Last night I drove out to Euless to hang out with Jeev. When texting earlier in the day, he instructed me not to eat as we would be going somewhere to eat around 9pm. We go out to eat alot, so this was not unusual, but since he already had a time in mind, I wondered where we would be going. When I arrived at his place a little after 7pm, he was still primping so I passed the time looking up stuff on the internet.
Earlier in the day, I had stopped by Nordstoms at both Stonebriar Mall and the Galleria to pick up my Kiehls Tea Tree Oil Toner and both were out of it, so Jeev graciously agreed to bring me to a mall close to him so I could pick some up. We looked up directions to that mall on google, then I was banished from viewing the computer screen as he looked up directions to the location he was taking me to dinner. My mind was wondering "where could we be going?" I asked many questions to get some kind of clue, but he wasn't falling for it. All he told me was that the food is good, but we are going there for some type of event that he thinks I might enjoy. Knowing Jeev, my first guess was "are we going to Starbucks? Is there a book signing???" He laughed. Wrong guess. I had been thinking maybe he was taking me to a sushi restaurant since he's been bugging me about not eating sushi correctly (I've tried it several times, but it just has no flavor). But then, what kind of event do they have a sushi restaurants?
We headed out the the mall and the Nordstroms at this location was out of my stuff, too, but the sales lady was able to find some at another store in some other state and have it shipped to me. It was around 8:30pm when we finished at Norstroms. I have a giftcard to Brighton Jewelry so I asked Jeev if we had time to stop by their store as well. I didn't know if reservations had been made or not. He said we had time and that it wasn't a big deal if we were 10-15 minutes late. So now I'm thinking, ok, there obviously aren't reservations because I don't think you can be that late. Now I was thinking there must be some kind of get together with Bianca and friends. We stopped at Brighton Jewelry and I again determined that I don't like their stuff and have no idea what I'm going to do with a $40 giftcard!
We left the mall to head to the secret location around 8:45pm. When we got in the car, Jeev entered the secret location into his GPS (aka...Emma). He entered the restuarant name "Champps." Now, I've eaten at Champps before and remember it as being a sportsbar. I was confused. Jeev taking me to eat American food??? Earlier in the day, a friend had text me to see if I wanted to go watch UFC with him. So, I jokingly asked Jeev "Are you taking me to go watch UFC????" Jeev quickly replied, "No, why would you think that?" I thought about it, then dismissed the thought because he doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would follow UFC. But I couldn't think of any other event that would be going on at Champps. Again, I figured we must be meeting up with the gang.
So, we get to Champps and the parking lot is full. I'm wondering what kind of event is going on. We walked into the restaurant and right there on the big screen is the UFC fight. I looked at Jeev and punched him in the arm....and he started cracking up! He had brought me to watch UFC! Not only that, we had a table right in front of the big screen tv!
So, for the next two hours, we watched the fight. Jeev is a big follower of it because of the mixed-martial arts. He also had to see his guy "Rampage Jackson" win. I had watched UFC once years before with my dad and was in absolute shock the entire time wondering what the hell was wrong with these guys! This time, though, it was pretty cool to watch, especially knowing that I was getting to watch something that Jeev likes to watch. Was this what I had expected? Heck no! But was it fun? Absolutely! Will I watch it again? Heck yeah! I have to watch in May when Rampage Jackson takes back his title! I've got to watch that "Black on Black Crime!"
