Sofa-sleeper

I do not recall how it came to be, I do know that he was walking past the car-wash one day, and I just happened to be there with my cousin.
 He said hello. I was silly and more shocked that he would even remember me. 
After all it had been more than a year from the last time I had seen his handsome face.
Normally I would have never been able to recall some man I have really never gotten to know. Yet he was so much more than "Just some guy", he had come to be staying on our sofa for a while. I think the roommate knew him and well you know how it goes. "Sure come stay on the sofa it's fine. 
My mind was twittering wildly when he first said hello. 
Those deep forest green eyes. I was sure he could read my every thought. 
And to tell you honestly My face got hot and I was red from head to toe. 
Thank the good Lord that he could not read my mind and more so that if he could he said nothing of my thoughts or my ideas about him. 
I might have stood there just boggling at his cheekbones and the splash of wild in his eyes, I said something on the lines of.....Do you have a toothbrush or a this or that?? 
I found him a few things every man needs....I.e. towel and toothbrush, soap and blah blah blah....this poor man. That was when I first saw that smile. 
HOLY MOLY, Can you say mind-blown!!!!???? I was up at the break of day making coffee and standing in the kitchen peeking at him as he slept.
I was so lost to him, and he did not know it. 
I think I found any reason to just be in the same room as him. I am not sure just how many words passed between us while he was there in the house. 
Funny how the heart will seek only what it needs and desires. I was a moth to a flame. Yet being in a relationship with a man-child I kept as far as I could without being rude. The best thing was that at the time my then boyfriend was sick to death with having the sofa-sleeper staying at our house! I love this kind of irony! You are cruel to me and this "Sofa-sleeper" was so kind. 
Thank you KArma for laying out a path for good things I might have done and for bringing the now ex-guyfriend to the greatest loss in his life.....Me.
I could not stop the blush or the smile that was a plague to my face and more so to my heart. 
I had seen him with the kids out on the street and That just made him more sexy and want in my eyes.
it is to my heart he now calls, it is to our home he now comes, he calls me his own. 
I thank goodness daily for taking something so tiny and making all of my dreams come true.
