Another Test

Ran errands with Von. He didn’t say a word about my stupid mouth the night before. In fact, if it’s even possible, I think he’s happier than I’ve seen him yet. Maybe I’m just imagining that. Who knows.

We have plans to go up to Ronnie’s tonight and meet some of the old school friends. I’ve never been so excited for my friends to meet my boyfriend…EVER! I know they will fall completely head over heals for him, just as I have. And he’s excited too. No apprehension whatsoever. I remember once trying to get MOB to go over there and meet my friends. He acted as if I asked him to drown his first-born child in a bathtub of fecal matter. But not Von. He can’t wait. We get caught up in an afternoon of rolling around in bed which slightly delays our trip to Ronnie’s house. But eventually we summon all our will power and get ready to go.

NYC and Teach go up with us. Ronnie and two of his roommates, Bach, Luk and Bama are all there. We barbeque and play cards and poker and generally shoot the shit. Von fits in like he’s always been a part of our clique. Even Ronnie seems to really like him. I watch Ronnie and Bach watch Von watch me. And when they see the way he looks at me and holds me and smiles at me, they know I’m going to be okay. This guy is not an asshole like MOB. That they can see immediately. It seems as if I finally made a good decision in the love department. I know I have. But there validation only makes me feel that much better about it.

We leave at midnight and Von has nothing but wonderful things to say about the friends I hold so dear to my heart. Knowing they feel the same about him brings the night to a perfect close.
