he had been on the phone with scram and the ranks ( i think) for a while, and he had come back inside kind of down; he was out of cigarettes and out of friends in nashville. he said he just wanted friends and to be in fayetteville. and i said i know, im sorry. ill be your guy friends. and then we realized that i was really bad at it. and then i lost it. sometimes i forget that he's here for me. he's the most selfless person i know and it was suddenly enveloping. and i was sobbing, thanking him, not in words so much, for being here with me.
later, when i had thanked him silently through my tears, and regained a normal level of acute emotion, he stopped and turned to me:
jake: do you have any plans for Friday night?
me: no. ummm, no, not at all.
jake: cause i wanted to take you out to dinner. i was thinking we could go get sushi and then go to the wine loft.
me: wait, like a date!?!?
jake: yea, i want to take you out. it'll be your night, whatever you want. i just know you've wanted sushi lately. and you can get dressed up.
me: Really!??! Okay, YES!!!
Jake: is that okay? i just want to take you out.
(Grinning) yessssss!
Jake: ok, good.
me: Jake, I'm so excited. you're wonderful.
Jake: no, sarah, you're wonderful. you're my favorite thing. what are you going to wear?
me: my new black dress from scarlet and my new gianni bini shoes!!!
and then he kissed me.
