Speaking of crushes, I keep going back to my younger days (yea, all of 20 odd years ago!) when I lived on the island. There was a group of people I hanged out with and we had a great time. There was a doctor, a lawyer, a couple of diplomats, a couple of liaisons (their title), and me. (I was a student teacher at the time – I actually had my own classroom too).
We used to party from Thursday to Sunday. Most times I would be getting home with just a couple of hours to get to work. Man those were the days!
I was introduced to a guy, whose name I won’t mention, but still remember. He was to me gorgeous. And yes, those eyes, were absolutely gorgeous! He was just a well-put together specimen!
We went out as a group and I just liked this guy a lot. Then one day my best friend told me he felt the same about me. I was astounded! Although I was pretty outgoing I was still such an awkward person, I felt that way and hearing he had a mad crush for me too made me even more nervous! Ha!
He asked me out on a date and I decided to go. We went to dinner first which was fabulous. Then we went dancing and we danced all night.
When he dropped my home, well, his kiss was just everything it should be! Needless to say I was floating on air when I went to bed! Haha
He invited me to lunch at his place and I decided what the heck I was going to go. We had a good time, food was good, conversation was great, and the company was great.
We made out a bit but that was all. I was seriously tempted to go all the way believe me. At the time I was still at virgin (at 18). I have a feeling he knew that. Perhaps that’s why he held off, good man he was. I also think that if we had it would have meant a lot more to me than him. So I’m grateful to him for resisting my womanly wiles!
We didn’t go out alone again after that. He didn’t hang around us much after that. I always wondered about that, and I still do. Since traveling back and forth over the years I’ve heard that he asks about me from time to time, but that was a long time ago. The last I heard he was in Australia somewhere working. I do wish I could see him again. I don’t think that would happen though.
So there you have it, my first really serious crush. Truth be told I still have a crush on him, he’ll always have a special place in my heart just because!
