It's quite obvious that I'm happier than I've ever been in a really long time. Yesterday was one of the best experiences I have had, even compared to when I was with a girl. It's fair to say that things are "much" better between me and Collins. Collins has definitely been in a better mood. I've never really realized how cute and romantic he is. He was doing all sorts of cutesy little things last night. He would sneak up behind me and put his arms around my waste and squeeze me tight and then kiss the back of my neck because he knew it made my whole body tingle. At dinner he held my hand under the table and kept smiling at me, and of course I was blushing like crazy. Joanne just laughed as she tried to read the signals that were flying between me and him. Then, that evening we were all sitting on the couches watching TV and Collins put his arm around me. I rested my head on his chest and let him hold me, but I felt like a little kid with his mother, oh well, it was a comforting feeling. After a while Joanne got up and went to bed, but Collins and I stayed. I lay down on my back with my head in his lap and he held my hand in one of his and ran the fingers on his other hand through my hair. It was very relaxing just to lay there with him, worrying about nothing. I could have fallen asleep that way but I think Collins was uncomfortable sitting up.
"Mark, it's 1:00 in the morning, we should go to bed."
"Oh, right. Yeah." I sat up, stretched a little and then stood up. He stood up behind me and once again hugged me from behind resting his chin on my shoulder. I turned and met his mouth with mine, drawling us into a deep long kiss. This time I was able to free myself and turn around to face him. He pulled me against him until we both needed to breathe, then pulled back and kissed me on the forehead before saying "Goodnight." We went our separate ways into our own rooms.
