We've been back for two months and my internship started last week. I love the atmosphere around here. Everyone is professional yet very casual.
Today I'm meeting one of the most powerful people in this company. Kai.
He's the head manager. He manages everything. Restaurants, Bars, clubs, spas, hotels, literally everything. Emilio told me that if I work with him I would mostly work with Kai. So, let's see how this goes.

"You must be Mrs. Bello.", Kai shakes my hand.
"Yes and you're Kai."
"Shall we get started?"
"Of course.", I answer and he leads the way.
For the first day he just explained what his job is. He manages everything and if anyone needs anything or have a problem they will go to Kai. That's what his job is all about. He often goes out and checks the restaurants and all the other places out.

"How was your first day with Kai?", Emilio takes his food out of the microwave.
"Good. Nothing special.", I say even though that's a lie.
"What's going on, honey?", he asks softly.
"I just... I just feel like a burden. He has a lot of responsibility and needs to do his work correctly, I get that. But...I want to do something. I want to feel needed and he just lets me sit in meetings with him."
Kai is great, he really is. He does his work well und carefully. I can see how much he loves his job. But is he afraid that I mess his work up? Because if I'm not doing anything, then this internship would be useless.
"Yea I get that. Do you...want to work with me from now on?"
"Is that okay?"
"I'm the boss. I can do anything I want.", he reaches for my hand.
"By the way, I have thought about something and I want you to answer honestly.", why is he making it so mysteriously.
"Go on.", I lean onto the table.
"Do you want to get married? Like a real wedding. With a real reception.", he starts fiddling around.
I don't answer. I wouldn't even know what to say.
After what felt like a million years I brought myself to answer: "I thought you'd never ask."
"Let's do it right after you graduate.", he kisses the back of my hand.
This. This is what I want.
What I dreamt of.
What I have.
Every single second I spend with this man, I sink deeper into his eyes.
I fall deeper in love.
And I'm absolutely crazy about him.
He makes me feel at ease.
He makes me feel safe.
He makes me feel at home.
I think when you feel butterflies in your stomach, it's a bad sign. You shouldn't be nervous around your partner. You shouldn't be walking on eggshells or be scared.
Being safe and having someone you can rely on, that is the best type of love you could ever experience.
