I'm Starting to Love Parks


And I'm not even kidding about the title. Recently, parks are where it's been happening. Last Saturday, I went and hung out with Chris in a park near Belmar. And that was amazing. I'm not even sure if I blogged that. If I haven't, here's what happened. We had to leave our electronics in a safe place, because we didn't want the water to get to them.We waded up and down a stream for a good few hours, and then we went and hung out at Belmar. Wading up and down the stream was the best part. He held my hand practically the entire time, and had to catch me a few times. It was amazing, and so beats dinner and a movie. Then we visited an asian market, and got a few things there. Then we went and sat on a tire swing at a playground near where he used to live. It was nice too. It was dusk, which means that the lighting was ghostly, but at the same time, it was perfect. Yay for parks!
And today...
We hung out in another park, but one closer to where I live. And today, that's when everything clicked into place. We were having fun, we had sat by a stream on another side of the park and played the pocky game...And the pocky game...well let's just say, IT'S EMBARRASSING! One person holds one end of the pocky in their teeth, and then you both try to eat the pocky. And the first one to pull away loses. I always lose. LOL. Then we crossed into another part of the park, and sat by another stream. He asked what was on my mind. And what was on my mind at the time was that I wanted to kiss him, but I was scared. I was scared that he'd pull away and that by kissing him I'd wreck everything. When I told him that (after five minutes of attempting to stutter it out), he just held me. When he did let me go, he went wading in the stream and sat on a rock a little further up, at a drop in the stream where the water flowed over like a waterfall. He motioned for me to come join him, and I did. The water was cold, but it was worth it. I sat next to him, and he took off my glasses. I asked him why, and he said that he thought it was obvious. And with me being 100% dense, well, it took me a while. And when I did get it, I was almost scared to even hope. But he kissed me. He actually kissed me. We were sitting there, in the water, and he was holding me and kissing me. When we pulled away, he smiled, and said, “I guess this means that we're dating.” And my heart just fluttered at that. I was so ungodly happy that it should be illegal. Because even then I'd do it to break the rules. He then pulled me onto his lap, and proceeded to pretend to drop me in the water, which didn't work, since I clung to him with everything I had. In my defense, that water was FREEZING. And he kept kissing me. To be honest, most of what we did in the park was kiss. And he had me chase him, which made me realize that I had no stamina... But, when we did talk, I knew that he was worried. He was worried about hurting me, and pushing me too far. But the thing is, it's because he's worried about it that I know it won't happen. I trust him. If I tell him that it's going too far, I know that he'll respect that. I promised him that I would tell him when to stop. And I will. After the park, we sort of just walked around, until we found another stream. :) Then we picked up sakura petals and tossed them in and watched them float. While we were down there, we were in between buildings and a construction site. The hilarious part of this was the security guard. He asked if one of the cars was ours, and we said no. And then he said,
“Just behave. Okay.”
And that just made me laugh. Chris too. It was funny because we are the last people that would be doing that, in that place. Sure we definitely kissed <3, but we're still new, and that won't happen for QUITE a while yet.
Chris and I are going to wait to tell everyone about us for about a week-ish. And there are very good reasons for it. I've liked him for two years, and so I'm delighted that we're together now. See, the thing is...He's one of the panelists who is deciding whether or not I'm traveling this summer... So yeah, awkward accusations could ensue. So, we're waiting until after everything. But I made him promise me to make the right decision, the unbiased one, the moral one. So I know that he isn't picking favorites. I made him promise me that 100%, because it wouldn't be fair otherwise. And I know he will, because he is one of the most amazing people I've ever met, and I know that he can. I know that he was worried about it, which shows that he will make the best decision on who gets to travel. And honestly, if I don't travel again, I'll be okay. I've traveled once already, and so if I don't go, and someone who hasn't traveled yet does, I'm okay with that. Everyone should have a chance to travel. And if that means that I don't go, so be it.
So yeah, that was today.
I'm so in love with Chris that it makes me blush upon thought of it. He makes me feel complete in a sense. I'm not going to let this go, to let him go like I have all the other guys I've liked. If he tells me to leave, then I will. But until then, I love him, and I want to be able to show him that. If he'll allow me to. And I think that he will. Because he likes me too. <3
I'm walking on clouds and sipping sunshine right now. lol
