A story for you!
So V-day was good. I stole Ry's car this morning and went to pick up APalie and we did the girl thing. In other words, there was shopping to be done. basically, i had to buy something awesome for my dinner date tonight and I had to somehow convince her to buy something nice even though she didn't have a date because I knew that she would have a date. Yes, that's right guys, Stephie strikes again....read on...
So I kept being like "AP, you gotta buy this. You look SO great and you will feel better if you buy something and dude it's not like you'll never wear it, your boyfriend has class osmetimes." And it took forever, but she finally bought this really terrific top to wear with black pants and i was like whoa you sexy, just like that i was. And I got this great pink/black dress, y'know those like 50s style dresses with the big hoopy skirt and they're short and stuff? yeah, i got a black one with hot pink stuff on it and it's SO cute and I knew it was a little cold to wear a dress, but the price of looking cute is high!
So then AP and I go back to Ry's, we pick him up, and we went to see Miracle...they were all stoked because the Broadmoor is in it, and that one dude is hot is a great actor. I liked it...definitely a pump it up athletes movie. Anyway, we try to convince AP to go out to dinner with us but of course she won't and we knew she wouldn't, it was all in the plan. So we take her back to Ry's house, saying that Ry and I might as well get dressed up because her house is on the way to dinner, then take her home on the way. right? with me so far? because this gets good.
So we get dressed up. I convince AP to change into her new top, so she's wearing it with jeans and I'm like, "I wanna take cute photos of us all cute." So we both do our hair and put on makeup and of course Ry is playing video games, waiting for us...then we go to her house, drop her off...everything is normal, her mom's there to say hi...we leave Ry chatting with her mom and I head upstairs with her. I don't even remember why, I think I said we had extra time before dinner reservations or something. Then the fun started.
She's upset. I'm trying to keep her from crying and freaking out, but she's upset. This isn't in the plan. But she has every reason to be upset, she feels like crap and her boyfriend can't make it and she's not mad at him, just mad at all the circumstances that keep them apart on v-day again, and she's tired of trying so hard to be positive when sometimes things just plain suck. And I have to get her dressed up at this point? Yeah right, we're both crying now! In the end, it worked out. I got her to agree to go out to dinner with us, me and Ry. Promised her that we'd much rather share V-Day with her than have her spend it alone, promised her that i wanted her to be my valentine just as much as i wanted ry to, etc etc etc. So she got dressed up. Wore the new top, the black pants, I helped her pin her hair up, add earrings and a cute purse...all set. We go down the stairs, first me, apologizing to Ry for taking a long time, she's behind me, STILL asking if we're SURE we don't mind, you can picture this?
And then we get to the bottom of the stairs and it happens. Aaron. All dressed up, holding 2 roses, one for each v-day they've spent together, walks around the corner from the dining room and AP's jaw just FALLS OPEN. And then she lunges at him and they have this great hugging kissing scene and of course I don't want to be left out of that so I leap at Ry and knock him over. lol. Guess he wasn't expecting that.
So she did go out for dinner with us. Except instead of being a double date minus one, it was a real double date and we all had an awesome time. Afterward, we dropped AP & AP at her house and I went back to Ry's with him.
I gave him his presents - that Max Payne 2 video game, and 2 DVDs - terminator 3 and out of time...and he gave me mine. y'know, after I read my friends page, I *really* think that the Rys were sharing ideas?
But this totally floored me. An envelope. I'm thinking "What the crap, ain't i supposed to get jewelry?" Haha, kidding. ok, not kidding, i really did think that for like 3 seconds but then i stopped that. So i open the envelope, it's a card. That's all. No giftcard even, just a card. But then I read the card...
2 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 kitchen/dining room, full bathroom. Plenty of closet space for all your shoes. Conveniently located 2 buildings over from me. If you want it...the deposit is on me.
And for a kiss, I'll throw in a bonus - a coaching job at the Broadmoor. I already had Tom talk to his boss. We'll have an opening starting in June.
And I freaked. HE FOUND ME AN APARTMENT. That was like the ONE thing about moving to CO that scared me the most. I could leave my family, my friends, find a new job, even cook my own dinner, but finding an apartment? negoshiating a lease? that freaked me out. And he did it all. I just have to go over there and sign the paper and let them know when i'm moving in. And it's 2 bedrooms, 1 for AP and 1 for me. She's moving in, even if she has to sleep at home every once in a while so her mom dodesn't think she's really moved out, lol.
this is all so surreal. a job, too. Coaching. Not answering phones. although ry says that if i have my heart set on being phonegirl, he'd make it happen. I don't know, I'm just so FLOORED. This is really going to happen...gosh i love him. :D
so happy v-day everyone! i'm thinking that there's this guy i'm sitting on and he wants more of my attention than he's getting. love you all!
Forever,
