Long-distance love game

Chapter 7 gifts

Distance is so difficult, I couldn't keep her happy with just words, I had to show something more, I had to make her feel that even though she is thousands of kilometers away, she has a man who loves her and only wants good things for her.

It was then, with her birthday in December approaching, that I decided to give her something nice, something unexpected, something that would surprise her and make her say, "how cute my guy is."
But not everything is that easy, buying from a place we don't even know doesn't inspire much confidence, I had to verify that they accepted my payment methods, and that they would actually deliver the gift, I had to find out her details without making her suspicious, so it would be a surprise. So, at every moment, I took the opportunity to gather information little by little, like what she liked more, or what things were bad for her, but I already knew some of them beforehand, like that she was allergic to several metals, she could only wear silver or gold, not just any chain, earring, or bracelet. Also, if I gave her a stuffed animal, it had to be hypoallergenic, because she really suffered from many allergies, she was even allergic to cinnamon, I was afraid to give her something with cinnamon without realizing it one day. I was dying to think of a gift that could make her feel like the most special woman in the world.



Leo- morr, I would like to know where you live.



Ana- mm why, are you going to give me something? :3



Leo - I don't think so... it's just to know :x



Ana- ajaja Don't give me anything, you don't have to give me a gift.



Even though she says that, I know she wanted it, from the bottom of her heart, receiving a gift is very nice, or so she thought. And maybe they'll wonder why I said I didn't think I'd give her anything, I just wanted her to think that so she would be surprised later, but it was already obvious that I would give her something.
It took me days to find something that she would really like, I wanted the first gift to be special, very beautiful, but I couldn't find that anywhere, until one day I did, it was actually two things, but that store had no way to accept an international payment. Misfortune always follows me, but luckily I had friends.

Friend1- Hi Leo, what did you want?



Leo- bro, I need you to buy something for me in Colombia, and I'll transfer it to your crypto account.



Friend1- mmm okay but only because you helped me before too haha



Leo- thanks bro, I'll let you know the amounts and where to pay haha



Really, a friend is priceless. If you have friends who save your bacon when it's burning, you have to value them, and this friend was very important for being able to buy that little gift I so wanted to give, it might seem like a simple thing to do, but from a distance, not everyone trusts enough to spend money on others, or maybe he felt indebted to me for teaching him how to use a crypto platform.
On her birthday, early in the morning she wrote to me, she seemed very happy, she said I shouldn't have given her anything but that receiving something from me with so many details delighted her.



Ana- thank you my love, I love you <3 you are so detail-oriented



Ana sends a photo of herself hugging an anti-allergy teddy bear, and some chocolates in a heart-shaped box.



Leo- You look beautiful <3 I just wanted to see you happy with your little gifts :3



The truth is, in that photo, I didn't look at the little gifts, I could only see her face full of happiness and love. I felt that I really got those details right, it was worth searching for them for so many days, and I truly felt that she appreciated them. Maybe it wasn't the most expensive stuffed animal, but it was one she could hug. Maybe they weren't the richest chocolates in the world, but for her, they were because I gave them to her, and they were heart-shaped. She loved that, that everything had a heart shape <3

Ana- I will sleep hugging my teddy bear every night <3



Leo- how lovely, she will be like our child <3



Ana- It's true, my love, I love you <3



Leo - he will take care of you for me every night until we can be together, I love you muah <3



Ana- I love you so much, you make me so happy, muah <3



In those moments, the distance felt smaller; I felt that giving her something would make her feel more valuable to me, that even though she was far away, I could give her little things that would bring a smile to her face, that beautiful and natural smile, and the best part was that it shone so brightly just for me.
Time seemed to stand still, almost without us noticing, Christmas and New Year passed by. On both occasions, after celebrating with my family, and she obviously with hers, although they weren't that close, which really surprised me. I thought that all families, whether good or bad, do a lot of things together during those dates, but she suffered a lot during those times, she felt lonely. In fact, it seemed like I was her only happiness during those moments, as if she enjoyed seeing me happy celebrating with my family. I tried to send her little photos and talk to her often so she wouldn't go to sleep sad.
