Ok, I thought I’d give our story a try. I think I’ll do it in pieces and since I know for me it’s hard to read a long page at once. It’s my ADD, sorry.
I met Erik at a x-mas party at my best friend’s (I’ll call her CG) house in 2002. I’d been friends with her for like 3 years before that and was already going to be in CG’s wedding. He was CG’s then fiance’s brother whom I’d rarely heard about. I knew he was going through a tough time and was about to start divorce proceedings or whatever.
CG was so excited to introduce me to him and there was immediately a spark between us. We talked a lot that night and I found out he hadn’t yet seen some of the movies I felt were a requirement to live in this world. I told him I’d hang out sometime and show him some movies.
Soon after he dragged CG and his brother to a party of mine 45 minutes away right after a snowstorm. We flirted some that night but were still only friends. He did however give me a note at the end of the night like we were in middle school but asked me if I wanted him to stay the night. I was uncomfortable by the question and just laughed at him. Then I nicely explained I lived with my parents and he didn’t have a car to get back to his brother’s place. I still regret I didn’t save that note…dammit!
We had movie nights several times where I showed him American Beauty, Primal Fear, Memento and many others. He appeared to enjoy it although he completely forgot he saw Primal Fear recently, which makes me wonder how much of the movies he actually watched.
We talked a lot online after that and on the phone sometimes. He then invited me to hang out with him for Valentines Day as CG and his brother were going away for the weekend. I wasn’t sure yet because I didn’t really want to get involved at that point but when he told me he learned a song on the guitar I couldn’t resist.
When he played Everlong (by the Foo Fighters) on the guitar and sang to me I cried. I knew right then and there I was in-love with him. We’ve been together ever since.
