How We Met- Roxie
Okay, where do I even begin? I guess that the beginning would be nice. I first met Trey in the chatroom. He was an operator, as was I. My ex and I had broken up and I just needed someone to talk to... So I found Trey on my messenger list. We started to talk... and then we ended up talking on the phone somehow. At first we only talked a couple of hours, and then it progressed to a lot more. We talked to each other ever single night after he came back from camp meeting. Before he went to camp meeting, I had people private messaging me telling me that he liked me. I knew this already though because I could tell by the way he acted. People would ask me what we were and I would say, "We are friends... just friends." And we were just friends... We had become close best friends. So my vacation came around the corner. I made plans on going to North Carolina with Betty and seeing her sister/my friend Melanie and her family... along with Sheila and her family. I also was planning on meeting my friend Jennifer from online that had just moved to NC from FL. Unfortunately (well it isn't unfortunate now), Betty's boss changed her vacation on her by two weeks. So, I was stuck with a vacation and no where to go! On the 18th of July going into Saturday morning, I stayed up and talked all night with Trey. He kept telling me how much he wanted to meet me. The feelings were mutual. I just wanted to meet this guy who had given his attention to me when I was so broken. I wanted to meet this guy who had become my best friend. So, Saturday morning, I get this idea in my head (not just by me sticking it there, but by Trey pressing it a few times) to go ahead and take a vacation by myself. Trey hinting me on to come to Kentucky said, "You know you can still take a vacation." So, that day plans started being made... He actually started making them himself, Without even asking me if he should. He first asked his Dad about having a friend stay. His Dad said "Ask you Mom." So, Trey asked his Mom and his Mom sounded a little edgy about it. Eventually, she said yes. And it was my turn to do the asking. I was so nervous. Dad was outside so I went to Mom... I asked her what she thought about me going away for a few days since it was my vacation and if she thought Dad would take me to the bus terminal or not. She said that he would and to ask him. So, I waited a few minutes and asked Dad who was cutting the grass. He didn't sound very happy when I told him to come here. He pulled his way up the hill and wanted to know what was so important to ask that I had to make him climb the hill in which he was in the middle of cutting. I asked him if I decided to take a trip to Kentucky would he be able to drop me off at the bus terminal. He said Yes and gave me a lecture about being safe and you hardly know this guy kinda speech. As soon as he said that he would take me, I started to pack! I only had 4 hours or so to pack before leaving. I began to get nervous because I was actually going to do it. I couldn't believe of how spontaneous I had become that day. So, I had packed and I was ready to go get a ticket. I decided to go to Weirton to get the ticket. I pulled up to the place and I saw a sign on the door that said, "Bus Tickets 8 am to 4 pm." My heart fell. The nervousness turned into a sickness in which I can't describe it. In the back of my mind I thought I was going to have to call Trey up and tell him that I wasn't going to be able to make it. That he had cleaned up his room for nothing. Oh yes, that is something I failed to mention. Trey had started to clean his room up a few days before I departed. So, I open the door of Weirton's bus terminal and ask if that sign was true. Truly, it had been too late to get a ticket. I put on my thinking cap and told Dad that before I gave up there were two more places to stop. I told him Steubenville and we went over there. We got there in a couple minutes because it isn't far from Weirton. I told Dad to go in and see if they were still selling tickets. He went in and then came back out... He told me that the person had gone on break and would be back in 5 minutes! I didn't care if the person was on break or not. I just wanted to know if I would be on the next bus out. We wait a few more minutes then Dad goes back in. He comes out saying, "The bus leaves at 7:30 for Columbus and then connects from there to Cincinnati." I was excited and nervous again. I got out of the truck and told Dad to bring in my bags. I had to wait for the lady because she was on the phone with someone else that was purchasing a ticket in advance. Her and her husband owned the shop where the terminal was. Her husband was all flirty and asking me tons of questions like, "Where are you going?", "Who are you seeing?" and "Is he your boyfriend?" I had all the answers though. His wife had gotten off the phone and was ready to help me. I purchased a ticket after much preparation. I had to call Trey to make sure that the addy he was picking me up at was the same one as the one she was sending me too... :) Trey sounded excited when I talked on the phone with him those couple of minutes. I know I was excited. I still couldn't believe that I was doing it. Anyways, about 6:50 or so I had my ticket in hand and was awaiting the bus. I remembered during this time that I forgot to pack shampoo so I bought some there. It was expensive too... But, I needed it. While waiting, the guy had his dog come out of the room in which he was hiding him... and had him do all kinds of tricks. It was cute.. Then they had their bird do some tricks...It talked and they gave this bird some Pepsi in a bottle cap and it was drinking it like we would in a cup... It was cute. During all this time, I was getting nervous. My mind was wondering to different places. I was trying to picture us meeting and what would happen... I was hoping that he would like the "real" me. Not that I was putting on a face online... but you don't really know that much about a person online then like you see them in person. You can see body language and different expressions in which you can't see online. The trip was long and tiring. I don't think my behind was ever so uncomfortable before than on that ride down to Kentucky. I couldn't sleep much due to crying kids and alarms that people didn't know how to shut off. But the trip was well worth it... I arrived at Cincinnati and my heart was beating fast... I was nervous. I was excited that I was gonna get to see my best friend. I got off the bus, claimed my luggage, and proceeded to walk into the terminal. I looked around for a while and didn't see anyone that looked familiar. So, I walked over between two walls where some benches were and had a seat. I figured that Trey just hadn't arrived yet. So, I continued just looking around for him. I noticed this guy that sorta resembled the looks of Trey at the end of the terminal. I wasn't sure if it was him or not. So, I called him on my cell phone. And he picked up... Butterflies were fluttering in my tummy. It was him down there. So, I told him that I was hanging up and would make my way down there... So, I made my way down there... still nervous... and was greeted by the most wonderful guy. I reached over and gave him a hug. He greeted me with a rose and a SoBe. What more could a girl want! We walked to the car... He had put my bags in and then opened up the door for me.. I got in and then he got in. I spoke to his parents... I can't really remember much of what was said.. I guess because of that nervous feeling and stuff. He had pulled a SoBe out of a cooler for himself. He said, "What you didn't think I was gonna sit and watch you drink a SoBe and be tortured?" Okay it was something on those lines. So we ended up at his house.... His mom gave me a vase for my rose... and I got settled in. His parents said it was okay if we stayed up the whole night. Either way, it was someones suggestion. So we stayed up all night. We stayed up talking... listening to music. I believe it was when our song "You" by Tonéx came on that the atmosphere changed in the room. We were looking into each others eyes. Or at least I was looking into his... and I kept looking down at his lips... Deep in me I guess I wanted more than us being "the best of friends." We kissed. Well, there was like a conversation going on right before it happened. I couldn't answer him of his questions like "Why you keep looking at my lips." I remember telling him that I was looking at his whole face. Somehow, he ended up easing in for the kiss. .. We looked into each others eyes and that is when I asked... "What are we?" Inside I just had to know and was hoping it was more than just friends. I felt bad that I had kissed him and we were just friends. I didn't want my first kiss to be to just a friend. If I would have left Kentucky without him as my guy, my first kiss wouldn't have been that special. Not for it to sound harsh or bad or anything... it is just so much more special to me knowing that we are more than friends. So, he asked what I wanted us to be. I told him that I wanted to be "yours." He said, "My What?" I wanted to be his girl... and I told him that. Then he asked me if I would be his girl! And I said Yes! That is the beginning of this wonderful relationship...stay tuned for the rest of the story *winks*
