I am sucker for ROMANCE.
The kind you find in an Nicholas Sparks book.
The one you feel when you hear a love song by Michael Buble.
The kind of words couples write in their vows.
This is my idea of romance.
and I consider myself one lucky girl because Nic is definitely the romantic type who adds a little bit of it in every day.
Typically Nic and I are up at the same time now that school has started but yesterday one of my classes was canceled.
6:45 Nic's alarm goes off and he jolts up in bed.
As he scrambles to shut it off he shifts his body towards me. I get that feeling when you know someone's eyes are on you and I know he is looking right at me. I hear a small sigh of relief, thankful it didn't wake me up. (or so he thought)
He slowly puts one foot on the floor, then the other, and is careful to stand up so as not to move the mattress in any way that might disturb my slumber. He tip toes quietly over to the bathroom door and opens it. As it slides against the frame he turns around again, notices my eye are still shut, and breaths a second sigh of relief. (all this time I am in no way annoyed but happy to be awake and witnessing this morning ritual he used to do every day in the summer). Next comes the fan, then the shower. After a while I drift back off to sleep from the trickling noises of the water. Not long after he turns off the shower and comes back out to put on his suit I am awake again. This time, I open my eyes and look in his direction. He is staring right at me with a perplexed look on his face. He tilts his head forward slightly peering in the darkness and wondering if I am awake. He has tried so hard all morning not to wake me and I don't want him to be disappointed so I don't say anything and close my eyes once more.
7:40 I wake up again only this time, to no noise. In fact, the whole apartment is dead silent and my heart suddenly sinks knowing he is gone for the day and didn't say goodbye. I get out of bed and run down the hallway to see if I can catch him only to find this sitting on the kitchen table.......
Don't be mad! You looked so cute and sleepy and you needed the rest. I love you so much moo moo, have a wonderful day. I'll text you a lot :) Be safe! Watch out for garbage trucks.... Love, your hubs
Completely 100% lovey-dovey ROMANTIC right?!
Like I said... I'm one lucky girl.
I could get used to this romantic thing.
P.S. if you didn't catch it, moo moo is his nickname for me haha just a little more cheesy romance for ya!
K we need to get our hubbies together so Nic can rub off on Ben. He is one of the most unromantic people on the planet. I told him once I wanted him to be romantic, you want to know what he did, downloaded an app on his phone with "romantic ideas" and yet he still did none of them!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I think I can arrange that... you gotta have some romance in your life! Romance is the key to a woman's heart after all.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute and romantic and sweet. I'm so jealous! I have no one to be romantic to me. But I'm so happy you do!
