I Am Good at Setting and Then Achieving Realistic Goals.

I am quite pleased with the work I did today, and I’m pretty sure that Julia had a breakthrough with a client at work. I know she won’t really tell me but… “Her mood is really good!”

Of course, me being me, I just had to tease her when she got home. “So, you had a good time with the boyfriend this afternoon?” I asked. She laughed and said, “Why yes! So much so that I decided to bring him home. He’s in the trunk actually. Could you be a dear and let him out for me?”

So… Playing along… I popped open the trunk on her car and said, “Well honey… It looks like another one got away.”

She came up to me and gave me a huge kiss saying, “That’s ok. You’ll due tonight. But… Um… Could you grab that case of soda for me?”

So, laughing, I grabbed the soda and brought it into the house while she grabbed the three bags of groceries next to it. Once I new she was clear of the car I closed the trunk lid.

She then asked me how my day went, and I told her about finally meeting my goal of one post a day for twenty-one days straight on The Bria Sphere website. She gave me a high five and said, “Nice!”

I then told her about taking a quick trip to Ellen’s to help her with getting some dead furniture out of her apartment. Julia said, “Yeah… I heard about that. She texted me to let me know she was borrowing you to help her and then taking you to lunch after. She was sweet for doing that.”

She then took my hand after we brought everything into the house and said, “I trust you. But it does help to know what’s happening.”

“I forgot to let you know,” I said, “And I am sorry about that. I guess I was just a bit preoccupied with…” But that was as far as I got.

She planted a kiss to beat all passionate kisses on me before I could finish my sentence. “No,” she said, “You don’t have to apologize. I get it.”

She then led me over to the living room sofa and sat down with me saying, “It’s ok. Grown men are allowed to travel. I just meant that I appreciated her thoughtfulness in letting me know you were helping her with something. I know that might sound strange to you and maybe a bit controlling. But… Oh… fuck it. I’ll just come out with it.”

She then paused to give me another light kiss on the lips before saying, “She’s your ex-girlfriend. And it’s nice to know she respects boundaries enough to check in with me. Does that make sense?”

I nodded saying, “So, she’s just letting you know she’s borrowing me for legitimate reasons.” “Exactly,” Julia said, “It’s just a bit of clearing the air between us girls. But if she so much as touches your ass the bitch will be your dead ex-girlfriend in no time.”

She then started laughing and gave me a hug. “I am glad you went over to help her out,” she whispered. Giving me a squeeze, she then said, “And you are generally good about at least texting me your location when you take unplanned excursions and I really do appreciate you doing that. But don’t ever think for a second that I don’t trust you. I do and the courtesy you give me with regard to letting me know where you’re at is above and beyond anything I have a write to demand or even expect.”

Julia then began to make love to me right there in the living room and… Well… What can I say other than, “I am truly blessed.”
