Warning: Incredibly boring and pathetic blog about my boyfriend
So, I guess I should start this by telling you that not only is my boyfriend, just that, but he is also my best friend.
We met around 3 years ago at a meet-up with various mutual friends, in a slightly un-sober state... Since that very day, we have spoken almost every day.
Yes, really. As sad as that may seem, it meant an awful lot to me to have someone there for me, whenever I may need them. I like to think, as I have been told many times, that it meant the same for him.
Anyway, we quickly became best friends, spending more and more time together, and sharing things that we have only spoken about with each other.
It has always felt like something...fits. I don't know, like he is the missing part to my puzzle. Wow, that sounds so incredibly lame, but that's how it is. He filled the gaps missing in my life.
Until recently, that was the way it was.
Two best friends, who called each other "brother" and "sister", yet acted like boyfiend and girlfriend.
That was how we thought it should be - nothing more than "best friends", who spent all the time we possibly could- watching films, f.r.i.e.n.d.s, and drinking countless mugs of tea.
All this time, neither of us knew how we truly felt about each other, partly because we didn't realise that this was more than just a "best-friendship", if you like, and partly because we were content with the way things were.
And all that took to change this? A holiday to the beach, with best friends, and a lottt of rosé and vodka & coke.
Well, saying that, the fact that he was soon (in 4 days, from then, ouch) to move to the States for a year (academic year, so around 9 months).
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm glad our relationship has changed, but I'm also glad it has stayed exactly the same in most ways. The kissing and other things that come with being in a "relationship" are a bonus.
Thank you, Bournemouth and rosé, for helping us get to this.
And as for him spending a year in America. ADGHJJHFDB :(
At least I managed to bring him home for Christmas.
20 weeks, and counting.
