) Hey Bri... Margo probably told you that Marty and I are coming up to Fran and Tom's next weekend (the 18-20th) but I wanted to write you and tell you myself too...
...and FINALLY tell you how much I loved the story you sent me (the prom and our "first time"). You wrote that for a CLASS?? Sheez I hope you didn't have to read it aloud, lol...
Margo told me on the phone how funny you felt sending me that...why sweetie? Because I'm married now? Marty knows what we did that night... he was there, remember. He always says how he thinks it's so cool that we all went to the prom together! I don't think he'd feel funny about what you wrote either (but I'm not in a hurry to show it to him... )
Your writing though brought it all back... so much of it made me laugh out loud: all the nerves and the anticipation, how nervous you were about getting those stupid rubbers...the stuff about us going for dinner, and you trying to talk Marty into asking "his dream girl" out....all the calls and the chattering with margo the whole two weeks beforehand... and so much stuff made me cry when I read it... the stuff about my Dad for obvious reasons... I miss him so much... and the stuff about you and Margo: her pinning the rose on your lapel and then you two dancing... I remember saying that, it did look like a movie...and the thing I totally forgot about, at Margo's parents' when you came out into the front room and saw Marty and me and said "Whoa! Deja vu!" Isn't that so weird? (Marty'd forgotten about that too; he said "Yeah, that's right. I remember him saying that.")
But what it brought back most of all was that night in my room and how goofy and nervous and happy and scared and everything I felt about it, and you too... and mainly--now I hope I don't embarrass YOU-- but it brought back how great it felt to be your girlfriend and give myself to you for the first time.
All I can say is you captured it perfectly, it made me feel shy and sad and happy...made me laugh out loud (the stuff about you fumbling with the pack of rubbers, and then me asking you to turn on the ballgame afterwards... I totally forgot about that too!)...
as for your description of the act itself: *g* wow!
Brian you are special to me, you always have been and always will be. Even those couple years when we were out of touch you were always in my heart and now that we are back in touch and we've found our soulmates you still are. How funny that for both of us it was people we'd known all along; well, I always knew it with you and margo. The day she called me from Canada and told me that you two had finally 'crossed the line" as she puts it was one of the happiest of my life. I always saw you two together and I'm so glad to finally see you as the couple I always knew you could be.
Still I think you understand what I mean when I say that even though we've found our true loves, and Marty is the one for me and Margo is the one for you, you dwell in a special place in my heart that nobody else can ever go near. An innocent place, one that makes me feel 17 in my heart and spirit. A beautiful place that makes me feel happy and lucky.
So, no, it didn't make me feel funny, and I'm sorry I took so long telling you how much i liked it Bri.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful writing with me, and thank you for making me a part of it, but mostly thank you for what you gave me back then and for what we shared. I love you very much.
I can't wait to see you and Margo and Becca next weekend. Let me know what we need to bring.
xoxoxo love you Christy
