Applause for the Wallflower

Winona told me it would take time for him to come full circle, and finally he did. To be quite honest, I wasn't thinking it would be this soon. On Thursday was pretty much when this all started. Myles surprised me with a bunch of roses and all these cute little light up plastics ducks in my car. Friday, he surprised me again by coming to the football game with his sister Chelsea whom I've become quite close to. On Friday night outside of Fuddruckers, he held me in his arms like he used to and kept repeating that he loved me, calling me baby a few times (once is a fluke, twice is an accident, three times is intention). I talked to him through text all day yesterday. And at night, I told him what had happened with Alex, a person I should dedicate an entry to by himself. In any case, I told him what I'd done... I didn't really have to explain circumstances, one because I don't think he would have wanted me to, and two, I think he probably already knew. Either way, the rest of the night was pretty quiet... And today...when I saw him at church, he'd greeted me by my car, as he pulled in the parking lot just after me. He pulled me in tight and, because I moved my head, kissed my cheek. Realizing what he'd meant to do, I moved it back and kissed him softly where it hit me the most. After church, I went home to take a nap and woke up the buzzing of my text messages. He asked me if I wanted to go out for ice cream or something cold for my throat. When I met him, I got into his car, hugged him tight and kissed him unsurely. I told myself on Thursday night that I wouldn't read into anything from that point on. Everything he did for me was just because he was a nice guy, because he was my best friend. I made it a point to keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, and it almost did. A couple minutes into me sitting opposite him, he looked at me in the eyes and told me he wanted to talk to about something. Automatically my face fell just because I didn't know what he was going to say. He explained to me how he couldn't live without me...how he's talked to me everyday and finds himself wanting to keep me around...and the fact that I'd told him about Alex and he still loved me was another thing he'd taken into consideration.

All in all, the gist of the story is that we're together now. I would have waited forever if I needed to, but I didn't. "We're perfect. Let's show everyone else we are." I agree.
