Never been with a Gemini, and they are of two faces.  My brother-in-law and sister say that they believe he's scared...Damn it all...so am I...and while I want to play it cool and not open myself up for hurt and disappointment...I also want him to see me...at the shades and depth of me. 

The man tells a check out girl who says.;."Your husband is sexy." while looking at me....He jumps in with "We aren't married...we're lovers and good friends."  I blink....in his book that's high praise...then in the truck not 10 minutes later he does the 180 degree reversal and I hear that our relationship is...convenient.  That he likes the fact that either or both of us is....replaceable.  That he (or I) can walk away any time and it won't mean anything to the other person."

I swallow hard and simply reply, "To me...you aren't replaceable."  And I bite the inside of my cheek and turn my face away so he can't see it. ....Damn but the man is dense...he says things which while I know he doesn't mean them to hurt me...do real well at keeping me at arms length. 

Why would any woman want to stay around...under those terms?  I can think of several.  He's never known a woman who didn't crap on him with the exception of his mother and Sissy.  He said last night more than once, that he was just being cautious....and I understand that too - in any relationship;  Sure I want to be the exception, the woman he can trust and who won't play him false.  Yes I'm patient because he's a damn good man....and it's been so long since I even believed they existed.....(with a few notible exceptions and they were all unavailable).  So I'll take a lot...and keep my eye on the end result, which hopefully will come to pass. The goal that he loves me ....that is all I ask.  Doesn't sound like much I guess....but to me...it's what makes life worth all of the rest.  Not just the great sex, not just the fun, the companionship, not just the sense of connection....so yeah....I want it all. 

And if it doesn't happen?  Then we will be good friends, family.....and I'll show him how a woman of my kind....can do that too;.
