Brenda Thoughts  Romance Tuesday #2

Hi all,

Today, I’m thinking of changing it up a little. Yes, I wanted to write about sexiness, but I just didn’t want all of you to pass out of boredom. I’m trying something different every week, whatever crosses Brenda Thoughts.  

Did you ever wonder why some couples like to hold hands and others don’t? I’m a romantic, I love seeing couples holding hands. Crazy to think that I don’t have a partner that likes to hold hands.  

A couple’s love for one another is only part of the equation.  Both parties must be fully committed to the relationship in order for it to work and  it cannot be one-sided. In addition, it’s the little things that make the other person happy in your life, like remembering to make them coffee in the morning and making them dinner after a long day at work.

I’ve never thought about romance or how we get swept away by the notion of finding our very own knight and shining armor.  But I do believe that there is someone out there for everyone.

It came a time when I thought I would just give up, I realized that I was meant to be alone for the rest of my life. I was always wondering when I said someone, would it be him?  Faith has a way to change things for everyone, if you believe in it.

At the time, I would cry myself to sleep, asking God, why? Why have you not sent someone in my path, that was right for me? The moment that I decided that I had enough and that I was going to live my life as I see fit. BAMM. It hit me.

They say things happen for a reason; I was at a point in my life where I wanted to be happy and be me. I tried to stop worrying about what other people thought. I was starting a new job, the only woman in an all men office, and I was ok with that. I felt like I didn’t have to pretend anymore I could be myself, I was laughing more, feeling more confident about myself, and I finally realized I fit in. Little did I know that a month later, that Cupid had hit hard..

The next thing I knew, I was telling my sad story. How unlucky I was and laughing at myself at how pathetic I could be.  In a way, I needed a friend and he was there, yet he was 9 years younger than I, and I didn’t care. We both decided that will take it one day at a time, no expectation from either of us.  

He still had his time with his friends as I but the next thing I knew, we decided to move in together.  Now let me say, I’ve always done things on my own never expected a man to help me do things. So it was strange at first. little word of advising ladies, let him do it even though you know better on how things are done… lol.  

At first, he would surprise me on weekend getaways, that was so romantic just the two of us away from everything. It came a time where we were like to magnets, he moves I moved, from the smallest touch to a look from across the room. You could consider that being sexy and to me it was.

This all comes back to holding hands, we walk side by side, But yet, every now and then he pulls me in and give me the sweetest hug, or kiss on my cheek, and he doesn’t care who’s around when he does it.  That my friend is lovely and kind, and romantic and sexy too.

If I had a partner, that would love to hold hands I believe I would be all in, but I don’t, and that’s ok  – to all the couples out there that find that little contact affectionate all the power everyone.

I sometimes think we take for granted the small things that our partner does, either it is he/she.  Life is short, and we need to embrace and acknowledge the little thing in life. Don’t be shy, a hug or a kiss in passing, or even pat his derriere. That is just a way of affection, and it’s beautiful and romantic because you never know what life has in the store for you.

When writing my books, I imagine what my partner would be like. I sometimes go overboard on the protectiveness, but with strong characters it works.

Cheers & much love,

Brenda
