​Our first date

The anticipation of seeing you again after we first met was too real. I was super excited and so nervous all at the same time. I wasn’t sure what to expect. After the amazing night we spent chatting at the party, getting to know each other – laughing, sharing….it all still feels a little unreal – like maybe I dreamt meeting you, like maybe I could still be dreaming- can you really feel so connected to someone after such a short time?

I hear your truck pull up and give myself a last glance in the mirror – my jeans hugging all the right places, my black top showing the right amount of cleavage and curves without being to obvious and of course the cowboy boots – we can’t forget those – I smile thinking it will do – I grab my maroon suede jacket and head out to meet you by the door. As soon as I open the door my heart skips a beat and I know all my doubts from earlier where unfounded- I am not dreaming because there you are – standing at my door- smiling at me – that smile is one I know is going to get me in so much trouble.

‘Hey Baby girl, ready to go?’

Flip, every freaken time. I wonder if I will ever get tired of that accent….I somehow don’t think so…

We walk towards your truck. I asked you where we are headed and you said it was a surprise. I climb in. In the back of my mind I wonder why I am not scared to get into the truck with, in essence, a virtual stranger? Someone I have only met once…for all I know you could be a serial killer…but here I am fully trusting that you are who you say you are. The realization hits, that although we have only just met, I feel like I have known you my whole life, that you have always been there – not physically – but in every dream, hope and plan I had for the future – I feel like you were already there. The idea of you so embedded in my soul that when we did eventually meet it just felt right.

We drive out to the middle of nowhere and you park the truck where there is a breathtaking view of the mountains. You pull out a picnic basket and 2 blankets- always the gentlemen. I smile. We enjoy the picnic and watch the sun set, talking like long lost friends – our hearts connecting in a way I have never felt before – our souls entwined – as the stars come out and light up the now pitch black sky – you pull me into those arms and kiss me for the first time, to describe a perfect moment would be an understatement- it was new, exciting, tantalizing but at the same time so familiar- I knew there and then that I never wanted to be kissed by anyone ever again- that this – this is where I wanted to be – now and forever – that you were my destiny.
