Intro....part 2

Meant for me........every girl has a mental list of the characteristics that makes up their perfect match.  Of course, as we get older it changes some.  Some of mine.....funny AND can make fun of themselves, cares about other people, blue eyes, can express their feelings, plays guitar (so they can sing to me), dark hair.....just to name a few.  When I met the one who was meant for me, I wasn't looking for him.  We met in a class and he encouraged me to apply where he worked.  I did and a year later or so, was hired at the same fire department as him.  Still wasn't looking, or even really noticing, for anyone.  Contrary to popular belief, chicks DON'T become firefighters for the guys.......You form different relationships with your co-workers on a fire department than any other job.  You have to.  You depend on one another with your life.  I was on the department for an entire year before it happened really.  From day 1, he was always the most helpful at training me to be part of the department.  I liked that, and felt comfortable asking him for the help.  When it was time for me to learn how to drive the equipment, (once I was cleared to go with someone other than an officer) he took the time to get me my hours.  Our relationship evolved from just a friendship around this time.  I didn't mean for it to happen.  We had so much in common, and understood the whole fire department dynamic.  We spent hours in the middle of the night together when we'd get a late-night call, while our significant others were at home asleep.  I know, its all very cliche.  He fit the check-list though......and once I started to see this, I could see nothing else.  Those sparkling eyes that transformed from blue to green and back to blue.  The dark, beautiful lashes.  I loved how they were always watching me.
I fell for him really hard and fast.  It only took a couple months of REALLY looking at him to know he was created just for me.  I still believe that.....just so we are clear.  This is all written in past tense just to give a history.  Much (too much) has happened between then and now, but it doesn't change whats been written in the stars.  I was put on this earth for this man, and he for me.
