He went away too. He left for Chicago on business and left me an e-mail which was basically an ultimatum. I guess I deserved it because I had him back and forth between almost boyfriend and still best friend which was unfair. I was undeserving of such patience and I had to make up my mind and it was then I was closer to choosing him. It only took so long because after two years of what might be the greatest friendship ever- the usual paranoia of ruining it was running through my head.1
Then September 11th happened and he got stuck in Chicago. That's when I realized that you don't always get a second chance, that I should stop being an indecisive, paranoid mess and simply be with him because he was the right one. Because there was a connection and effortless flow between us that doesn't happen everyday, and because deep down since the day we meet we knew we were destined to becomes something more.2
He came back home on September 17th and the next day I said yes and we've never looked back since. Unfortunately, I was forced to look back because my ex-boyfriend kept haunting me for a while plaguing me with new found discoveries of his infidelity which saddened me but oddly enough- didn't surprise me. It's always tugging at the back of your head when you've been cheated on.3
I don't worry too much about all that now. All I know is that this is not perfect- nothing is- but it's near there...sometimes it even feels like a fairytale. I'm selfish because I want only us to know how beautiful this is and what it feels like- yet I want everyone to know what it's like to find 'the one' and be as happy as we are. 4
'The one'. Yes, I know it sounds cliche but I don't know how else to say it. This may sound bordering on cheesy- but I've described as the feeling you get when you're home or in your room, or somewhere where you feel totally uninhibited and safe- this is the feeling I got with him that I never got with anyone else. It just felt right. Now I have my one in the same- my best friend and my husband.5

Your narrative voice is so honest and raw that I just love the things they are saying. They are so likeable and relateable which is something I look at in short stories. It's funny how my criteria for different genres of writing changes. Tony.

Oh! This really killed me in the start, then when it kept going upward into better then better, I felt that you had end up with him. It's so wonderful that it ended up that you ended marrying him. It makes the perfect ending!

Well first i'd like to say, cliches get to be cliches for a reason. They often speak truth and the power of love is one. I understand what you mean when you talk about that comfort. Its something everyone should get to enjoy. Great story, take care and God bless.

Not so much because it's true but because of how it's written... very truthful... like i'm readin ur diary. And so classy too... you didn't slame ur ex here.... even tho as u mentioned, he was unfaithful to u. That's real commendable dear! I'd have vented and called him every dirty name in the book!... and made up some new ones too!
