Countdown To 10. Chapter Two.

We had spent the remainder of the school year spending every waking minute with each other.
We went to the beach a lot and walked and talked.
We went to downtown Charleston and walked and talked.
I went home to Indiana with him during spring break. Where he introduced me to his mother ( Hi Paula ! ) as " Mom, this is my woman. " < I never let him forget that either......


As the school year wrapped up Brock and I both had to go back to our respective homes. He to Indiana and me to Massachusetts. Which, when you've got stars in your eyes is REALLY FREAKIN' FAR APART !

I think we spent about 4 or 5 weeks apart from each other.

GAH !
THE PAIN ! THE AGONY !

I'm sure that during this time I was totally off my rector and that if they thought they could have gotten away with it my parents surely would have murdered me.

We talked on the phone A LOT. I do have memories of my mother screaming at me about running up the phone bill.
We sent a lot of cards and letters.
I was like some sort of war bride running to the mailbox everyday.



As the weeks clicked by I had an opportunity to work in Maine for the the summer.
EVEN FURTHER AWAY FROM BROCK ! ! NOOOOO !!!!
I decided that I could no longer do without him, so I got him a job where I was working for the summer.


Upon hearing about said job, Brock got in his car ( an '89 escort ) and drove from Culver, Indiana to North Attleboro, Massachusetts in one day.
Which, if you're interested to know, is 927 miles.

I remember waiting and waiting and waiting for him to get to my house. I knew he was coming and it felt like an ETERNITY !

And then, the doorbell rang. And I ran to get it like my ass was on fire.
We made out on my parent's front porch for at least 5 minutes or so.

We also had ( most deadly silent ) sex on my parent's pull out sofa in the living room in the middle of the night that night.
Shhhh...don't anyone tell my dad.
Don't misunderstand....I took the lid off the cookie jar long before this point.

_______________________________________________

Not long ago I asked Brock why he drove from Indiana to Massachusetts in one day.
This is what he said;

" I was 20, horny and I HAD TO SEE YOU ! "

_______________________________________________

The neat little bow on the end of this chapter is that Brock asked me to marry him ( he had a ring and everything ! ) at the end of the summer.
We'd been together for less than a year.
I'm sure everyone we knew thought we were totally nuts.

Random Brock fact #2:
My mother was completely enamored with Brock upon first meeting him as he has proved to be the only person in the universe that can make reasonably behave myself - something she was never able to achieve.


Chapter 3 tomorrow.
