.our love story-part two.

.love story part 1 here.

.and there i was.

.finding myself talking to "awestensee" often in the evening while doing my homework.

.was a growing attracted to him.

.heck no.

.did i still think he was a geek?

.heck yes.

.did we become good friends and talk more on a friend level outside of class.

.no.

.apparently, we just liked being "homework friends" and thats all it was for 3-4 months.

.than december came around. december 2005. we had a church christmas party. i was helping clean up, and andrew was too. there were stages that needed brought back to another building about 20 minutes away--andrew's job. i offered to help load them up for him to take over. once loaded, i saw that he was driving alone, and offered to go with him to drive over and help put them away.

.he was shocked, that

a.) i offered help

b.) a girl offered help

c.) that i talked to him outside of just messaging back and forth

d.) that i offered help. lol

.the drive there and back flew by, as we just talked. about nothing in particular. just had a good conversation...i was really starting to like this boy.

.i always remembered andrew promising EVERY girl in our ward that he would take them on a date when they turned 16. of course, before I would of never even wanted to go on a date with him (and on my 16th birthday i was still in a relationship)....but now, it was something that i was interested in. 

.i teased him and teased him about "owing me a date" and at the time he was NOT excited about it. he finally set up a double date with some other friends. (i later found out, he set this up just to get it over with...and of course, the other girl on the double date andrew ALWAYS had feelings for). we went to goodwill and tried on ridiculous outfits. we picked out one thing for everyone to try on. that was the day andrew walked from one side of the store to the other in alligator skin high heels. we left with gloves for our next adventure. 

.ice skating.

.it was a complete blast. i think we ice skated for 1-2 hours and just had SO much fun. on our way out, we bought hot chocolate and headed to the car to go home. somehow, i spilled hot chocolate ALL over Andrew's hand (covered by those thin gloves)....he wasnt mad. we still laugh about it to this day. and i kept those pink thin gloves for a while, because they smelled like hot chocolate still and reminded me of the day i really really started falling for this guy.

.andrew had gone into the date, just trying to get it over with, and for me to leave him alone....but left also starting to really fall for me.
