Day 1: I had to work early in the morning until 1:30 pm. I rushed home, touched up my make-up and was off to the airport to meet him. I checked in, got through security and found a bathroom to make sure I look okay. At this point I can't even believe this is really happening. I keep looking around thinking I must be dreaming. I get to our gate and look around at all the people sitting there. I don't see him. I dig out my phone and send him a text "Are you here?"... ... ... "Yes, I am indeed" I look up again, somehow expecting him to materialize out of one of the seats. I realize I was genuinely concerned that he had missed his flight in France. My phone buzzes again and he says "I'm going through security" so I'll tell him "I'm at the bottom of the stairs that lead to our gate" and find a good spot to stand out of the way but in sight of the stairs. Finally (after several long minutes of sweating palms and a racing heart) I see a face I recognize on a tall man walking down the stairs. He smiles at me. It's definitely him. Unsure if I should walk to him or let him walk to me, I sway out of balance before deciding to meet him halfway. I step in front of him and don't know what to say. He says he smells "like a buffalo" from all the travelling. I ask if he really thinks I care before throwing my arms around him. We hang around the airport for about an hour before our flight, just talking and sharing a cinnabon. Always holding each others hand. Our flight takes off and I lean against his shoulder and after talking for a few more minutes, I fall asleep.
About 30 minutes later I wake up a little confused. Then I remember. I look up and he asks how I slept. I say very well and he leans down to kiss me for the very first time. It was soft and sweet and totally unexpected. I look at him and smile before kissing him again and snuggling back into his chest. We land and, after a small struggle with our baggage, we get a shuttle to the hotel. After very little awkwardness for our first meeting, nerves start to build as we get closer to the hotel. We get there, check in and get some food at the hotel. We sit in our room, choosing the chairs over the bed to soothe our nerves, and eat dinner while making small talk. He gets in the shower and I change into a nighty I purchased for this night and get into bed.
I hear the shower turn off and wait impatiently for him to come to bed. He comes out in his boxers with still dripping hair and turns off the hallway light and locks the room door. He slides into bed and we switch off the lamps and cuddle up close. We're both exahusted, but it only takes a few minutes of being so close together before we're both wide awake. Needless to say, my sexy pj's didn't get much use and Adult content followed. Our nerves melted away and we had an amazing first night together.
More to come later. I thought I'd just do a quick kind of list of things we did, but then I got into details and now I can't help myself. You will all have to suffer the long version... or just choose not to read, either way.
