Uncomfortable Morning
I had a really weird day today! My boss who is also one of my cousin's wife called me this morning and asked if I would watch her about 2 week old baby, Rocklyn, while she ran to a meeting. Her monther-in-law is coming in to town today and she was thinking that she would be around to watch Rocklyn while my boss went to the meeting but her mother-in-law wasn't going to be in town soon enough. So I went down to where the meeting was with her and just hung out at a Starbucks and watch Rocklyn while my boss went to the meeting. I walk into Starbucks and place Rocklyn down and not even 30 seconds after I place her down and start thinking about how I was going to work the whole juggling her and my purse while I go get a drink when this random guy comes over to chat with me about Rocklyn. He is definitly older than my dad and starts chatting with me about Rocklyn and asks if he can get me a coffee. I tell him I'm ok, I'll get myself a drink in a minute. He insits and I give in and he goes to get me a coffee. He comes back and starts chatting with me. I first think he is just a nice man and think nothing of his chit chatting with me. The next thing I know he is telling me that I should come down to Renton sometime (the city we are currently in) and he would show me around which is a little odd to me. He is an artist and the next thing I know he decides he wants to do a charcoal drawing of Rocklyn. I was a little annoyed because he was trying to get better lighting and was more concerned about getting the right angle than keeping her asleep. My main concern was obviously to keep her asleep because I knew the moment she woke up she would start crying. The next thing I know he decides Rocklyn is kind of hard to draw so he wants to draw me. I'm trying to focus on Rocklyn and keep her asleep while he is telling me to look at him and turn my head certain ways. Then he starts joking with me about how I am going to pay him for the drawing and suggests maybe I should go to lunch or dinner with him. Very uncomfortable at this moment, I just laugh it off and say that he was the one that wanted to draw in the first place. Thankfully Tarelle came not too long after this and rescued me and Rocklyn. He drew 3 pictures and gave them to Tarelle and I. Needless to say I don't think I have ever been so uncomfortable in my entire life.
