Nathan Exposed: the naked truth about my gay life

January 2001…

Before Rodney and I were officially a couple, we lived in the same apartment complex, with just a driveway separating us. I liked going to his apartment. It was so cozy and always smelled like banana bread. To this day, it’s a mystery why I thought it smelled that way. He didn’t have anything banana bread scented in there, but oh well… That’s what it made me think of.

He loved candles, flowers, and plants. That set a peaceful tone in his home. It was a relaxing environment and when I stopped by every night after work to see him, I often wondered what it would be like if I could come home to that forever.

After our visit, I would leave, and a few hours later, Rodney would wind down and go to bed. He has always been a morning person, so he went to bed early at night. On the other hand, I have always been a night person, so I was still up.

So late at night, once I was certain he was asleep, I would sneak over and leave love notes at his door for him to find in the morning. I was like some romantic hero, appearing mysteriously in the night and leaving a surprise to start his day with.

I just felt like sharing that. :)

      A romantic….excellent. We have left our huge share of notes, cards, flowers, etc through the years. I don’t take, even one, for granted.

          I have loved reading all the entries the past couple of days. This one in particular brought tears to my eyes.

            You’re both such sweethearts. Hetro men could take a note or two from you.

            much love :)

              Awww. That is kinda sweet :) leaving love notes for him to find…

              Of course if I did that, my boyfriend would wonder what I’ve been up to.

                That’s the way true romance should be..a never ending supply of little ways to say how much you care!! I really enjoy your blog.

                  That’s cute.
                  You reminded me that I need to be a little more of a spontaneous romantic ;)
