No phone call!

So I tried calling my, dare I say, boyfriend...ugh, it still sounds so weird to say, so instead, I'll just use his name: Bricks, a couple of times last week to see how he was. His phone seemed to be off and it went directly to his voice mail. I left a rather bitchy message that went something like: "Hey, it's me. I don't know if you're screening calls, or you just don't want to talk to me, but I just called to say hello. If you want, call me back. Or whatever."

I turns out that the message was totally uncalled for because he was in the hospital. Apparently he had pneumonia and had been in the hospital for a week! So when he called me on Sunday afternoon, he explained this to me at which point I still protested that he could have called to let me know. He told me that he couldn't call because, 1) he was in the hostpial 2) he couldn't move. To this I responded with: "You could have died! You know, come to think of it, if you did die, I would come to your funeral and bitch slap you and then start screaming that you didn't call!" He just chuckled at this last statement. Of course he thinks I'm joking, when clearly, I was being extremely serious.

I guess all of this brings me to the conclusion that, *deep breath,* I do care about him.

That took me two years to say. And that's as far as I'm going to go. At least for now. We'll see what happens after this point.
