So he didn’t take the phone when I was standing outside, calling to get the code to open the door. I figured he was busy or didn’t hear the phone, but I didn’t care to wait outside in the cold until he called back so I went to the cafe next door to enjoy a glass of white wine. Also to calm my nerves. Of course he called just when I had gotten my glass (like 4 minutes after) and he said 100 times that he was really sorry for not hearing the phone. I asked if he wanted to come down and have a glass of wine with me, and he said that he was busy making us dinner so we decided I was gonna drink the glass and then come up.

 So 5 minutes after I headed up to him and the cat that was there the last time followed me up the stairs and in his door. So cute, it’s not his but I guess the cat likes him. He is the perfect host, offering me white wine and snacks immediately after I had entered the door. Then he continued to make dinner, he had prepared everything so it was ready when I came. We had some wine and snacks and chatted about everything. It’s always this great atmosphere when we’re together, we’re nervous both of us but we still feel like we can be open and talk about everything.

Dinner got served, he had set the table and the dinner was friggin AWESOME. So long since I’ve had such a great dinner, honestly. He keeps buying herbs for everything, so he had bought fresh herbs to have over the rice. Impressive. He told me he’ll give me the recipe and I’ll share it with you guys.

After dinner we just hung around like usual, discussing music and looking at my iPhone. It was then he said we needed to take pics, so as you see, pretty drunk both of us. Lol. I love our closeness; he’s an affectionate guy which I love.

I thought since we were both dead tired and kinda buzzed that it wouldn’t get steamy. But he offered me a massage, so yes, it did get HOT.

The Secret. Have you read it? I am sure that there are a lot of other books on this topic and I find this particular book to be just the right size and just the right amount of happiness.

And the theory works! It really does!

Here is what I am grateful for today. All my good friends, the people helping me through my most challenging time, my family, my good health and my cat still being here, the beautiful view over the river from my appartment, the garden, my iPhone, a great job soon coming my way, all the great companies I have interviews with and the great contract, all the great memories, being good at skiing and sports and running, I love running.

Trying to fix everything at once, moving is tough and especially when you move somewhere you need to, not where you want to move. Trying to make the best of it and thinking it’s only for a while, I will get a better job again and I will live in a house with a garden.

One of many stars

I had offered him that I could make him dinner so I had bought everything before I got to his apartment coz there was no way I’d go up the 5 floors to go down again to buy food lol. You’re always out of breath standing on the top floor where his apartment is, it’s not elevators.. Anyways, he was happily surprised I had already gotten the food and well inside I started making dinner right away even if he said we could wait, coz I was making home made lasagna and that takes time.

He wanted to help out and I made him responsible for cutting everything, in which he brought a really funny plastic cutter that was supposed to be of great help. Typical male thing, and really cute the way he tried to make it work. Tried is the key word here. Lol it was a blast, it got really messy with that cutter and it squashed the mushrooms instead of cutting them. Anyways lasagna got ready and made it to the oven, he said he had bought a fave white wine of his for us and it turned out the be the exact same type of wine I like, a sweet but fruity type. Loved it, he drew me a map on the wine as of where the wine is produced; it’s close to where his parents lives.

Waiting for the lasagna we decided to listen to music and show each other pictures of the past. I showed him all the girl party pics from Norway and he kept saying I was really beautiful *blushing* lol. I saw his pics also, we had a great time just talking and laughing as usual.

I told him I missed my girls in Norway after looking at all the great pics. And that I was happy that I was going there this year several times coz 2 of my friends are getting married. He asked when the weddings are taking place and I said the first one is in May. He then said he wanted to go with me, he was very determined. He has kept saying “when we go to Norway” and I’ve been like “when are we going?” lol.

After dinner, it was good and he saved the rest for the next day, he got all excited wanting to make me dessert. It was SO cute, never had a guy making me dessert before and he made an awesome dessert that was caramelized bananas….Mmmmmmmm. :)

The next morning I kissed him before running off to work, a little tired but happy it was Friday.

Thursday and Friday I got called to attend to interviews so things are looking up pretty well and I can’t wait for what 2010 has to bring!

The beginning of the week was tough, being sentimental over work and living situation didn’t help either. I need to move this week and I want to start in a new job ASAP.  I missed my Norwegian friends and I missed my twitter friends, not being able to be online. Tough start of a week that was going to brighten up really well.

365 Days; Day 8 and 9

We decided to meet at his place before dinner as then we could meet earlier. When I came to his apartment I knew he’d be sleeping until I called for the door codes so I wasn’t worried when I was a little late. It was a small grey n white cat waiting for me in the stairs and when I opened the door he let the cat in even if it wasn’t his cat, now that is what I call a good sign since I have a cat. Well inside he was acting nervous, dressing and asking me what kind of jacket to wear over his white shirt. He tried several jackets and he was just adorable also complaining on his new hair cut, wanting me to tell him what I thought. I said what I felt, that it was great and that he’s handsome. He told me he wore a shirt for me (he hasn’t had a shirt on before, just sweaters or tshirts.) He then invited me on a glass of white wine and asked where I wanted us to go. We chatted very easily for a while, drinking wine and relaxing. It was a good start on a great evening. I told him that I wanted to invite him (pay at the restaurant) which he profusely denied me the right to and said that would be humiliating. He couldn’t understand why I should be the one paying so I said ok, we’ll share.

Then we went to take the metro to the restaurant since we were both quite hungry. Coming to the restaurant it was a big queue outside (you can’t order tables there) so he suggested that we had another glass of wine on a restaurant nearby. So we sat there outside under the warming lamps having a really exquisite and big glass of white wine each, only problem now was that we’d both had 2 large glasses of wine on empty stomachs and you can imagine how this evening developed from there lol…

So finally seated in “my” restaurant, it’s an Italian one that I love, at Place Marché St. Honoré. I love the area since its several restaurants there and always a lot of happy people. We ordered our food after a long discussion about it being too much choices and he didn’t know what to take. Food eventually came, but by then we also were drinking the third big glass of red wine and we were getting a little drunk to be honest hehe. We had so much fun though, sitting there drinking red wine and eating too much food and just talking about everything. It was a blast. We decided to go home to him after dinner; it was a nice walk to the metro. We stopped to listen to a violinist and he said “so…to do something romantic..” and then he walked standing behind me and held his around my shoulders, pressing me to him while we listened. It was very romantic indeed!

While on our way to him I said that I didn’t need to go with him home just because we spent the night together, and he was asking me “if you want we can meet tomorrow night”. I told him I couldn’t so he asked about next week. I said I would join him this evening as I didn’t know about next week since I’m moving. Then for some reason he mentioned making love (I remind you that we were still in the metro lol) and I said that I’d rather just sleep. He looked at me like he was worried or hurt and I didn’t explain there, so he said he understood. I knew he didn’t but it’s so many unanswered questions now that I didn’t feel bad about it and I had decided before we went out that I wanted to show him that I want to get to know him better, not just the sex part.  

I can’t recall so much what we talked about all evening, it was everything from music to our future and how we want life and business to be, but we seriously had fun, it was a good atmosphere. So at his place, all the neighbors having parties and back yard celebrations, for some reason we started talking about smoking weed (I am so inexperienced so I think that this is the name? It’s an herb?) And then he said being a musician he did have some and we decided to smoke. Caroline texted me and when I was to text back, R said; why don’t you call her, so I called and when she asked if we could meet for dinner / have a double date, R said yes. Me likey…

So he prepared the weed and then we smoked. It was hilarious, even if I didn’t feel anything it was just the naughty thing of doing it together and having fun together. Lol. Then he wanted us to get in bed and we lay there telling each other stories and jokes while listening to Louis Armstrong and it was just perfect.

10 hours later, having cuddled all night and laying on his chest in the morning, he said “hi” in Norwegian and then he asked me if I wanted him to make me breakfast. He normally doesn’t eaat breakfast, so that would mean that he would get up, rather early for his record, and make me breakfast because he knew that I always eat it. I love that and especially on a day we’re both severely hung-over! He told me we couldn’t drink that much next time and I whole heartedly agreed. Lol.

While I took a shower and got dressed, he boiled eggs, warmed a baguette, settled the table with what he said “this is all I got” and it was just perfect. He made his own special mint tea that I love and also served some French cookies he said I had to try. They tasted like muffins; needless to say I ate with good appetite. He called his piano playing friend as well, since I said that I wanted to take lessons, and they agreed on a special price for my piano lessons. Yay! Can’t wait to start learning playing!

We chatted a little more and had a great morning. He even played gitar for me. Saying goodbye, he came and held around me then, kissing me on the mouth and we decided to meet during the week next week.

TGIF! I didn’t sleep so well this night, probably coz i drank cappuccino really late and then sat up reading fan fiction until wee hours. Had a great evening with a good friend of mine, we ate sushi and saw “It’s Complicated” at the cinema. It was a really good film!
