Connection

The tenderest love requires to be rekindled by intervals of absence

Perrie and I have been talking for a few weeks now, but it seemed like I've known her forever. The conversation between us flowed easily without any awkwardness or pressure. We had the same sense of humour, the same interests, the same tastes. Why did she have to live so far away?

I couldn't stop thinking about her, even when we weren't talking. Her smile, her laugh, her voice, her cute accent and don't even get me started on when she said things in Portuguese – they were all I could think about. I knew that I had to find a way to see her in person, but unfortunately I knew it would take very long as everything was so expensive and difficult. 

One day, when we were texting, she told me that she had something to tell me. My heart jumped with excitement. What could it be? Was she going to come and see me? I couldn't contain my curiosity, so I video called her.

"Hey baby, what do you wanna tell me?" I said, already excited.

'Hey babe" she paused,  "What are you going to do from 5 to 12 of July?"

"Nothing, just work. Why?"

"Let's just say that I've found a super convenient flight and hotel for those days..." she said with a small grin that ended up with the biggest smile I've ever seen her with.

"Oh my god! I'm freaking out, baby, I'm so happy" I said, also with the widest smile possible.

"So, if I come in those days, would you have time for us?" she asked, knowing I would be unable to get out of work.

"Yes babe, obviously on February I would be completely free because of the Carnaval, but I can make a lot of free time for you. I can change my working hours, so we can have more time" I explained.

"Yeah, I know, but I don't really want to wait until February" she whined, and I honestly felt the same.

"Me neither, babe, I can't wait to finally be with you. I can try starting working at 6 and leave at 13, that way we could have mostly all day".

"Are you sure is not too much to handle?" she asked me worried.

"No babe, of course not. I really want you here. I'll be fine, and your company will make everything better. Thank you for being considerate, tho."

"I have to check with work, but I think I can do it"

"Ok babe, I'm so excited"

"Me too. I can't wait".

I was so excited for her stay here that I made a full on presentation with all the places we could go together, including pictures, prices, working hours, address, everything and sent her.

Soon enough came July and as soon as she told me she landed, I felt my heart racing. I was finally going to meet the girl of my dreams in person. Perrie greeted me with a hug and a smile that lit up the entire airport. We spent the first few moments just staring at each other, as if trying to confirm that we weren't just figments of the other's imagination. But there she was, in the flesh, even more beautiful than I had imagined.

"I can't actually believe I'm here with you" Perrie said with tears in her eyes.

"Me too, baby, I'm so, so happy" I said.

We stared at each other for a little moment before our gazes shifted to each other's lips, I cupped her cheeks and she pulled me closer. Soon enough, our lips were touching, and we were able to do what we've been craving for so long.

We had a lot of plans to explore the city but since she came from such a long flight I wanted her to rest, and she seemed to want the same, so we didn't waste any time. We left the airport and headed straight to the hotel, holding hands and chatting the entire way there. The chemistry that had been building between us for months was very much there, showing that we had nothing to worry about.

The receptionist greeted us with a warm smile and checked us in quickly. As we made our way to the elevator, she grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her. Our bodies were inches apart, and I could feel the heat radiating off her.

"I can't wait to see everything with you" she said.

Her lips were so close to mine, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. I leaned in and kissed her softly, and she responded with a hunger that made my knees weak.

As the night began to fall, we decided to order room service.

"Oh look, they have Italian dishes" she said excited.

"I won't let you order Italian, babe" I said with a chuckle.

"Why?"

"Cause I know you'll judge very hard and as funny it will be to see you outraged, want you to enjoy your first meal here."

"You could be my first meal here" she joked.

"I'll be the desert baby" I joked back, 'Now let's order something."

We enjoyed our meals and talked about her trip here and everything. We were chilling when she grabbed my hand to take to the balcony. "Come on, let's look at the view" she said.

'Why? I already have the best view from the inside" I said, looking at her.

'Awn babe, you're making me blush" she said pulling me to her and hugging me tightly.

"I like to make you blush, now come on" I said, pulling her to the balcony.

"Wow, it's beautiful here' she said, admiring the city "Not as beautiful as my girlfriend tho" she complimented me smiling, now it was my turn to blush.

We spent all night talking about anything and everything while laying in each other's arms and sharing kisses. I couldn't be happier now that she was here. She's everything I hoped for and more, and I couldn't ask for a better girlfriend.  After a couple of hours, I saw her eyes starting to get heavy.

"Are you sleepy, babe?" I asked while caressing her cheeks.

"Just a little bit, but I want to keep talking to you" she said with her cute smile that I loved so much.

"We have time now, go to sleep baby" I told her. We cuddled closer if that's even possible and since she was tired, exhausted from the travel, it didn't take long for her eyes to close and for her to fall to a deep slumber. I looked at her and smiled, admiring her beauty as she slept peacefully beside me. I couldn't resist leaning in and kissing her forehead softly.
