a tangent, a tale

this branched off from a response i gave on the taurus board. just wanted to be sappy.

i was to meet my bf at his house after he got outta practice at the end of february. when i arrived i noticed his car wasn't there. so, being as it was a gorgeous night, i took a stroll around his block a couple of times. he still didn't show. i couldn't call to ask cuz, of course, i happened to leave my phone at my best friend's pad. then i sat on his porch for a good 10 minutes and he still didn't appear. as i sat there i realized that i wasn't panicky or jumping to conclusions in my head. why? because this has never happened before. he's always been prompt and he's never stood me up. i left him a note stating that i'm sure something must have happened but i didn't wanna wait any longer. i returned to my best friend's place a half hour later to find that he was blowing my phone up! he called, texted, worried that i was mad at him, and was extremely apologetic and remorseful to the point of calling himself names. basically, he just lost track of time. he said he'd been like that all week and i wasn't the only one affected from his fog head. he then made it up to me the following weekend. like i said, he's an incredibly busy guy, but he cleared his agenda to where i was able to spend saturday night and most of sunday with him. he bought all the groceries, cooked both dinner and breakfast, and cleaned up!

somehow we wound up talking about our relationship that night. we weren't picking it apart at all. instead it was almost like a meeting of hearts and minds to reflect and admire it. we had an amazing time together over that weekend. he got a hold of me on monday at work and we resumed our routine but the interactions were brief. then i didn't hear from him until that following friday (he left to go on tour thursday; the infamous 2-3 day silent span). he continued to contact me every day while he was away. this time was different than the others though. he was more playful than usual and seemed really happy. however, he started to show signs of possessiveness and insecurity even! he "joked" a couple of times of how i have a new bf or am gonna leave him for another guy. ok, he's never been like that before, but whatever. we were teasing each other one of the nights, i got a little too caught up in competition, and told him that if he was trying to make me dislike him then i could "flip the switch and our light goes out". (cont.)

long pause. then,"wow. impressive. i couldn't do that." he became very serious suddenly. we've joked like that in the past and it wasn't a big deal. still, i apologized for taking it too far. also, we've been in an open relationship this whole time. we openly communicate everything. i told him about how these 2 guys tried to hold me hostage in their house (exaggerrated) and sleep with me. they weren't actually keeping me there but they were trying to get down. i told my bf how my bass player rescued me from them in the end and his response,"GOOD." in all caps, yes. a couple of days later i ask him to shower me with his stories on the road. he said he has one for me but he can't text it to me. i tell him that he could give me a call to actually talk and he refused. i have to hear it in person i guess.

i find out tonight what this story is all about.
