Why is that we so rarely choose to connect with other human beings? Even as the younger sibling of 14 other older children, I sometimes felt alone. Why was/is that? Why is it so hard for us to connect with a individual from our own species? Maybe because we are so content to look AT one another that we rarely SEE each other. For example, my siblings know me as their baby sister, the aunt of their children, the tallest of all our sisters and the first to graduate college. But anyone can know this information – it’s in all my on-line profiles. What do my brothers and sisters SEE when they look AT me? I’m almost afraid to ask.
I get off work early on Friday, at 4:40. I’ve already cleared the evening to spend with him. Very excited and flustered, I rush home to grab some clothes to put in my overnight bag. We’re supposed to go see a movie- either Terminator: Salvation, The Hangover, or Star Trek- so of course I’m thinking I need a cute outfit to wear (we’ll talk more about this later).
Customary kisses greet me when I arrive. He has chocolate kisses – they’re powerful, addictive, and could be sold wherever Visa credit cards are accepted. As soon as I arrive, we’re leaving to go get food (Yes!!!). Pizza (Of course!).
While we’re out getting food, I tell him that I haven’t eaten ALL day- that I’ve skipped lunch. He asks if I ate breakfast – “No. I can’t eat in the morning,” I tell him. Its true- my stomach always feels nauseous and gassy in the morning.
“Why don’t you try a breakfast smoothie. You know… those yogurt ones,” he suggests.
I ask him, “Are they good?”
“No! They’re nasty!”– It’s silent before laughter erupts from my body. I’m tickled pink and I begin mocking him. I lower voice to mimic him and he starts to laugh as well. We’ve only been around each other that day for 10 minutes and we’re already sharing good memories with each other. It was destined to be a good weekend.
We’re more relaxed around each other this time around. We make lots of plans but only follow through on 1 of them- we finally see Terminator: Salvation. Neffie and Everett joins us (Another Double Date). Remember when I thought I needed a cute outfit to wear…well I didn’t even try it on that night. He said that I didn’t need to. “You already got your man. You don’t need it.” I got a man! WoW! I knew we were in a relationship but to hear him say it so candidly was unexpected. I apperciate his feelings on the matter, so I decided to re-dress in the outfit I had on and just freshen up. I didn’t even wear underwear because he suggested it. LoL!
It was a good movie and he enjoyed himself throughly. It was action packed and viloence filled- a perfect guy movie (he hates “girl” movies). I also enjoyed it, but for a different reason… he held me the entire time, delivered a couple of kisses, massaged my shoulders when I laid my head in his lap (Sigh!!!). Movie Tickets – $36. Concession Goodies (including beer, popcorn, and chicken) – $40. Getting his attention while watching Terminator: Salvation- PRICLESS. Very nice and tender moments, very PDA approved.
How does the rest of the weekend proceed? We R.E.S.T.!!! Saturday – we got up at 3 PM. Sunday – we got up at 6 PM. We eat in between the times and snuggle the rest of the times. It was perfect. It was fantastic. It went by too fast. Fucking Monday!!!!
