Dear Mariah

Going Down Under

-Luke's Pov-
Today is the day. I am finally getting to meet my dearest Mariah. Everyone is telling me I need to calm down but I refuse to no one will stand in my way. She already knows what I look like because I sent a photo of myself a few years ago and honestly the only thing that has changed is I'm taller. I hope she doesn't mind that I'm tall. I just really hope she likes me .
We are in the car on our way to the airport to pick her up. My heart is pounding out of my chest and I can't stop sweeting. What if she doesn't like me? What if she runs away? I feel a hand on my shoulder and look back at my best friend Ashton. We grew up together because his mom works at my house so he was there everyday. He came along to meet Mariah's friend. "It will be alright mate. I promise you she won't run away. You are a pretty decent lad."he said with a reassuring smile. "Thanks man" I laugh and look back at him. "Hope your not falling for me" I say with a wink. "As if, you're not even my type" Ash says hitting my shoulder and laughing. Ashton told me he was gay a few years ago and I found out that Mariah's best friend was a guy. I told Ashton about him and he immediately wrote a letter. I hope Ash finds the one.
We pull into the airport and park in the structure. Only a few more minutes until I can see her. I was told she has red hair, dyed of course which I don't mind, and the most greenest eyes in the world. As soon as we hit the door and bolt inside and start looking around at the people walking out of the Los Angeles gate. So many people and none of them are even glancing at me. Maybe I got the time wrong. What if there was an accident? My breathing becomes heavier and I start to feel dizzy. I quickly turn around when I hear someone cal my name. "Luke?" I hear. The voice is really deep but maybe she has a cold. I turn around and my eyes land a boy around the same age with red hair and green eyes. I look at astonished. He fits Mariah's description exactly. Maybe this was some kind of cruel joke she was playing. I love a girl with humor. "Uh...do I know you" I ask looking at the shorter lad. He looked surprised that I didn't know him and took a deep breathe. "It's me....Mariah or well my real name is Michael but my whole family called me Mariah for some reason" he said shaking his head. I see Ash out of the corner of my eye and see him talking to Mariah's friend Calum. I quickly look back at the boy who claims to be my beloved Mariah with my mouth wide open in able to speak. "You're a boy" I finally say. "Uh yea...I thought you knew that already...well oh well I still love you. I stand silent again. My whole world has just been flipped upside down. My dearest love Mariah is a guy?! I stand just staring at him then he comes closer. I'm too shocked to move and then he does something unexpected. He kisses me and the weird part is....I didn't pull away.
