And "the talk" came

Last night as i was leaving work at 8 p.m. "the boy" calls to see if he can bring me dinner to work. I was on my way out and said no, no its fine-leaving now. He decides to bring me din at home. After i change, feed Romeo and lie on the couch to relax-he comes over. Tulips in hand, made me salmon, salad, veggies-just what i like. Big smile and a kiss to top it off. Let's just say that was sweeeeeeet.
As we lie in bed he asks me, "how do you feel about me?"
I reply with spilling my guts...i love being with you, it is so great the time we have spent. Followed by all the reasons why i like him.
He asks me, "how do you feel about us?"
I make him answer first. "I would do anything for you, i am head over heels-and it scares me."
I ask him why it scares him?
He says he just hasn't felt this way in a long time. Scared we may be jumping into something. Its happened fast.
I tell him i have the same reservations although i explain to him that i know what i want, i have had many, many relationship experiences and have learned from them.
He asks, "do you want to be with just me?"
I say, "yes!"
He says, "me too!"
The words: together, commitment, boyfriend/girlfriend was never used though.

I wake up to kisses, wonderful complimentary words as we get ready for work together. We stop at starbucks on our way to work. He gives Romeo some sweet goodbyes and then me. What a way to start the day?

I forgot one part....one very crucial part of the talk. He says, "i have wanted to say I LOVE YOU many times and i have held back."
I was floored. I have decided long ago...those are strong words, i won't say them first, and i will mean the hell out of them when i say them. I didn't feel like we were there yet.
I say to him, "those are strong words, very strong. I don't feel they should be used until we can't stand it anymore and we absolutely feel that way."
He completely agrees with me. He decides instead of saying those words he will just say, "i love being with you."
I roll over in his arms and fall fast asleep, completely satisfied with what we have discussed and what he has said to me.

I forgot one more part....forgive me....its morning! He sang to me last night in bed...Frank Sinatra. It was so funny. We were laughing at his terrible voice!
