It is now March sixteenth, two-thousand and seven and it's finally the time for which I've been waiting a whole month. It's spring break and I'm headed to Seattle to see my bambina. I've been on the plane for twelve hours and I can't stop thinking about the fact that it's been two months since I have seen Maya in person.
Thirty minutes later, it's eleven at night and we're landing. I'm in first class, so we're first to get off the plane. Within five minutes, I'm walking into the lobby and immediately see her. I start crying and as soon as I get to her, I hug her and hold on for dear life. After a couple minutes, I pull back and kiss her.
I kiss her cheek and forehead and adjust my suitcase so I can take her hand with my right. Before I can grab it though, Maya grabs it and then takes my hand. We walk out to the car and go home. Once at home, we walk inside, lock everything up, turn off the lights and go to bed. She immediately snuggles up to me. I wrap my arms around her and lay us down.
"I miss being this close to you," says Maya. "I miss holding you," I reply. "I miss falling asleep to your heartbeat," replies Maya. "I've actually been thinking about our future together and I've decided to apply for residencies in Seattle either this summer or during next school year. I want us to be with you." "Okay. What if you don't match anywhere in Seattle," she asks. "Well, I'm going to also apply at Paolo Calvino back in Italy and Bellevue Hospital across town." I hope you match to Seattle or Bellevue. I want you both here." I kiss Maya on the back of the head. "Go to sleep," I say. Within seconds, Maya is asleep. I follow her right after.
