Boyfriended
Well, then, let’s talk about the boy.
Is it possible, I wondered a week after having met him, that my interest could be caught again so soon? So soon after that thing that happened last March, after North Shore lost his luster, after The Cagey One threw me for a loop? I know I’ve been lucky (overall), but am I that lucky?
I am.
Just as I was all set to send my heart into hibernation, along he came. Isn’t that just how everyone always says it goes?
How do I describe him to you or what it is for me to find someone like him? Trilingual, he grew up in England, Saudi Arabia, and Germany, but always answers “yes, ma’am!” He recognized Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy,” reads in bed (Machiavelli), and entrusts the wine selection to me. He’s quick-witted, well-mannered, humbly confident, and quite the tall drink of water.
But more than what he knows or where he comes from, he is all that is kind and genuine and thoughtful. He is light and sweetness and passion. My stomach leaps at his voice, my skin tingles at his touch, and his mouth leaves me dizzy.
I profess I am not in love. But that didn’t keep us from ringing in the New Year in the best possible way. Again. And again. And again. And again. Oh yes, and again. He’s 24 and he can’t get enough of me. And I like it. Very much.
But, like all my relationships, this one is not without its own element of impossibility. Let’s just say, I can’t see him as often as I’d like and it can’t be helped.
That said, I’d be crazy not to do everything I can to hang onto this one (blogging about the boy curse be damned).
I’m happy. And his would be a heart worth having.

Exciting! Nice to know you had a lovely New Years, nothing better than spending it in bed with a loved one.
I’m crossing everything for you that this happiness continues for many blog entries…

[...] Loverboy and I lasted just over two months. And now I’m one more single girl out there going through another god damned break up. Yeah, I’d say I’m a bit pissed off right now. [...]
