Techically this is more of a story about how I came in contact with, fell in love with, and then met in person with Edina.
A year and a half ago (roughly) my friend Alaina, showed me a site called Greatest Journal. Now, this wasn’t my type of thing, I could care less for any journal site, as they just never interested me. But as I checked on a section labeled GJ pix, I saw Edina posting a comment on someones picture, but I didn’t care about that persons picture, I just rushed to Edina’s and gawked like a deer stareing at headlights.
She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and still is, I was stunned I wanted to talk to her, but that was never my thing usually I just think of talking to people not really doing it. I had to though, something inside me was just snapping inside me, compelling me to speak to her, besides, it’s just the internet, if I screw up who cares right? In any case, I saw her playfully arguing over who was the most beautiful. I never wanted to be mean to the other girl.. so I just commented with “How about you just tie in who is the most beautiful?” Thus, I had taken a step forward out of my cowardly shell.
Fast forwarding a bit, next came instant messanger conversations. I can tell even now reading back on them I was shy as heck, wether she noticed or not, probably did. I kept asking her if I could call, now.. don’t think I am a creep her, I just have a thing about voices. I really need to know how someone sounds. After tons and tons of conversations day in and out, she finally let me call (after much bugging of course). When she picked up the phone, I didn’t hear anyone talk. So I wondered if anyone even picked up, but then when I said “Hello?” she giggled, and it was cutest thing I had ever heard.
Fast forwarding even more. Through the time I had talked to her in the begining, I had asked her things like if she had a crush ect ect ect. She said she didn’t date, but when she mentioned she had a crush, I was so jealous. I kept thinking, “Why can’t someone this amazing have at least a little crush on me?” (Though I am more than sure she knew I had already started to like her.)
Around Christmas I explained my feelings to her. She explained she did not date at all, let alone the distance would not work. This was expected as many girls in my past had turned me down, but she assured me it was not false hope. In February, she left a notice on one of her journal entries that her birthday was coming up. I wanted to get her something. But what was there to get her? I can’t mail just anything, or make something right off the bat.
The morning of her birthday she signed on, I told her I had the perfect gift for her, she asked what it was I just replied “Me! ..Well what I am saying is.. would you go out with me?”. To my suprise she put up an away message that read “Yes, Kevin” when I read it, I was so excited, I felt like my heart was going to jump right out of me.
As the months in which we went out passed, we’d do little things like send a questioniare to eachother to see our opinions on the same subjects, or write a very long list of the reasons we loved eachother. And we would plan of what it would be like to meet.
Well I knew she lived in the same state as my cousins, but how far away from them was a mystery. It turns out she was only an hour and a half away. We knew her father would probably not let us hang out. So she lied to him saying she was meeting a friend of hers, little known to her, her dad spies on her when she goes out of the house, and caught us talking.
I guess he thought I was in my 20’s as he kept telling me she was a minor and screaming at her to get into the car, like I was some rapeist or something. When she’d tell him no he just got more angry. He threatined to call the cops over and over. Which actually infuriated me to the point of wanting to hit him, but, that’s assault and that actually would be a reason to call the cops.
I asked him if I could explain something, he quieted down but still seemed angry, I explained to him how we met, and that I was very in love with her, and that we just thought he would not let us meet. He said we could visit for an hour but to meet back in the same spot so he could take my personal information, which I gave to him agreeingly, I have nothing to hide. He suggested we meet back with him every hour, which each time he came back he seemed less angry, other times we met, he did not ask us to meet him at all. We met a total of 5 times that summer.
This Chirstmas we got to travel away from her house and be together as long as my mom was “Supervising” us, but she really wasn’t we went out 2 times this Christmas, and are now planning to be together April 15th or 16th.
We have been going out for 1 year and 1 month (soon to be 2) and I love her very very much. And I need to stop writing now because my wrists are cramping :P.
