Babygirl :)
So, I’m going to be going on a retreat (Kairos) for the next four days. Over that time period I shall not be allowed to use my phone. This is such a bummer. This means: I won’t be able to talk to my lovely girlfriend. I won’t be able to send her “good morning” texts like I always do. I won’t be able to ask her how her day is going or be there for her if she’s sad. All of this makes me pretty sad. I was talking to my friend, Rob, about that today & he said that he’s bummed about it too. He & his girlfriend will have their 18th month anniversary this Wednesday. Side note: Hats off to them. He’s a great dude, amazing athlete & an even smarter man. I wish the best to them & to their relationship. Anyways, back to my story, I was talking to my baby tonight & I just kept thinking about how I won’t be able to talk to her for three days. I don’t know how I’ll be able to survive that… I’m not used to not talking to her. We’ve been best friends for five years already & we’ve always never not talked. (If you can follow along with that). So, being the greatest boyfriend ever & having her on my mind 24/7/365, I decided earlier on before I left my house today that I was going to bring her flowers after I was done with my Kairos meeting at school. Because my school is about a forty minute drive away & her house is about a thirty minute drive away in the same direction, I thought that it would be in my best interest to drop off flowers at her house since I’d be close anyways. It took me like twenty minutes to get flowers for her because the stupid ShopRite didn’t have anyone managing the floral department & I had to wait mad long just to get her flowers wrapped up. Not to mention that it took me mad long to actually find her house because I was coming from a totally different place than I’m used to. I had to look up the directions on my phone & use the GPS so that I could assure myself that I wouldn’t get lost. I went through the most sketchy road ever, but I made it out alive. I was relieved once I saw familiar surroundings & then I knew that it was time to call her. Moments earlier, I had asked her what she was doing & her the same to me. I told her that I just left my school & that I was on my way home; her home, that is. *Nothing creepy here…* As I approached the driveway, I told her that I was making a quick pit stop & that I was going up some stairs. Little did she know that it was the stairs leading to her doorstep. Once she finally asked where I was or what I was doing, I told her to check outside her door to find out. There, I placed the bouquet of peach flowers. I was already a flight down the stairs when I interjected, “I love you !” to the woman of my dreams. I heard her cute little laugh as a response as she told me to come back up the stairs. She was dressed up so cute with her gigantic Giants sweatshirt over her. Welcoming me with a smile, hug & a kiss was what I was expecting & happy that I received :) She’s really the cutest thing. Her smile seemed so exuberant & from the look that was frozen in her eyes, I could tell that she liked the little surprise. Honestly, I’m just glad I got to see her. I’d do anything to make this woman happy. Literally. Anything. Unfortunately, I could only stay a couple of more seconds before I had to leave & go home. But, I will say, that those little moments before I left were very meaningful to me. I love having someone tell you that they love you first. It shows initiative & that person is putting their all out there, full-knowing that the other person can just shut them down. That shows courage. And, I love kissing my girlfriend. Teehee. I’m happy that I got to see her before I left on my retreat for four days. We’ve been having little arguments here & there, but we’re always getting through them together. Like they say in Marley & Me, “Mend not end.” And that is something that we both strongly believe in. I love you, babygirl. Like a lot, a lot <3
