A Little Variety

Monday.

Matt stays at my apartment that night, and we snuggle up together in my small bed. Everything is feeling so right. We had such a wonderful day together and I am just feeling so happy.

Maybe the break was the right decision and just what we needed.

When we get up in the morning, Matt makes us coffees, while I shower quickly before work. He doesn't have work until later, so he tells me that he can drive me in to work and drop me off. Another big surprise.

At work, things are looking great as well. My boss tells me about another event that we have coming up and asks if I wouldn't mind taking a stab at planning it. If I do well with this one, an even bigger promotion will be on the table.

Things are really looking up.

I think to myself. Now is really the time to send that message. I need to get myself on the right track. Things are better and looking up with Matt, and I need to focus on that relationship. And my job. I can't afford any other distractions no matter how they make me feel. Plus, things are so confusing with him, that it just makes me feel more uneasy and restless.

I send him the message that I had drafted last night, and then block the number. I feel that by blocking it and not expecting a response, I will feel better about the whole situation. Besides, that way, he can work on whatever he needs to work on with his girlfriend.

Matt picks me up from work that day, and we spend the night together. This time, I decide to stay with him at his apartment, since he's been so great so far about staying with me and even driving me to and from work.

He says that he does need to pick some stuff up for costuming, as him and the group need to start thinking about yet another Con. I feel heat on my face, as my thoughts go to the girl at the Con, but then they calm as he tells me that he wants me to come with, and maybe we can pick up some stuff for a costume for me.

And, we are going to the store together. Pete is meeting with us, but it'll just be the three of us. I feel like in this way, he is trying to include me in his life, and so I should meet him halfway.

We meet Pete at the local thrift store to try and find some items for costumes. I have no idea what I should be looking for, but Matt gives me a mental list of things to keep in the back of my mind; things like glasses, metal parts, buckles, belts, and other odds and ends.

I am actually having a pretty good time with Matt and Pete.

After the store, Pete heads back to his own house, and Matt decides to take us out to grab some food. We do end up going to Friday's, even though it's a Monday, but he pays.

I feel somewhat crazy, thinking I am just this happy that things are going so well. I mean, this is how relationships are supposed to be, right? But, I am happy, and so I try to tamp down the old memories I had, and replace them with these.
