In 2009, August 10th, I met for the second time, my one true love. I say for the second time because I had actually met him in junior school all the way back in 1999. When we were small, we were just mere acquaintances, barely speaking all that much to each other. However my best friend at the time told me he had a crush on me. Nothing came of it as his parents got divorced and he moved away.
In 2009, I was messing around on Facebook one day and saw that one of my friends had added him as a friend. I was intrigued and excited to see him once again as it had been so long and I wanted to know how he had been and what he has been doing with his life. So I decided at that very moment I was going to send him a friend request. Then I totally freaked out. All these thoughts went rushing through my head, what if he didn’t remember me, or even recognize me? What if he thought I grew up to be ugly and thought I was some creepy stalker? I, as you can see, panicked, big time!
To my surprise he didn’t think any of those things (obviously I was just being a sensitive woman) and he was just so excited to see me and catch up. We instantly clicked and chatted everyday for two weeks straight. Finally we made a plan to meet up for a drink. I was so nervous because I was currently in a bad relationship, which was a break-up waiting to happen, and mainly because I was meeting someone I liked for the first time in 14 years. Finally the day had come, he had smiled instantly when seeing me and said to me I was even more beautiful than he remembered. We then sat down and had our drink, well a few drinks. He made me laugh the entire time we were together; it was just so easy for me to be myself with him. Then the end of the night came and after hours together, he walked me to my car. I so desperately wanted to lean into him and kiss those luscious lips, but I knew I wasn’t one hundred percent single and I didn’t want to start anything on that note. We lingered there for a while before he finally hugged me and opened my car door, I could swear he was feeling what I was feeling.
I broke up with my boyfriend immediately and then after a while, well exactly 5 days, he asked me out on a date. He knew I loved animals and took me to a bird park slash pet store, where he wanted to buy me a bunny; we ended up getting a pug puppy. It was the best day of my life. He was so sweet, kept me laughing, we had plenty of fun playing with all the animals and he was an absolute gentleman. I took him home to meet my family and they instantly hit it off. At the end of the evening we had our first kiss, it was so heavenly, as he bent forward and I felt his breath on my cheek, my whole body froze. I had never had this feeling before, when we locked lips finally it was as if time had stopped and all I could do was let him take control and hold my face in the palm of his hands.
The next day we had separate dinners, but as the evening past and I was missing him uncontrollably, he showed up on his motorcycle and I saw him standing at the entrance with his helmet in his hand. He walked straight passed the doorman, waitresses and my entire table of friends, gripped me from my seat and gave me one long passionate kiss. Finally when he let go, he said in front of everyone, that he couldn’t go the night without kissing me again and that’s all he could think about for the last few hours we had been apart. My friends were gob smacked and all stood there in a trance at how amazing this man was. He later rocked up at my gates; he wanted to check if I was safely home. I walked down my driveway, with no makeup on and in my pajamas. We stood at the bottom and he said to me that I was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, he had been in love with me since we were little and he was the luckiest man in the world. He then picked me up, let me wrap my legs around him and we kissed, as if we were the only two people left on the earth.
I knew there and then, that this man was the man of my dreams he was the one!
