A few more miles to go, just a few, and I will finally get to meet him!! Thinking back to all the phone conversations, the instant messages, my mind races at the thought of what the meeting will be like! I have played it over and over in my mind, but will it be the same?
As I look ahead at the road I see the exit sign I need and slowly merge into that lane, ready to veer off into the land where I will meet the one who has expressed his desire to meet so vehemently! Why am I so compelled to meet him? I have longed for this for so long. Over the last few months, we have shared so many thoughts, so many feelings, I felt as though I had known him all my life! In some respects, just from talking to him I felt as though I had met my soul mate! So many things that were coincidental. The finishing of each others sentences, the things we have in common, words that were said to each other that coincided with things we have only dreamed of, feeling each other so strongly that we knew when one was thinking of the other......so many enchanting things that have happened.
Was it possible? Could he be the one that she has heard many speak of? How could one man be everything and nothing to me at the same time? Everything to me because I knew him on many levels, and nothing to me because we had never met face to face. Now, now I am given the chance to meet him and I am so nervous about it!
Driving down the new road, my mind wanders to the thought of the meeting..........
I hear a light rapping on the door and become
enveloped with excitement. I raise from the hotel
chair, smooth down my shirt and swiftly cross the
hotel floor to the door. Just as I reach for the
knob, I catch my breath. A deep inhale and a very
slow exhale! My heart is pounding at the thought
of him being just outside the door. I turn the
knob, open the door and my eyes search for his,
as our gazes lock, I realize that everything that we
have said or done depends on this one moment. A
smile across my face, I say "Hello", all the while
realizing that my palms are damp, my knees are
weak, my stomach full of butterflies, my heart
pounding as though it will explode and my mind is
just racing in thought! As he speaks his hello I am
comforted by the voice I have heard so many
times before. I reach out, grab him by the neck
and embrace him for a hug. Both arms around his
neck and his placed around my waist I give him a
tight squeeze to let him know just how glad I am
to see him, and say, "I am so glad you are here". I
turn my head slightly and give him a peck on the
cheek and release my hold so we can enter the
room. Phil asks where the restroom is and I direct
him toward it. He banters toward the door of the
restroom and I giggle at his actions......always the
playful one he is!! While he is indisposed, I think of
the day ahead and what is to come and decide to
sit on the edge of the bed.
When Phil comes out we determine that the bags
need to be brought in. So, with that being said,
we both head towards the door............
When I come out of thought I see the sign to the hotel and get excited...I pull into the lot and park the car. I head into the hotel to register and get the key to the room. As I am signing in the Clerk tells me the room number...221..hmmmmm funny about that number...2 2 1 when 2 people combine to make 2 hearts, they become one!! Weird how that number makes me think that! I grab the key, head to the car and proceed to drive around to where the room is. I head into the room looking for the phone. When I spot the phone, I dial Phil's number, patiently waiting for him to answer! After the second ring I hear his voice say, "HELLO" and I reply," Hello there sexy, I have arrived and I am waiting for you, so get your slow ass in gear and head this way baby!!!" We both say goodbye and I decide to sit in the chair and wait for him to arrive. I flip the television on for some background noise while I wait and get totally lost in my thoughts..........
