Here's To The Past.

I guess, we should begin where it all started. Back at the start, back where my outlook on life and love changed.

So it's January 2013, I've been messaging this girl (let's call her C) for weeks and weeks. We finally set up a time and date to go out for a coffee. So, we met up in the city and both took a stroll through the harbor. We came across this little cafe and decided to have our coffee there - It was a nice little place, the decor was amazing, a little cafe called La Renaissance.

We sat down at a table outside in the garden. And so, we began talking face-to-face. We ended up talking about places where we wanted to travel too and other things. And for a split second, the thought of losing her came into my mind and I told myself that I needed to work my hardest to become someone she wanted and needed. I noticed that my happiness grew expotencially when she was around. I knew from that moment, from that time we went and got coffee she would make me happy.

A few more weeks past, I took the step of actually asking her out on a date. To Lady Tsunades Wax Museum. I was excited, like a little child who was going to a lolly shop with $10 and being told they could get what they wanted. We met up in the same spot as we did for our coffee a few weeks back and we started to walk towards the museum. Randomly, I received a phone call from my sister who I lived with, saying that our place was broken into. This became a shock and I told C that I needed to go home because of the break-in. She was like "that's cool, I'll come along" and I was like "are you sure? it's further away to where you live. I just don't want to put you out of your way". She told me that it's fine. So we set off for a trip back to my place.

After arriving at my place, it was getting dark and I didn't want her to travel back home at night on the train so I asked her if she wanted to stay the night. She was like "I'll need to call my mum". Sure, go for it. And after a quick phone call, she said that she could. Something happened to me. Something made me feel like I was on clouds. Was this a chance to tell her how I've been feeling? How much she meant to me? We spent the night with my sister and her family of 4. It was my sister, her husband, and both of her boys. Later in the night, C and I decided to go to bed.

We went into my room, laid on this mattress with no base, sitting on the floor in a room with no carpet, just wooden planks. We laid there under the blankets, staring into each other's eyes. C started to blush and become shy, I reached out my hand and started to stroke, or should I say caress the side of her face. I began to feel a moment of simplicity and a moment filled with Love. There was no sound, there was complete silence while we laid there, Still in the same clothes from the day we just had. I didn't care at all. I moved in closer to C, wrapped my arms around her and we fell asleep.

We woke up the next day and headed to the kitchen. I wanted to hug her again. She was at the kitchen bench and I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her side and pulled her close and hugged her. I then told her that I wanted to ask her something. She looked at me interestingly, I was like "Would like to be my Girl Friend?". With no hesitation, she replied "Oh my God, yes! I was waiting for you to ask!"

More to come.
