Ok so it's taken me a while to be able to actually write this here because I've been on cloud freaking nine since then. Well I did end up going to Westerner Days in Red Deer with Cory and it was fun even though we didn't go to the Marianas Trench concert and there were a few unhappy events. I was so nervous when I left my house and honestly I'm amazed Grampa let me go. The drive was fun and filled with random conversation and jamming out to music. We got to the grounds as soon as it opened and there were already obsessive teen girls camping out by the doors of where the concert was to be held. We wandered around a bit and got out wristbands. After going on Zero Gravity we found this weird thing that two people can go and and you get spun around in so many different directions like there's no gravity at all. It looked kool so we decided to try it, TL and Lawson went on together and I went on with Cory, he wouldn't let me pay for myself either...silly boy. Then we wandered around a bit more and decided to look at some animals. Cory just laughed when I was excited about the baby pigs and how they snorted when I petted them. We also walked through this market thing, kind of like a Trade show only a few more western things. After a bit we went back out and everyone wanted to play games, well at least Lizzi and TL did. Cory decided to try once at this shooting game. Among all the prizes there was this HUGE unicorn that Lizzi fell in love with and had to have. So they stayed there playing and spending loads of money until finally the carny decided they'd played enough to win it. Lawson took it back to the car and disappeared for quite a while. Lizzi got restless and upset over this after we sat and waited by the entrance for about half an hour. So we walked back to where the car was parked and found it gone. I thought Lizzi was going to go berserk, but she just asked to borrow Cory's phone and called Lawson for the millionth time and found out he'd ran home for ear plugs for the concert. She told him we'd decided against the concert so we could go on more rides. Most of the rest of the day passed without too much event. Other than a spat between Lizzi and Lawson that had us leave the grounds early and head back to their place. Cory was worried about me being comfortable staying the night since I didn't know them that well. I told him I'd be fine and that I could deal with anything, but I was worried about Lizzi. He just reassured me that she was fine and that I shouldn't have to deal with stuff. That he could drive us home if I wanted. In the end we stayed. Lizzi and them went to bed after saying I could stay on the couch, and Cory in the basement when we were tired and that we were allowed to watch TV or game. We just sat on the couch quietly for a bit until Cleo the cat came out and was acting rather insane. I was excited and called out only to have the cat look and walk away. I couldn't believe it, the cat rejected me. Cory just pulled me close and hugged me saying it was ok. Then he decided to put on the xbox and try Halo on live. It was so much fun to watch him play, strange as that sounds. I mean those game characters die so dramatically it's hilarious. And the awkward convo's some of those guys with mic's have, just wow. Then there's Cory, who gets so into the game that he literally vibrates and bounces, it's kute but funny. He went on a major killing streak winning in Red Vs Blue. After winning around and coming out as the top player on his team, Cory and I high fived, but when our hangs met, he entwined his fingers with mine. I was shocked but didn't pull away which is unusual for me, but I was comfortable with Cory, it was natural. Then when the next game loaded he let go, instead cuddling up close to me. In between rounds he'd hold my hand again, sometimes even forgetting about the game as we cuddled closer, his arm around my waist and the other holding my hand. He would lean on me still when he sat up to play, at one point asking me if "Isn't it usually the other way around, girls cuddle up to boys". I just giggled softly and told him that it didn't matter. When he started getting excited and riled up over being killed, I rubbed his back gently and said it was ok. Cory calmed right down and seemed like all his guard went down and he leaned back against me, saying no one had rubbed his back like that but it felt good and that I calmed him down. So I kept rubbing his back softly, then he sat up pulling my close rubbing my back before gently playing with my hair. I whispered that I liked that, that it was calming to have my hair played with. After much stubbornness from both of us I decided at 4 am that we should sleep, he hugged me goodnight and retired to the basement. A bit after 8 am, Cleo jumped on me meowing for attention and waking me up. I sat up and petted her a bit telling her to hush. When the stupid cat decided she'd had her share of attention she trotted off again. I couldn't get back to sleep after that and decided to play with my cell phone, until Cory appeared. I asked why he was up so early, and he told me he couldn't sleep cause it was cold downstairs and stuff. He then walked over to the couch, pulled the blanket up and cuddled up underneath it with me. And damn he was cold, but it was ok, I don't mind cuddling with him is nice anyway. We shifted a bit and soon I think we both drifted back to sleep. I guess it's true I do really trust him, since not only did I sleep around him, but I slept right along side him lol. Shortly after we woke up Lizzi came downstairs and asked if we'd both slept on the couch. We both shook our heads still cuddled up. We moved so Lizzi could join us on the couch, and turned on the TV to watch Saturday morning cartoons. I was starting to feel sick, and didn't find out til later it was heat stroke. But at the time I thought i was contagious and mentioned maybe Cory shouldn't stay so close to me in case he got sick. Cory just smiled, cuddled up to me and said he didn't care. So we just stayed cuddled up like that for a while still holding hand, Lizzi didn't even say a thing about it. On the ride home Cory ended up holding my hand again, and I couldn't say that was lack of sleep, I asked if he minded us being like that, he said no. Then we got to talking about Charlies Angels since we'd watched it at Lizzi's that morning. I said I'd be Dylan the Drew Barrymore character cause she's kick ass. Cory said "But she likes bad guys, does that mean I have to be bad?" I just laughed, hiding my blush and said no. Later I teased him that on second thought bad boys sound pretty fun, Cory wrinkled his nose, glaring at me saying that wasn't fair.
