Visiting More Than a Girlfriend in Fort Worth

Curtis could not stop dreaming about his upcoming trip to Fort Worth, Texas. It wasn’t so much that he was in love with the city, although he definitely had a great time there every time he went. The reason Curtis was so eager to visit this great Texan town was that his girlfriend Carly had recently transferred to Texas Wesleyan University and he hadn’t seen her in almost four months. When she had first been accepted and Curtis found out she really was going to complete her final two years of college in Fort Worth he didn’t think the long distance nature that was about to attach itself to their relationship was going to be difficult or troublesome. In fact, Curtis was even so bold as to think the distance would give him the additional space he thought he wanted. Now though, he greatly longed to be staying in a hotel of luxury in Fort Worth to be near Carly.

However, this far into her first year at Wesleyan Curtis realized he was greatly missing not only Carly but certain aspects of her life that he thought bothered him. For instance, he was now a regular, though private and secret, watcher of Desperate Housewives and every Saturday he would stop at a Baskin Robbins for two scoops of mint chocolate ice cream. He even found himself listening to Carly’s cds of Justin Timberlake and Pink that she had left behind. It’s not that he felt anything was inherently wrong or un-masculine with these things, it’s just that they were definite favorites of Carly’s and she’s the one that introduced them into his life. So, he felt like they weren’t exactly his and that used to be able to pretend like she was forcing him to watch shows like House Wives and he felt a little guilty tuning in on his own.

So, when Curtis arrived at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport Carly was there with her bright eyes and huge smile waiting for him. He was so excited to see her but also excited to enjoy a nice cup of homemade cocoa with tiny marshmallows. This was another treat that although he acknowledged was very good he stressed that he would partake only because Carly wanted him to so badly. After a week of enjoying each other’s company and spending time at the Fort Worth Zoo, the Sid Richardson Museum and other great cultural attractions, on his last night in town Curtis finally had to ask Carly if she was going to make her Cocoa, and Carly laughed and reminded him that she had once told him she knew he would ask for it one day.
