MY SWEET LOVE STORY
It happened seven years ago…”wow” seven years later, I can’t believe how time has flown! Seven years ago I was fifteen years old. I just turn back to that time, and I feel surprised for how things have changed.
I was at a party with my friends. After chatting, and dancing a little, I needed something to drink. I was at the bar when Maggie, my friend, said to me “Nadia look at the boy in a white shirt”. I turned my back. I answered to her saying “Cute”. I said to myself, mmm, He is handsome, but, I would not say a word to him, so I decided to move to a different room. Minutes later, while I was busy drinking my soda, another friend of mine touched my shoulder and said to me, Nadia; let me introduce to you, my best friend, “Diego”. Look Diego, This is Nadia. We shook hands, He smiled at me on an angelical way. On the other hand I was embarrassed because I had not expected to talk to him. The good thing was that Diego is a very good talker, and I did not have chance to talk at all. We talked about many different things, such as hobbies, places where we have been, some experiences in our lives, and a little bit of history about each other. We forgot about the party, we forgot about our friends, there were only him and me. It was very late. I had to run back home, but I did not leave without sharing phone numbers.
He called me to set up a date. We went out several times. We had so much fun together. However I had some important things to do about school. I stopped answering his phone calls. I always had excuses, and finally he got tired of me. Sadly I lost him.
I kept living my life, and I came to the United States. I was tired of being single and bored. A friend of mine told me about a web page where to find a mate. I checked the page, signed in, and found him there. Seven years later! So I wrote him an email. I said hi! I was curious to know everything about what he was doing. And he wrote back to me. We rekindled our romance quickly. For a moment, I wasn’t sure when he told me that he was living in Miami. FL and I thought that it was a little bit far from Seattle.
I didn’t give up and after two months of talking for hours and hours on the phone. Coincidently, I had a trip to Miami. I knew that it was going to be a shock for me to see him again.
I gave him the address of the hotel where I was hosted, although he was living in Miami. Still it was two hours away driving, and he didn’t care. He came to see me. At the hotel, dressed with my white shirt, I waited for him in the lobby at the main door. He called me on my cell phone, said he was there, and could see me, so I turned my body and saw him. He ran to me. Hugging him strongly I hid my face on his neck. I was so timid, I couldn’t even say a word, my tongue was paralyzed. I was static, my hands were frozen. Afterwards we had a nice day, perhaps the most beautiful day of my whole trip. Now we live together. He moved from Miami to Seattle, just to be with me. I am so happy for my new life.
Nadia Herrarte.
