together at last
well, what can i say? i did it. i actually did it. after these long months of waiting, wondering, obsessing, worrying, loving... i finally got what i wanted.
on tuesday i had my audition for showcase, so i went into the school in the afternoon, and of course he was there. after our little moment the friday before, there was no way i couldn't say hi, even though a part of me was still a little nervous and, dare i say, still had a little bit of doubt. so i walked into his office, said hello, asked how he was doing, yada yada. THEN... HE was the one to actually break the ice. so there i was, just sitting and talking to him, then he asked me 'have you ever been to a drive-in?' i told him no, to which he responded with 'wanna go this friday?' i of course said yes, while my insides were leaping with joy! he had asked me out on a date! an official date! at the drive-in. how romantic and 70s is that?? what really got me was the fact that he could have just as simply asked me out to the normal theatre, but no, he asked me out to the drive-in! what's more is that it is the only drive-in in vancouver, and it's about an hour's drive out of the city. so the fact that he was willing to take me all the way out there just for a date was so incredibly sweet. and after asking me, he went on to explain how he has to get his buddy to help him set-up the radio in his car, because he didn't have one. and he was so desperate to get it for friday, that apparently he rearranged a bunch of his meetings and stuff just so that he could get his buddy to install it for him. can you say 'awwwwwwwww!'? so i was super excited after that, and friday couldn't come any faster.
however, something even more exciting happened on wednesday. early on in the afternoon, i received a random text from him, asking me if i wanted to join him for a couple of drinks that night. obviously i said yes, and immediately started getting ready while prancing around on cloud 9. a second date! (well, technically it was our first, even though friday was supposed to be our first.) so, i finish getting ready, then later on around 8 he picks me up and takes me to a bar a few blocks from my house. we had a really great time, it wasn't as awkward as i feared it would be; we actually had a nice, long, active conversation, and got to learn a little more about eachother. then after a couple beers, he asks me if i want to go for a walk. i said ok, so then we leave and just start strolling down along the street. we eventually wind up in a nearby park with a play structure, where we head over to one of those large tire-like swings and decide to swing on it together. so as we're swinging, i decide to wrap my arms around his waist from behind, with my front pressed against his back, and my legs on either side of him. we stay like that for a little bit, and then i start lightly brushing my lips along the back of his neck, and then eventually move up to nibble on his ear. after a couple minutes, he sloooowly starts turning his head towards me, like in a romantic movie, until our lips are touching ever so slightly. then the soft, sweet kisses ensue, and before we know it... we are making out on the swing. it was soooo nice, and romantic, and sweet, and lovely, and ahhhh~ simply wonderful! i had originally wanted to wait and have our first kiss on the friday at the drive-in, but i didn't regret it one bit after it had happened. it was so worth it, and equally as romantic.
then friday rolled around and OH. MY. GOD. THE ENTIRE DAY... i was just bubbling with anticipation and spent the whole day pampering myself and getting ready. i wanted it to be PERFECT. and it was... for the most part. he picked me up around 6, since we needed to leave early in order to get there early to get a good spot and whatnot. so then we head out, and the drive there was alright, even though it did take an hour. the only one fuck up that i did make that night was spilling olive juice on his car carpet. yep. i was eating olives, and put them down for just a second, and then bam! of course, i accidentally knock the jar over. and of course, it was a new car. i'm usually not that clumsy, so that's why it really pissed me off that it happened, but i think i did an alright job at cleaning it up, and he didn't seem too upset by it. anyway, once we arrived, we got the good spot he wanted, and started setting everything up. he packed the car with a bunch of cushions, pillows, and blankets, so we had a cozy little set-up in the back, which was really nice. then from there on, we pretty much just hung out until the movie started, and luckily we didn't have to wait very long. then during the 2 movies that we saw, we cuddled the entire time and made out here and there. it was really lovely, and i had an amazing time. it was, hands down, the most romantic date i've ever been on, so i know that one will definitely be going down in history. THEN, he asks me if i want to go back to his place after. automatically i'm aware of the intentions behind that question, which i would have normally been fine with, HOWEVER... my lovely time of the month happened to strike up that very same day (of all days, right?), so i told him that i was still willing to go, but sexy tiem was off limits. he said that was fine, i could just come anyway... so i did. and his place is a really cute little basement suite, which he had actually decorated pretty nicely. for a guy, anyway, i was impressed. so we did end up getting a little frisky underneath the sheets, but clothes, of course, remained on. it was hard being turned on and not being able to do anything about it, though... although, i'm kinda glad we got to wait, because then it helps build the anticipation, and i don't want our relationship to be just about the sex anyway. i made that mistake with my last relationship, where we started off with sex, and that's all it became about. i don't want to make that same mistake with this relationship. so if he's willing to be patient and love me for more than my body, then that'll really prove a lot. but, anyway, we had a really fun time regardless, and i ended up sleeping over. the next morning, we just sort of hung out in bed until about noon. while doing so, he asked me if my mom knew about 'us'. that was kind of the point where i realized that we were in an actual relationship. because then we got on to talking about it and who knew what, and then i asked him if he told his parents or anyone, and he said no, but he'll tell them 'eventually'. so why would he say that if his intentions weren't to be in a relationship with me? and then he asked me if all my classmates knew, and i said no, but would it be so bad if they found out? and he said no it wouldn't. so i'm really glad that he's not trying to hide it or anything, that says a lot, and makes me feel so much more at ease. anyway, after finally getting out of bed late, we decided to go out for breakfast. then there was a little beach/park near the diner, so we decided to walk over there after and cuddle on a log on the beach for a little bit. it was a really nice day out, so it felt good to just sit out in sun with him. i love a guy who will just do random things like that with me. and that was just about the end of our date. he took me home after, and then we had another one of our usual drawn-out goodbyes. and i'm supposed to be seeing him again sometime this week! i have rehearsals for showcase this week too, since i did end up getting in, so i'll have to work around that. but i'll keep trying to post updates as often as i can!
