Ok, this summer has been...amazing for me. A lot of things happened to me, good and bad. But the bad things only lasted for a little bit & this one main streak of goodness lol has lasted for weeks now & its only the "beginning" I am told.
Well of course, this thread is about what happened last summer when I met this amazing guy named Andrew. I remember him as being a little shy; but I'm beginning to learn when you talk to them on the phone, you can try your hardest to talk up a storm of interesting topics but they just...barely say anything.
I've especially learned that from my pretty much best friend Ryan. Ryan is my uncle's gf's son. He's my age & he & i are like PB & J. We tell each other pretty much everything esp. through txt message. Ha, he & i would start a convo in txt @ like 9pm & only end @ 3am. & I'm not joking lol. I really rely on him. He's an amazing guy; he's great to talk to (yet when i call him to talk about something serious....he barely says anything!!!! [its GOT to be a guy thing] lol).
Well back to where I was aiming for-telling you whats been goin' on w/ Andrew!!

lol
This is the story (what I've been dying for for a whole year!! lol):
Well yes, we actually did go to the cabanas on July 27th. & we only got there around noon & my mom said we were leaving early b/c bad weather was coming. Well we walked down to the beach & as me & my mom's friend's son Joe, whos 11, are walking into the water with his 7 y.o. sister Sara he says, "Oh, Stephanie. Guess who you're meeting at 5 o'clock in the same spot?!" Ok, can you imagine how I felt?! My heart like...skipped 5 beats; I thought I was in heaven!! So I stupidly asked who & he said, "Andrew. I've been following him all week to see if he has a gf & to see stuff about him. I talked to him yesterday & he says he wants to see you & that he'll bring a football." Ok, my heart probably skipped a lot of beats. First of all, 1) Andrew...wants to see me!, 2) he remembers me!, 3) he remembers playing football! So just to...idk ?experiment?

lol I said, "Joe!! Are you serious?!" But I made sure I said it in a little bit of an exciting way but not to dish so much out to Joe of my...like...year obsession lol (but I shouldn't be obsessed...I should be...oh who am I kidding lol)
Well...again like last year, I was kindaa wrong. We had to leave @ like...4:30 but b4 we left, after going to the beach until like 2:45ish, my mom, her friend Liz who takes us to the cabanas, & Liz's daughter Sara all went to the pool. So that left me, my brother Mike, & sister Melissa @ the cabana to just...play cards or listen to music. Well, me & my siblings have an idea where things are but all of a sudden Joe got up from a round of cards & started walking down the "hall" i guess lol of cabanas towards where I knew Andrew's cabana was. & Joe turned back after a few steps & says, "Come here. Follow me." & I thought maybe he had food in his hand & he'd turn around & throw it @ my face lol but the other half of my head continued to say, "Andrew Andrew Andrew Andrew Andrew" lol So I just kept saying, "Joe...where are you going?!" I mean, he knows his way around, but there were no adults around...I had no clue where he was going.
Well me & my siblings followed Joe & brought me to the one wooden place I've wanted to see for a year. Of course, Andrew's cabana. So Joe walks up to the cabana & asks to Andrew's mom I was guessing if he was there and she said that wasn't but he had a guest and that he was @ the back rocks. Now, the back rocks are just right near the front of the cabanas. Its just some water with rocks around it & its really really nice. & the back rocks are to the left of the picnic table where Andrew asked me to take a walk lol i remember that day so well...lol
So we went there & we didn't see him but Joe kept saying "Oh thats him. He's with a girl. He's cheating on you." So I said back, "Joe. How is he cheating on me if we're not going out 1). 2) that guy you're pointing @ looks like he's 35 & that's probably his wife." So then Joe says, "Oh...well he looks like that. He's changed. He's gay." Omg-that was it so I just said it all to make my point to Joe, "Hahahaha Joe you can't lie for your life. IF he was gay, why did you say he's cheating on me with (I pointed to the 35 y.o. guy & his alleged wife lol) THAT girl. How?" He just started laughing & apologized & we all just walked back to the cabanas.
Well when we got back it was time for us to leave. It was 4:30ish & I didn't get to see Andrew!!!!

I kid you not. The whole way home, which was about an hour, I didn't say a word. & I don't shut up. I did not say a word. I just sat with my head against the window. As we were leaving the cabanas, I said to Joe to give Andrew my # & tell him to call me. Or even for him to get Andrew's # for me. Well, the next night I get a phone call around 10:30pm saying, "Ok. I got his number."
THE MAGICAL NUMBERS WERE ABOUT TO BE IN MY HAND!!!!!!! & man do I remember the important stuff. I still remember the first three digits b/c its only one number off of my uncle's area code

& then Joe says, ".........do you wanna talk to him?" & i said in a way like I cold barely breathe, "..Sure.." I swear I was SOOOOO excited!!!! & then I hear
party like a rock; party like a rockstar. party like a rock... & then i hear joe saying "Hi Andrew. IUh...t's for you." & him being confused like...who does Joe know that knows me & wants to talk??!?? So he kept saying who is it & joe just kept saying just answer it. So he picked up & i hear this voice...slightly different but...
it was Andrew's voice!! & when he asked who it was, I said that it was Stephanie & he said, "Stephanie...............oh!! We played football together!" So I excitedly said back (yet trying to control my excitement lol) "Yes we did" Well...we talked for a good....minute & a half lolololol but he said that he felt bad that he could barely hear me b/c it was K Court's cabana party that night & they had a DJ but that we'd talk soon. & joe took his pic 4 me & sent it............haha he is very good lookingi'll tell you that very good looking =)
Well, thats all I could have asked for.
So it was Saturday night we talked & I called him thursday but he didn't answer. Which, pshhh whatever. It's like when I call a friend & they don't pick up-I mean...we'll talk later, right? Ok, so Sunday I get the call of my life. I was listening to this...this song on my iPod just sitting on the couch relaxing. It's called The Rain & it's by K-OS. It was one of those free songs on iTunes but...idk sometimes i just get them & try to like them lol I felt like I was really liking the song lol & I feel my phone vibrating. & when I looked @ the called ID screen...
it said ANDREW!!!! So I picked it up & we probably only talked for a minute & a half again b/c he said he was walking to the beach b/c it was so hot out just to go cool off. & I mean...I was sitting outside & I was like sweating thats how hot it was & I totally understood So probably...5 minutes after talking to him, I realized,
"Omg...he used the three day rule. But I just laugh b/c he said he was sorry he didn't call sooner; he hadn't checked his voicemail in a while...Hahahahahhahahahahahhahaaaa"
Well, I called him two days later & he didn't answer so I left a message again. Well...one week later (Tuesday) we went to Pennsylvania on vaca for two nights. & 2 make my vacation even better, Wednesday (August 15th) I feel my phone vibrating & I thought...nah...it's just a txt from a friend or cousin or even Ryan...I'll get it later. Well it kept vibrating & I was like...Haha who's calling me now? &
IT SAID ANDREW!!!! Yayyy!!!!!!!!!!!
Well he & I had a half hour convo b/c I unfortunately lol was the one who had to go. & during that half hour...I found our so much about him. He's really a nice guy. & I went to the outdoor pool where my siblings were & I'm dancing around the pool singing loudly, "Andrew called me!! Andrew called me!!" & ppl were looking @ me like...u idiot!! shut up!! hahahahaha i wasn't going to if it was that good of a day where we had a REAL convo. & i found something as we were talking...as sweet as he was asking so many questions, he really seemed into the convo. it didn't seem like he just
"had" to ask these questions just to get the girl. He paid attention to what I was saying & thats what he asked questions about, whatever I was talking about. Now as much as it was nice of him asking questions about me, I wanted to learn about him!! One year I waited for that call & now we're in touch. (**********Oh yea, I found out what happened with his messed up phone!! He lost it & his mom won't let him get another one so now he uses hers lol [its a guy thing; happened just 3 months ago to my good friend dan lol]***********)
Well as we were saying bye, he said, "Oh, & maybe we can talk later...thats if you're free tho" Pshhh of course I was free!!!! I really was doing like nothing on my vaca. So I called him around 8ish & he didn't answer. Which again...whatever we'll talk later. So I was sitting in the hotel room with my grandma while my sibs & parents were @ the outdoor pool & I hear my phone ringing & of course I thought it was a txt. & then I ran 2 it b/c I realized it was a call. & lucky me, it was Andrew calling me!!!! He said he couldn't pick up b/c he was @ his C.A.P. Meeting.
So the first phone call that day was about a half hour. The phone call @ like 10:30pm was for over 45 minutes!! Yes, this is Andrew talking to me!! & I found sooo much out about him (oh yea...not to mention all the stuff that makes him my dream guy!!)
Ok, he IS my age
He's in the C.A.P. & when he turns 16 in April, he'll get his permit, something for a motorcycle (i think his permit for that as well), & i believe his liscence to FLY PLANES!!!! Ok...I swear I could have drooled but...omg that is just sooo cool!!!!!!!!! & his dad is a fire marshall & my dad used to be a volunteer fireman. So our convo went on & I found out even more, he & i have a lot in common. At one piont of our convo, he even said, "Wow...we have the same opinjons on a lot of things." & for him to realize that b4 i even thought it or realized it it, it meant a lot to me, as corny as that sounds. it really means a lot. Esp. b/c of the fact i've never had a bf!! Lol
Now, this is the best part of this...I guess story lol
Well the other day I called him & I wanted to invite him kayaking with me, my mom, & my brother & sister. & when I called & i told him how where we kayak, its where my grandpa works (his friend Marty owns a fishing shop & ppl can dock their boats where he owns property & stuff like that). & I was telling Andrew how my grandpa lets me drive or steer, whatever its called lol he lets me steer his boat every summer. & he says in a very excited/interested way, "Do you like boats?" If I were old enought to have my own boat, I would save every penny I make & put it toward a boat & gas for it & I'd try to be on it every day. It is the best thing for me-esp. since I love fishing. So I said, "I love them. I go fishing every year. It's like my favorite thing to do during the summer." & his reply that was, "Really? Well I actually have a boat. ...maybe sometime if you want you can come with me & maybe we could fish." HALLELUJAH!!!! ANDREW ASKED ME ON HIS BOAT!!!! & he's definately coming kayaking!!!! & he's never been kayaking b4 so it'll be cool 4 him. but omg, he's done like everything else!!!! he's so involved!!
So...Monday (the 27th) I see Andrew!! & hopefully...() I'll have my first kiss with Andrew!! Omg I can't wait!! Lol
Hope that you find this "story" well worth waiting for as much as i found it worth happening lol
