Late August

Emailing late at night became the norm with Edward and me. I would find myself staying up way pass my bedtime, not going to sleep til the wee hours of the morning. Even if I had work the next day at seven in the morning, it didn't matter.

I sacrificed a couple hours of sleep each night just so I could have more time to chat with Edward.

It didn't bug me much, except when I was required to wake up with only five or less hours of sleep and expected to have the energy for a full work day.

I really liked talking to him, it was so rare to find someone I had some much in common with and that I felt as comfortable talking to.

I started to find it hard to concentrate at work the more and more I talked to Edward on a deeper level, getting to know all about him.

I was too hyped up, too excited to do anything. I would constantly find myself smiling at just the thought of him and I would have to quickly hide my smile so my coworkers wouldn't think I was strange or ask why I was smiling.

It was a nerve racking, stressful yet wonderful feeling.

I couldn't even remember the last time I had smiled, had something to smile about or been happy.

It started to scare me a little too, how close I was letting him in, how deep Edward had affected me in my life in the short time we had started chatting.

I loved coming home to my computer to find a message from Edward saying how bad he missed me. It of course made me blush, smile and feel special.

I never felt that before with a guy, ever.

No one ever made me feel special, except my mom, but that was a completely different thing entirely.

Every day was the same. I would wake up exhausted, having to start a new work day. I would have a hard time concentrating at work, as my thoughts would often wonder to Edward.

Then, I would get home, rush to eat dinner and change so I could have more time to talk to him.

We would talk about everything, you name it we talked about it, likes, dislikes, family, questions, how our day was etc…

After chatting till two-three in the morning I would head to bed completely worn out. I was so excited about Edward entering my life and couldn't wait to talk to him again that it took forever for me to fall asleep.

Last, I would wake up early in the morning to head off to work and start the process all over again.

It was like I was dead yet alive. My lack of sleep and stressful ways were killing me but at the same time, I had never felt so excited, cheerful inside.

I still kept my guard up with Edward though. I had been hurt so many times by people growing up; I didn't want that to ever happen again. I never wanted to set myself up to get hurt.

I always went by the saying; "It is better to be safe than sorry."

Edboy92 Hey baby, how was your day?

I blushed and wrinkled my face up in confusion as I read Edward's message.

Baby?

Since when am I baby?

I decided to ignore Edward's choice of words and answer his question.

Bellbs123 Long, boring and tiring.

Edboy92 Aww, sorry to hear that sweetheart.

Sweetheart?

I found myself overwhelmed by his affections.

Bellbs123 Edward, don't you think you're getting a little ahead of yourself with the sentimental words?

Edboy92 Sorry, I won't do it if it makes you uncomfortable.

We eventually changed the subject of Florida, where I live.

Edboy92 You can show me around Florida when we meet.

Bellbs123 Meet? What do you mean by meet? I asked feeling panicked.

I couldn't help but think of all the bad things that could happen if we met. I mean, Edward was sweet and we got along great online but he was still a stranger to me.

Edboy92 You know, when I come down to see you.

Bellbs123 Edward, we have only been talking for like two weeks and your already talking about meeting.

Edboy92 Wow, it's only been two weeks? It feels longer. Lol.

I knew what he meant, it did feel longer. It felt like we had known each other our whole lives the way we connected and got along so well.

Bellbs123 Don't take this the wrong way but. I don't really know you, you could be a rapist, robber or murdered. Why would I meet someone I don't truly know?

Edboy92 I completely understand. I won't pressure you to meet me; I'll wait till you're ready. If you're not comfortable meeting me at all than we won't. It's totally up to you.

We dropped the subject and made small talk about our day. I waited a while before coming to my decision.

Edward and I were quite similar with getting emotionally hurt in the past as kids and growing up loners. We were both Aquarius, we both longed for similar things, and we both made a promise to be honest with each other.

I never took a risk before in my life but strangely enough I was willing to for Edward. I believed in him. I believed he was being truthful to me and that what we had was a rare and beautiful thing.

Bellbs123 Okay, how about in six months we meet, if we are both still up for it. So, we would met in January.

Edboy92 Okay, January it is. ;)

Note: Review, pretty please.
