It takes two....
Well as the last update wasn't enough, here goes:
This might be a bit fragmented and I may have forgotten some of it but's it's as accurate as I can remember, so enjoy. As you all know on my previous to last update "we kissed".
Well the following week we went on a proper date. I met her with a huge bouquet of flowers which she loved. Emilia (Emi for short) wanted to visit the castles and such-like of Scotland. So we went to Dunnotar Castle near Stonehaven. It was a lovely day and I was so scared and yet so excited at the thought of spending another day with Emi. So after we drove there, we walked to the castle, and she grabbed my hand to hold as we walked down the path. We explored the castle, a little kiss here and there and it was seeming more and more like we were an item. And then we went for a walk along the coast, down from the castle and there we sat, atop a cliff watching the sea and the wildlife and we kissed properly. And thats when we became a couple in my eyes (but not in hers yet). After the castle we went into Stonehaven, had some tea and cakes and then drove to Aberdeen. There we went for a walk on the beach, before heading into the town for dinner at a Chinese Restaurant called Sam's, which was absolutely gorgeous. And then another walk on the beach before I took her home.
So after this everyone at work was asking me for gossip, which I didn't give. They got the basics and that was that. Plus only being able to see her on weekends was a major downer for me. And the fact it was a 2hr drive to her house. But we talked on the phone, on skype and via email and decided that the next week, she'd come and stay in Elgin with me.
I drove down to pick her up, and then drove straight back to Elgin. Nothing like a 4hr round trip! So we got to Elgin, went and visited the Cathedral, which is where the picture you all saw on AmTam was taken. I showed her around Elgin and then we went for a meal at a lovely Italian/Seafood Restaurant in Lossiemouth. We spent the rest of the evening at mine. And she used my skype to talk to her sister, and now I admit I love her doing that as I love to hear her speak Polish! We then went to bed, yes we shared my bed but no we didn't, I wasn't ready yet. And the next day we went to the beach at Lossie as it rained most of the day so we couldn't really go out and then I drove her home that night and gave her my teddy to sleep with to remind her of me.
And so this was how the next 2 weekends were spent. I'd drive down on the saturday, pick her up. Drive her back to Elgin, we'd go visit some tourist places. She'd stay the night and then we'd go off again on the sunday and then I would drive her home at night. And it was the 3rd weekend which I surprised her with a teddy which i'd bought for her.
Now it was on about the 3rd weekend together we slept together. I felt ready, especially after nearly 3 years of self-imposed celibacy. Possibly too much information but vital information for later. Yes we used contraception, so don't worry.....yet.
On the 4th week my Parents surprised me by coming up to visit for a week and they met Emi, and in the short time they met her, they told me they thought she was beautiful, looked mature and intelligent and was a 1000 times better than Leanne. Thank God. And during the actual week I went and took a car for a test drive, and then placed my order for one. A Ford Focus ST. A £500 non-refundable deposit and I'm now sat on a waiting list for one. It's gonna cost a third of my wage to buy and insure every month but I'm happy......
On the 5th week she had to work on the saturday so I only got to see her for a few hours on the sunday. So a walk on the beach, dinner at a Mexican Restaurant and then to the cinema. It was nice and even though it was only a few hours. They were wonderful hours. It was about here I did start to really care for Emi.
Now last weekend was the 6th weekend. She had the weekend off so I picked her up as usual on the saturday, we went visiting places, she stayed at mine. More visiting places on the sunday then driving her home.
And then came the text message on Tuesday night. The one where Emi told me her period was late. And now here I am. Not sure if she's gonna do a test before I see her on sunday, so by sunday I will know. Am I going to be a Dad, or am I still waiting. Do I have to cancel buying the sporty car or can I keep it. Do I carry on living like I am, or do I have to become more mature and be a Parent. Right now I do not know. I do know we used contraception. I do know Emi is Catholic so abortions are not a choice for her. And not a choice for me either. So this one test will deliver my life to me. Whatever happens, and as long as she wants, I will stand by her, no matter what her choice. It takes two to tango.
It takes two....
...to make it into a three.
Dad....
....or not.
Only time will tell.....
So I apologise for being 'away'. I wasn't actually away, I was just floating on air over this really awesome girl, here's another pic of her for you:
