So.
Wednesday. I told Sam to call me this time, and I decided to just stay at work until he called. I think the words "after 4:30" were in this conversation somewhere.
Kristy stayed with me, thank God.
5 o'clock rolls around and I start to worry, but figure he's got something going on, whatever. 5:30 gets me edgy, and Kristy's having to tell me to breathe. She asks if she should text him and I was all "Yeah. NO NOT FOR REAL WTF ARE YOU--" But too late, she had already sent it.
(pasting from her journal)
Sarah says: -_- what you say?
Kristy says: it be okay sarah, "what are you up too?"
Kristy says: completely non informative.
Sarah says: oh okay
Kristy says: what you think i say?
Sarah says: I dunno, “call Sarah!”
Kristy says: "dude call sarah before she hyperventilates!!!"
Sarah says: or the less pushy but still desperate-looking “Sarah’s really looking forward to seeing you tonight”
Sarah says:lol yeah
Kristy says: hahah "i'm tired of hearing your name will you CALL HER ALREADY!!!!"
Sarah says: or that too
So it starts getting closer to 6 and I'm still spazzing, and finally I ask "What if he NEVER calls?" Then she goes, "Then you can come to church with me!" Lol. I told her I objected on the grounds that that's what my dad had suggested (earlier in the day, after Lions, when I told him I had a third date).
FINALLY her phone goes off (I can hear it) and of course it's Sam texting her back; he admits he's been asleep. She asks if he has plans and when the response comes...
Sarah says: TELLLLLL MEEEEEEE
Kristy says: "was going to call sarah and see if she wanted to hang out"
Sarah says: was?? WAS?? (yay, he hath spelt my name right)
Kristy says: lol, i texted back "you two should come to church with me"
Kristy says: (insert little laughing demon emote here)
Sarah says: because “ooh, good idea” wasn’t good enough? lol
Well, Sam was all "WTF?" but then when he found out that I was (probably) going he agreed. We went to church.
That was just...weird, lol. Not in a bad way. Reminded me of summer camp.
Then we went to McDonald's, and then to the Royal for karaoke. (Canceling out the church? XD Lol.) Hung out with Jacqui, played a really poor (on my part) game of pool w/Sam. Kristy took me and Sam back to his car and then I dropped him off (it's not a long drive to his place; he's in town as well). We chatted for a while, waiting for my windows to unfog (irony?) before we took off.
Then he had to work. Thursday, Friday, and tonight. It took forrrrrevvvvverrrrrr. -_-* Last night I went to Kristy's house and helped her reorganize her kitchen (after staying late enough to get like 3.5 hours of OVERTIME YAY), then today I went over and we dyed Easter eggs. I stayed for D&D (actually tonight was Vampire: the Dark Ages, but whatever), and I actually played. We ordered pizza and had Sam deliver, lol. He said he'd call me when he got off work and he ended up calling, like, 20 minutes later. He came on over while we finished the campaign (I feel like I sound smart, I probably sound like an idiot). Afterward Kristy said she was heading to bed--it felt kind of like she was saying "Okay, you crazy kids, go on and have a good time." Haha.
We DID. He came over and we played Grand Theft Auto (and by we played I mean he played and I failed), and finally he tried to pass me the controller and I was just, "Dude...it's so hard that it's actually more fun to watch you play than it is to play. But you can keep going..." *weird pause* "...or we could watch a movie." "Let's watch a movie."
He let me dig through his DVD/game case while he looked at my DVDs. He said that he'd seen pretty much everything I had, and his case is full of stuff that I've been wanting to see. Yay for movie compatibility! Lol. We finally picked Stranger Than Fiction (which was amazing!!).
And, I dunno. While we were sitting there, in the semidarkness (I killed the lamp, to get rid of the glare on the screen, wink wink--the light in the kitchen was on though), I really just...wanted to lay my head on his shoulder. And finally I shifted positions, but had no intention of actually laying my head on his shoulder, but then I just DID and it felt so normal and right and comfy, and I just stayed there, through the movie. :) At one point I asked if he was comfortable--"I'm not poking you with my elbow or anything, am I?"--and he said no, it was fine.
After the movie we didn't really move, and we just started talking, and kept talking. About five minutes afterward I pointed out that it was 4 AM. And we kept talking. And finally, after he'd said something funny, I put my chin on his shoulder and I said, "Sam? ...I really like you."
"I noticed."
There was a long silence, and I couldn't bring myself to say something mean, like "way to leave me hanging" so I finally just asked, "And you?"
And then he said, "I really like you too," and paused long enough to freak me out, and then said, "This is hard to say..." and paused.
"Oh, am I about to hear the Just Friends speech?"
He looked at me, a little scared, and said no. Then he went on to say that we'd seen a lot of each other and gotten to know each other, and he'd kept to himself for a long time, and there aren't a lot of girls who are smart like me (OMG!) and that he wanted to keep seeing me.
"That works for me. That definitely works." Then, "So..." (oh, tread carefully, Sarah) "Does that mean we're boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
And I let out a tiny little squee and wrapped my arm around him. We talked a little, he said he needed me to give him time and I said I was fine with going slow because I'd never really had a boyfriend, and he said he'd never really had a girlfriend (I knew it!). He also said nothing lasts forever, he learned it from his parents--they're divorced--and I told him that we could cross that bridge when we come to it. ('Cause, really...I don't know if he's The One. Maybe not. We're just getting started and I'm not worried about that at this point.) Finally I was like, "I should let you leave, huh?" It was getting close to 4:30.
But we're seeing each other again tomorrow, after doing whatever with our families for Easter.
I walked with him to the door and he told me to have a good day. I told him it was guaranteed now. :) Then he was like, "Uh, well..." and he leaned in and kissed my cheek! :D (And no, he didn't try anything more, which is fine with me. For now.)
The euphoria's ebbing, or at least the need for sleep is finally overcoming it. Goodmorning night, all!
