I'm attached to books. I am attached to the characters and the worlds that will not be mine but for a few hours, I used to hope I could live in their worlds, be friends with the elite, fly with dragons, or fight with the Illyrians. People told me I should live my life in reality, But I would get disappointed by everyone I met.
Until I saw you
The first time I saw you I was in Essentials having a panic attack before my interview thinking my outfit was too loud and that the manager was going to hate me. You walked across the rotunda like you were going to kick ass and I could not help but think you reminded me of Jericho Barons from the Faefever series. Your strong back the confidence of your walk was Barons Through and through. I laughed at myself and said, "If it is meant to be I'll get the job and I'll get to know you."
I got the job.
The first time I messed up and thought I was going to be fired you laughed and said fuck it. I looked at you as if you were crazy and you showed me some dumb video on the computer. I do not remember what the video was but I remember feeling better afterwards. I told my best friend you reminded me of Stark from the House of Night series.
She said you were worth keeping
The first time you saw me cry I was mortified, I hid in my hair and silently pretended to read my book, you offered me some chicken fingers and then started to play some music. I liked you never call attention to it, or tried to dig it out of me. You let me process first and then let me start the talking. I was reading the Bloodlines series thinking about the time Sydney gave Adrian a slushy when he was upset.
I got a slushy after work that day
The first time you said you would pick me up my anxiety spiked. My ex told me it was my fault they got in an accident coming to get me. I prayed for two days straight that you would be okay. I got in your car and we broke down on a back road. The way you reacted, made me fall for you. You were kind and calm looking at your car, I was trying to be positive and you never told me to shut up or stop talking. You called your roommate and we all laughed about it, I remember being right about something that had to do with the car and you freely told your roommate, I was the one who figured it out.
I named your car Frankie after that.
You irritate and fight with me like Wrath from Kingdom of the Wicked; you gave me my freedom like Rhysand from ACOTAR. When I think of you, I think about a Quote that was from Karen Marie Moning. It is about not falling in love with a man's potential. Instead, fall in love with a best friend. She hastily added a truly, serious best friend; one that I couldn't wait to talk to first thing in the morning as soon as I woke up, and one that I still wanted to be talking to, right up to the last minute before I went to sleep.
Moreover, I think I found that. I found the person that makes me smile even on the bad days, who gives me forehead kisses and butt smacks. The person who sees my positivity and never once tries to diminish it.
In the end that is all I ever wanted <3
