Birthday boy

Part two still is coming.... its kind of exhausting to sum up 6 months of my life here and there. ;)


"What did you get him for his birthday?"
"Pillows."
"What? Really?"
"Before you judge let me tell you that the first time he spent the night at my apartment, he went on and on non-stop about how my down-filled pillows were superior to his foam ones. Last night, he did the same thing and then commented about he needed to get down filled ones."
"Ah, I see now."
"Yea, I am nervous all the same about the gift, I don't know how he'll take it."
"I'm sure anything you give him he'll like."
"Damn, I should have gotten him a dvd."

Flash forward.

"So what did you get me for my birthday?"
"Who says I got you anything?"
"You did, two nights ago."
"Damn, Hold on."
I left and got the pillows, I had only tied a blue ribbon around them, wrapping pillows seems impossible.
"Here."
I handed him the pillows and simultaneously watched his reaction. He was surprised at first and them a huge smile crossed his face.
"The good pillows like your bed?"
I nodded.
"I went to Bed Bath and Beyond today..."
My heart sunk.
"...I went there to look to see how much they were and how much better sheets were."
"Oh?" I said only to keep the story going.
"I decided that I should get the sheets but not the pillows because they were like 40 to 50 bucks a pop and I decided I could do without them. Even if I really wanted them."
He looked up and smiled at me.
"I needed to waste 80 bucks on you for your birthday." I said and smiled back.
"I'm really glad you did."
"Me too."
"Did you talk to my mom about this?"
The question caught me off guard completely, "What, no?"
"Well she said she was getting me a new comforter and curtains for my birthday."

Apparently all minds think alike when it comes to the man I'm dating.
