There are many possible outcomes that present themselves the first time you spend the night with a person. The outcome itself varies as a result of the type of people put into the situation but many seek out those who have similar goals. This can range from those who only desire a hook up to hopeless romantics, much like myself. I have always wanted to fall in love and wake up with a smile on my face. I thought this would take a lifetime to achieve, it only took 19 years.
As a young girl, my parents treated me like a princess in such a way that I was convinced that I would be ready to marry prince charming on my 18th birthday. As I grew older, the realization began to in as not everything would ever be that simple. There were many times that I believed that I had met ‘the one’, as many teenage girls have and will continue to do. I had no idea when or where I would be blessed with meeting Mr. Right, it would end up being the spring semester of my sophomore year at college.
The possibilities of what could come of the first night with this man ranged all over the place but it played out just like a fairy tale. We had just been dating for over a month but over 400 miles kept us from having this occur any sooner. Prince Charming drove hundreds of miles, took off work, and came up on a Thursday since I was having a rough week. When we had decided to go to sleep, it is obvious that was not going to happen. We just laid there, staring into each other’s eyes, telling little jokes, and having tickle fights. We would drift in and out of sleep which resulted in about an hour of real sleep before we had to go to my 9am class. That morning when I looked into his eyes I knew that I was going to love this boy, I just didn’t know how much.
There is more to falling in love with someone than having the same hobbies or just saying that you love them. The simplest things can hold the most sentiment. It is amazing just to hear his laugh, see his eyes twinkle, or show his confidence when he interacts with others. The most comforting feeling that he gives me is knowing that I can just openly be myself. There are boys that I have gone to fancy dinners with and they yelled at me for even trying to be a little goofy, but I am just a big kid. My father raised me in such a way that making someone smile is worth more than any material item could. The second time he came to visit we had sat in Red Lobster just playing video games across the table from each other and smack talking, the waitressed smiled a little bit every time she checked on us.
As hard as he tried to get me to, I am still nervous to rap in front of him. He listens to post-hardcore metal and I listen to pop punk, but this can make both of us expand upon which we were accustom to. I am confident that he is the one that will be in my present and my future. The best feeling in the world is knowing that there is not a doubt in my mind that I have felt this since the first night I slept in his arms.
