It was normal in our days to be tender, attentive, talking as much as possible, but we also shared an unrestrained passion, our limits for +18 things gradually disappearing. It was already normal for her to send me suggestive photos, and I did too. We talked about fantasies we wanted to fulfill together, like wearing costumes or doing it in some unusual place; she was bolder than me in that sense. For the time being, we settled for occasional calls, with or without video depending on the occasion, always showing something more, making us feel unique. She made me feel like the most desired man in the world, and I made her feel like the sexiest and most desired woman in the universe.
It was almost time, we had reached June, and we finally celebrated our 1 year together. Once again, I felt the need to make her feel the most loved in the world, so I gave her some chocolates in a heart-shaped box. I knew she loved heart shapes because she never got tired of saying it.
Ana- it has the shape of a heart, my love <3 how lovely, I love it
Leo- How nice that you like my princess <3
Ana- "send me a photo of her with the chocolates"
It's not possible to love someone that much, but seeing her so happy with her gift somehow always makes me fall more and more in love, the feeling that she is only happy with me made me happier too. But to my surprise, that wasn't all; almost out of nowhere, they knocked on my door. She had asked me for my address a while ago and had annoyed me with something, but it can't be her, can it? I don't think she really took the trouble to buy a gift and send it to my house, did she?
*Months before
Ana- sweetheart, can you give me your address?
Leo- Why, my love? Are you coming now?
Ana- Sure, I'm arriving today on a flight, later I'll be at your place.
Leo - You're joking, right? Haha
Ana- no, it's serious :x
Leo- haha, how cute. I don't believe you, but don't ever think about doing something crazy like that; it scares me that you might get lost.
Ana- It's okay, love, calm down :3
It was at that moment when I took out my information for this, when I went out to attend to the person who was outside my house, I didn't know what it was until they said to me, "are you Leonardo?"
Leo- Sure, it's me, what's up?
Messenger - This is for you, from Ana, enjoy it, congratulations!
Leo- Thank you, have a good day.Almost as if unexpectedly, almost without realizing it, they had sent me an anniversary gift, it was a medium-sized pink box. As I told her later, at that moment I felt like a princess receiving her first gift. I couldn't explain what it felt like, I'll just say it felt nice, I felt loved, especially because the first one to give me such a sweet gift was her, the woman who was stealing everything from me every day. When I opened it, I found many chocolates and a letter from her, it was as if she had written it with her own hands, I know it wasn't possible but that's how it felt. I like chocolates, but I'm not really a fan of everything sweet, yet those chocolates were undoubtedly the best I've ever tasted in my life. I was almost in tears from the emotion, I couldn't control what I felt, I was overflowing with love. She made me feel like the most special man in the world with that gift, I was even embarrassed for someone in my family to see me, because I would turn red with shame and excitement, they also knew that no one had ever sent me something like that at home. She was the first woman who took the time to send me something really sweet and lovely.
Leo- I love you with all my heart <3
-Thank you for the gift, my love, you are so special, you make me feel the most loved <3
Ana- You're welcome, my dear, sorry if you didn't really like my gift.
Leo- nooo, I really loved it, no one has ever given me something like this <3
Ana- :3 I love you
I wasn't really lying to her, that moment I will never be able to erase, she was the first one to give me such a beautiful gift, and nothing could surpass it, it was the best gift because she chose it for me. My special person gave me something beautiful that I will always carry in my heart, deep within my being. In fact, remembering the moment, I feel that emotion again, that love that made my whole being beat so strongly.
Everything we did was thinking about the trip, she bought herself new suitcases since she didn't have any for a plane trip, she showed them to me all excited even though she had doubts about whether they were too big and wouldn't make it through airport security. When we had doubts about that, regarding weights, sizes, requirements, we always spent hours searching for information to avoid any problems when traveling. To tell the truth, after seeing them in photos, they didn't seem that big to me. Maybe she felt that way because she's not very tall. It's not that I complain about her height; I'm quite small too. Maybe we were just the right fit for each other.
Nothing could go wrong, or else we would have serious problems, since with the layover in another city, the lack of phone coverage could leave us without communication, and my biggest fear was that something would happen to her. That's why I had to keep an eye on her all the time and clear up any possible doubts at all times. I even managed to get the airport Wi-Fi passwords in advance so she would know and wouldn't have to figure it out there. I also started looking at maps or things like that of the airports, to help her navigate better in each place. Maybe it wasn't much, but I tried to be very attentive to her and what she would have to do to come see me.
Knowing that there was so little time left but at the same time so much, we wanted time to pass more quickly, but when the moment came to be together, we wanted it to stop forever. The desire to hug, feel, and touch each other grew day by day; it was like telling our hearts that they had to wait just a little longer, but our hearts didn't want to understand it. All the time I felt how she made my heart race, with every laugh, with every smile, with every sweet word she made me feel an intense desperation, I needed to see her, feel her, have her all to myself, to give her all my love.When July arrived, she talked to her parents. Obviously, they were very upset with her; their relationship was already not very good, but she didn't care what they said. She had already made up her mind and everything was organized for her to see me. At first, they resisted the idea a lot, trying to dissuade her with news of long-distance romances that went very wrong, in fact, with crimes and deceptions from afar, very macabre things if I think about it. I put myself in their shoes and understood them, but if they knew how our relationship was or got to know me, those doubts would surely be cleared up. As the days went by, they gradually accepted it and, of course, gave her their support. They would take her to the airport and see her off until the time of her trip. At least, even though they didn't agree with her decision, it was clear that they cared for her. And that is the most important thing in their family, it's not that they didn't want you to meet the person you love, they just wanted nothing to happen to you and for you to be well, and it is very understandable and commendable that your family thinks that way.
I didn't know them very well, but in a way, I felt that our parents were quite similar, with the difference that my relationship was closer to my mom's, and hers was closer to her dad's. Maybe that's why we felt very identified, feeling that we had similar parents, perhaps we were raised in a similar way, with effort and things like that, or maybe I'm overthinking it again and what I'm saying doesn't make sense.
Getting back to the point, the important thing was that they accepted it and would let her come into my arms. Maybe if they had been stricter, they would have gone to extremes to prevent her from coming, even though I'm not religious. I thank God for giving him his support, even if it was at the end. My Ana would be in my arms very soon.
