HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

My crush invited me over to their place to spend Valentines and the night. The plan was to get there before noon so we could spend plenty of time together. I didn’t want to come empty handed, I’d feel like such a shit partner. I spent the morning making a Valentine’s Day card. I put in as many cutesy little things as I could. Then I even put my own handwriting into my letter. It was barely legible but it was mine.

I put in a load of laundry in after the letter and swallowed the breakfast my beautiful mother made for me. I flew over to my crush’s place right after. She put me on to a show she’s wanted me to watch, The Haunting of Hill House. I’ve never seen a horror series before. I’m enjoying it so far!! We fell asleep.

When we woke we decided it best to go buy our groceries for our meal later. I was so stressed trying to figure out what to make. I thought a beef or veggie menudo would be something good to start? My mind was too confused, too scatterbrained to think. She tried to put my poor brain at ease but to no avail. She means too much, I need to make everything perfect for her. We decided on Italian. I’d make the chicken and she’d make a pasta, I wanted a salad we didn’t buy.

We relaxed at her place before we started cooking. Oh!!! What a joy it is to be around her. If I vibrate at a different frequency than the rest of the universe, if I feel like I just almost fit in with reality; being around her grounds me completely. My body doesn’t shake. My mind quiets from the constant hum of stress. Her smile, her eyes, and her freckles; what a sight to see. I could thank a god for that view. I hope to sear it behind my eyelids so it might never go amiss. I cooked the chicken and in all honesty I was pretty happy about it, we ate bruschetta as an app and she cooked up our pasta. Dinner was nice. I tried to flex on my friends but none of them asked, no one prodded. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wanted to brag but I was still happy just being there with her.

After dinner we started a Bollywood movie, Kal Ho Naa Ho, that shit was genuinely so funny. The main actor is so~ fucking charming and hilarious. Every other line is making me giggle. BUT ITS SO LONG!!! We got tired and we weren’t even halfway in. We headed up to bed. Sleeping with someone you care about is a different kind of bliss. There was no twisting, no turning. I fell asleep near instantly.
