Monthiversary ; )

I can't believe it's been a month. That seems so long yet so short. Short because the time span has only been a month and that's not very long, but Long because I feel like I know Jelly so well, we see each other almost every day. I guess the time span doesn't really matter anyways, the important thing is the person that I'm sharing all this time with, Jelly.
I'm going to be honest... at the beginning of this week I had no idea that I should have been planning a monthiversary. I had been thinking about it though so I looked at the calendar on Saturday and realized that it was on Tuesday. After some calls and shopping and planning this is what I came up with......

I broke out the black suit jacket and pants with a black undershirt and blue tie. (Yes, Elena did help on the wardrobe). I show up on Jelly's doorstep at 3 holding a single rose. She answered wearing that gorgeous dark green dress that she wore at my party when we confessed our feelings for each other.
It was a forty minute drive and she had no idea where we were going, until we pulled up to the convention center and she saw the banner outside... We had third row seats at the Duran Duran concert. I had to pull her out of the car lol she was in shock. Little did she know the best was yet to come. We get inside and she starts to head to the line to enter the auditorium, but I pulled her the other way down a hall. "Where are we going?" she asked. "You'll see." ;) I said. She saw me hand a security guard two cards and noticed they said "Backstage Passes". She just stood there with her mouth hanging open staring at me. We walked down the hall and around the corner and there he was... John Taylor!!! I thought I was going to have to carry Jelly, she was almost frozen. We walked up to him and got an autograph and a picture with a short introduction and goodbye. I'm glad Jelly remembered her name XD. We get back in the lobby and the reality hit her...
"Dimitri.. How the Hell???" she yelled at me..
"I lived in California Jells, I have connections."
I still don't think Jelly believes she met John Taylor ha ha. The concert was awesome and very entertaining.
It was about dinner time when the concert ended. I wanted to do something special for dinner (my sister helped with this too). Elena has this place she goes to when she wants to think and be alone, she's never told anyone where it is, except me. It was out by a small lake about twenty minutes from our house. The sun was setting, and it was beautiful. I had a boat waiting at the dock, a nice boat where a dinner table was set up with dinner that I cooked. Chicken Gordon Bleu : )
After dinner we went back to my house and cuddled on pillows in front of the fireplace. I handed Jelly a box. She opened it and inside was a necklace with a small saphire heart hanging on the end. "Happy Monthiversary Jelly." I said and I leaned in and kissed her.

Too much to deal with...

Would anyone think bad of me if I locked my sister in chains and stuffed her in a cage?

I just don't know what to do with her... I leave for ten days, and apparently my older brother Adrain doesn't have enough sense to watch Elena. There's a lot a 17 year old girl can do in ten days. After banning her from alcohol, she gets completely wasted I don't even know how many times while I was gone. She's skipping work and about to lose her job. She got arrested TWICE, for reasons I still don't know. She fell off the roof and almost broke her neck and laid there till someone found her. Apparently she's in love, and there was something else she did with someone while she was totally wasted that I'm not allowed to talk about.
I don't know what to do, I have a job and a life and I can't play dad to my 17 year old sister all the time. This is supposed to be my father's problem, but no he doesn't want anything to do with us.
When I have kids, can we please just skip the teenage years???

I'm considering putting her in therapy too. There was an incident a while back and she says she still feels pain from it, but that's impossible, it happened almost two years ago...

Home At Last

I swear that had to be the longest nine days of my life. Of course I had fun back in California visiting my parents and old friends, but all I could think about was you guys, especially Jelly. I missed her so much, talking on the phone every day just isn't the same. I just hot back and I'm exhausted but I promised Jells a date night so were renting some movies and chilling at my house. Jelly if I fall asleep I'm deeply sorry.

A Great Night, With A Great Girl

Word of advice... Don't go roller skating unless you know how to.

In California I never went roller skating, there were a lot of other things to do, so I never learned.
Jelly and I doubled with Kit and TwoBit. I knew it was going to be an epic failure from the start, but I went anyways, cause Jelly was there and as long as I'm with her I'm never disappointed. =) We got our skates on and the second I stood up, I sat right back down again. Jelly laughed at me and took my hands pulling me up.
I lost count after falling on my ass for the eighteenth time, but every time we just laughed it off. I don't think we would have had as much fun if I did know how to skate LOL. I wasn't the only one falling though, TwoBit and his cockiness sent his ass to the floor a few times. Turning was the hardest part. The first time I rounded a corner, I lost my balance and pulled Jelly down too, but i broke her fall and instead of landing on the floor, she landed on me. The next thing we heard was Kitty yelling at us to get a room. Gotta love Kitten =D
After receiving countless bruises and possibly a sprained tail bone, it was getting late so we had to leave because they were starting to close. We walk outside and it's pouring down rain. I offered to run and get the car across the parking lot and drive up to the door, but just before I stepped off the curb this blue volvo drives through a puddle in front of me drowning me with water. I turned to the laughs and giggles coming from behind me. "This just isn't my night." I said. I walked up to TwoBit, Kit, and Jelly. They were almost peeing their pants. "It's really not that funny." I added. "No," Jelly said "really, it is." And with that I swept her up in a tight bear hug getting her wet too. She pushed me playfully out into the rain.
Somehow we all ended up in the parking lot splashing puddles of water at each other, and apparently I can't keep my balance even without skates because I tripped over a water filled pot hole that sent me bumping in to Jelly and both of us to the ground. This time i landed on top of her, with my hand behind her head making sure it didn't go smashing in to the concrete. "You're right" she said, "tonight isn't your night." I smiled at her and said "I think now I have to disagree." And I leaned in and kissed her.

Eventually we decided that hypothermia wasn't something we wanted to suffer through so we piled into the car and headed home. We dropped off TwoBit and Kit each at their own houses. "I don't want to go home." Jelly said disappointed. So we went to my house. It's summer yes, but at midnight in the pouring rain things got quite chilly so I got the fireplace going to keep us warm and dry us off faster. Of course changing in to dry clothes helps too so I lent Jelly another pair of my clothes ha ha.
I didn't want to get the leather couch wet from our skin and hair so we ended up cuddled between pillows on the floor in front of the fireplace, and well we talked... a lot. I glanced at the clock which read 3:30 AM. I looked down at Jelly whose sleeping head rested on my chest. I didn't want to wake her up, so I carefully carried her to my bed and tucked her in making sure she would stay warm enough.
I had yet another amazing night with my amazing girl.

So... i guess tonight I'll be sleeping on the couch ; )

First Date

I took Jelly out tonight. I spent endless hours on figuring out what to do for our first official date. So I took her to the zoo. Yes THE ZOO! I'm sure you have all been to the zoo before, but you haven't been like this.

I didn't tell her where I was taking her because I didn't want to disappoint her by saying "Oh, were going to the zoo for our first date." Yeah sounds like a convincing relationship. Anyways... I pull up to her house around 5. I told her to dress comfortable, she looks divine even when she's dressed down. She was wearing black skinny jeans, and a purple button up blouse. "Hey Gorgeous!" I said handing her a single orange Lily. I didn't feel it was quite right for a rose. We linked arms while walking to the car. "Where are we going?" she asked. "You'll see." I answered. "I like surprises." she added. "Good. I promise you won't be disappointed." I said, flashing a smile.

We pulled in to the parking lot of the zoo. I looked over at Jelly. She wasn't quite disappointed, she was more curious, especially when I didn't wait in line to pay, we went through a door off to the side. "Are we sneaking in?" she said playfully. "My sisters the manager, we get in free." I informed.
We walked around a bit, pointing and commenting on the animals, like normal people do at the zoo. We came to the meerkats. Jelly leaned over the glass commenting on how cute they were. She stuck her hand out trying to attract one's attention. "Do you want to play with them?" I asked. She looked at me stunned. "Are you serious?" she said. I pulled my sister's manager key from my pocket. Behind all of the animals cages, is a place where they bathe, feed, and lock up the animals overnight. A few meerkats had been pulled to be fed. I walked over to the small metal feeding cage. I reached in and gently picked up one of the tiny furry creatures. Cradling it in my arm, I turned to Jelly. She was still surprised that we were allowed to be doing this. She reached out and pet the meerkat. After a while playing with the meerkats, we spent time "behind the scenes." We fed the penguins and alligators and even got to see the new baby tigers.
After wandering the unknown parts of the zoo, it was about time for dinner. I love getting benefits from my sister's job =). Near the middle of the zoo by the hippos and otters, there's a large pond, and in the middle of the pond is a small island with a gazebo. I had arrangements for dinner under the gazebo. Well, my sister went above and beyond my expectations. The pond was surrounded in orchids and from the gazebo hung twinkling lights. The only way to the gazebo is a small boat, it's completely surrounded by water. I had a picnic set up underneath it.
We ate and talked and laughed. It absolutely had to be the best first date I've ever been on, and I wouldn't have wanted it to be with anyone else.
It got late, and I had to take Jelly home. We pulled up to her house and I walked her to her front door. She turned before opening the door, "I had a..." she was searching for the right word and ended up picking two "...a marvelously, fascinating time." She said with that smile of hers that I love so much. I smiled back, "I'm glad." I said "I told you, you wouldn't be disappointed." She smiled recalling my words earlier. "That's actually the first time I saw all of that too." I added. "I wasn't positive that we would completely have the access that we did." "So you weren't disappointed either!" She guessed. "With you...I never could be." I stated. I brushed her cheek and pulled her forehead to my lips. After saying goodnight, I turned and headed home, hesitantly putting an end to the best first date of my life with the best person in it.
