A friend finds love....pt 3

Hello again dear reader! I do hope you have enjoyed reading this continuing blog so far.;-D The realization that my friend was in love with her Mr. Right, and wondering if he, indeed shared her feelings of love was where we left off. So Now I'm going to skip ahead a little bit. Mr. Right is coming back to town for a undetermined amount of time, to see about getting a job and starting his way back to getting to know his son again.


My friend has been talking allot about a ski-trip she is going on this weekend with some of her girlfriends. She is so excited, went and bought a brand new ski outfit, at a bargain (WAHOO)no less. Having worked many double shifts, and sometimes triple shifts to pay for the trip with the girls, but also in an effort to keep her mind from missing her hearts desire. There will be poker at night and skiing in the early morning, her little daughter will steal the show, my friend has no doubt. Being a little past 4 that is her daughter's job after all. :-D. So, getting a bargain on the before mentioned ski outfit means more playing time at the poker(Texas-hold-em) tables. YAY! Everything seems to be going just right, nothing was going to spoil this trip. Yeah right!!

My friends phone chimes, a text has just come in. "Guess what baby? I should be arriving this weekend, see you soon! MR. Right." My poor friend, at first she is like YEEEEESSS! I get to see my man, he is coming home this weekend. I am sitting right next to her as she gets the message, I see the reaction, but I wait. I wait , because I know she is going to realize very soon, what she has just read, and what that really means. She went from ecstatic to OH SHIT!! In the blink of an eye. She has already committed money and time to the ski-trip. Not to mention the fact her daughter, and girlfriends are all looking forward to the time together. "CRAP" What do I do now???

I smile and tell her to call or text her guy back and get the best approximation of his arrival, and to remind him you were going out of town on the ski-trip. You did mention it to him earlier, probably why he gave you the message. He wants to know when you will be back. After kind of debating with herself about canceling or not she does finally call her guy. This time she is half a room away when she calls up her boy. I see the tension release from her shoulders and the grin and blush combo return to her cheeks. So I know before she tells me the timing is going to be close but she will be able to do both after all. So she did just that.

Problem being, while at the ski lodge all she keeps thinking of is ending the trip and going home as fast as she can to be waiting for her man. She does lots of things to distract herself. Skiing, poker, and some innocent flirtations, but between one breath and the next she is thinking of him. She has got it soooo bad. Lucky for one and all sore muscles have away of distracting the mind, not having been skiing in quite a long time, her muscles protested with a vengeance. Or as she told me on the phone " Ow! Dammit! I'm so soar right now, I'm not even horny anymore. Dammit"

Okay, she is back from skiing, with about 6hrs before her boy arrives. He says he wants sushi for dinner when he gets in. So, she goes and gets his sushi, puts clean sheets, and bedding on the bed. Picks up loose cat hair, and a general house cleaning before he arrives, not that it is needed, but for the distraction. All is going fine until her vacuum dies on her. Looking daggers at the offending machine, she glaces at her cat. Who looked back as if to say, HA I showed that thing who's boss, nobody messes with my hair. She replies "keep it up and I'll shave you bald". The cat simply lies down on the clean bedding and closes his eyes with a smirk reserved for all cats upon his face. Oh well, I tried she says to the all to empty seeming room, as time ticks away at a snails pace. Finally he arrives. My friend who was starting to get a little down, and drift into her does he love me? Am I making a mistake? Am i going to blow this some how thinking? He arrives tired and smelling of cigarettes, and to many days in the same shirt. As she gives him a who gives a crap about that stuff anyway, kiss and embrace. The kind that makes you smile later just thinking of the memory, all doubts gone. She is in the arms of her one true love. Being so tired he is more relaxed, and open to his feelings for her, maybe more than at any time in the past. He sees her in his arms and thinks, "I love you". The words never escape his lips but they are in his eyes just the same. Sex and sleep soon follow. For him it is hour upon hour of sleep. My friend is happy just looking at him in his slumber. relaxed and in her life once again.

I'll leave the rest of the story for another day. So until then, be happy and loved. Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder. Just ask these two.
