Prompt 235 - Show Us Where You Live

Jun 27, 2008 00:20


I live with a man I love.

I never actually thought any of this would work out. Ollie and I aren’t the marrying type, for one thing. Well, Ollie certainly isn’t.

For another, we’ve had far too many ups and downs to actually try to make a successful attempt at this yet another time. The last time it ended, I was certain that would be the last attempt.

I even made certain to tell him that I didn’t love him, when I was walking out the door.

Yet here we are. Cohabitating, and dancing around the discussion of children, even. Well, more children than the brood we already have.

It’s kind of wonderful.

It’s also kind of terrifying, because Ollie and I always have the kind of relationship where, even when things are happy, you know the ice is getting weak beneath your feet.

I keep waiting for the relationship to crumble, while hoping desperately that it won’t.
