Having my cake…and eating it.
Four years later, we are still together and stronger than ever. It feels nice to be loved, don’t you agree? We were in Club Med (Florida) for four days. Everyday we were there, we fought and made up, only to fight some more. I have a temper like no other and he is stubborn as a mule. He pisses me off, I get up and leave him in the dining room. He makes me laugh and I forgive him. I tell him I never want to speak to him again and he says “How many times are you going to break up with me?” We are terrible together but worse without each other. Two words - it works.
Women stop me to tell me how good-looking he is. He is very attractive to so many but I am amazing to him. To me, he is perfectly flawed. He is tall (very), athletic, strong, smart, funny but also selfish and careless. He has just enough flaws to make him human and lovable. For every heartache he gives me, there is a bellyache from laughing. For every time he makes my temper rise, there is a look of adoration in his eyes. For every time he forgets to call, there is a time where I am his world.
I ask him if he loves me. He looks at me from the corner of his eye, “Stop being insecure, it’s been four years; I would give you my kidney.” Not very romantic but truth seldom is, right? We are what we are. We are the odd but exotic couple. We are polar opposites that cannot keep away from each other. He is the attention whore, I am the wallflower. He has 6% body fat, I have an ass with its own zip code. He spends as much time working out as I do sleeping. He is 6’6 (and a half), I am 5’4. I am neurotic but nothing fazes him. I am a planner and he goes with the flow.
We started as co-workers. We became friends. We became lovers. Never did I think that we would be where we are but here I am – I have my cake and I am eating it! I cannot believe the pedestal he places me on. No matter what tomorrow brings, we will always be a part of each other’s lives. If I die tomorrow, I leave with the knowledge that I am a woman who has truly been loved and adored. For this, I am blessed.
