Dear Hijacker

The past two weeks have been such a whirlwind time that I've hardly had time to eat, sleep or even think. Since you ever so carefully bulldozed you way into my perfectly organized life, everything has changed, and tonight for the first time I have the time to just sit down and analyze...something i usually do constantly. If the letter is a bit jumbled and confusing, please bear with me. I'm trying to focus, trying to figure out what the hell is going on...trying to make sense of the situation.


We've been friends for months, and never, not even once have i considered the possibility that your little mind was steering our friendship in a completely different direction. Then, two weeks ago, you practically invited yourself to dinner. We had a fabulous time and to my absolute astonishment it was 3 o'clock by the time you finally decided to leave. I never even noticed what time it was....i had trouble sleeping and was amazed at how comfortable it was to have you around.


Since then I've seen you every single day. I've sms'd you a thousand times, answered your ring tone even more than that and found myself thinking of you more than i felt comfortable to admit.


Our first kiss was gentle and passionate, but a complete surprise. You had manged to catch me completely off guard....not something easily achieved. And even more surprising was the fact that this unexpectedness didn't bother me at all.


I have no idea where all of this is going. I'm freaked out by the fact that I'm allowing you to bulldoze your way into my life. I'm freaked out by my reaction to all of this. But most of all i think I'm freaked out by the fact that I've just realised that I'm falling for you. Hard! I haven't' fallen in love with you, but as i sit here reading this letter i realise that I'm probably heading in that direction....it scares the shit out of me.


Our "relationship", or whatever you would like to call it, has a different twist to it, and even though i won't talk about it, I can't deny that this specific part of your history scares me. I'm grateful for the fact that your realise i have a slight issue with this, and that you've been trying your best to make it easy for me.


Last night was the first day in two weeks that i didn't see you. I missed you.....and that scared me. I felt unsure of myself, which is not something which happens all too often. And I'm upset with myself for this reaction. You wouldn't be phoning me 200 times a day if you didn't wanna spend time with me.....i decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and spent some time with the girlies. It was good, but not the same as spending time with you. I'd rather see you ever day......shocking, i know!


I don't know if it will work out, or whether all of this is just for fun. I'm confused as hell, but most of all I'm having fun. I enjoy your company, you quick wit, your hand on the small of my back when no one else is watching. The stolen kisses and the light touch of you hand on my arm.


I've made a decision while writing this letter. I'm usually the over thinker, the too rational person, the over analyzer, and the one who doesn't risk her heart, because she's been hurt too many times. The one who'd rather not love at all than have her heart broken. It stops right here. No more!


You make me happy. You make me feel excited about the most mundane little tasks. The thought of you makes me feel like I've slept for hours, even though I've probably only slept about 12 hours in 2 weeks. You're the one that makes me feel special for wanting to kill the client whose practically harassing me. The one who makes me feel all silly, and blushy and like I'm a teenager again. I've decided to risk it.


I don't know what the future holds for us, and whether we'll even make it to a proper relationship...but I've also decided that it doesn't matter. That i have to start living and loving the here and now....even if it means that i might get hurt in the process.


I realise that this letter is all "deurmekaar", mushy and stupid. But it has helped me focus, it's helped me make a decision..........it's helped me realise that I really like you you little clown! Be gentle with this little heart of mine. It's not given easily and not without a lot of thought and consideration for what might happen. But I'm willing to take the risk and i'm hoping you are too.



Hugs and kisses


Ruby

so he used to hijack people, is that the bit in the past you mentioned? or you call him hijacker coz he's hijacking your heart lol.

Whats up with these people, your other good pal had a serious drug problem, this one may have been a hijacker, what does he do now?

Sweets said...

High in Dubai said...

Yay for little Ruby... Can't wait for more letters to the Hijacker!

KaB said...

Ag sies tog...dis cute ne?!? *insert* is it HiD by any small chance?!? Seriously...be honest! You can email me if you must but I'm dying to know!

Just watch your little heart...I felt exactly the same about a guy last year in September & I fell splat on the pavement where my friends had to pick me up off the floor piece by piece! I also went for the fun factor & living in the now & although it was fun...the hurt overrode it so much more!

I only hope, that for your sake, *hijacker keeps you from falling!

It's very exciting though :) Am holding thumbs!

By the by...it's about facking time that you're back1 My god...I could give this oke a right spank bottom for stealing you away from us! Not cool...

Amy xxoo said...

Ruby...thats sweet. I applaud your decision to let love in, even if it comes in and steals all your stuff and then leaves you with absolutely nothing but the dust previously under your bed... good for you!

Ruby said...

bridget - Stop laughing.....it seems that it's the only thing my friends have been doing for the past 2 weeks.....they've never seen me like this...which scares me even more:(
Guilty as charged! i'm not generally a mushy person...but i have my moments and then i compensate for all the times i'm unmushy...:p
and erm.....yes, Hijacker.....since you weren't much help i finally settled on it!

Anon - erm......no...he wasn't a hijacker...but he did sorta hijack my heart...or is in the process anyhow....*sigh accompanied by a really dopey smile*

Sweets - dankie:)

HiD - yay!!!! he's back!! *hugs* thanx hun....i'm hoping it all works out so there will be plenty more where that one came from...but we'll have to wait and see now won't we?

KaB - thanx for the worry hun;) I'll be fine tho i'm sure. I've always been strong, and i've been through more than my fair share of heartbreak....if this doesn't work out it should be easy as pie...in comparison;)Ok, prob not, but i'm willing to risk it;)

Oh, and i'll be sure to convey your threat to him;) although, it's not all his fault....blogger has been blocked at work....so i now have to carry my little modem around with me all the time.....this is part of the problem...sos

Amy - thanx hun:) We're all hoping for the best here

Ruby said...

KaB - oh yes, before i forget. Nope, unfortunately for HiD....its not him. He took to long....he he

Unknown said...

You got me so worried when I read "hikacker", I love the mushy Rubes, she is so cute :-)

The Blonde Blogshell said...

I agree with Nats...got a fright about the hijacker...but now that I know that your're MORE than alright, I'm relieved!

You are too cute! Yuo said you're guarded with your heart....good! It's a good thing, BUT remember this: Never ever regret something that made you smile.

(It's the alternative to rather not loving)

Ruby said...

Nats - *wailing* oh no!! it's started....i hate being mushy...cause then i'm all cute:( but i just can't help myself*silly little smile*

blondie - thanx hun:) and yes...i'm MORE than allright:)

Lopz said...

Ruby I've just discovered your blog, and I think I'm already hooked. Since I'm a hopeless romantic myself, I thought that was the sweetest load of gush I've ever heard ;-) *sighs dramatically* Isn't love awesome!

Ruby said...

Lopz - oh goody!!! a new visitor...and then they are hopeless romantics like me:)
Welcome to my little world hun! hope you'll have plenty more enjoyable reading here:)

Michelle Hix said...

The Divine Miss M said...

I'm a terribly mushy person myself, but it is all good.

Enjoy it whilst you can!

Elise said...

Oh Ruby! You're totally in-love. I'm so happy for you and um Hijacker... Mind if I call him Jack? It sounds less like a kidnapping that way.

xx

SonnyVsDan said...

i like the way you described the first kiss....I love first kisses...particularly surprise ones (surprise ones that may or may not have been building for 9 years)..

Anonymous said...

I love new love I wish love could be like that all the time

High in Dubai said...

I think this hi-jacking has gone on long enough... Surely there is a ransom letter?

AngelConradie said...

wow... another one on the "love boat"! i know how you feel rubes...!!!

Ruby said...

Michelle - well.....i'm trying...bloody scary business this i tell you!

Miss M - *wailing* i've been called mushy so many times in the last 3 weeks....make it stop!!!! he he:) thanx hun

Elise - thanx girl! hmm, you just had a brilliant idea sweety! he'll be officially known as jack from now on

Sonny - *blushing* thanx dudy:)

Nos - yeah, i like it too, except for the fact that it's scaring me totally shitless

High - becomming slightly jealous are we???? tee hee hee
to be quite honest, it's not on Jack's fault. Blogger has been blocked at work, which means that i have to lug my little usb modem along...and sometimes i forget....i seem to have become very forgetful somehow......

angel - yeah something like that...allthough, i'm not quite on the boat yet....but we have booked a cabin;)

SheBee said...

Ruby said...

Globus said...

ahh, keep enjoying those heady early days before the routine, run-of-the-mill return to reality kicks in and you end up doing the laundry, watching your other half pick his nose, fart and snore, and wonder just where the hell all the excitement went.
