Boy Meets Girl, Girl Loves Boy

32- Europe

"Harley! Come here, Baby Boy! That's my boy! Are you ready to go? You wanna go? C'mon!"
"You two are ready?"
"Yup. I can't believe we are going to live in another apartment in Germany for a year abroad. We are going to arrive on our three year anniversary! I can't believe this. I have you and Harley and I feel truely happy. Just happy. Nothing else... except maybe excited! We are going to Germany! The question is are you ready to go?"
"Yes, My Love. I very much am ready to go. We are going to drive back to your house and drop off some things we won't need then we are going to go to Sam's house to get on his plane. Correct?"
"Yep. I so excited! I've always wanted to go to germany! I think I want to visit every country in the world at least once. That's on my bucket list."
"We can go to a few while we live over there. Maybe we can meet up with your old friend. What was his name? Short, really gay, german?"
"Oh! Drew! Yes we can see if he wants to see us. He's probably busy with a corporate job and stuff. He was awesome with people, even with the social anxiety, I'm sure it helped him when he moved back to Germany. I don't know. I'll have to make sure I can even find him again. I thought you didnt like Drew cause we hung out so much and it took time away from me and you hangin out?"
"Well yeah but he's very gay and you're all mine now so all that is in the past."
"Awe. That's cute. I think he got married. I'm not sure. I still talk to Jeremy on occasion so I can ask him what's going on there."
"Okay. I just figured it'd be nice for you to see him after so long. Just for yall to catch up."

"I got ahold of drew this morning. He is still in Germany. He got married to another German guy. They now live a few miles off the coast near the Netherlands. He has one daughter Named Sandra. They adopted her from Belgium when they went on a mission trip. Drew's husband is very religious. They said they would meet us at a cafe the day we arrive just to catch up."
"Alright. I can drop you off there then see Laura's uncle off. I just wanna say thanks and wish him a nice trip. Is that alright?"
"Yeah that's fine but it was my understanding he would leave as soon as we left the airfield. I guess I was wrong."

"Hey Drew! I missed you!"
"Awe! I didn't miss you," He said laughing.
"I know. You never really like me anyway you just got stuck with me. I've kept up with Jeremy since you left. He used to give me random updates on how you were and what was going on will yall."
"Yeah I sorta dropped off the map for a while. Then we went off to Belgium. We got that little beauty with no intention of it. After travelling for a couple years with her we decided to come back and settle down. It's all very romantic and picturesque, don't ya think?"
"Very much so. Me and Alex are dating. We've been together for three years and we are both doing a year abroad for the same minor in college. I have my own baby. His name is Harley and he is a harlequin great Dane. He's come with us but I couldn't bring him in here so he stayed with Alex. You know for a long time I wasn't happy with anything in life and finally I feel so damn good and I can't believe any of it."
"Yeah. Before Abel I didn't know I couldn't sleep at night. I didn't realize how crap casual sex and dating was. Then I met Abel and everything was different. Now I wouldn't trade them for the world."
"I'm so glad you found someone. For a while I thought your standards and lifestyle wouldn't allow you to find your forever. It was so noticeable when you looked at him though that he was the one."
"Awe. Is alex the one? I haven't see yall together yet so I can't tell. I'm also not as good as you. You have predicted how many relationships and their timeline?"
"Way too many to count! You know I dont know if he's it. I hope he is. He makes me so happy. I can see a future I can see front porch swings and children and gray hair but I can't say that I know for sure this is it."
"What about... um... what was his name?"
"Who?"
"The guy before Alex. You went to london?"
"Ryan?"
"Yes!"
"We were together for over two years. Then some things happened and we split up. It just wasn't meant to be. I'm alright. I haven't spoken to him since but we have seen each other. Gabby had his brothers baby and I'm still friends with his sister. He'll be around alot but it doesn't bother me seeing him for just a few minutes. Its been a long time though."
"Hey. I'm back. Harley is in the car and I have a suprise for you. I wasn't actually saying bye to Sam."
"What?"
"I'll let you two go. It was great seeing you again. I hope you love it here. We are awesome. Have fun."
"Thanks, Drew." Alex said shaking his hand.
"Oh, a gentleman? I like this one."
"I do too! Bye. I'll be keeping in touch!"
