Inerris couldn’t stop grinning the entire way home. He honestly felt like he was floating. It was a foreign feeling to him but one he liked already. Was this really what it was like? No wonder people made such a big deal about it.
It was late and he knew that he should sleep but even as laid down in bed, he just felt wired. Memories and images and words from the evening racing through his mind in the best possible way. Rolling on his side, he saw his journal laying there and sat up. Why not write something happy in it for a change?
Dec. 2nd…. 3rd now
“You are such a bright, beautiful soul. I’ve liked that about you since the start.”
I really never thought I’d hear someone say something quite like that to me. But honestly, there were so many things about tonight that I never thought would happen. Not because I’m impatient and not because I don’t think I’m lovable. But because those are things that always seem to happen to other people. Almost how I feel with things that happen in a story but not in real life.
And now I just can’t stop smiling and I can’t stop thinking about all those little moments. We met several weeks ago and I honestly didn’t think something like this would come of it. Sure I thought he was handsome and seemed really nice but I think that about a lot of people. Plus, we met in such an odd way. But now what he said to me sounds so funny. “Just let me sit here and talk to me. I promise I’ll make it worth your while.” Goodness, did he ever make it worth my while.
It was definitely an odd night for me when we met. Something about him though seemed to stick in my head and somehow between then and this night, things started to change. Flirting and meaningful looks, I suppose. And then this night… he seemed just as nervous as I was but then something seemed to change. I think it was during that play. I think all the laughing relaxed me and I just decided to lean on him and he did the same. Somehow a simple hand touch had my heart pounding.
And then… then he kissed me! He said my name and then just did it! It was so sweet and so perfect. And goodness, I can’t believe any of this happened. I know I’m being completely disgustingly mushy at this point but no one else will read this.
Aritriel…
Sighing, he put his journal away for now. With some of this thoughts expressed, he was starting to feel a little sleepy. For the first time in such a long time, he fell asleep with a smile on his face and pleasant dreams awaiting him.
