As with any story you need the background, it starts when we met and we did not like each other. A good kiss can change everything. We worked at the same company and worked together minimally. His agenda on the companies need for my area of expertise was not the same as the companies’ executive team. I reported to the executive team. We worked in the action sports industry and the atmosphere was young, exhilarating and galvanizing. The gatherings at bars, bowling, dinners and events were always entertaining. A late night, too many drinks and we kissed. Even though I wasn’t sure about his personality at that point, he was handsome. Short dark hair, amazing eyes, and he had great style. It was the proverbial “hook-up” that brought us together. Minds out of the gutter please, it wasn't a full hook up or one night stand. It was a night of sensational kissing, it was thrilling and invigorating. After a few real dates, more make out sessions, I got to know him. In dating each of us puts the best of ourselves out there in the beginning. We want someone to be invested a bit before we show the entirety of us, the tarnished edges. Will they love the imperfections, dents and scratches of events and memories that shape who we are. The more we made out and learned about each other the more connected we became. My blemishes began to show and he dealt with them all. We were falling in love and the flaws he did show were manageable. A good make out session can definitely rattle your senses but I don’t think “love is blind”. I saw what he let me see. I adored many of his traits, most importantly he was driven and passionate about his life and career. It is always the things we think we want that inevitably hurt us in the end.
I like that last sentence
