A love is a love is a love a dub dub
"Edmund" it was late and night and we were in my room watching movies and just chatting nonsense.
" why don't Mum and dad like Americans" I ask out of curiosity as I rest my head on the pillow cuddling it
"Cause some of them are idiots" he starts and I sigh in irritation and he sits up "I'm just teasing Jul , Americans are cool- ish , I guess and Mum and Dad don't hate them... they just don't agree with the manner in which they do things" he says and I raise my eyebrow
"I'm what way"
"They can be, well very , in your face sometimes , well let me not generalize , all the ones mum and dad met have been at least. Especially because most of them come from the concept of 'new money' so they can be every obnoxious with their wealth and ... I guess it doesn't sit well with our parents" is all he says , I decided not to think much of it and continued watching the movie.
"Why don't you like Hunter"
"Who's that?" He questioned
"The new boy,at our school"
There was a moment of silence while he seeming contemplated this answer.
"Well his already rubbed Olly the wrong way and he just seems, very , different I suppose,something just doesn't sit well with me" his answer seemed strategic, almost as if it was overly thought out
"And ... if I ever, let's say, got in a serious relationship with an American-"
"Mother and father would be absolutely appalled" he cuts me off "first off by the fact that you and Oliver broke up , I mean, that concept to them is practically illegal and to start a relationship with an American... you're practically asking to be disowned and snubbed by the family" he answered briskly.
"Now can you stop asking questions and let me watch this movie" he sighs and I comply as I let his last answer wrap around my head.
Surely my parents weren't that dependent on my relationships with Olly , and if so what for? Yes, I'd been with Olly practically my whole life and yes our families were good friends but surely that doesn't define reasons why I should be with someone.
I love Olly, he's my only understanding of a romantic and sexual relationships. He was the reason I comprehend and understand what love was or is. If it wasn't for him ,god, I'd be loveless and uneducated on the ways of love I suppose, he's taught me a lot about, well not only about love but about myself too. He was my rationalization in other words.
