I was just looking back on some things when I found this.
I think it's funny that I ended up falling madly in love with "his friend." January first, it will be seven months. And... Turns out, Mike liked me since the very beginning. Oh, and he was the one who actually paid for me to get into that show.
I remember the first time that I thought Mike might like me... We were at the Waffle Shoppe... I had met Eric earlier at Archie's, but he had to work the next morning, so he retired early. Mike and I walked over there, and I decided that he'd probably be the best person to confide in. I told him that I didn't really like Eric, but I didn't know how to break it to him.
Mike asked me what I looked for or what I liked in a guy. I started listing stuff that I didn't like, and he said, "No... I'm sorry, maybe you misunderstood me... What do you
like in a guy?" And I remember thinking
You. I like you. I like everything about you. But there was no way I could tell him at that point.
A month or so later, we were in Wilmington on our first real date... It was all uncomfortable and stuff, because it was my first real date period... We were standing by the riverfront, looking at people and boats and stuff... There was this mini-awkward silence... And that's when I told him about that night and how I had wanted so badly to tell him that he was what I liked.
It was all sweet and romantic and stuff.
And here we are, seven months later, happy as I could have ever hoped for...
All I can say is, "Thank you, Mountain Man."
