Just Kiss Already Blog Fest & Show Me the Love Blog Fest entries!

So here is the set up, Rocky took off the night before to avoid talking about commitment and now she is coming back home. She and Alex have a bit of an awkward silence, but then he breaks the tension:

“Did you really jump out of a window?” It was not actually question, he was laughing.     Taken off guard by the shift in tone, I could not hide my smile or prevent myself from snorting. “Hey, it's a balcony, not a window.”He shook his head and laughed again. We were good.I got up off the couch and walked over to the bathroom. The door ajar, it would be easy to see the tub from the sofa. And I knew exactly what I was doing. I shot one cocky glance over my shoulder and leaned in to turn on the shower. Just as the water began to run, two warm arms wrapped around my waist.Heat shot down my neck, his mouth against my skin. Alex crossed his hands over my hips and turned me around. Leaning back for a moment, he looked down at me, trying to read me. I stretched on my tip toes to reach his face again, but he lifted me off my feet, setting me on the edge of the sink, we were eye to eye. Our breathing was ragged. He leaned in but I the guilt was killing me, “I'm sorry.”His face turned slightly so that his mouth grazed my ear, “Don't be,” he touched my cheek, “I love you.”     The corners of my eyes ached and my throat felt heavy, “I love you too.” But I can't make you happy, I thought.  

So there you have it = ) Let me know what you think! Sorry it's up late!

And for the Show Me the Love Fest from The Writers Cocoon:
1-- What is the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for you?

Well, just yesterday Justin and I were watching a documentary about evolution from NOVA (a topic we completely disagree on) and after poking fun at each others views he laughed and said, "We're so different, I don't even know how you even like me." I said, "I don't know how you like me!" But then I listed a few things I really do love about him and asked him sheepishly, "Why do you like me?" He said, "Well, I guess because - most of the time- I think you're perfect." He said it so matter-of-fact-ly, it was like he was commenting on my hair color or something. He's not a sappy person, he's an eye roller, so when he said that I just about burst into tears : ) 

2- What is your favorite love song?

Monica's "Angel of Mine"

3- Do you have a favorite romantic movie or book?

Favorite movies have to be Romeo + Juliet and Crazy/Beautiful

4- Do you have any romantic plans for Valentine's Day this year?

I made risotto for the first time (terrifying!)

5- What's your favorite romantic treat? (candy, chocolate, edible body paint, etc...)

Anything I can eat when I'm curled up with him is my favorite treat.
