amalauna and jonathon

eighteenth of december 2009 - 27 days to go

Our Story

"And in case you were wondering... you are like a sunset to me. You're all kinds of beautiful as you end my day."

Our Meeting

"How's Jesus?"

I knew about Jonathon before I met him. Technically, we met my junior year at T Dub and he was just some nice kid in the library who helped me out with a Seminar paper.

But the next semester my friend Devan start dating his friend Brian. It didn't last long for Dev and Bri, but one day Jonathon walked into the SAC and I looked at him and said "How's Jesus?" (Jesus was Brian's nickname.) And he sat down with me and we talked for hours every day. He was interesting. But there wasn't sparks. Not then.

Our Friendship

"Do you have a flag?"

We had lunch together every day my senior year. We talked. We didn't really hang out outside of school. But in April he invited me to his birthday party. We started hanging out after that. He invited me over for some Eddie Izzard. We clicked and for that summer I spent every day with him and Bri. We were the best of friends.

It wasn't anything to be crazy over we were just friends. I didn't even see him as cute until July and we were walking around everywhere and he kept getting checked out and I realized... Whoa! He is pretty.

Falling in Love

"Sweetheart, we just did a century."

Soon after school started back and he was in school and I had graduated, I realized I adored this kid. We were still friends, but that semester back was rough.

But as the fall went on we got closer. Christmas came around and we hung out everyday of Christmas break. We took drives in him mom's Mustang. We had a blast. We went to Governor's Inauguration.

Leading up to the months before we started dating we had all night conversations. We flirted some, he was jealous of other boys I was talking to and I was jealous of other girls he was talking to. We spent one night on the phone til 3 am. Then, made our way to the Waffle House for early morning coffee. Then, back to my house for Candyland.

That Night

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that."

The night we started dating was magical and fairy tale like. I swear it was a Dawson's Creek moment. We played dress up (a popular game for us) on date night. Then, we decided to cuddle. We were cuddling and talking in the dark. He kissed me on the forehead and was rubbing my arm.

A little later he lifted my chin and kissed me. I took my breath away. I was blown away. I was almost moved to tears as I pulled away. He thought he had went to far. And said "You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." And I said... "You don't know how long I've wanted you to do that."
