Thanks girls for sticking behind me with the resort change fiasco, I'm sooo glad it all worked out well in the end, I must say I was stressing so much and had really bad migraines all last week, so glad it's over.
Anyway, I know that most people do this at the beginning of their PJ, but since I started mine ages ago I have decided to do it now.
How Steven and I met...
Steven and I have known eachother since I was 6 and he was 10. My brother who is also 4 years older than me, became best friends with him and I like a little lost puppy used to follow my big brother around, or rather he was told to take me with him. We would play armies, fenceball(made up game) Polo (like Red Rover) etc. Now Steven tells me he thought I was shy and all he can really remember about me is that I always had my hair in pigtails and always wore pretty dresses. I however remember kicking peoples a***s at armies and making a mean mud pie, but that's just me
When I was 8 my mom and dad decided to move to Australia again. However when I turned 12, we returned to Scotland. My brother resumed his friendship with Steven, and I started to like Steven more and more. I was at that horrible stage in a girls life, feeling really awkward and totally shy around boys. Through the years, my brother knew I liked Steven but thought this was only a crush, so disregarded it. Lucky for him, when I turned 15, my mom and dad decided we should up and move to Malta.
I loved this idea, as I had went through a rough time with this guy who I thought had been my friend, and I really just wanted to disappear. My exams were through so it seemed like a good opportunity.
I stayed in Malta for 2 years and returned a totally different person, I had lost loads of weight while there, and well basically I had grown up a lot. I now looked like a young woman, I had worked and studied while there and I felt more confident. I told my mom when we got back to the UK, that Steven and I would become an item
When I returned my brother was still best friends with Steven and when Steven saw me for the first time, he was stunned, I looked so different, he said to himself he no longer saw me as my brothers little sister. Still even though we had a mutual attraction at this point, it took 18 months for anything to be said...
I dated some guys, never long term things meanwhile Steven stayed single. I thought I loved this one guy I had been dating for 4 months, he broke it off with me after he said he had cheated on me with a bridesmaid at his friends wedding. Oh well then!
I remember calling my brother, crying down the phone and telling him what had happened. He was at Steven's house and Steven told me later he remebered thinking that if only he was my boyfriend he would never have treated me like that.
Four months passed and I didn't date. One day I decided to go into town and Steven popped past and said he would walk with me, we spent an hour talking about loads of things, just not what was really on our minds. It was the first time we had ever talked without my brother being there. My heart leapt
A week later my brother was working, Steven called and wanted to talk to me, he asked if I wanted to come up on the Monday and go for a walk. I jumped at the chance.
We met and walked and talked for several hours, after 4 hours or so, on the way back home, I started thinking maybe I got the wrong impression, he only likes me as a friend. That moment, he said to me,
'I really like you',
I responded saying, 'I really like you to'
Steven 'No I relly, really, like you'
Me 'I really, really like you'
Steven, stopping me in my tracks, 'Did you just say what I thought you said?'
Me, 'Uh, huh'
We both started walking and he took my hand, and held it tighly and we walked to his house together and didn't speak the rest of the way, we both just walked.
He kissed me on the bridge and it was the most perfect kiss ever, awkward, nervous and romantic and I fell in love, right there and then.
8 years later and we are completing our fairytale, we have had our ups and downs, but we have survived them and always found our way back to eachother, I couldn't imagine anyone in this whole world I would rather spend my life with. To put it simply, he completes me
