Today, I've decided I'm a kept-woman and I'm actually okay with that.
Amy came over this morning and we were able to spend good quality time together. Neither of us had anything pressing that we had to do. We were able to just be together, lay in bed and hold each other and just be close. Times like that are so few and far between for us that we both think of it is as sacred time.
She decorated my room... she put up 'i love you' post-it-notes all over my bedroom.
She also tried to get out of me what I would want for my birthday. Since my birthday is three months away, I haven't given it much thought yet. So I mentioned that I would really like to have a weekend with Amy. Just the two of us. She told me she would work on that but she really wanted to know what I wanted material-gift-wise. So then I mentioned that it might be fun to own 'Tiger Woods Golf 2004' for my X-box (I own Tiger Woods 2003 and have almost beat it). I also mentioned that I need a new pair of brown shoes, similar to the ones she owns. She asked my size and didn't mention another thing.
She decided that I should go see a matinee movie today because I didn't have to go to work and was feeling aimless. She also decided she wanted to treat me to a movie and a big tub of popcorn so she convinced me to take her money (kept woman hint number one). She also convinced me that its okay to want to see kid movies and that I should call my favorite four year old, Lillian, to see if she wanted to accompany me. So I got to see 'Brother Bear' today with Lillian and her mom. It was a lot of fun. I can't remember the last time I sat in a movie theater with a little kid and had the opportunity to watch the wonder and amazement that crosses over a kid's face when watching a Disney movie.
She's also decided that she's going to get my a movie gift card so we can start seeing movies together even though we live four hours away. Her plan is to keep putting money on this gift card so we can go to movies at the same time in our respective towns and then talk about the movies afterwards (kept-woman hint number two).
When I was in the car on the way home for the movie Amy called to ask where I was and what I was doing. I didn't think anything of this inquiry because when she's trying to stop by, she generally asks the same thing so I was thinking that she was going to try to stop by again. She told me that I needed to go home immediately because she stopped by to put a gift for our friend Ingrid on my counter and there was a note there waiting for me. The note comment made me a little nervous. So I get home and see Ingrid's present and the note for me telling me to look in my freezer. I'm thinking "what the hell could she have put in my freezer". There is a note in my freezer telling me to look in my medicine cabinet. The note in my medicine cabinet tells me to look on top of my washer. The note on top of my washer told me to look in my bedroom closet. The note in my closet told me to look in the linen closet. I opened up the linen closet and lo-and-behold, there is a pair of Dr. Martens in there for me (kept-woman hint number three). I had a 'holy shit' reaction and had to take them right out of the box and try them on. They are really cute. I've actually had my eye on them for two years. I can't believe she picked out the pair I've wanted for so long and never showed her! She called me ten minutes after I'd found them, I told her that she needs to stop spoiling me and that they are too much. She told me that wasn't the proper thing to say and I needed to say "thank you baby, I love you so much". She told me to think of them as an early birthday present. Since she bought a new car yesterday and her new payments don't start for two months she has extra money right now and wants to spend it on me. I couldn't help but tell her that she shouldn't be spoiling me and she told me that its okay for her to spoil me now because when I have/get a real job she'll expect me to spoil her. It made me feel better to know that that expectation is there. Its kind of a two fold expectation. She expects us to last long enough for me to get a real job and she expects me to remain thoughtful enough to spoil her. Both good thoughts in my world for the future of this relationship.
