Sometimes it takes almost losing someone to understand just how amazing they are. Well, seeming as how I've almost lost Rey a couple of times now, I think it's pretty safe to say I get it. He's a keeper. This is a forever sorta thing we've got going here. And I'll be damned if I'm ever gonna be stupid enough to screw it up again. A lot of men, if they were put in his position, would have left me high and dry. And I'll be the first one to admit that I would've deserved it. But Rey didn't leave. He's still here. And he's gonna be here indefinitely if I have anything to say about it.
The conversation we had to have last night wasn't always pleasant but it was long overdue. I think we both understand each other better now. And really, all couples will have these things. Ups and downs come and go. It's how you handle them that says the most about a relationship. ...and suddenly I feel like I'm copying word for word one of Dawn Marie's entry. Irony at it's best.
So anyway, it looks like my house in Texas is about to get a whole lot less lonely. Rey really only keeps his apartment in San Diego so Dom and Ally will have someplace close to home to visit him. And he'll still do that. But one of the things that came to the surface in our conversation last night was that we both really want to live together. Rey hadn't asked because he didn't want to push me. And I hadn't said anything because I was worried that he'd turn me down. Now that we have that out of the way, he's gonna start having his stuff shipped to the house. I'm so totally excited about this. Ever since the first time I went there with Shawn, I felt like it was way too big for just me and Tasha. Now I have someone to share all the space with. Someone I love.
I so want to make this work. In the worst way. I want this to be my happy ending.
