It’d only been a month or two since I started dating Jess officially. And, frankly, it’d been a miraculous couple of months.

I’d never felt this happy in my life. Not even when we were kids because, as kids, I never got to express how I really felt about her. And now I did.

How I felt about her … God, I didn’t even know how to describe it. As time passed and I’d gotten to know her once again, I’d only fallen deeper in love with her. The intensity of my emotions had grown.

Which scared me.

Not in the way that it had scared Jess all those years ago. I wasn’t terrified to get too close to her. In fact, I loved it. Every second of feeling close to her again filled me with joy.

I was the happiest I’d ever been and that was what was scary. It could all disappear on me at any moment.

I worried about it all the time. I’d forgiven Jess, I truly had. But I hadn’t moved on from what she did. I still worried all the time that she might leave again.

Sometimes, I questioned her commitment to me. She’d never given me a reason since she’d been back to doubt it, though. She’d given me all of her time and attention, so I didn’t bring it up. I didn’t want to sound crazy when things were perfectly fine between us, obviously.

But it was in the back of my mind all the time. When I was with her, I could bask in my happiness and enjoy our time together. When I was alone, it was a different story. My mind ran rampant and I couldn’t get a hold of my thoughts.

Which was what was happening right now. I was sitting on my bed, Callie happily purring in my lap, as I waited for Jess to get here. Callie was helping to keep my anxiety under control at least marginally, but not much.

Jess should have been here any moment now, though. And then these thoughts would fade from my mind as I wrapped myself up in her.

I knew she’d be on time, too, because she literally always was. I didn’t think she’d been even a minute late getting to my house since we got together. And she came to see me almost every day.

When I worked, she’d come by late during the night and spent time with me. Which was nice, but we were both usually tired and I had work early. On the weekends, we got to spend the day together, though. It was Saturday and I was stoked to be able to hang out with her with no other interruptions.

About five minutes before Jess told me she would be arriving, I heard a knock at my door. Callie got up excitedly and ran to the door. She’d really taken a shine to Jess, despite the fact that she must smell like her own kitten.

I shouldn’t have been too surprised, though. Callie loved attention. And Jess definitely spoiled her with it.
