Recalled

Times Change

"Huh? Oh...babe I'm almost there."

"We're already 15 mins late! Where are you?!"

"BABE don't worry I'm on my way!"

"UGH! Sam sometimes for being an honor roll quarterback, you sure are a jackass!"

"...Really nice babe, really nice!Now do you mind? I don't like driving my car and using my phone."

"Whatever Sam, just hurry up okay?!"

"OKAY!!!"

Jesus Christ sometimes I wonder why I had picked Sam over any other guy! There were so many things that we didn't have in common! He loves bands like Pink Floyd, I'm more into Britney Spears. All that I want to talk about or cooperate in is cheerleading, shopping, gossip, and partying. Drinking shots of tequila, or amaretto with Irish Cream....or Strawberry Daiquiris/Cherry bombs/Sex on the beach...You get my point.

Sam's into reading books ad taking long strolls in the park, or joy rides in the country woods.I tried to walk with him in the woods one time, you know. We just started dating and we were really shy with each other.

....Now I will admit, I was stupid. His deceased grandfather gave him his acres in his will to enjoy. Sam wanted me to be the one he shared it with. I went hiking in some flip-flops and kept freaking out because I was wearing perfume that drove the insects in the woods berserk! ...Enough being said? That day did not stay romantic.

Things were quite different back then. Though we were in middle school, people didn't respect us much. Those were the days when I didn't believe in flaunting my money, or making bribes in order to get the things that I wanted.

Sam? Oh he was a nerd...well, not in the literal sense. Like I said before, he loves to read. He won several spelling bees, was in math club, band, and drama club! He wore braces and sported the nerdy-yet-fashionable, "emo," glasses.I will truly never understand how he became what he is now. His transformation amazed me, for a very long time...Until I knew the truth...

....I can't even recall how we even met, I believe we had certain classes together. We played the staring games...you know, the thing where you're staring at someone that you really like. Then when you get the impression that they can feel your stares, they start to look you?

...And you avert your eyes, pretending to be focusing/fully concentrated on the work that you were assigned.Or look ahead pretending that you are really staring at something, or someone-else?

Well there you go, that all I remember. (Side effect) Things were so much more different back then! I was the girl that held her head low, the girl that sulked when she walked instead of walking to her own beat. I always shielded my face with long and dull blond hair, the one that always sat in the back of the classrooms and everyone forgot even existed. I would eat lunch alone, the last person to be picked for a team...I'm sure you've been there, everyone seems to have that phase once in their life.

It makes me shudder to think how much of a loser I was. How ironic is it that the invisible girl is now the visible and radiant one?

Sam and I always seem to get on each other's nerves these days! If we aren't making out or having sex it seems like we tire of each other's company quickly. I can't even recall the last time we even went to an ice cream parlor and shared a milkshake, or even held hands when walking together!

All I do know is that I truly love him because of our good times in the past. The corny jokes that he used to to crack that would make me embarrassed because they would make me laugh so hard that I would snort. The way he kisses me...how his soft, patient lips lightly brush mine as if to tease and urge the temptation before my arms wrap around his neck...
