I Ruined It!
Thursday, December 11th, 2008I love the feeling i get when I’m in a new relationship. I feel constantly giddy. Constantly. Learning new things about each, funny little inside jokes…it’s all just so, well, so cute.
Zack sent me a text on a Thursday asking me if I could get off work the next day or Monday. I didn’t really have much vacation, so I said no, probably not. He texts back with “Do you want to go to NYC for the weekend?” I thought to myself, yes, I would love to. He booked the tickets. We were to leave before the sun came up Saturday morning and would be back late, late Sunday night. So I drove down to New Orleans that Friday after work.
We had been dating for a month.
I get to his house; we’re cuddling on his sofa watching tv. By this point, I was totally into the guy. I thought he was the raddest person I had ever met. As we’re sitting there watching tv, he says “I love your eyes.”
I meant to reply with something off-the-wall, yet totally me like “I love your FACE!” (With emphasis on the word ‘face’.) Instead, I stupidly blurt out, “I love you!”
Pause. Silence for a few seconds….seemed like forever.
And he replied, “I was waiting until we got to the Brooklyn Bridge to tell you that!”
And I said nervously, “I ruined it?!?!”
The dilemma here? I’m so silly. Moments like that can’t be ruined- you can plan and plan and plan, but it will happen naturally, sometimes at the most random moments. And instead of saying “I love your FACE!”, you’ll say “I love you” instead.
I guess since he felt the same way, I wasn’t in too much of a dilemma, but I like this story. So it goes in my blog.
