He's at work from 9 to 5 everyday this week, and just sent me a text that said: "Hey baby, just wanted to tell you I love you xoxo".
Yes, we're loving each other, after a lot of ups and downs, fighting, crying in the park, being stuck together 24 hours everyday for 2 months on a boat that was 12 meters long... I love him..
Last Wednesday we got back to Airlie Beach, not a day too early, I'd contemplated leaving several times, not coz of him but coz of the other two guys on the boat who treated me so badly. We celebrate on the boat, have gin tonics and champagne, and the next thing I know we're home in his apartment. We're both really drunk, and none of us remember leaving the boat. We take a shower, and things are blurry, but for some reason we're suddenly both crying, and he tells me he loves me and that he's wanted to tell me a long time ago but wanted to wait until we're off the boat. We fall asleep at 8 pm all cuddled up, exhaisted from being on a boat for 8 weeks..
He was definetely so not the relationship type, and I knew that from the moment I met him. I thought he'd be just another guy who'd be bad for me, and my expectations were non-existent. On Sunday, he'd arranged a surprise cruise for me, in the Whitsundays, but just as we were supposed to leave, the whole thing got cancelled.. Instead we had a picnic and wine in the park. I asked him whether he was looking for a relationship at all when he met me, "Not at all", he replied, "I never thought I'd be in a relationship beofre I even turned 30!" "Well, I am glad you changed your mind", I said. He looked at me and said: "I didn't.....you changed my mind."
Somehow, even though his past is not the past you'd like your boyfriend to have, I trust him. I trust him more than I ever trusted any boy. He makes me happy, he makes me feel better about myself, I always feel like I am the most beautiful girl in the world when I'm around him.
So, here I am.. At the very end of my around the world trip, in a week, I can write a post from my own bed. It's unreal, and I won't realize it until I am actually home. I got way more than I ever bargained for, and in two days I have to leave him..
