EPTWe started talking Saturday morning and wound up talking until 11 that night. Sunday was the same deal. Monday… Tuesday... we just kept talking from the moment that I got home from class until I fell asleep on Skype talking to him. We talked about stuff we liked and stuff we hated. Just a lot of random things. I found out he liked trance, techno, Starcraft, video games; all of this stuff that I liked, too. It was really cool to find someone who had a lot of the similar interests. I found out that he was in the National Guard, too. I won’t lie, I was scared about that. I knew I was starting to like him but I also knew I never wanted to date someone in the military. It was a scary thought, dating someone who could possibly leave for months or even years on end. I decided to just see where it all went though.
Wednesday, March 3rd, he asked me out. I remember when it happened so well. I was eating with some friends and I got the text. He said “My friend told me I should ask you out”. I said ok. He then replied “Does that mean I should ask you?” I laughed and my friends who were still sitting with me ended up asking 100 questions about him already. *Sigh* I only have one girl friend and she is as girly as they come. XD
For the next couple of days, we just kept talking on Skype like we were before. Then about two weeks after he asked me out, we decided we should meet up again. I thought it was silly that we hadn’t actually been in the same room since the day we met. So we figured we would meet at the local library. I was waiting there maybe 15 minutes, playing on my computer, looking at the books. I was reaching for a book (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) when he walked in. He was wearing this big puffy jacket and he had just gotten his head shaved. He looked like such a but he was cute at the same time. I actually ended up laughing. Not at him
When he came in, we sat down and started playing some games on my computer while I had my going at the same time. A song came on that I loved (I don’t want to miss a thing) and I leaned over and kissed him. I guess it surprised him cause he didn’t kiss back right away. I sat back and blushed but then he smiled and said “Try that again.” So we kissed again, which was a lot better, haha. We ended up getting some ice cream after that and he walked me home. I got on Skype and waited for him. It was almost an hour later before he got back on. He had walked all the way to the library to see me and he still walked me home which was a good 15 minutes in the opposite direction of his house. It was dark, too.
About a week later, while we were watching Armageddon together over Skype, I fell asleep again. It was one of those sleeps where you’re still half awake but not really. That song came on again and he saw me smiling. Then he said... “I… think… I’m starting to fall for you.” And I said in my sleep I guess, “I love you too Jeremy”. The first time we said I love you and I was asleep, T_T
The next couple of months went by. There were weeks where he would have to go away for training. He told me he was deploying for a year before we started to date. Now I knew that I didn’t care. I told him, I wanted to be the girl that he had to come back too. Summer came and for the first time, I went to a water park. (My parents didn’t like them so I never got a chance to go) We went to movies and to the beach. We did a lot of stuff that I never got to do before. When Starcraft 2 came out, I helped buy him the Edition. :3 (I secretly just wanted the comic book ;D) I actually told him, too, that I didn’t expect to see him for at least a week. We started to go to some more LANs and I found out that I loved to run them. It was perfect, he loved to be in them and I loved to run them XP (I still run the NESC2League tournaments
)Before we knew it though, the summer was over and it was getting closer to the time for his deployment. He ended up having to go into the hospital for some surgery. He had a swollen lymph diode or something. (When he got out of surgery, he was all drugged up and he tried to grab my boob T_T) I was able to spend the night with him, sleeping on the couch. It was 2 weeks before he deployed. It was the first time I cried about it.
Because of his surgery, he was told that his deployment date would be pushed back about a week. So on the day he was supposed to go, we ended up spending the day together. We were sleeping on the couch when we got the call. Someone screwed up and that meant he had to leave today. We drove all the way to Concord. The last time I saw him, we kissed, I told him “Forever & Always, I’ll be waiting for you” and he told me “Forever & Always, I’ll be coming back to you”
The first month he was still in the states but we could only talk every now and then, but our main communication was letters. I sent him a couple of packages, one which was loaded with candy and Mountain Dew for Halloween. I sent him flash drives filled with anime and music. I originally sent him off with a 500gb hdd filled with movies too, so the anime was easily added to that. After the first month, he finally made it to Kuwait. He got stuck with the 9PM to the 9AM shift. You’d think that would suck, but because of it, he missed the heat and I got to talk to him every day. Since he is 8 hours ahead, the times lined up so that while he was at work, I was home from work. We were able to talk every single day. However if I wanted to talk to him on Skype, I had to wait for him to get back to his room. That meant that I would fall asleep at 11, and then get woken up by him calling me at 1 am. I actually got use to this wicked weird sleep pattern. So use to it in fact, that even though I know he can’t call, I still wake up at 1 >_<
We still have dates though. We would match up a movie over Skype and watch it together. I send him cookies (which end up still staying soft by the time they get there almost a week later <3) and other random stuff. Letters too, sometimes.
It can be hard sometimes. He is IT so he’s in a single room all day on base. So I don’t worry about him much. But not getting to actually feel him next to me in bed or not getting to kiss him, it kinda sucks. I get to sleep in his shirt though, until he comes back hates that
)This guy was the first guy to make me blush so often. He was the first guy to hear me sing some of my lullabies, to hear all my secrets, to bring me flowers, to open a door for me, to even pay for a date. He gives me butterflies and makes me smile just by talking to me. He’s just… so different then any other guy I’ve dated and sometimes it surprises me that I got him. He says he’s surprised that HE got ME… haha, always makes me laugh
Anyways, today is March 3rd again. It’s been 1 year since I said yes and became that person that he goes to when he has problems, the person he has waiting for him, his fellow nerd. It’s hard to shop for someone who is away and shop for something that is meaningful too (one of the reasons why I hate anniversaries and Valentine’s Day T_T) But since it is so hard to get him something at the moment, I decided to do this.
I Love you Adrenaline ^_^
