Cheesy, yes I know.
But it's true. I've somehow managed to find myself a man that is... well kind of on the brink of incredible. Apparently all our friends were playing for it to happen and well, I have to say Best Friend (you know who you are *coughALLISONcough*) You actually managed to find someone I wouldn't have ever found myself.
All right, specifics:
His name is Derrick..
or rather William Derrick.
He's 25 and 5'6''.
He's beautiful and dark skinned and, dear god, sexy as all get out.
He really really likes me :) He continuously tells me that while I can't get enough of him.
We have a bad habit of not being able to say goodbye so we've begun saying goodbye half an hour before we part, if you catch my drift ;)
He's patient, understanding, intuitive, possessive (in a good way), a hell of a kisser, a big ol' nerd, loves his family, an artist, creative in a plethora of ways, hilarious and absolutely all mine.
I was attracted to his eyes first. I had a tiny crush on him when I met him at his birthday party but was suddenly reciprocated when he kissed me that night. Then when he told me that he'd call me over the weekend that night, he gave me butterflies. But all of a sudden getting a text that same night a few hours later saying he couldn't wait til the weekend, things kind of went from there.
Him and I can sit and stare at each other and just about know what the other is thinking. If anything gets in the way, we can respect it and talk about it.
I honestly can't say I've been quite this happy in the past 4 years. I've never felt this strongly for anyone. Anyone. He got out of a crazy relationship a while ago and said he's never felt this way about anyone else either. The way he looks at me, the way his hand sits on my cheek or his forehead rests on mine makes my heart flutter out of my chest. I can't hardly stand it. He loves making it known that I'm his.
I LOVE ALL OF HIS FRIENDS. Dear god, I'm so happy. Somehow I fell into a family I've felt like I've known for the last 10 years. I'm glad when I came into it though- sometimes people need time to grow and evolve and become the person you need.
Just like him.
I'm constantly unbelieving that he's with me and at one point I looked at him mid-kiss and said:
"no but really... where have you been my entire life?"
His response?
"I think I was looking for you.."
...
How in hell did I get so fucking lucky? How am I not subconcious about myself around him? How can I not stop kissing him? Or talking to him? How have I let all my barriers down to him Already?? Laurel (one of my new favorite people ever) told me it had to have been the fates. I'm a Cancer and he's a Taurus. Apparently that's a pretty damn good mix. Right now I can't even complain.
Oh and pretty much everything I'm finding out about him lately is an absolute bonus.
And don't hate- but him and I.. we ravage each other in bed. Holy shit, I've never had better. Last night topped everything. And then we laid in bed all day, half out of exhaustion and half out of just love.
Oh yeah did I mention he kinda loves me? He said it first, completely and sincerely and totally awkwardly... But I can't even help but love him back. :)
Mom, if you had any hand in this- thank you so much. Thank you for the perfect man in my life.
