the email finally came at 4:42 PM on tuesday afternoon, as i was talking to my best friend. three little words nearly caused her to lose her hearing due to my giddy screams:
"let's do it."
my heart literally jumped out of my chest. (my heart hasn't done that since the gorgeous nathan n. said "hello" to me in the hallway of anoka high school in 1997.)
we agreed to meet at my place at 8 PM on wednesday night and walk over to the park to catch a sunset screening of purple rain, one of his favorite movies and one i hadn't yet seen.
at 8 on the dot last night, he showed up. incredibly nervous beforehand, this pollyanna's nerves melted away as soon as he walked in the door– i actually felt comfortable.
we walked to the two blocks to the park, talking the whole way. we spread out the blanket, and continued our conversation; as the sun set and the movie began, our words turned to whispers, but they never really stopped.
so ten sentences have now turned into too many to count, and my head is a mess of happy jumbled thoughts today.
i have no idea what's next, but i'm proud to admit i jumped completely out of my comfort zone and did the unthinkable– i boldly asked him out. (well, as bold as an email can be.) my black-and-white world as i knew it with him is quickly becoming a blurry grey... and i love it.
