Catchy huh?
His name is Monte. (quit giggling. I am serious.)
Yes well, it was our first weekend away together. You know how that is, a little more than nerve wracking. He's British and so there are sometimes "cultural differences". I was really nervous and hoped that it would all go well. A weekend doesn't SEEM like a long time until you are there trying to get through it. But he hauled me down to Virginia and back in true gentlemanly fashion. He whisked me through Washington and asked me what sights I wanted to see. I was astonished, excited and timid all at once. Oh! Are you SURE? You don't mind?
But I was leery for I had been down this road before; promised things and disappointed or let down. I was afraid quite frankly. But cruising into "familiar" territories, I was comforted by his flexibility. He was simple, easy to please and kind. He didn't get upset with me at all. He didn't even give a disgusted sigh if I was wrong (or if HE thought I was). He took my choices and opinions working with them gladly. Could this be a beginning to something new? Dare I hope? I've been through my share of ...shall we call them "less-thans"? It's hard in this day and age not to be cynical, skeptical when someone wonderful comes along.
There were a couple of tense moments mind you. I won't lie. He and I came toe to toe. But the solutions were reached reasonably enough. There were quiet times too. At first I didn't know how to handle it. I looked to him, trying to read him and get an understanding. I HATE not understanding someone: Show me. Tell me. It's very simple in my mind. And necessary if you want anything to be worthwhile. But I think I got it or at least a decent start to it. I really believe we got on well. We will do it again. The ride home was even more relaxed than I envisioned. It wasn't one of those "Get me the heck home so I don't have to look at you anymore" it was more like : "This was good. I'm truly glad we did this." He echoed the same sentiments. It was nice...okay...it was (in true Tess style?) FABULOUS. He made me laugh and put me at ease. I can't expect more than that. At least, not yet.
There is anticipation for next time. It will be even better. I am sure of it. We just "click". It's great to be this certain so early on in the game.
His name is Montague. He is my new GPS.
Thanks for stopping by, hope you found your way through a good day.
