Okay okay I guess I should try to CALM DOWN and tell you all what happened not even ten minutes ago before I forget!
Around 8:30 in the morning I awoke to the buzzing- albeit lightly buzzing vibration of my phone from a Skype call. Even as I think about it now, the memory flees from my mind so please stay with me if this is a bit jumbled. So I look at my phone because I thought it was odd for it to be buzzing for so long and wouldn't you know it was a Skype call from my SO. Theeeen... I missed it. -.- I was about to press the accept (green) button and it stopped. Being a little dramatic here but I think my heart kind of stopped. So I called him back, twice no answer, I texted him to tell him I called him back. He answered when? (See how dumb Skype is sometimes lol) Anywho, he opened the app and called me back this time I answered. We talked for a little bit, I don't remember much about it to be honest, I wish I did. >_<
Any who, not long after talking he said, "I wish you had wifi so we could Skype." (meaning a video call) That's when I told him I did have wifi at the house now. (Before when we were together, I didn't have wifif and could barely get any service.) So, naturally he switched right to video call. I warned him I didn't look so great as I had just woken up and I had had my hair up and to me it looked kinda ratty. But I guess to him it looked fine because as soon as I switched my camera on, he kind of gasped a little and I was like, "What?" and he said, "You're so gorgeous." It's like he was trying to make me blush! (Which, isn't hard- at all.) So he noticed a poster on my wall to which I said I would show him around, but my room isn't as well kempt as I would have liked it to be at that moment. However, that started an impromptu tour of his apartment at 7 in the morning. It was cute, he was so funny. He even showed me his truck (his baby) and his "collection" he made me promise not to tell anyone so I'll just say, it wasn't quite what I expected but it was nothing bad either simply showing his nerdy side. Which, I am perfectly okay with. Then I showed him all the posters on my wall so I didn't have to show him the mess on the floor lol
So after that he showed me some pictures of his work "baby" or his LAVW (I think that's how you spell it..that or LAUVW oh well) and a picture of him washing it a picture of him at work the other day and a picture of him and his best friend. His best friend is a lifesaver- literally. Which in my book, I owe him a lot for saving my SO. Hopefully I get to meet him when I go over there I would enjoy shaking his hand.
I told my SO that I got my passport photo and - keep in mind he is going on three days pretty much with little to no sleep or in his words he is "eight different kinds of bat shit crazy" - he showed me his military ID picture, civilian passport photo, his license for security photo pretty much everything with an embarrassing picture on it that he could get his hands on at the time. We laughed for a while about it all.
Then he asked me, "Are you really gonna try to come up here?" To which I replied, "Well, Yeah!" He smiled and stared at me and then he told me that he was hopefully gonna have some leave from late March to mid-April and that him and his buddy (I forget his name, but it was the one in the picture) were thinking about taking a road trip sometime and how would I feel about him trying to make it down here. I was astonished/speechless just about every emotion of happiness and shock that there is. I didn't really know what to say, I told him that I would probably cry. To which he responded "Don't cry cause if you cry I'm gonna cry." Then it was a few seconds of just smiling and not really saying anything that he asked, "You're really nervous about this aren't you?" I smiled and told him that indeed I was. He asked why, and I told him, "Because, you know what if you get here and you don't like me ya know? What if I wasn't worth the trip down?" To which he replied, " [insert my name here] I love you. I have loved you for a very long time and I promise you you are worth the trip down." To which I blushed and smiled like what I felt was a maniac and he just stared at me, with those eyes. The look in them, I wonder if he sees the same look in mine every time I look at him.
At some point or another he told me that when he meets me he is going to give me the most romantic kiss ever, to which I just had had to reply, "The only kiss ever" (or the first kiss ever, I don't quite remember to be honest.) He looked somewhat shocked and said, "Aw you can't just tell that to a guy!" He said something about how now the pressure was on him. I thought that was cute. I asked why and he said "Well you've watched all the romcoms and girly movies and stuff." Then mentioned something about how it barely gives a guy a chance. I told him not to worry. (From what I've heard the first kiss for most people is sloppy and just... not that great.) So because of that, I don't have too high of an expectation for it so I'm sure it'll be perfect- or rather perfectly imperfect.
Oh, and by this time he's already switched from driving to flying after seeing how long he'd have to drive for. (about a day and a half) The idea was nice though. He also told me he can't make a promise to be there especially when the army is so demanding but that he'll pull all the favors and try as hard as he can to get down here. Honestly, it's
I'm sorry this is so long guys, really I am, but I am also ecstatic that perhaps in a measly two weeks I can finally meet the man I love.
So, that's all I can remember for now- curse my absolutely horrid memory. Times like these I wish I could record everything. If I remember anything, I'll edit, and put the edit in bold lettering.
That's great! I think you deserved some good news! I'm very happy for you! I hope you will consider sharing what it was like to meet for the first time too afterwards! Anyways, congrats!!
