Exclusive

I decide that it was time to be exclusive. we had been doing this thing for a while and perhaps I should only be caring about his attention. So I said it, "lets be exclusive". "ok" he answered. Very anticlimactic but it was a yes nonetheless. I was getting ready to be shipped out sometime soon, no definite date but soon. He was getting ready to change schools. We decided that this could be what we wanted it to be, a meaningful relationship that would end when the times change.

I enjoyed being attached to him. We were doing all the same things as before, hanging out, laundry, and shopping but it was different this time we would hold hands and steal kisses. It was great. It was more than something to pass the time away. I felt good about myself. I loved the way he looked at me, the way he hung on my every word. He was all the attention I had been looking for. Then my ship out date came.

I was to go to Hawaii to meet my ship in March. So there was a date now for this thing to end. It was fun while it lasted but I was a little sad. We discussed perhaps trying to make it a long distance relationship but we both new it wouldn't work out. We both knew that we would find another person to fill the void that would be left. So in the end we were trying to take advantage of the time we had left, two weeks. One night as we were discussing what our plans were for the next coming months I turned to him and said "Marry me" and he said "ok".
