Bustorama-Thread 1

OK, back from W's apt. I didn't ask her for an a$$ massage since she called me over due to her pain (somehow would seem insensitive, hehe). After her mandatory exhibition of T to me and showing me every nook and cranny of her areolas...I didn't boil any parsley tea or foot massage or even back massage her this time. I made dinner for the kids and myself (she had eaten a late lunch), bathed the kids, played Caribou with the kids, read the kids bedtime stories and tucked them in. I covered W with a blanket and she fell asleep on the couch and slept about half the time (really pooped).

While she was awake, we chatted about misc stuff. She said, hey tomorrow there is this kids' band (that our kids like) playing at something at 6 pm. I said that sounds like fun to me, would you like to come? She said yeah definitely if she can get off work in time (so her sort of initiating more time together [albeit family time together]).

When I left, I said ok I gotta get to the gym, I'll see you later W and headed for door. She said bye in a sweet voice from couch and when I got to door and turned around to wave, she had chased me to door and she asked me if she could have a hug. I said, sure and we hugged. When she pulled back she said, "Are you my best friend?", and I said, "right now." Then I said come here I'm gonna hug you again, and she said ok but be careful with the boobs they still hurt. And I said, "I like the boobs."

With the progression of trust/affection back towards love from a hurt place, doesn't it go friend --> best friend --> love attraction (isn't that how the Harley / Marriage Builders / Love Bucket idea works?). I mean I don't want to be pigeonholed into a "friend" category, but my understanding of the love bucket idea is you proceed through a friend/best friend category on the way back to attraction/love affection? Or am I hitting the pipe too much?

Off to gym...
