week 027

• having wild nightmares, waking up to comfort and cuddling with the boy and his Maine Coon
• helping him clean up his fishtank and the kitchen
• dinner with Tyler and his family
• sweet late night conversations
• waking up early, making breakfast and lunch
• being strangely awesome at customer service
• "I feel like I've discovered a color that I couldn't see before. Like something completely new has opened up to me that I had no idea existed. That's the best way I can think to describe what you've done to me."
• "I love you more than I can describe. But I'm going to keep trying anyway."
• waking up to my dad frantically asking me "what happened!?", apparently having passed out on the kitchen floor due to conversation of my mother's surgery
• black eye and bruised cheek as a result of hitting my face on the floor
• Tyler picking me up, drinking Crown Black to numb the pain, showering
• cuddling and going to sleep, knowing that everything will be all right
• morning, finishing off a bottle of chocolate wine while in the shower
• the blissful hours
• watching Death Note together
• combining Syrio from Game of Thrones with Borat. "Give my daughter sword fighting lessons." "Very nice, how much!?" and "What do we say to death? NOT!"
• making pancakes for him + Jen & Lee instead of going to IHOP.
• "I'm going to go to Taco Bell and shit all over my neighbor's yard in the name of justice"
• being driven home buzzed, clasping hands
• waking up, cleaning and making cinnamon raisin bread for my mom
• going out for dinner + drinks with Tyler and his friends, him telling everyone as soon as they arrived that my black eye wasn't from him
• keeping him on his feet after drinks
• rushing into the liquor store, buying a 1.75L of Crown, Tyler drinking it from the bottle in the parking lot
• agony and comfort, wondering if I can go a day without getting hurt
• sitting in the living room, playing Words With Friends with my mom
• cuddling in bed with Tyler, half-watching True Blood, half-playing Words With Friends
• Derek's reaction to my black eye: "Tyler likes his sandwiches jelly-side down, but I'm assuming you already learned that."
• deep late night conversation, reminiscing about the good and bad, ending on the most positive note
• giving presents to Tyler for his birthday, hanging out drinking with his family, frosting the cake, looking through old family photos
• going out for Guinness
