Tricycle's Tables Have Turned

Ok.

Not sure how likely it is that I'll get a decent post written, but I'm gonna give it a shot.

SO... Tricycle is international at the moment, and has been for about 3 weeks now.  I went on a family trip for 2 weeks, and am now just with my sister, staying at a friend's place in another country, which I could name, but I'd rather continue with this well-kept veil of mystery...  I'm here for less than a week more, and then back to my life in Canada.

Believe it or not, I'm pumped to get home.  I am having and have had an unreal time, but I miss my apartment, my job, and just being in a place that I know and where all my shit is.  Living out of a suitcase leaves something to be desired for me, you know?

Also, I happen to have someone waiting back at home for me.  Yes, it is true, Tricycle has finally found herself a girlfriend.  Perhaps "girlfriend" isn't the word to be using yet, but potential girlfriend for sure.  Her name is K. and I've known her for a really long time.  We went to the same church when we were younger and had many mutual friends, and then went to the same university.  It was at uni that I realized she was queer, AND that she was dating a girl in a group of friends that I often dipped in and out of.

ANYWAY - the weekend before I left, I went to a club that she was at and we had a whole flirtation thing going on... some hand holding, some grinding, etc.  The next day she asked me to meet her downtown and hang for a bit, so we did.  Then she wanted to hang out that night... so my friend J. and I met her for some drinks, and while drinking and smoking on a patio, she reached over and held my hand.  I saw sparks.

So... since I left, she broke up with her GF and has emailed me every day, wanting me more and more as days go by...

I want her too.  I want her to be my girlfriend and for us to fall in love...

Am I moving too fast?  Does she need more time between her last relationship and me?

I just want this to work, so I need to breathe, relax, and take it one step at a time.  I mean, I'm totally falling for her, but...  Actually, there's no "but".  I trust my instincts.  It'll all be ok.
