The Story of Meg and Me
Have you ever met someone and this feeling comes up? That instantaneous liking of the person. I really met Meg back at the start of school in lunch. Yeah, of course I knew who she was, but I really didn't know too much about her. Through the course of school and out of school, I got to know Meg better and she got to know me.
If there was a certain event that sealed the deal of my liking of Meg, it would definitely be Homecoming. I remember thinking that I wasn't going to go because I didn't have a date, but on the eve of Homecoming something changed my mind. Whatever it was, I'm glad it happened.
Homecoming was awesome, even though I had Pizza Hut for dinner, I have to say now that it ruled. I went with Heather, Erica, and Kelly, but I knew I wanted to find Ryan, Gregg, Bethany, and everyone else. I found them, and I was content. When Meg asked me to dance with her, I was more than happy to do so. I had a great time with her. Probably one of the most memorable nights of my life. When she left early, I remember being a little saddened. She said she'd be at Spencer's party. Since I was given an anytime curfew, I went there really to just see her. I mean I went there to see everyone else but she was on my mind the most.
I think that was the first time I had been at Spencer's. Probably the most memorable ever, too. I had a great time. I remember thinking about that is unbelievable how beautiful Meg looked, how nice and sweet she was, and how funny and quirky she was. Damn. She still is beautiful and cute, nice and sweet, and funny and quirky. When Spencer finally kicked the rest of us out, it was 2 am. I had my dress shoes on because I forgot to bring some regular shoes. Me and Meg said our good nights and she got in her car. I don't know what came over me, but as she started driving away I found myself running after her in my leather shoes. Now, it's not that easy to run in leather dress shoes because they don't bend like sneakers do. I remember her speeding up and turning a corner. I remember walking back to my car, getting in, and thinking,"Wow, that girl is great."
I slept more peacefully that night than I think I ever have. When I woke the next morning and went downstairs for breakfast, my parents asked about the night before. For a minute, I sat there, staring off into space. Then I looked at them and said, "It was fine." I smiled afterwards and thought "fine" is not really the adequate word for last night, numbskull. Blissful and perfect would be more exact. That night sealed the deal of my liking of Meg more than a friend.
I think it might have been a week or more later when Spencer pulled me aside in Consumer Ed class. He told me that Meg liked me and wanted me to ask her out. Spencer wanted to know what I thought and I told him to let me think about it. I had already been thinking about it. Thinking about it since the morning after homecoming. I knew I wanted to, but I'm shy guy, you see. Later on that week, I went and hung out with the group for the 2nd time. I think it was Andy, me, Gregg, Spencer, Bethany, Valerie, and Brittan. I'm pretty sure we rented and watched the movie "Orgazmo". Very funny movie by the way. I would definitely recommend you rent it. Anyways, while we were watching the movie, Bethany turned to me and asked me about what I thought about Meg liking me. I merely said I like it the idea. Even though I liked her a lot. For me, it's hard to ask a girl out. I mean really hard. Over the weeks, Spencer, Bethany, and Brittan were always asking me when I was going to ask Meg out. I told them before my birthday.
On the night of Elizabeth's Halloween Party, I went over to Meg's first. We talked for a while, then we watched Chicago. I wasn't feeling all that well. I completely destroyed a box of tissues. During the last period of the movie, Spencer called me asking where I was. I was supposed to be at Elizabeth's for the party, but I was having fun just being with Meg. When I left I thanked Meg for having me over, and putting up with me being sick. We hugged twice and I said good night. Had I not been sick I would have asked Meg out then and there, but I felt too miserable that night.
When I got over to Elizabeth's, the party was pretty much winding down. Niki, Elizabeth, and Spencer were on the stairs to the basement when I walked in. They asked me what me and Meg did. They joked and jeered with me a little, but I didn't really care. I just got to spend time with the girl I liked. Sick as a dog and as happy as a cat in a garden of catnip I was. Ironically, Sammy P. was there and she was sick as well." Two Sam's sick in same room is a bad thing," I thought. After a while, they gave me some drugs and I went home.
My birthday was coming up quick and I still hadn't asked Meg out." I'd better do this or I'm never going to do it at all." I thought. So on November 2nd, 2003, around 9:30 pm, I gathered my wits and my courage about me and dialed Meg's number. My stomach was instantly filled with butterflies. When she answered, I was almost about to hang up and forget, but I held on. I just small talked with her for a while. Then I just said," Meg, I really like you and I was wondering...if you would like to go out with me." I don't remember if these were my exact words or not, but after she said Of course, yes, yes, I remember being the happiest I'd ever been or could remember.
So 2 months and 2 days ago, I asked Meg out. It seems both like yesterday and years ago. One thing is certain, though. The amount of how much I like and trust Meg hasn't diminished. It has done the very opposite. It has grown. It has grown past the word "like." I have been in a couple of relationships before, but not one like this. Where there are days I can't stop thinking about her. From dawn to dusk, she is always on my mind For Christmas, I got her some things. I already gave her one of presents. It was my poem Days Have Gone By except I made the paper look old and bought a nice frame. What else I got her, you ask? I can't tell you that. It would ruin the surprise.
P.S. Don't forget to come back and read my other post below this one. I just woke up at 5:30 and had to type this. I'm done reminiscing for now. Well I got to go and watch Spiderman now.
