Last night Frankie and I went to Arabica and met Mitch and Levi there. It was pretty fun. I was the only girl but that was okay. We just talked about various things dealing with life and school. We were there for about an hour. It's a really nice place. It had a cute little fire place in the corner. There was a tiny bar area that was the smoking room (although, not for long since there was a smoking ban that was passed in the recent election) so we sat in there so the guys could smoke. Frank actually wasn't supposed to go in there because he's only 19 but we didn't get busted until he tried to buy a cigar and had to show his ID.
After that, we said goodbye to Mitch and Levi and I followed Frank to his house. We visited with his aunt for a minute because she was folding laundry. We sat on his bed and he just held me. I love that. We hardly ever talk when it's just the two of us. I know I blush everytime he looks at me with those beautiful brown eyes of his.
We were both tired. I had a horrible day at work yesterday and he had an all around busy weekend with his orchestra concerts and having to do his bus training before the crack of dawn most mornings so we both ended up falling asleep. I don't know how long because I had my glasses off and couldn't see the clock. There are train tracks not too far from his house and a train goes by about every fifteen minutes. So, I knew it had to be about 11:00. I can be a very light sleeper and heard it going by. Frank was out and I didn't want to move. He was laying on his back and I had my left arm on his chest and he was holding my right. I just lay there and watched him sleep for about ten minutes. I really didn't want to leave but I knew if I went back to sleep I probably would wake up too late and my parents would be pissed. So, I tried to move as quietly as I could so I didn't wake him and I was going to sneak out. Well, his bed creaked and that woke him up. I smiled and he looked at the clock. We both knew I had to leave at that moment even though neither of us wanted that to happen. I got my coat and he walked me outside but didn't leave the garage because he was still groggy. I gave him a kiss and told him I would see him tonight at his jazz concert and went to my car.
I love him so much and it's so hard when we leave. I really could see myself with him forever. And I'll wait as long as it takes. We both want to finish college and get real jobs first. We were talking about it when he asked about my friend, Katie, who used to date his friend, Mike, and had introduced us. She's back with the guy she was seeing before Mike and is going to be engaged to him soon. He's 21 and still in college. She's 24, has some college under her belt but not much, and not a very good job. We both agreed that that should be a priority. Being able to take care of yourself before thinking about getting married and starting a family. "How can you take care of someone else if you can't even take care of yourself first?" he said. And, I think he's right.
Anyway, my friend, Becca's here so I'm going to chill with her for a bit.
And, I LOVE FRANK!
