ENTRY 3: FOR THE WEEK OF 18 JANUARY
Hi guys!
Sorry I'm late on the draw with this entry for last week. There's a ton going on; lots of exciting stuff.
As always, allow me to remind you to keep sending in comments. I've got a bit of a frowny-face going on for last week's entry, because I got many fewer comments and many fewer ratings than on the first entry. Please, please, please, please leave a rating, even if you hate everything below, and please consider leaving a comment as well, even if it's a one-word thing, something like "Good.". It means a lot!
If you haven't checked the previous entries, please do, because there's some detail about my life in there which I do not repeat here.
* * *
It was a big week this week. It was massive. Both I and Matt went in really loaded, with super big expectations. I can't help but feel that I was more hyped up about us having sex than he was. I've said it before -- this relationship makes me feel I'm back in high school. But I've never felt so... well, 'giddy' about things. I hate the word, but it's a good description of how I felt. I had butterflies in my stomach, but I was also jumping up and down, totally ready to go. It must sound kinda crazy, but I couldn't even sleep at night.
We didn't see each other on Monday. Matt's parents were due to come back on Thursday, so we had a lot of time to spare. (My place was, of course, occupied by my family.) Matt actually invited me over on Monday. I ended up going over on Tuesday. I lied to him, and said that I was busy Monday night. It wasn't that I didn't want to see him or anything like that -- almost exactly the opposite. It wasn't even a period-clearing thing, the day after, whatever. I actually wanted to build up my body's expectation of what was coming. I was totally lusting the whole day. Thinking about him, thinking about what was going to happen... the whole deal.
Sarah, my best friend, called me on Monday. She's having a birthday party on the 1st of February. We had fun talking about it, and I helped her plan it out, so that took up a lot of my time.
I had already coordinated with Matt on the birth control. He sat me down once it was clear that we had become a bit more serious and explained to me that he wasn't a fan of condoms. And then, in a very diplomatic and round-about way, he asked me if I'd consider taking some sort of birth control. I was fine with that, and agreed that I would see my doctor about getting back on the pill. I've already been on the pill before with other guys, so that's never really been much of a problem for me, and it doesn't effect me in any weird way, as far as I can tell. And I can totally understand his side of it. It's always seemed to me that condoms are off once a couple becomes serious, anyway. It's sort of like a rite of passage thing, I guess. From the start of dating, I made my mind up that if I liked a guy a lot I wanted him in me naturally. Condoms don't play a massive difference in terms of feeling from my perspective, but Matt explained that he basically feels it cramps his style. And I want him in me anyway. No problems!
We both vouched for our clean bill of health regarding STDs. And we both offered to go to the doctor to get a check up and blood test -- we both assured each other, though, that tests weren't needed, and that we trusted one another. I don't regret that decision, and I know we're both totally fine in that regard. But I remember getting pretty brainwashed from classes in high school about always getting checkups before each relationship gets serious, and whatever. So I still think about it. But we'll be okay.
On Tuesday I woke up and the anticipation was killing me. I've never yearned for somebody as much as I was then. It was almost hard to function on a basic level. When I get nervous before a big event, like public speaking or something, the throat always feels as if it's tightened, and it gets hard to breathe and swallow. And that's how I felt then.
I went over in the afternoon, at about 6pm. I was practically jogging down to his place. And all the while I was thinking about how to approach the situation. It's never easy, and I know, never over think it, right? But sex usually happens naturally. Like, you're making out and things just naturally spiral into sex. But I was going over there for the express purpose of having sex with him. I knew it, and Matt knew it too. And it wasn't like I was going to step inside his house and just strip my clothes off. There had to be at least a little bit of tact involved.
So I got there and rang the doorbell and Matt opened the door real fast, like he was waiting for me. I shouldn't have worried that much, because it happened naturally -- totally straight from make-out into sex. As I stepped from the cold into his really warm house, I fell into his arms.
We started kissing each other, feeling each other up, right there and then. It was something like 40 degrees out, blistering cold (at least for me... too sensitive?), so I had a lot of clothes on. We held each other in the hallway there for quite some time, just kissing. Maybe he was trying to get me warm, because I was quite cold, despite him having all the heaters going in the house. When it's winter, it's winter, you know? But it was a nice feeling, as it always is: lots of rubbing noses and light pecks.
Eventually he carried me up to his room, up the stairs like last time. And he set me down on the bed. (By the way, I looked for my funky panties that he stole. No where to be seen. I swear he's probably got a box or a briefcase full of girls' panties that he's pilfered over the years. If I find his stash, I'll let you know.) As we sat on the edge of the bed we made out some more. I was getting hot and wet, and he was getting into it as well, both of us in anticipation of what was about to go down.
