wish you were here

chapter 3

Rico and I would spend an increasingly amount of time together during the daytime and sometimes it felt more like a dream. I kept asking him "how are you real" and I asked him that for almost 2 weeks straight because honestly he felt too good to be true and to be fair most of my past relationships were nightmarish in there own way so I didn't know a healthy relationship if it bit me in the derriere but I digress. once everything started to sink in and I began to relax the relationship ebbed and flowed like the ocean washing up on the sand of a beach. it began to become more natural feeling to me as if it were just like taking a breathe and exhaling.

however it would not be completely smooth sailing from here on out because I still had my guard up waiting on the other shoe to drop, but to be fair it usually did at some point. once the "honeymoon" phase was over and they had you locked in for sure is when the mask usually dropped and their true self revealed, I was a little suspicious because he was almost too nice and I was second guessing myself.
