I make boys cry.

Last night was my surprise Valentine's Day thing for Travis. I had been planning this for a while. Here's what I was going to do:

- Conspire with Jason (paleo) to get Travis out of the house, and then conspire with Elizabeth and Clare to let me in and set everything up
- I got sushi (including his favorite roll from Hapa called the 69 roll, it's heavenly) and sake and the dishware (chopsticks, sake set, etc.) and candles
- Wear a very nice Chinese silk robe (yay for ebay, it came direct from Shanghai)

So basically it was a nice dinner and I got strawberries and chocolate and whipped cream for desert (also chocolate covered fortune cookies which I forgot at my place).

Well so here's how it went. Travis and I went to the gym after my radio show, and then we'd have brunch in Sewall. So while we stretching Trav said that his dad called to have lunch with him but he was going to have dinner with him instead since we were going to do brunch.
I paused, "tonight?"
"Yes, why?"
"No reason.....shit."
"What?"
"Nothing. Really? Tonight?"
So I had to tell him that I had something planned for the night for him. I felt really really bad though because he had made plans. I didn't want to tell him what to do. He was shocked and a little scared....he was like...."what are you planning...?"

So after I showered, I picked up the remainder of the stuff and headed over to Trav's place. He was asleep in his room and I was able to get in the building and Clare let me in. She and I chatted while I prepared everything. To give him as gift, I had crocheted him a scarf that faded into greens and blues, it almost looked dyed that way when it was finished but it's just the way the yarn was dyed. It is so pretty. It's by far the best scarf I have ever made for someone. I also got him a red feather rose. I had made him a card as well.

I got everything ready, I set up the coffee table with all the sushi and dishware and put cushions on the floor to sit on. I knocked on his door and woke him. He was so shocked. I asked him what he thought I was going to do and he told me he expected dinner and candles but nothing quite like this. The sake was pretty good, I liked it better chilled rather than warmed. I think it was just the type I got. The thing I love about sake is that is doesn't make me drunk or tipsy, just very mellow and warm and happy. We laughed alot. I smile and laugh alot with Travis. He was a little bit more quiet and daydreamer than usual.

While I was cleaning up some of the stuff after we polished off an entire container of strawberries, we held eachother in the kitchen for a long while. Suddenly Trav's body started shaking and it took me a second to figure out but he was crying. I was shocked..."What's wrong?"....he shook his head and then whispered "This is so nice." I held him again and he started crying again, "It's so beautiful." I was so in awe, I love how gentle and sensitive he is. He is just amazing. It was the best reaction. I love him so much.

The night was absolutely fucking amazing. I almost started crying in the middle of the night because I was so happy. I just wanted to lay in his arms forever.
