RITA COLLINS

I remember the first time he had come to visit me in Carlifonia like it was yesterday.

I had just gotten back from a tiring class and my roommate, Carla, hadn't been home that afternoon. But I hadn't been bothered about her. She was probably out with her boyfriend, Darren, as usual.

Cameron hadn't replied any of my texts or calls all day and I was getting really worried. He always replied my texts immediately and texted when he couldn't answer my calls.

And then, he had showed up at my door that bright afternoon looking handsome as ever dressed in a white, fitted Ralph Lauren polo and black jeans with his full beards that I loved so much trimmed, and flowers in hand. For a moment I had stood there stunned. Confused.

And then joy filled me as I jumped on him. That day we shared our first kiss. I felt the best sensations on my lips even after the kiss and all day I had butterflies fluttering in my tummy.

He had given me the flowers and a box of chocolates. I was so happy to finally be seeing his face again in real life and not over a computer screen.

That evening, he had taken me to the poshest restaurant in town for dinner and afterwards we had gone for a walk.

It was all so romantic.

Then he told me that he would be leaving the next afternoon for Paris and offered to take me to breakfast in the morning. I was so determined to make the best of the little time that we had that I had insisted that he stay at my apartment instead of the hotel he had booked.

That night we ate popcorn, watched comedy movies and laughed all night.

Then, it was time to go to bed.

A simple goodnight had turned into an unexpected, full-blown make out session against the door to my room. We only stopped occasionally to catch our breaths before diving right in once more. It was like our lips were an elixir that we could not get enough of. His kisses drugged me. The feel of his hands against my bare skin floored me.

We had reluctantly pulled away from each other after what felt like hours. That night I couldn't sleep. My mind replayed every scene from that day as if on repeat.

I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.
I had woken up the next morning to the smell of coffee and blueberry pancakes. He had brought me breakfast in bed.

Imagine my shock when I turned and saw the sight before me. Although, I wasn't so sure which was more amazing. The sight of him, or that of the food. Either way, I was so happy I had exclaimed,

"Oh my God I love you".

And then there was the pause. I had realised what I had said and sent a quick prayer to the Lord almighty that he didn't reply to it and that this didn't turn awkward. I quickly turned my focus to the food and started eating.

But Cameron being Cameron just had to reply. And he said the four words that made me more of a goner than I already was:

"I love you too."

...

After breakfast, we took a walk as I didn't have any classes that morning luckily for me.

We were walking down the beach hand in hand when he had asked me to be his girlfriend officially. He seemed nervous which just made it even more romantic and cute. I immediately said yes. That morning felt like I was on cloud nine.

But then reality set in.

We headed back to the apartment where we got his bags and I drove him to the airport. He had kissed me and told me that we would see soon.

I had thought that saying goodbye to him that day was the hardest thing I would ever do.

Now, I realise that it wasn't.
