The L Word
Two
weeks today will be the first anniversary of our first real date. Being wined
and dined in a chic little French restaurant was a gigantic step forward; it
signalled the beginning of a new era in my relationship with Karl. Even though
at least half of the meal was spent talking about work, his intentions were
clear – we were no longer simply colleagues and romance was in the air.
Since
then, Karl must have told me that he loves me more than a thousand times. You
might think I’m exaggerating, but I can assure you that’s not the case. He
usually manages to slip it into the conversation at least three times a day.
The first time he said the L word to me, it slid off his tongue so easily I
could almost have missed it. It wasn’t a staring into each other’s eyes moment
of discovery, just a casual ‘love you, babe’.
As the
months rolled by, I pushed aside my growing fear that it was only a word to
him. Because it means so much more to me, I freeze whenever he tacks it onto a
sentence.
And,
yes, I’m very aware that my air of disapproval does make me sound ungrateful
and undeserving. But it’s all about self-preservation, you see. I’ll never
utter that word again until I’m one hundred per cent certain that the man I’m
saying it to believes I’m their soul mate too – the perfect fit.
The
last time I uttered the L word, was six years ago. It was to a guy I’d known
since childhood and the man I genuinely believed I would marry when the time
was right. He was handsome in a rugged way, fired up with ambition and exciting
to be around. Sadly, everyone we knew thought we were the perfect couple too,
except the guy in question, as it turned out…
