NavyWidow

Okay so My name is Sheyla, and I am a navy widow. I was born in Panama, but I moved to Washington D.C. area when I was ten. I joined the Army when I was 18… went insane at 22, and ran away to Arizona. Met a girl and fell in love…( but she was crushing on a 15 year old… she was like 27) so then I met my husband and lost my boy virginity with him.

I mean it is a really cute story… and I guess I could write it out for you fiction style… Maybe you would enjoy it more.

Okay, so it was march 2000. I had totally forced my way across country. I felt stifled at home, like I couldn’t be myself. I was lonely, never had a boy friend, or girlfriend or any wanted physical contact with another human being in an intimate way. I have always been a writer, so I had been writing some fiction online and this girl, or should I say woman, seemed very impressed with my work.

At first I thought it was cute you know, she seemed so star struck to talk to me… she would IM me and say such wonderful things… and I giggled about it at first, and then I really looked forward to seeing her online. We met in New York, the day after Christmas, and I stayed the night with her. I was held for the first time. I was kissed for the first time and my hear fluttered. I really loved her. Then we made plans for me to come and visit her in January. It was then that I began planning my move to Arizona.

When I arrived to phoenix in March, I had done all of my research and I just had to get an apartment. When I walked into the complex office, There he was. He sat at the desk signing his lease. we smiled at each other, though we weren’t really talking much. The apartment manager got it into her head that she could be a match maker. We both felt it and grinned about it and went our separate ways. We met out in the parking lot bringing in our things and laughed about that whole situation.

“can I help you?” He asked and helped me take the futon from the top of my car.

“Thanks,” I said

“Do you need help putting it together, I got some movies we can watch as we are working.” He offered

I really didn’t need help, I was really good at putting things together. “Sure, My VCR is ready” (Yeah this was just a little before DVD’s were affordable)

He went to his studio and grabbed his video.

We started putting it together, and some how I ended up doing it alone. He just watched, because he didn’t like to read directions and didn’t quite see how things fit together. (though he went out and bought himself one later and put it together just fine.)

After an hour of it being just the two of us my girlfriend showed up. I guess that kinda turned him off a bit… I mean it wasn’t like we were doing anything that said we were together at all… but you know how it is… you get a look on your face when you like someone… apparently he could see I liked her, he also could see she didn’t appreciate him being there.(though she never told me as much because we hadn’t really established what our friendship was about)

But anyway, that’s how we met… the story of that night only gets more interesting, but this post is getting really long.
