I never meant to brag... in Swallowed All The Blow

I haven't written in a while. For a good reason, though. Everything that came crashing down around me over winter quarter has been completely turned around and things are so wonderful now. It's almost scary, and I keep looking over my shoulder waiting for something to go wrong but it hasn't yet! Basically, Tys broke up with his girlfriend.. finally. And I had no idea things would go this well between us once that happened. I mean, I had stopped talking to him and it had been about three or four months since we'd slept together. We were still on very good terms and left things opened ended for the future, but I really didn't think we'd be able to make the transition. I mean, I had been the "other woman" for over a year.. minus the 6 months I was abroad. Still, too long. Way too long. But I was really never bothered or upset by that situation until the very end of it. It was something that had little to do with him and I, and he and I were always great together. He was always so sweet to me, and crazy about me. He's been crazy for me since we met three years ago.. ANYWAY, I'm no good at summarizing, and there's too much to tell, but long story short, I never expected it to actually work out for me, for us.. I thought once they finally did break up that he'd want to slut around. That he would maybe use me as a rebound but things wouldn't change much. That we'd get freaked out by the pressure to be "more." Or "together" or whatever. because I feel like there was pressure, after all this time. BUT it's been nothing like that. Since the moment he dropped the line about being single, we've been totally changed in a very good way. We see each other all the time, he stayed at my apartment for basically the entire first week we were back on. He takes me out to dinner, breakfast, lunch, and pays. He calls them "dates." The other night he told this guy at the restaurant we were at that he was "on a date right now with a girl he really really likes." So sweet. He's been so great with my friends, too. He's won them all over and has made such an effort to be friendly to them. I appreciate that more than anything, because they're a tough crowd. Especially after everything. I feel like I keep setting the bar for him a little higher and higher every day, as if to say if he does this then this could actually work, and he keeps passing! I've expected him to beg off, not answer my calls, or just do something sketchy, but he's just been great. I like him so much, I'm so happy. The universe has really done it for me, but I don't want to jinx anything! It's still so new, I just want it to be known that things are great and I'm super happy. And things really can work out sometimes :)
