Letters from Noel

You were at the Hacienda with your friends on a normal Friday night when you spotted him across the room. He was standing there in this  white jacket way too big for his small body. He turned around and your eyes met. His fluffy brown hair was covering most of his face, but you could see a glimpse of his sparkling blue eyes. When he looked at you it felt like time stood still. He gave you a wink and made a small wave gesturing you over. Your friends encouraged you to go over and pushed you along. You squeezed through the crowd and finally got beside the young man.

He grabbed your arm with his free hand, the other holding a drink, and took you over to a corner. You were standing there with him, with the music a bit quieter, and he introduced himself. He said his name was Noel and asked for yours. You told him yours and he complimented how beautiful you looked. You said thanks and shied away. You figured you would get to know him some more so you asked if he was at the Hacienda a lot. Noel said that he was only here when on a break from his roadie gig but that he didn't want to talk about himself, he wanted to talk to you. You didn't know why he was so intrigued with you when he had such a cool life.

Noel was mesmerized by you, he wanted to know anything and everything about you. You had never had someone who was actually interested in you this way. Every other man you had met just wanted sex. Noel seemed like he genuinely liked you. It felt like you were talking for hours when you realized the time. It was 3 am and went looking for your friends. You couldn't find them anywhere and were stuck by yourself. Noel found you and you told him about the situation. He offered to walk you back home. As you walked to your flat, it became windy and chilly. Noel saw you didn't have a jacket and were shivering. He took off his jacket and put it around you. As you approached the door, you started to take of the jacket to give back to Noel. He said to keep it and he'll take it back when he next sees you. You smiled as he wanted to see you again. He asked for your number and you wrote it down on a small piece of paper and gave it to him. Noel said he would give you a call and then gave you a small kiss on the cheek.

You and Noel hung out and talked on the phone almost everyday, and you slowly started to fall in love with him. Noel understood you like no one else and when he was around, the world just felt right. One day when you were out with Noel he told you he had some news. You were nervous as you had no idea what he was going to say. He told you that the band he was working for were going on a world tour and that he was going to be gone for six months. You were so happy for him that he was going to travel the world. You gave him a hug and told him that he was going to have a great time. As you pulled back, Noel saw the tears forming in your eyes. He wiped them away before they could fall and said that he was going to miss you so much. Noel said he had a plan so you would still have a little piece of him. He promised to write you a letter every week on what he was doing and how much he wanted to see you. You thought it was a beautiful idea and was happy to see what would come of it.

The time had come and Noel left for the tour. As the days went by you sat at home every day waiting for that letter to come. Finally as you checked the mail one morning, you saw it. The letter with Noels name on it. You quickly ripped it open to read what it said. It was so heartwarming to read his words about his time and about you. When you finished reading you went to go find a special place to put it. You repeated this every week waiting for the letter and every week they came as Noel promised. Reading them filled you with joy, to know Noel still cared for you and knowing what he was up to. You kept the letters in that safe and special spot. Whenever you felt sad or lonely you would take out the letters and read them. Reading his words were so comforting and you couldn't wait until you finally got to see him again.
