Have You Ever...?

Woken up from a dream and wished it was reality? It's very interesting. Interesting to try and remember and want something you can't have, but see it so vividly in your mind that you wish it was real. I had this dream once, and yesterday... It became as close to reality as I could make it.

You see, my best friend came home yesterday after being away for a week. And she wanted company, so I worked really hard, injured myself slightly, and then made my way to her house for some good old quality time with her. Four whole hours... :)  But anywho, after baking, and bandying words with her father, we went downstairs to watch a movie. After some debate, we picked Get Smart, and proceeded to fight with the DVD player and watch the movie.

Though I didn't see much of it. You see, my best friend, in her infinite playfulness, did many things while we sat next to each other on that couch. She gave me a wet willie, which incited an all out war. We wet willie'd each other on and off, between actually watching the movie. And she told me that she would lick my head and face. Which, of course, she did do. And she licked her hand and used it as a medium to once again, lick me by proxy. This, I returned, so we spent most of the movie trying to one-up each other. Eventually, I just let her win. And, to top it off, when we weren't in our war, she attempted to "suffocate" me with a pillow. Which was interesting.

But the interesting didn't stop there. After she'd settled down, she got really close to me. And then, she looped her arm under mine, and laid her head on my chest. (She told me I had a really loud heartbeat.) She shifted a few times throught the rest of the movie, sometimes her head was on my shoulder. Sometimes she would shift just so much that she would get even closer to me. I was waiting for her to fall asleep on me, actually, but she didn't as tired as she was. And eventually I had to leave, so we walked out to my car, and we hugged. And then played a little game, cause she told me I couldn't move her. So I pulled her into me, and then gently moved her back out against the car, and then pulled her in again. Then we hugged again, and pulled back a bit so that I could look at her adorable little face again, and then she told me I needed to leave so I could get my sister. I left with a heavy heart.

You see, I really enjoyed that. The hugs, the one-on-one attention, the snuggling. I was... Content. We had fun with each other, poking, teasing, playing around. I liked that. A lot. She's really fun, and I love that. I wouldn't have needed the snuggling to have a good time, but I really enjoyed that. It was physical, just like she likes. But for me, it was nice having her close to me. I liked feeling her closeness. I like how we looked into each other's eyes, and smiling at her. Even if she didn't know what I was doing when I closed my eyes and smiled. At that moment, I was entirely and totally content. The happiest man on earth. Even if it was only fleeting, words cannot truly describe my feeling. Simply that, we were enjoying each other's company, and that I could show her how much I love her was enough. :)

And that was enough for me. I had gotten what I wanted. Which was quality time with my friend who I so dearly missed. And she got the company she wanted. All in all, I had a wonderful time. :) As, I hope, she did too. :)
