Dear lord, I have been such a good girl, please give me the job. Please.
yes, my fault.
but i wish you’d warn me about all those things BEFORE they actually happen.
And you have a great way of making me feel like i ROYALLY Messed Up.
And I hate that.

Text.
i dreamt that Julia and then Stella told me my progress at Text was compromised because of my dogged determination not to participate in office politics.
Marc sat by as usual and refused to do anything, faking oblivion to anything going on, with Janice feeding her evil ways into his ear.
EWWWWWW!!!

S: I love you. I love you more when you're 27 than when you were 26.
L: How's that possible?
S: I don't know, I just can't explain it.

Forgotten.
It feels so strange that you’re not around, the first time in more than half a year.
It’s like back to my JBR days of spending all Friday in bed and alone, flat out from the work week. I get up at 9 in the evening to realise that it’s already dark, and the day has silently slipped by.
Some weekdays, I take a short nap, and it’s dark when I get up, but always to a kiss,...

Crazy find. →
i wish...
that we didn’t have histories to deal with.
Because I’m not too good with it.
I start freaking out and feel pressured that he wants me to be like her.
finnsblog1 asked: Your blog is algebraic
S: do you know what i'm most afraid of?
that when i get back from my holidays in a month’s time, you will not be here.
A tout a l'heure
Ma cherie, que j’aime tres fort.

You know, I never believed in marriages because I always felt they were for convenience’s sake, or just a marriage for the family.
…..
But then, maybe a strange french man comes along and changes all that.
I don’t want you to just be my girlfriend anymore, I want you to be my wife.
I just hope that when that when I ask, you won’t say no.
the unexpected things he says.
Your skin is so sweet…
me: …. (??!)
like… satin.

"i miss you", he said, as he lay in bed.
“I’m sorry?”
“I know that I’ll start missing you as soon as I leave this bed.”
“I wish I’d never have to go to work, so I can spend my whole life lying next to you, then my life would be perfect. That would be the perfect life.”
and so the final birthday message was...
Dearest S,
Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but only by the number of moments that take your breath away.
Joyeux Anniversaire, mon cheri.
Je t’aime.
Love,
L.

Thanks
that’s only the second time i heard my father showing that he’s really happy
i will never thank you enough for that
i spoke with him just now on the phone just to know how it is
and he was just so happy
thank you so much
without you it will never happen
you’re more than the best
you’re perfect
i love you so much
never felt as good as this before
you will...
“You make everyone around you so happy, you deserve to be happy.”
It's really important that you answer this.
S: do you want children?
L: ....
S: It's really important that you answer this.
L: yes of course.
S: that's good. [Pause] so you don't care if I want children or not?
L: well you've already said that you do.
S: true. But a confirmation would have been nice!
LOL
S: so what happens if you really don't get your period?
L: .... Erm... We'll think about it when it happens?
S: well I know what I'm going to do if you get pregnant. I'll be so happy. I'll have to marry you first. And that's definitely not going to be a problem.
What's that look on your face?
And he’s smiling and smiling.
What are you thinking?
Continues smiling.
Nothing you need to know about.
What? Tell me!
I’m thinking about when I am going to ask you to marry me.
I'm really not kidding when I say
That I love you more with each day.
I don’t know how that’s possible, but it’s true.
I can’t put your name in the credits of a National Geographic documentary, but I really really really really love you.
You're my princess, he said.
It seems the expression of love is universal.
the first thing he says on the phone is: hello,...
I knew I had to see you again after that evening. With you, I just had to see you every weekend, then I thought about you every day. And then I had to see you every day. And that was it, I was trapped.
You’re doing it again! Why do you have to be so irresistable and cute and sexy and smile in order to trap me!
What do you want for breakfast?
You are so beautiful.
I have to stop myself...
gift giving
I know I messed up for the presents and you don’t like them.
I can’t lie.
Can you at least give them to someone who would use them?
I’m just going to bring you to nice restaurants in future because at least that way I won’t mess up because I know that you love to eat.
How is it that you always get me things I absolutely adore and I don’t know how to do the...
i feel so so so so so happy when i'm with you
i feel so happy no matter what, as long as I’m with you.
Even shopping at IKEA with you makes me happy.
i think it may be the most romantic present ever
I’m going to pay for your driving lessons for your birthday.
why?
because you need a driver’s license!
and I end up with a teaspoon and mustard in my bottega - that’s for being with someone so thoughtful and so crazy about food. Hilarious.
he makes my heart melt into oblivion
I feel so happy when I’m with you. I feel so happy falling asleep next to you every night, and waking up next to you every morning.
All you have to do is smile, and it kills me.
You make my life better.
I’m so afraid of losing you.
S: You deserve someone so much better, and I know that.
L: Why would you say that.
S: Because you're so cute and intelligent, and you could have anyone you wanted while I'm not good looking, skinny, and not wealthy. Ok, I have the job, but still. You're the closest I'll ever find to the one I'm looking for and the one I want to be with. I will never find someone better, or more perfect, and I know that. Sometimes I don't know if you're just a difficult person, or you're making things difficult because you know that you are too good for me.

joyeux anniversaire, mon chéri.
Having assets doesn’t make you rich, anymore than
having a perfect face makes you beautiful.
But a heart of gold shines through
Priceless and bright,
beyond anything you could ever imagine.
Enchanting, charming, and touching me so deeply.
Je t’aime.
P/S: I said it in a poem first. ;-)
L: My friends always said that I would lead the perfect life. My boyfriend would be a model, and we would be Ken and Barbie.
S: I love you too much. Because even a small thing like that hurts.
L: Oh come on, they said that something like 12 years ago. And it wasn't a comment relating to anything now, it was just a random passing thought.
a man's beauty
Do you know what I’m thinking every time I look at you?
That you’re so beautiful.
It may not exactly be what you would expect,
and I’m sorry for that,
but you are beautiful to me.
S: So you'll take the apartment and the boy?
L: You mean the boy has to come along with the apartment?
S: Yea, there are no 2 ways about it.
L: Damn!!
I only ever get what I want, and you better... →
I love this apartment, it’s so beautiful.
And it’s ours!!!
What else?
You’re intelligent:
You’re able to tell me things I don’t already know, and honestly, not many people can do that. Because I think most people are stupid.
And you make me laugh, so hard. I know what makes me laugh, and only someone really witty can. It’s like you think about something 5 lines ahead and deliver it so well scripted, it’s flawless.
And I think the...
And how else did I know?
Do you remember when I wanted to go home over Eid but couldn’t because there were no flights available? I was really really really upset, I’m not sure if you knew how much… but I was.
And the thing is, you somehow still managed to make me laugh in spite of how I was feeling.
And no one else has been able to do that, with the exception of 2 other people. One is my ex-boyfriend, and the...
S: So why me? You still haven't told me.
L: Do you know how I knew that I wanted to be with you? It was when you were really sick and you told me you were in the hospital. I was so worried I was losing my mind. You can ask my colleague. I was going crazy but there was nothing I could do about it. I thought about it, and then I realised that I could not deal with not having you in my life.
So if you weren’t ill, it would probably have taken a lot longer, much, much longer.
S: To be honest if that didn’t happen, I don’t think we would be together now.
