Ian Brennan McAndrew
Wednesday will be three months since he asked me to be his girlfriend on a tuesday at the end of August. As he played on the computer in his aunt's huge upper west side apartment, I mentioned a comment Kali had made to me.
"She wanted to know what we are," I asked, thinking of how I'd rushed downtown to see him after an afternoon job grinning like an idiot on the subway ride down with "Anna Begins" on repeat on my discman (Edit: just realised that the title of that album is August and Everything After...).
He turned around, grinning and came to sit with me on the little bed in the computer/guest room.
I don't remember exactly what was said following-he does. Probably because he was thinking about what to say while my head was rushing with so many thoughts. What am I doing? I don't DO monogamy well...but I only want to be with him-this man who is so wonderfully loud and insane...he's going to ask me...I'm going to say yes...
It's coming out sounding all cheesy, but truly I was flushed and overwhelmed in an incredibly life-style changing way. I was happy and shocked all at once by my feelings.
He asked me to be his girlfriend, that he'd never felt like this about anyone before, and when I said yes he followed by asking if I'd "go steady" with him. That's my boy. Be all charming and cute while covering your bases-had to slip in there right at the beginning that this wasn't an open relationship...
He's been such a help to me. Such a force of good, happy, and fun. Such a challenge, but a good challange. The past few weeks have been idyllic-we're really starting to understand each other. I'm really starting to trust this.
We're going to spike some hot drinks and watch them inflate the Macy's balloon's for our "anniversary".
