He Still Loved Me After I Ate His Peanut Butter Cupcake
My Really Outstanding Boyfriend has this insane obsession with peanut butter. If he doesn't have it for more than a day, he gets these cravings for it. He puts it in cookie batter, oatmeal, celery, pancakes, cake mix, on toast, and pretty much anything he can imagine it will taste good on.
I was on my way to his apartment last week and wanted to surprise him with a large peanut butter cupcake. We were at Crumbs the week before and he was really disappointed that they didn't have any peanut butter cupcakes for sale at the moment, so I wanted to be responsible for his first peanut butter cupcake encounter.
While I was at the bakery, I also bought him a shortbread cookie decorated with the Mets logo (don't hate!) since it's his favorite baseball team. It was late and I had eaten an extremely early dinner. My stomach was growling. I was riding the Subway, trying to read Great Expectations, but really thinking about how I would survive the 45 minute ride to his apartment without sin. Yes, he would liken eating this peanut buttery treat to sin, even if it wasn't in his possession yet.
I couldn't resist... I pulled both the cookie and cupcake out of the bag and thought, "which is prettier?" The Mets cookie looked more intricate, so I put that bag in the bag. I opened up the container to the peanut butter cupcake and took a shameless bite. It was unbelievably delicious. And then I felt bad that his cupcake had a large part missing from it.
I got to his doorstep and went up to his room, telling him I had a surprise for him. I pulled out the cookie (with which he was impressed) first and then the incomplete cupcake.
"SORRY. I was so hungry!"
He looked at the cupcake, eying what was left of the peanut butter icing intently and said, "that's okay! You would take a bite out of my surprise cupcake," laughing at my lack of self-control.
"Actually... I'm starving. Can I take another bite?" I asked him.
I saw the look of pain on his face. He felt a little part of him melt away. "Sure..."
Nomnomnom. I took another big bite because it was so damn delicious.
"NOOO. NOT THE ICING. LEAVE THE ICING. GIVE ME THAT!" he yelled playfully, trying to grab at it. He was craving his peanut butter fix and I was teasing him by eating what he loves most. Bad girlfriend ;(
I must have looked really hungry because he then said (with a dramatic sigh), "you can have it if you want it. There will be more peanut butter cupcakes to come..."
He's got lots of love for me if he will surrender something peanut-buttery to me. We shared the rest of it, even though I had devoured more than half already.
On a more serious note, some other ways I know my R.O.B. loves me:
- He stayed an entire weekend with me when I had a 103 degree fever, couldn't talk, and had a severe respiratory infection. I tried to stick out my sickness during this particular school week because I had an exam, and was only going to leave my dorm to go to that one class. My roommate had gone home for the weekend, and without asking to, he texted me saying he was coming over. He helped me sit up and eat (I was that weak) and bought me soup, staying with me for three nights. I was coughing violently, and each time I woke up from a coughing fit he rubbed my back a little bit and wiped my face with a wet towel.- He lets me wipe my face all over his shirt sleeve after I'm upset. My university is made up of five different campuses and you take buses around if you want to go from campus to campus. I was really upset one night and he made the trek to my campus from his to comfort me. I was wailing in the laundry room so no one in my dorm would hear me, and there are no tissues around... so he let me cry all over his t-shirt and wiped my nose with his sleeve. It was such a Garden State moment.
And one more silly food related reason:
- He doesn't get mad when I eat the last pancake at breakfast. I'm not really a morning person, and when I'm exhausted from doing work all night at school I just don't want to get up. My R.O.B. is diligent with his morning routine--gets up, goes for a run, showers, and then makes breakfast. Every morning he asks me to come help him make pancakes and I always mutter "I will" before dozing off to sleep. He'll text me, try to call me, and come back into the room multiple times and I still won't wake up. When I finally get to the kitchen, I dig in with gusto. He laughs at how much I can eat, and tells me I can have the last pancake if I really want it.
What are some things that make you realize how much your SO loves you?

Whenever I have a hard time getting to sleep, even when he's already dozing, he will get up, grab his guitar and sing me jack johnson songs until i drift off. I love that man.
no wonder you mentioned peanut butter in your previous post about food and sex. now he can get even by smearing peanut butter on you and then eat it
these little things are the best :) <3 my ROB would always offer me the last piece of food, or the biggest piece first
He keeps a chocolate bar in the windowsill by his bed for when I am over and get a middle of the night craving. He took care of me when I had a tummy bug and no one else would get within 10 yards of me, he stayed with my while I threw up. He writes me little notes, and calls me his sweet stuff. The first thing he says to me on the days we wake up together is "Good morning, beautiful". And when he talks about HIS future he often uses the term "us"
thats so sweet! lucky girl. =)
@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - LOL he actually said he didn't want to use peanut butter (GASP) because it was too sticky. We actually tried whip cream earlier thanks to all the comments on my food and sex post and... I actually wasn't that excited by it. Hahaha. Meh!
@HemptressDecember@xanga - Adorable! I love Jack Johnson!!!
@UNTYP1CAL@xanga - Food <3 can't go wrong there ;) and yes the little things make me so happy.
@ccccourage@xanga - :) :) :) glad we have R.O.B.s that don't mind being near us when we're sick!
the sleeve thing is too cute. your R.O.B. seems pretty nice :)
aw, he sounds so awesome.
He would drive 40 minutes from his place to mine just to see me for a while because he's been away on assignment "since forever". Even when I got very sick, lost my voice and looked like a zombie, he still wanted to come see me. He gives even my most mundane interests a go (he says he wants to learn to knit from me next!). He wants to see me as often as we can both make it. And he became more punctual when I told him how my having OCD means I can get pretty frustrated when things and people are not on time. But most of all, it's just all the little things he does so thoughtfully and generously, that make me know just how much I'm loved.
before we were even officially going out, i broke my foot and he came via 1hr public transport to mine to cook for me and look after me :D and if im completely wasted after a night out, he would hold my hair back as i throw up in the toilet, shower me, then put me to bed with no complaints. hehehe sweetest guy ever :)
uh, what's R.O.B? and u seem to mention food a lot lol
Oh dear goodness, I want that cupcake.
I knew he loved me when I was sick and too weak get up to take a shower. He carried me to the bathroom and helped me take a shower and washed my hair... I've never felt so cared about before.
I don't know if this was supposed to be cute or not, but I'd be pretty upset if my girlfriend ate something of mine that I didn't give to her. I'm very possessive.
I know my girlfriend will stay up for me all hours of the night and listen to me when I have a bad day. She also came all the way out to Boston to watch me run a marathon even though she had a paper to write and an exam. Its true love to give someone a hug after running for 3 hours! =)
Plus, a girlfriend who would surpise her ROB with a cupcake that great deserves the best!
LOL this was a very cute story
@Chibi_Son_Gokou@xanga - At least I didn't eat ALL of it. And I also had a cookie as a back up ;)
This is so cute. You got a winner there, as you know :P
...Damn that cupcake looks yummy...
D'Awwwwww! so cute :)
reminds me of the things I did.
Now I wish I have a new gf to do these things with...
This is adooorable.
I SERIOUSLY DOUBT SOMEONE WOULD DUMP THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHER FOR FOOD.... if they do, there is already something horribly wrong with the relationship....
@gulynes - Hmm, I kissed my R.O.B. after he was hot and smelly and sweaty after a race. Would your girlfriend do that?!
@xxx_MYLiFE@xanga - Really Outstanding Boyfriend. It also gives away his name. :P And what can I say, I've got food on my mind lately. I'm moving back to my college city where there is literally 200+ restaurants within a 5 mile radius! It was bound to permeate intomy posts as well.
@animechrisy@xanga - It WAS. I couldn't help myself, haha.
@stanlee255@xanga - Awwww, in due time :)
you are a ROG :)
Holy shit, who gave you access to the Internet? Jesus. No one fucking cares.
hmm i once met a girl i wanted to do these kinds of things for. and i knew she wanted it too (she hinted at it a lot). but when i asked her explicitly, she said no. fortunately, i have not found myself in such a position since then.
nevertheless, this post brings up negative memories.
@wien7@xanga - LOL. i laughed really hard at that. you're a dick.
