Taken By Surprise
So I went with Eric's mom and Mrs. Little to Jacksonville last Sunday for the day, and then went to pick Eric up at the airport that night. I spent every moment I could with him this past week.
Wednesday I told him that I love him. It's a really strange, sad, funny, happy story...to make it short: I wrote it on my hand, eric didn't respond at first, and I completely thought I had fucked up and he didn't feel the same way and I almost threw myself out of the car. Eventually when he saw that I was doing everything I could to keep from crying, he told me he loved me in the cutest way possible and fixed the whole misunderstanding.
Friday night we went on a real date for the first time since February 14th. He showed up at my door with roses and a smile, and I was in heaven the whole night. We went to Andrew's 228, then to Black Dog where he played piano (which I think is sexy) and then he held my shoes while we walked around Lake Ella. Then we went back to his house and watched a movie. *cough*
Saturday we ate dinner with his parents at Outback, which was where my professor and my brother with all his friends were. Cameron ended up right next to us. It was crazy. Then we went back to his empty room and enjoyed being together on our last night...
When it came to the goodbye, I couldn't leave. We were just gonna sort of be friends-ish because he didn't want to do the long-distance thing again and neither did I, and we didn't want to keep each other from enjoying college and everything. But when I looked into his eyes and saw everything I had been waiting for for so long....the cure for all my pain, the laughter and the love that makes me feel like I'm invincible....I just couldn't leave him. I was sobbing and I saw tears run donw his face and I told him that we had to be together or I couldn't leave. He is everything I could ever want or need, and giving him up could be the dumbest thing I could ever do in my life.
Eric left yesterday morning for North Carolina State University.
We are still together.
We are still in love.
(I love you, baby.)
