NNBF

June 21, 2012.
Katie's friends from back home were down visiting and stayed with us a couple days then planned to spend some time down in Savannah. Well, Katie's bf lived relatively close to Sav, so we decided that the 3 of us would leave from his place and head out to meet her friends for an evening of shenanigans and then just all stay at Adam's casa, so we could get our drink on. Not gonna lie, I was pretty stoked because there was a chance I'd be seeing Aaron while over there. When we first arrived at the house, I immediately noticed Aaron outside on the dock...shirtless. Good lawd have mercy, I did NOT hate what I was seeing. But, because I'm a huge wuss, I decided to just stare at him from the safety of the house, where he couldn't see all the drool running down my face. I managed to snap out of it for a second and Katie introduced me to Aaron and Adam's roommate, Matt's, girlfriend. Jayma was a super nice girl and she was setting up streamers and stuff for Matt's return from Ranger school, but she had to get going so she could head down to wherever his school was to see him. Right after she left, Aaron comes strolling in the house and says something about me being too cool to come out and say hi...I just feigned innocence, "ohhh, I was talking with Katie and Jayma, sorry, I didn't even see you out there!" *LIES* Then he mentioned something about us being NBF's and I had to let him know...."Well, since Adam is my NBF, and I can't have two people with the same nickname, you're going to have to be NNBF for NEW New Best Friend!" He was totally down, SCORE! So, while Katie and Adam were in his room getting ready, I was chatting it up with Aaron. We talked about how he was getting promoted to Sergeant and how he'd been up since about 0400 that day, so he was really tired. I figured he probably wouldn't be interested in going downtown with us then, which kinda bummed me out, but I knew I'd see him the next day at the very least. We were all ready to head out at this point and we offered for him to meet up if he wanted, he said he might. Then, something I'll NEVER forget, when we said bye to him he said, "too-da-loo!" and it made me giggle. He would just say the silliest things all the time and it always gave me teenage girl giggles.

After a long night downtown, we headed back to the house. One of Adam's friends had met us out and he was a super nice guy...until he had too many drinks, then he just became aaaannoooooyiiiiiing! Well, he ended up coming back to the house with us because he'd had too much to drink and couldn't drive. *sigh* He was irritating me because he kept wanting to be all up in my business, so I made sure to sit on the opposite couch as him. Since Matt was still gone, I got to sleep in his room instead of on the couch, thank goodness, so I went in there to put my pj's on and came back out to watch some TV. Aaron had come in and out a few times, then one time he walked by in a towel after just taking a shower. Oh. My. Gah. I think that image is forever burned into my brain, and I am ok with that FOR SURE! I don't think I was exactly coy about my gawking either. Anyway, he kept walking by and I'm like, "so, do you wanna watch TV with us?" and he kept having things to do, like, ya know, putting clothes on, haha. And he had to go find his dog who wandered off a little ways. But, after that, he decided to watch some TV (thank goodness, so I didn't have to deal with creeper alone) and he sat on the little couch with me...WIN!! We got to chatting and he said he was going to be in my town on the 23rd to hang out with his brother and that we should hang out afterward. Uhhh, YES PLEASE! After a little while, we were both super tired and decided to leave creeper to watch TV alone, except he was actually just passed the eff out. So, we parted ways, him to his room and me to Matt's, then I remembered I had to give him my digits! So, I asked for his, put it in my phone and told him I'd text him. Once I did, while in different rooms, he was saying I should come hang out with him...soooo, I wandered into his room and we just talked, while lying in his bed. We started being all cuddly and being total teenagers with him saying stuff like, "I think I deserve a kiss on the cheek" and all sorts of just goobery stuff. Aaaaand, next thing ya know....clothes are off, lights are on and we are getting. down. to. business. It's SO weird...normally I am ridiculously self conscious about my body. Like, to the point that I've dated guys for as long as a year and they've only seen my butt ONCE. I'm just weird like that...but, when it came to Aaron, I NEVER felt that way. I could be naked with him, lights on, in daylight, and just be ok with it. He always made me feel SO good about myself. So, that was the night of our first sexcapade. Needless to say I didn't end up even sleeping in Matt's bed, hehehe!

Well, I think that's enough of THAT. Must shower now...and I might have to make it a cold one just remembering that night! :)

More to come.

I need this...

It is with a heavy heart that I've returned to my blog, unfortunately. But I really needed some place to go where I could just SAY what I feel like I can't say to anyone. I feel like people kind of get sick of hearing about the same thing over and over again, no matter how it's affected you. Also, if you've kept some things to yourself prior to an incident, some people may not GET why it's affecting you so much.

Anyway, that was super vague. What I'm trying to get at is this....someone I was on the verge of falling in love with was recently killed while serving his country and protecting our freedoms. His name is Aaron and aside from one major flaw, he was damn near perfect. Well, to me.

So, to start from the beginning, my friend/roomie (the one I moved down to SC to stay with) was dating this guy in the Army and I enlisted his help to find me someone to mess around with. You see, the day before I moved down to SC I found out "SM" had cheated on me while we were together and I was looking to blow off some steam. And, what's that saying? "The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else." Yeah, I was all about that. Anyway, so Katie and Adam (my friend and her boyfriend) decided that Adam's one roomie would be a good pick for me. Seemed like he's not looking for anything serious, good looking guy and really nice.

June 18, 2012.
The four of us meet up for dinner at a halfway point since we live in SC and the guys live in GA, and go to some place called FATZ. We were all chatting it up and having a good time and next thing I know we're talking about Top Gun and Aaron actually has stuff to say about it! Being that Top Gun is my favorite movie, I was immediately impressed. We had a nice time during dinner and when we were done, both Katie and Adam needed to use the bathroom, so Aaron and I walked outside together. It was in that moment that I noticed he was wearing Chucks. Whaaaaaat?! YES!! Before leaving the house I said to myself, "put the Chucks back, Amy, wear flip flops so you're not a total tomboy," and I kind of kicked myself for doing that after seeing his. Regardless, I was like, "Oh my gosh, I almost wore MY Chucks tonight, too!" Aaaaand just another thing for us to bond over, haha. So, we're outside talking about movies and Top Gun and he says it's his second favorite movie. AHHHH, second fav movie EVER?! That's a pretty big deal, I loved it! Then, we were talking about how my nickname for Adam was NBF for New Best Friend and Aaron was like, "looks like we are NBF's now, too." And I giggled about that. Katie and Adam came out then and we all walked to our respective cars and parted ways. I'll always remember what Aaron was wearing that day: plain grey t-shirt, camo shorts and grey Chucks. Looking all sorts of glorious in such a simple outfit.

That's our first meeting....I'll never forget it. Ever.

More to come.
