The latest

The night before I left for vacation, J and I had our "talk". I let him know that I had been unsure of where things were going with us and that I wanted to have closure with the ex before moving into a relationship with him. So I told him that everything was settled with the ex, that it was definitely over and I was ready to make a commitment to him. He was very understanding and said that he knew something was holding me back and he just hoped that I would choose him. I knew that things were getting serious when I left for vacation and I felt the need to call him that very night. I was used to talking to him every day now and try as I might, I couldn't keep myself from calling. When he answered, he was relieved because he was wanting to talk too, but was respecting my space and time with my family. My head finally caught up with my heart at the moment I saw him waiting for me at the airport, roses in hand (of course he remembers my favorite) and his face lit up upon my arrival. I think we are a good balance for each other. It's almost the cliche of opposites attracting. Where he is calm and easy going, I am stressed out and restless. He wears his heart on his sleeve and I guard mine from anyone getting too close. He walks around with me as if he is the luckiest guy in the room and I have to admit, no one has ever treated me like this before. In the beginning this scared me, now I have learned to appreciate it and enjoy our time together.
