Also story time on how Bryan’s and I’s relationship started; a thread
I met him when I was a Sr in HS (I was 18) & it was Thanksgiving break & my mom took me to my first ever bar (The Spot in LV)
For like 4 hours, I kept noticing a guy in a leather jacket & a lip ring looking at me & lemme tell y’all, he was looking fine as fuck. Anyways mom’s bestfriend was with us & I made the mistake of telling drunk bitches what I thought of him
Aimee, my mom’s best friend walked up to Bryan (who was 4 seats away from me at the bar) & told him that I thought he was really attractive & YA BITCH GOT FLUSTERED
So for the next half hour, there’s flirty smiles & us just casually gravitating towards each other at the bar. He introduced himself to me & we spent the rest of the night talking, playing pool & I sang karaoke
He asked if he could add me on Facebook, obviously I said yes. We started talking more & more often. About two or three weeks later, we were dating https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☺️" title="Smiling face" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face">
& ya girl broke up with him two months later bc being a SR in HS, I wanted to party with my friends & just do whatever w/o feeling like I had someone I had to explain myself & decisions to.
About a year later, we start talking again. I’m living in Gonzales & he’s living in Lake Charles/Sulphur at the time. At first, it was just innocent friendship & like fate does, we gravitated towards each other. Again.
April 11, 2016 he came to Baton Rouge to take me on a date as soon as my shift at Charlotte Russe was over. That was the best & most comfortable date I have EVER been on.
He was talking to someone else at the time, but, lemme just say https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤤" title="Drooling face" aria-label="Emoji: Drooling face"> (he was technically single) We ended up having a falling out bc I had commitment issues bc I knew what he wanted & I wasn’t emotionally ready for it
We didn’t talk for 3 years, but, always kept tabs on each other. He looked happy & I was pretty content/happy with my life at the time. I had Harper.
When I left Zach, (if you know why, you know. I’m not gonna blast him on social media), I wasn’t okay. I still struggle. However, I wanted to reach out to Bryan but I didn’t want him to think I was going to him for an emotional crutch/rebound so
I was & still am still processing & healing over my relationship with Zach. (That’s a whole other thread lmao). I waited until I let Zach know how I was still feeling about him, not to get back together with him but to get it off of my chest.
That was about 1-2 weeks before Bry & I started talking again. I was dismissed & ignored. So, I let it go. I got it off my chest & that’s what my heart & soul needed. I sent Bry a friend request.
Now, the request was originally meant to be a friendship & for me to explain to him everything that’s happened between us & make amends w him. I sent him a message & said “hi! How are you?” Bc I was genuinely curious bc I know what he struggles with
We video chatted tht night & like fate, we gravitated again. That quote “someone can be better for u in 2 months than someone was for 2 years” applies perfectly. Seeing his face flooded me with emotions for him I wasn’t sure I still had.
It caught me off guard, he caught me off guard. The changes we’ve both gone through in the past four years was very visible. Easy, second nature is how it is with him.
& here we are. Utterly happy. & to finish this thread off, I owe no one an apology or explanation for my choices. If you’re not my child, I owe you nothing. Thank you for taking the time to read this long ass thread. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💛" title="Yellow heart" aria-label="Emoji: Yellow heart">
