Leonard Bishop // My Prince Charming

Hello! =] Lets see, where to begin at first... This is another slightly older post from one of my other blogs, but I wanted to post it on here too. Since this is what I'm going to be using from now on. At least till I get bored of it. lol Just kidding! This will speed you up on what's been going on in my life and so called 'love life', with someone who is very special to me. I apologize if some of the words are past tensed a little or the days don't make complete sense, but like I said I wrote it a week or two ago so just bare with me till I get you up to date. Okay? :)

On October 26th 2007, which was a Friday night, I met this amazing guy. His name is Leonard, but you can call him Leo if you want. I usually call him Quickie Poo though. Yes, that's an inside joke so don't ask. lol Here's the story though.... My friend Josh called me up Friday night and asked if he and a friend could stop by my new house and hang out. I was a little hesitant because I didn't know who his friend was, but I said yes anyway. My sister went with me to help clean and do whatever I had to do, but of course she ended up just watching tv with Josh. lol It was slightly awkward at first, but only for a few minutes. I had the most amazing time with him that night. We talked for a while, and then he decided to attempt to show me some different dances. That was interesting because I'm not very coordinated at times. lol Oh and yes he does dance, you heard me right. Him and his sister have been taking lessons since she graduated highschool. I think that's the sweetest thing ever too! We were standing outside at like 11:30 at night or so, getting ready to go but Josh and my sister wouldn't come on, because they were still watching TV. I gotta be honest about something... I didn't want him to leave at all. We were leaning up against my car, he was holding me in his arms and the way he looked at me was breath taking. There's no doubt about it, I could have stood there in his arms forever. It's so weird how we just fell for each other at first sight pretty much. Well I don't know about him, but I can tell you I defiantly fell for him the moment that he walked through my door. It's not like I planned that though because who would have ever guessed I'd be falling for a friend of Josh. lol In the back of my head I wasn't sure how he felt or what he thought of me, I mean I didn't know anything about him. I didn't want to get close to anyone or fall for another guy anytime soon, because after what I've been through in the past 3 years you'd know why. I keep telling myself I want fall for another guy, but it's like I end up doing it all over again. But just when I had decided to not let anyone close to me anymore for good, that's when he has to walk into my life. Okay, so I'm not complaining but it was just really hard. I'm so afraid of getting hurt and losing someone else that I get close to. You have no idea either! That's enough about that--it's getting depressing. After that night we started texting and talking on the phone some and it just went from there. Thank God he's Verizon. haha That's a major plus. lol

I didn't get to see him again till the 29th (Monday). Which let me say felt like forever. Josh and him picked me up and we went to a Haunted Trail. I had never been to one before and he knew that so of course he had to take me. lol Oh my gosh, I had so much fun though. It scared me, just a little, but it was a blast. I held his hand like the whole time literally and I hung on to Josh too. lol No I wasn't scared at all! haha After that we all went to a movie and saw The Life of Dan, or something like that. It was stupid, and of course Josh was the one who wanted to see it. But I didn't mind because I was with Leonard. :) By the way he paid for my movie and for the Haunted Trail. He even opens the door for me and all that sweet stuff. I'm not use to all this, but I like it alot. It shows how much he truly respects me. After the movie we were riding back to my house, it was late and we were in the backseat talking while Josh was blasting music. lol All the sudden a Linkin Park song came on, I think it was Bleed It Out, but anyways. We kissed.... for the first time. I was a little hesitant but it was absolutely amazing. Words cant even begin to describe what I felt. Before they dropped me off we were talking and I told him I was scared of getting close to him because I didn't want to lose him. I care for him so much already, it's crazy. But he said everything happens for a reason and it's going to be okay. And he's right it will be okay because we're not in a hurry and we've got all the time in the world. I just want to get to know him first and spend time together. You have to start somewhere and just take it slow. Because like I said, rushing into things never gets you anywhere. So as you can tell my second night with him was once again amazing. It's hard to believe that was only the second time we had been together, it feels like I have known him alot longer.

We saw each other again on the 30th (Tuesday), it still felt like forever again, but it had only been a day. lol I can't help it! He came over to my new house and helped me for a while and we hung out and just talked. I got my refrigerator and oven for my house Tuesday and they had to be cleaned majorly. lol The fridge had like nasty mold crap in it. Ewww! He helped me clean most of it because he knew I didn't want to touch it one bit. What guy helps you clean though... Not many, that's for sure. He was like I'm not here just for my good looks, I can't just stand here while you do everything. lol So he actually helped, which yes if you cant tell amazes me that a guy would actually make an effort to help me. I didn't want him to leave once again.... I could have stayed there forever. But we both had to go home because it was getting late.

We were able to see each other again on the 31st (Wednesday), which I didn't expect to happen because he
was suppose to be working that night at there house, fixing something. But I was sooo glad we got to after all! He picked me up around 6pm and I got to meet his parents. They're really nice people, and alot of fun too. :) Get this... my dad thought he knew who they were when I started telling him about them, and go figure he did. They own Leonard Bishop Transmission and that's where dad gets some of his trucks worked on. It's such a small world after all. I had been there several times with dad to drop vehicles off and I was like this looks familiar, and it was who we thought it was. That's so crazy that I'm just not meeting him when he's been there all along and I never knew it. Well, it took me 18 years to meet an amazing guy like him but that's okay. Not quite 18 years obviously, but still long enough. lol I'm not about to let this one go either, there's not a chance of that happening if I can help it. :) Well what we did Wednesday was go with his parents to Carowinds just to pick up his highschool ring that he had lost last weekend when he was there. Yeah, we drove that far for a ring and turned right back around to come home. lol It's okay though because as long as I was with him it didn't matter what we did or where we went. I slept on his chest half the time going anyways because I was really tired and I haven't felt that good either. It didn't really feel like it took us that long, but it might have been because we were a little pre-occupied. ;) Okay so here's the good part.... We dropped his parents off and he took me home. He asked me to be his girlfriend.... but I couldn't say anything. I felt awful but I didn't know what to say, I had a million things going through my head and I was completely speechless. I can't even explain it. I sat there for like half an hour saying nothing and trying my hardest not to cry. I know he probably thought I was crazy or something though. lol I finally just told him that I do like him alot, but I'm not ready to be in another relationship. As bad as I wanted to say YES, part of me still couldn't. He said he understood an I hope he really does, because he means alot to me. I like him so much and I've never felt this way about anyone before, honestly. He told me it was okay and promised me he wasn't going anywhere. I've been told that so many times before and it never meant anything, they eventually just walked out of my life for some reason and broke my heart. But life had to move on and if it hadn't of I would have never met Leonard. :) That's something to smile about right there. lol So I'm glad he's not going anywhere, because I don't want to lose him ever. I really want him in my life, even if for some reason we don't work out, I still need him as a friend. So I hope that part will never change between us. I mean once I truly care about someone I will forever, it may change a little in some aspects, but I will always stand by my word.

To sum everything up he's simply amazing. I say that alot but it's the only word I know that really describes it. I mean no one's perfect I know that, because I'll be the first to say I am far from it, but he's just...... Gah, I can't even talk I'm in such amazement. He's so respectful and treats me the way I or any girl for that matter should be treated. He has a great personality, he's sweet, funny, nice, caring, loving, fun to be with, he even opens doors, and pays for things, like I said before. What more can you ask for? lol He was brought up by two wonderful parents, by what I can tell at least, and that's defiantly a good thing. He dances which is really awesome too. Not many people know this (well now they will), but I've always wanted to learn how to dance. I can but you know what I mean. I'm told he can cook really good, and we already know he cleans. lol When I'm with him he sings like every song that comes on the radio, and I love hearing his voice. It makes me smile! :) I especially love when he calls me in the mornings just to talk for a minute, before we both have to go to work. That means alot to me too. See it's the simple things that mean the most..... I could go on and on about him but for now I think you all get the general idea.

So now that you all know what's going on in my life and all..... lol I'm really happy though! =] Meeting Leonard has been amazing and I've loved every second I get to spend with him. Like I said I've never felt such a strong connection with anyone before. I don't know what it is to be honest, but I'm willing to stick around and find out. I hope that feeling is mutual though. He's truly my Prince Charming....
