email today about getting concerned that I'd be "bored," because of all the sitting around/working that we do together. I reminded him of how much work I have to and the fact that I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
White tulips in winter! Perfection!
He definitely knows how to treat a lady! Love it!
OMG, you two sound tooooo cute!
Dammmmmit, I want cupcakes too!
Glad to hear 2012 is so far shaping up to be a very happy one!
