October, 1997
The best times with Jevim aren't only when I'm there with him, but they do account for most of them.
I think the one of the happiest memories so far was this last visit, in September. It was the day before I was to come back home, a Saturday, and we had gone to the bagel shop we both like for breakfast. We were trying to decide what we wanted to do that day, and he kept asking me and I really didn't know, except to be with him and be close to him before I had to come back home to Missouri.
I finally turned the tables and asked what he wanted to do, and he said, "Buy two plane tickets to Vegas and elope..." Oh, how I wish we could have. But, as he said, his parents would kill him if he eloped. That wouldn't be good, and so we decided that probably wasn't our best choice. *chuckle* But it's the thought that counts.
Another nice memory was laying in bed, with me on my back, and him laying beside me on his side, his head pillowed on my shoulder and his arm wrapped around me. We stayed that way for a long while, just cuddling, me running my fingers through his hair...
And another, sort of similar memory, was on the fourth of July. We had gone to The Mall in Washington, DC, to see the fireworks. We got there mid-afternoon, and so we had time to kill, and we wound up sitting on the grass in the shade of one of the pavilions. I was sitting up with my legs crossed, and he was laying down on his back in front of me, with his head cradled in my lap. We held hands, and just took the time to enjoy being together as a couple.
Of course there's the memory of our first evening together, but I mentioned that in another section. *smile* (Read the entry about Love if you don't know what I'm talking about.)
