So this guy...
...is pretty dang special. And he means a lot to me. This is Nicholas. And he's awesome. And he's been mine for 3 months as of today. Time has flown and somehow feels like forever. Now, I know this is cheesy and corny but lets be real. I'm good at that stuff so please enjoy this mushy blog post. You're very welcome.
So for those who still haven't gotten the full scoop, scoop away. Especially my Utah people. Alrighty.
We met at Macado's Monday Night Wing Night. Well, actually we met on campus at Jonzzey's but according to him, I said hi and then totally blew him off. I don't remember that...but I do remember Wing Night. I'd finally finished Pride and Prejudice so I could finally have a social life again. My friend Branden had invited me along with about half the student body so I figured there was going to be a ton of people. I was right. We were split up into 3 tables and Nicholas ended up sitting across from me. We kinda hit it off. I remember laughing a lot and feeling self conscious about the wings drowning in bbq sauce that seemed to prefer everywhere but my mouth.
I'd see him around campus every so often during fall semester. It was "hey" and other small talk. During finals week he mentioned that he'd signed up for Italian with my dad the following semester. I jokingly said, "Well, if you ever need a tutor..." He nervous-laughed and said, "yeah I probably will need your number next semester." I couldn't figure out whether he meant he'd need my number
for next semester or that he'd be
asking for it next semester. I awkwardly said something like, "Okay, well have a great Christmas!"
So awkward.
It's now January. Wing night is once again a weekly tradition. After one such night of 39 cent wings, we (Nicholas, Branden, Jacob, and myself) decide to watch the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Yep. So classy, and hilarious. The next week Nicholas got my number through Branden (sneaky) and I was asked to help him and Jacob study for an Italian quiz. I met them at the library and after seriously 10 minutes of studying, Nick stood up announcing he had basketball practice (he's really tall) and started walking away leaving me and Jacob at the table...he stopped turned around and came back asking me if I wanted to go out on Saturday. I said yes.
Our first date was pretty uneventful. We had lunch, watched a basketball game and then I had to leave for a performance in Northern VA. But when I got back we decided to watch a movie. I don't remember what the movie was. I was too busy trying to figure out if this was date #2 or just date #1
part 2. I guess it doesn't really matter either way because halfway through the movie he said, "hey," and then kissed me when I looked up at him. Yep. And that was that. :)
Fast forward a few weeks. More hanging out happened. Maybe more kissing. But nothing official yet. Not until Valentine's Day. For my birthday he'd given me a king size butterfingers and a coupon good for dinner and Star Wars 3d any night upon my choosing. So naturally I chose Valentine's Day. It was just a good date. We had a delicious dinner made by a friend's parents who were in town visiting so that was convenient for all parties. We went to see Star Wars Episode I 3D. The glasses were the best part. They had Darth Maul on them. Plus they were super helpful in hiding my tears when Quigon dies. That part gets me every single time. Afterward we headed back to his house to play games with some other couple friends of ours. Before we got out of the car he asked me to be his girlfriend. He was nervous. It was cute. I said yes again. Boom.
It's been a wonderful 3 months. "It's already been 3 months?" "It's only been 3 months?" Whatever it's been, it's been fun. I love you, Nicholas. I miss you a lot. But I'm glad you're having fun in Sunny CA. Thanks for "the best 3 months" of my life.
