Has anyone ever wondered where Heather and I began?
If so....
It was a cold winter morning, and as pathetic as it may sound...I was extremely lonely. I felt at a lost with myself, and I really had no one to lean on. I felt the people that knew me, in actuality never really knew me at all, so being on the computer gave me comfort. Being able to talk to people, that I could relate to was what gave me happiness.
This morning, though, just wasn't any other morning. I didn't know it, until she messaged me. We exchanged a few "hello's" and a simple introduction. I glanced at her profile to find a picture with a beautiful face. She had shoulder length blonde hair, deep blue eyes, and just a beautiful soft appeal to her. To be honest, I wasn't all that much into blondes at the time, but we talked on a higher level, then I thought existed. We decided to voice chat, and as uncomfortable as I was, she deeply enjoyed hearing my voice. I like to think that I have a sweet one. From that first conversation, I really liked her, and I loved talking to her. We only really got to speak with each other for an hour because I had to run to school for my math final, so we added one another, and promised we'd speak to each other later.
Days went by, and we began talking everyday. I just couldn't get enough of her. I felt at a loss though because she had somebody already. Regardless, we still exchanged, "I love you's". And, I did love her, I was enamored by her, and I longed to be with her. Maybe, I did influence her some to move on to me, but I had reassured her, that I would always love her. She was living in Wisconsin at the time, and I regret not going to see her, but all things happen for a reason. She went back to Florida in December, and from then on, I bought a cell phone, so now, instead of the internet, we talked on the phone, day in and day out. We even heard each other sleep. We officially started our relationship on January 4th, 2004, and from then on it only grew harder not physically being together.
I grew tired of the waiting. I longed for her, I ached for her. I needed her. So...I bought her bus ticket to come up and see me. It was originally planned to be for a only a week, seeing how I still lived with my parents. April 4th, our three month anniversary, she was on that greyhound for over twenty hours to finally meet me in person. She would arrive the next morning, at the bus station in hammond, where I would be of course meeting her.
The night before she arrives...I cleaned, as MUCH AS I COULD. Also, I bought some thongs, and bras...I wanted to look good for her. I was nervous as hell, and when the morning came, it was even worse. I got dressed, did my make-up, and dropped off my mom and brothers. Then went straight to the station. I had told her previously, that I would be there, reading harry potter. She requested that I where my glasses. I even remember what I was wearing, an olive green quarter-length shirt, and jeans. I sat there patiently waiting for the bus to arrive. Hell I wasn't even reading, I was too nervous to do anything.
I heard the bus pull up, and the door open, but I didn't look back. Then, I felt warm arms around me. IT WAS HER!!! My baby, my love, my soul. I was so nervous, I still couldn't look at her..When I finally did..she was so fucking beautiful...I couldn't get over it. I didn't say much, but my mind was racing with all these thoughts and compliments...wishing then, I could have said half of them. The first thing I noticed was her eyes, and her smile. Before we met, I don't think I really ever saw her smile, and it was such a nice surprise. She held my hand, and butterflies just flew throughout my stomach. We sat in there for probably what felt like forever, and then, she kissed me, of course I kissed her back. And, it was amazing. It was just so surreal, her being right in front of me, that I couldn't get over it.
When we left the station, I helped her carry her bag, and we walked out to the lumina. We ended up kissing some more, and it was a lot deeper and longer. One perfect word to describe that situation...beautiful. Then, I took her to our house, and we got settled. We ended up cuddling on the couch, and then getting a little action. We even showered together, and then we went up to my bedroom, where a number of things occured...a number of unforgettable things. I fell more in love with her, by the second. She just did everything right. I had given her a bouqet of flowers, and a carebear. Yes, corny me. They were star roses, and wild violets.
We had the most amazing week together. I took her out to eat at the Olive Garden, we toured Meijers, hand in hand. Our souls united...We were having the best time, and I didn't want to end. And, when that Monday came for her to go, I didn't want her to leave me. I'd miss her way too much, and she didn't want to leave either. So we took our chances, and ended up being caught in the end. I don't regret it, if it wouldn't have happened, we might not have been still together. I got kicked out of my house, and we left. It was so cold, and we're walking with like six bags. She ends up calling Jenn (her ex) to come and get us, and we walk to my best friend's house for warmth until then.
We ended up staying in a hotel for a month. The irony was the bus station that we met at was right next door to it. It was a hard month, but we surpassed it just like we've surpassed everyone's expectations about us. We are strong, and I will not ever let that go. I was and am extremely in love with her. I don't want anyone else in my life. That's why our story is so important because so many people assumed that our relationship would not last from the get go, but we've made it. We've been together for almost two years, and everything that has happened between us, feels like just yesterday. And, I don't see my life ever without her. I'm truly in love with her...from the first time we spoke, to the last time I checked on her still sleeping. I'm in love with Heather Na'Koal, and there is nothing in this world that could ever change it.
