it'll be just a couple of minutes

a few minutes later we are following a pleasant hostess to a table with four chairs.  now there are only two of us and here comes the dilemma;  do we sit on the same side of the table cozied up next to each other or do we sit across from each other?

i'm sure you have all been witness to that couple that sits next to each other at a restaurant and can't seem to keep their hands off each other and you think to yourself get a room!  this couple doesn't seem to notice anyone else in their presence.  this couple seems surprised when a wait staff person breaks the invisible bubble that they are in.  they barely break eye contact, they feed each other, kiss, embrace...barf has always been my reaction to this couple. 

oh dear lord, i have become this couple.  when i am with matt, there is rarely a time when our bodies aren't physically touching one another.  we hold hands, he doesn't let go even though my hands are always clammy.  when sitting next to each other our legs are touching from hip to knee cap and sometimes our feet.  when we sleep something is always touching it might just be our feet, but i can feel him next to me all through the night.  we are like magnets and naturally gravitate towards each other.

so we ended up sitting on the same side of table, as we always do unless our kids are with us.  our chairs were scooted as close together as they could be.  our legs were touching.  often times he had his arm around me.  i had my hand on his leg for most of the time we spent at the restaurant.  since i have always thought barf when i see this couple, i am conscious of the other patrons, but honestly i really don't care who is watching.
