Forever and a Day

*WARNING: The following post is gonna be really annoyingly cheesy, mushy, overly saccharine and all ‘look at me in love.’ But, trust, what you’re about to read are real truth bombs.*

Geez! I’ve been so slacking on the journal writing! And as you’d know it, I’ve been having quite the past 2 months! So much fun has been happening!

Okay, so I should finish my story from Dec 6th…

I ended up going home early from the library. I took some NyQuil and crashed out in my room. Later on in the afternoon after texting every single partner who was available to cover my shift it became very evident that I’d have to go to work, flu and all. 😦

So, I roll into Sbux at 5pm with my soup, still doped up on NyQuil, wearing my glasses and feeling generally shitty. I go to the back room and sit down, lay my head in my hands and listen to my iPod. Then Nick comes to the back and says:

NICK: Guess who came in just a moment ago?
ME: Who?
NICK: Alex Cory. (he smiles)
ME: Are you kidding me?! (I throw my scarf on the floor). Today sucks!
NICK: But I told him you’d be in later. So he’s coming back to meet you. (he smiles)
ME: You’re kidding?! Lying!
AMANDA and ERINN: Nope, he’s coming in.
ME: Yay! (laughs)

So, normally this type of news would have had me so twitter-patted but as I was sick and doped up on NyQuil, I didn’t have the usual nerves or the urge to glance at the door every 5 seconds.

So, when I was in the back getting sugar, Erinn says over the headset:

ERINN: Heather, Alex Cory is here.
ME: Ah, man! (secretly smiling) I can’t be cute, I’m sick.
ERINN: Get your butt up here!

So, I go to the drive thru counter and hide.

ERINN: (over headset) He came here to see you!

So, Alex Cory walks to the register and as I slunk over I grab a fat sharpie from the counter and before he can get a word out-

ME: Alex Cory can I have your number?
ALEX: (Laughs) Yeah, of course.

He looks around to write his number on something.

ME: Here, old school style. (I roll up my sleeve and give him my arm)
ALEX: (laughs) Okay.

He tries to write with the ginormous sharpie but if so obviously isn’t gonna work. I laugh.

ME: I’m kidding, I have my phone.

We chat for a few moments about awesome movies and generally smile a lot and laugh. I spend the rest of the night on cloud 9. It was a great night. An unexpected turn of events in my sicky mcsick day. 🙂

Chilling in Hastings – 2009

Alex Cory, the boy with the two first names, Hasting’s Boy…happy three year anniversary! But, as I was always fond of doing, ‘timeline-ing’ our relationship..I can’t say it’s just been three years.

We have this great history. With it’s ups and downs and laughs and sighs and on-agains and off-agains, just like most things in life. We wouldn’t be us without all that history. So, here’s to us and to the future. I’ll love you forever. And a day. Cause forever isn’t long enough..you have to add that extra day.

See. I warned you it was gonna be cheesy! 😀
