One week. That's all it took that made me unable to forget you.
I was a close friend of Adam while you were one of Louise's cousins.
We first met at the bar where the supposedly wild and fun bachelorette and bachelor's party for the bride and groom was turned into a simple getting to know each other and drinking session without the oldies around.
You were obviously not the type to go around and have random conversations with strangers. And you looked so out of place with your other cousins who were loudly chattering and are almost like the life of the party. I know because our table was beside yours, and every time I look up, you'd always come into my view.
Louise introduced us, Adam's high school friends, to your group. And I don't know if I meant for it to happen but before the night ended, we were sitting beside each other.
We talked. And I enjoyed your company. I hope it was the same for you. But assuming from the way your eyes looked livelier when we were talking, I'm pretty confident that you had a great time too.
The next day, the rehearsal for the wedding finally started. Louise and Adam gave the bridesmaids and groomsmen the freedom to choose who we'd like to pair with. I was nervous, but I really wanted you to be my partner so I gathered all my courage to ask you. I remember that you looked grumpy that morning, probably because you weren't a morning person, and yet you still looked hot with your specs. The view when I was walking towards you was to die for. You looked surprised but you agreed. I was so pleased with myself that moment. My confidence was finally useful.
When the fourth day of practice came, we were taken to the other island by the soon to be married couple. Louise and Adam had very fun and exciting ideas. They made us play games. We were grouped by pairs, and you didn't like it but I insisted that we had to win because the price was a trip to Japan. We didn't win. You saw me pouting all the way back to the island then you jokingly told me you'll just buy me tickets instead.
And for the few remaining days of practice, we became closer. Much closer that we would often be together even if we weren't practicing for the wedding program. We talked and learned a lot of things about each other and I don't know if that was a good or bad thing.
I never asked for anything in a man because I've long realized that having expectations would only leave disappointments. But even without those expectations, I've come to a conclusion that you are everything I've ever wanted and needed in a man.
You are the calm and quiet to my loudness. The intensity to my breeziness. The rational to my impulsiveness and the patience to my exhilaration. You ground me, Eric.
The ticket came in today. It even seemed like you sent me this on purpose because after finally a month of trying to stop thinking about you, you sent me this ticket to Japan. But to be honest, I still think about you and I don't think I'll ever stop caring about you. I kinda wish I didn't asked you that question, because maybe if I didn't, we'd still be close now like how we were back in the island. Okay no, cause honestly, I don't regret asking you that. And maybe if I'll see you again, I'd ask you again. Because while you are uncooperative and awkward, I am stubborn and head strong.
And in this letter I am also going to ask you again, Eric..
Love, would you like to try that with me?
I will wait for your answer. Preferably a different one from your first answer. And no, this isn't a threat, just a suggestion.
I'll be waiting. Don't be a stranger.
P.S. The kisses we shared behind the wedding reception was something we never brought up before leaving the island. I'd like for us to talk about that once we meet. And hopefully, do it again.
From your charming partner,
Amandine Kelsie
