Another Chance
As predicted, I gave OB another chance. I felt like he deserved it, like the mistakes he made (repeatedly) were just that: mistakes.
He had to go back to work, which was far away, though not Job Offer far away. He popped into my work to say goodbye, and I genuinely had a lump in my throat. The past few days have been lovely, and I actually think I might miss him.
Now that things are open and honest and out on the table (hopefully,) it feels like we have no further obstacles.
Well, apart from the distance, of course.
He told me that he was “hooked” on me. I don’t really know what that means, but I’ll take it. I think I’m kinda “hooked” on him too now. Awkward secrets out the way, we’ve discovered that our senses of humour are similar, as are our personalities, film preferences, music choices, and even food. I’ve laughed a lot, even to the point of tears streaming down my face.
We work well in the bedroom. Well, we do now. There’s still that no-coming threat looming every time we have sex, but things have been smooth sailing for a while.
*touches wood everywhere*
Everything feels very natural around OB now. I can’t deny that he’s a confidence boost for me, too. The constant compliments are almost too much, but again, I’ll take it.
It’s taken a couple of months, but we’ve finally settled into something that works well for us both.
I’m showing all the symptoms of falling for him: checking my phone every five minutes, checking to see when he was last online, running straight to my phone when it beeps, hoping it’s his name, being sorely disappointed when it isn’t…
I’ve even started cancelling plans for around the time I know he’ll be free to talk to me. I think I’ve got it bad. Baaaaaaad. The baddest. So bad that we’ve made plans for me to go see him at his military base, and I can barely contain myself.
What’s the worst that can happen if I give it a proper shot? I’ll get my heart broken again? Shocker. I break my own heart every week anyway. Haven’t I always lived to tell the tale?
Famous last words, right?
Fuck it, it’s done now.
I think I’m in a relationship, folks. A proper one.
