As the weeks passed, we started getting to know each other. He was taken and thus off limits, that enabled us to become true friends. We spent the day working a couple feet from each other, every once in a while an IM would pop up from Chris, just to say hi. I remember a conversation we had about relationships, how you should want to be with that person all the time, and that life was too short to be unhappy or to settle. Little did I know there had already been many a conversation between he and his Mom about me!
Here I was building a friendship with someone, and trying to control the feelings I had since we met! K'reesa finally told me that Chris had broken up with his girlfriend, all of a sudden it felt very complicated. Now I had to face how I felt! Chris invited me out on the lake with he and his friends on July 4th. It was a hot, summer day...typical for Texas. We were in the lake, sitting on lifejackets, talking. Sometime in the middle of our conversation I couldn't hear anything, I was staring into the eyes of this amazing guy, and all of a sudden I realized he was more than a great friend. There was something there!

I wish I could tell you I told him how I felt right then. But I didn't. You always hear about those whirlwind romances, and yet when it happened to me I was totally unprepared and had absolutely no idea how to react! That night it rained and stormed, I ignored my phone and several texts from a confused guy who happened to be feeling the same things as I! Well you can only resist for so long, and soon it takes you by the hand and without asking or waiting for permission places within your hand the most precious gift of all. Love.
