He said I was beautiful while I was sitting on the couch in my work socks, hair up, face tired from a double shift.Not in a way that felt like he wanted something. Just said it, like he was noting the weather.
We have been seeing each other for three months. He is one of those people who makes you feel slow in the best way. Calm, funny, but also incredibly passionate in a quiet, firm and almost overwhelming way. I was not prepared for that last part. Not because of him. Because I never actually thought someone like him could even keep up with me, in that sense.
By the way, I stared at him for a second and then changed the subject completely. He let me. Did not push. I think about it every day since.
