Between mid-April and the end of May we talked a
LOT. I wish I could go back and screen
shot the Facebook comments we made. At
the same time, I’m really glad I can’t. He turned me into a sappy chick. Blech!
We wrote song lyrics and inside jokes. It was so obvious we were more than just
friends. So that “competition” I’d been
paying attention to a few months before was losing terribly. The other guys I was talking to were getting
far fewer phone calls. I got a few inbox messages asking if Penny and I were
together. Since we’d not had that
conversation, we weren’t. I don’t believe in putting myself into a relationship
that the other party has not agreed to.
That’s how girls get caught up and confused. Hell, I’d been caught up and confused. We
were something, but it was not together. I loved being in the high of a new,
exciting relationship. He was incredibly loving for everyone to see. I hadn’t
had that type of attention in a while.
The weekend of Mother’s Day I planned to go to Watertown
to see Boo Thang. I got up there and had issues renting the car so I was stranded
in the Syracuse airport for 6 hours until he got off work, rented a car, and
came to get me. I was really upset. But
he didn’t make a fuss about it. Just told me to calm down and he’d get there as
soon as he could. I guess he was my knight again.
The weekend was great. There’s not much to do in
Watertown or any of upstate NY really. Being there and spending time with him
was enough. It was like a 2 day first
date. We shared a lot about ourselves, family, goals, past relationships. It was weird to talk about his past
relationships and realize how many of these chicks I knew, but I guess that’s
what happens when you date someone you went to undergrad with. I only talked to
3 guys in Starkville so I don’t think he had the same weird experience. We talked
about the rumors we’d heard about each other and ourselves at MSU. He told me one of his friends had informed him that she knew for a fact I'd slept with one of my friends in undergrad. For one thing you know nothing for fact unless you were there....which I assure you she wasn't, because it never happened. I still laugh at some of that stuff, but that’s
a completely different blog. I fully
appreciated the openness. At this time I
found out about my ‘competition.’ I use the term loosely because after all, I
was there and she was not. He’d really
liked this girl and had been talking to her for a while (since before he and
the ex broke up). She’d turned him down as far as being in a relationship but
he still had feelings for her. Hm. Ok. So I have to deal with residual feelings
for the ex and now this chick too…I can handle this. I didn’t let it bother me.
We had a great time exploring that little town anyway.
