Eric: the entire story
A lot happened, and a lot didn't happen, since the super cute messages between Eric and I. Here's everything...
So he and I went on a few dates. He drove out to Redlands and everything. Our first date he took me to the Elephant Bar, and it was cute. Then we went to this fantastic park near my school, and we just walked around (it's huge!) for hours...then we stood at this little ledge (for lack of a better word) where you could see the entire city! seriously, it was beautiful! And it was there that he kissed me for the first time. It was good. I don't know if any of you have ever anticipated kissing someone for a very long time, and you're so ready for it you're about to burst...and then when it finally happens it doesn't even seem real. It was kinda like that. Like, I would open my eyes and think "Oh, Eric? I totally forgot. That's not who I was expecting." But yeah, so that was cute.
Second date we went out for frozen yogurt, my treat. And Morgan was out of town this weekend, so I was kinda avoiding inviting him back to my dorm because I was pretty sure I knew what could happen, and I was unsure about whether or not I wanted that to happen. But eventually, I kinda had to invite him back because Golden Spoon was closing...
So we decide to watch Clerks II, and we are both laying on my bed (it was cute, I'm not gonna lie)...and then at one point he starts to readjust and move, and I was like "Oh, are you uncomfortable?" to which he replied "No, I just wanted to do this" and he kissed me. Cute! Anyway, things moved very quickly from there, and we ended up having sex. But it felt more like, excuse my french ladies, but it felt more like fucking. It wasn't romantic. I just felt objectified (is that the word you used, katie, when we were talking about it?). But yeah, it was okay...but not how I imagined it.
From then on out, I kinda wanted out. I didn't want to hurt him, and I still wanted to be his friend...I just realized that dating was not in our future. So then I started acting all awkward like, but finally, on Monday I told him that I thought he and I worked better as friends, but that I definitely still wanted to be friends. And he said he definitely still wanted to be friends, too.
So I think Eric and I would have been great 2 years ago, but we missed our time. Now is just not right, and I doubt there will ever be a time that is great for us. I have accepted a great friendship, but I am really glad we gave it a shot. And that is the story of Heather and Eric.
