So Valentine’s Day…ugh…not a holiday I particularly cherish. It’s too pink for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love the chocolate that typically comes with the day but all that lovely dovey stuff gets a little noxious and seems so…put on?
To me, romance doesn’t just happen one day of the year, and
even though I write erotic romance where everything is hot, heavy and all tied
up into a neat little bow by the end, real life and real love isn’t always
pink.
As I’ve mentioned in past posts, I’m not the most romantic
of folks. I don’t ewwww and awww over flowers (actually, I hate getting
flowers) and jewelry. I don’t like
the gushy bad poetry that flies around all over the place. I’m not into teddy
bears or other cutie things. If my husband ever posted a sappy love note to me
on FB I would barf and then kill him. I understand that some women love that
kinda thing but that’s not what romance is to me.
Recently, my hubs and I were having a conversation about a
situation at work that I was dealing with. I was very upset that I wasn’t
getting support about a really important issue.
Me: “I just don’t understand why they won’t stand up and
fight along side me. It’s important for us all to stand strong.”
Hubs: “Because they are all cowards, Angie. And you, are
not.”
I swear, those words actually had me tearing up a bit, (I
didn’t let on of course cause I’m a tough lady) but his support, at that
moment, was exactly what I needed to hear and those words were the epitome of
romantic to me. He gets me. That’s better than bad poetry, ugly roses,
expensive jewelry, maybe even chocolate (gasp) and corny posts on my FB
timeline.
