Crushes, Curiosity, and that Damn Cat

Let me start by saying that G-chat is the devil and the demise of productivity in the workplace. But I’m sure we all know this.

Talking with a close male friend on the never ending topic of relationships, we stumbled upon the topic of crushes that happen during a relationship. He was of the opinion that a solid relationship can be in danger if one person has a crush.

Look? Sure. Such is humanity.

Emote? Never.

And as I read the transcript of his explanation on the perils of maintaining a crush and full time beau, I couldn’t help but remember…

*~*~*~

He was perfect. The perfect shade of dark chocolate sans the bitter after taste; tall enough for my stiletto collection but normal enough for my nose to fit inside the crevice of his neck; cupped my face gently for a kiss but grabbed my arm and shook occasionally to signal he wasn’t playing; Mommy loved him to pieces but Daddy knew he was a bad boy somewhere inside. Thrilling, yet stable. Came with baggage but wouldn’t tolerate my dramatics. Would hop in the bed just long enough to say goodnight, and would slide out so that, when I rolled over, I’d see his silhouette as he pleaded for the words in a book to make sense by twilight, his pen air drumming between his pointer and middle fingers. Oh, and he had “the dip.” (See: “So... It Happened.. Now What?”) He read every version of every story I ever wrote.
