Six months ago… When you first screamed “Hi!” at me to get my attention, we’d be laying here together.
Who would have thought through our limited conversations about the people you were trying to push out of your life and the ones I had hoped to pull into mine we’d have arrived here? Then, it was so much about everyone else, our friends, our family, our work…
We worked together. Even though we flirted a bit, I never knew… Thinking back to all the times you would sit on my desk, the times you rubbed my back and neck, the times you just looked at me, smiled… On my break, “What are you bringing me back?” Always thought you were joking.
Who would have thought, today, you’d be watching me sleep and have stories of my Slumberland Adventures? My whispering, my moaning, my chuckling…
Who would have known, today, I would be so flattered by the stories about how I made you feel then? About the charge you got from being close to me, how deeply you were moved by the warmth of my breath on your neck or how you got chills from the dancing of my fingertips on your skin.
I remember the stories you would tell me about your new boyfriend and your friends approach to dating. I remember telling you about someone I couldn’t shake… I didn’t realize then you were trying to tell me how different you are to them. I never thought…
I never thought when I slipped you my number on the little yellow Post-it, you’d never call… Excuses… Then give me yours and start calling me every night, when you were sure I would be settled in the car, to talk about nothing, anything or everything.
Who would have thought I’d be coming out to see you? You watching for me in the window with your phone in hand… Running down the steps in your itty bitty shorts to open the door for me. Then the penny tour…
Who would have thought, that after all your talk, you would have blushed when we were too close with no one and nothing to keep us in check? I still giggle at you hiding your face in your hands.
Who knows how much further this will go? I know I enjoyed every second or every minute of the time I spent with you. I look forward to next time. Who would have thought we would be where we are today? I never did!
