A Little Lady

I have had several people over the last couple of months ask if there is a girl in my life. So, I thought I would finally give an honest answer. The answer is yes, there is a girl in my life, we are actually living together, it’s a big step I know, but I think we are both ready for it. She is a few years younger than me, but very mature for her age. She is from a village just outside of town, but understands English. Occasionally there will be small misunderstandings due to her still learning the language, but mostly not. Also, me being an American, and her a local, she is very defensive of me, something greatly needed here. She is very strong willed and will not tolerate ill treatment when boys sometimes tease her about being with me. It is wonderful, she actually works at home, mostly, so it is great to come home at the end of the workday and have her at the door to meet me. Also, she is quite athletic and enjoys running everyday some how finding space to do it in the small garden that we have. She has precious, deep brown eyes and a dark complexion with a few lighter highlights. We are able to spend a good bit of time together, taking walks through the city at sunset, the occasional motorcycle ride, although she is not as big a fan of that as I. She loves to listen to me play guitar, and will sit for hours and listen to me play. We are still working out the responsibilities of cleaning up around the house, but slowly we are coming to an agreement, she is wonderful to let me cook anytime I want, it being something I enjoy greatly. I don’t know how she does it, she is able to eat and eat, licking a plate clean, and still stay fit. I am blessed that she likes my cooking. We share a couple of common taste that we can enjoy together, she likes pancakes, the occasional coffee, watermelon, and absolutely loves a good steak, my kind of girl. It is quite soothing to have someone around, to cuddle up next to me for a movie, or make sure I am up in time for work, as well as just bringing joy with her youthful frolicking. I have been blessed with her companionship, and I have been able to give her a life far removed from the fighting and ill treatment she would have received in the villages.
Well…. A satirical look into my life and that of the little lady in it.
