“MY BOYFRIEND!” Christopher says raising my hand up in his. I feel the same thrum of excitement the two words usually gave me. The blush that stains my cheeks and makes it’s way to my toes, still I don’t shy away, I stand boldly in front of everyone. Smiling from ear to ear, the feeling of accomplishment rushing through me.
“Wooo!!” Ash cups her hand in front of her mouth, cheering and clapping, soon everyone was clapping, wearing matching smiles.
I was finally done with the Lady Rockbell project. After I agreed to be Christopher’s boyfriend, we barely spent any time together, I have been cooped up at the site, eating sandwiches that tasted like wet cement, because Christopher had gone for an out of town job.
And now, I am done, after so many months, all of it a new experience, all of it worth it. I made a lot of new friends, something I would never have done if I stayed cooped up at Saltwater.
“I’m so proud of you, I always knew you could do it, I am so proud to be your boyfriend.
