• The Chronicles of the Love of My Life Part 1: How We Became 'Us'

  
  Prologue: I will be writing about the chronicles of the love of my life. I am not sure how many chronicles there will be, but I invite you to come on my journey with me as I share the most precious pieces of my heart. Some of the pieces will be light-hearted, silly, and sweet. Others will be dark, dramatic, and heart-breaking. Every detail of these chronicles are true, no fiction added.

  The real names of the people in this story have been changed to privacy reasons.

  I remember when things were so good that they were perfect. Perfect to us anyway. He came into my life as just some guy I made a smart-alec remark to. I put down his "pimp charade" and soon after he fell for me. At first we were just friends. He would call me every night around the same time and we would chat on yahoo messenger as well. He listened to me go on and on about my ex. Slowly, I stopped talking about my ex and it just became about my friendship with Eric. 

  I was on vacation in Florida when our friendship really blossomed. Since we talked

  for hours on the phone and computer we developed a strong bond. We talked about everything. He loved listening to me ramble on for hours about everything. I never understood why and I never will.

  

  When I came home from Florida, we started to spend more time together. One night he was at a friend's and asked me to come down. I hung out with him, a bunch of guys, poker, pizza, and beer. It was a great time. He won the poker game. A whole eight dollars to be exact. From there on we also started to spend a lot more time together. Eric took me around all his friends, and wanted to me to meet every single one of them and show me off. I really felt like a princess with him! Eric always made me feel on top of the world each and everyday.

  The way we became official is actually a bit funny. One night we were driving to Denny's around 11 pm and we were having some miscommunication issues and hearing issues as well. We were yelling at each other about something. All I remember is I thought he said, "It's not like you're my girlfriend." He thought I said, "No!" when he had actually said, "Don't you want to be my girlfriend?" and I had actually said, "I know!"

  Both of us being frazzled went back to his house and fell asleep. The next morning we woke up and we were talking the night before over. We realized we had misunderstood each other. So I told him, "If you ask me to be your girlfriend again I will say yes." So of course he said, "Will you be my girlfriend...again?"

  

  And I said  "YES."
