My life has never felt more amazing then it does now. Good friends, an incredible boyfriend, an equally great best friend, and a job that I love 99.9 percent of the time.
Andy and I had our first real date last night, here is the point where I gush about it.
The whole night felt wonderful from the second we left the house. Minutes earlier, I gave Andy
these beautiful flowers that had been sitting atop my dining room table. He blushed, babbling slightly, and then reached out to hug me close.
It still astounds me that he and I seem to fit so right together. Like we were made for another.
When we got to Valentino’s, and checked in, we were rushed off to the table I had reserved for us. It was off to the side, away from the crowds of people, and much more personal then the other places were. I wanted it to us be the two of us for the entire dinner. No fans, no nothing. Inside, I prayed for the night to turn out perfectly.
We spent a good hour or two at the restaurant, talking and eating. I ordered the favorite dish, and then told Andy to order whatever he wanted. Price didn’t bother me then. At one point in time, his hand and mine intertwined across the table, lightly yet firmly holding each other and there they stayed for most of the time.
Every time I looked into his eyes, they sparkled back at me with something I had never really seen before. I mean, I loved in my past relationships, but this was different. Again, it amazes me how much he cares.
After the dinner, we made our way to the Jazz Bakery. Passing by all the other tables, we spotted one in the perfect spot near the stage. He and I listened to countless songs until finally it happened. I had spoken with the manager earlier that day, asking if I could dedicate a song to Andy since I can’t sing worth beans.
Softly, a young woman to began to croon out the words to a song by Mary Pearson:
” In your arms as the day begins
Half asleep, nestled skin to skin
I see your lips smiling
And then I feel your soft and tender kiss
You'll be the song I'll sing
Evermore, I am sure
I'll spend my life with you
You light my nights and days
So happy here with you
Safe and warm in your arms
In your arms when the night is still
In your sleep, draw me closer
Till I touch your face gently
You speak my name, I'm there inside your dream
You are an angel sent me
Loving me boundlessly
Chorus
All of the love you show
Is more than I ever hoped to know
Chorus”
When the song was done, he leaned over and whispered softly in my ear. I love you so much. My heart swelled with emotion, so much I thought it might burst. I smiled softly, pressed my lips to his forehead, purring loving words to him.
Time progressed quickly, but I wished we could just stay there for eternity. Nestled close to each other, basking in love. But the Bakery had to close sometime. So we dragged ourselves back to my house, to spend the rest of the evening curled in each other’s arms.
Sheer heaven in his eyes. He’s the angel I prayed for. I thank god everyday for him.
So yes. I am a fucking happy undead vampire right now.
