Bags were packed, clothes tucked neatly away in suitcases. It would be the last time I saw the inside of the house, I kept thinking, as I made my way to my Wrangler, chucking bags in the back that would most likely block my view and risk me getting in an accident. It was going to be a long drive, and though he had emailed me a map to print out, I only knew two things about where I'd be driving: far, and south.
Excitement coursed through me as I drove like a drunk driver, anxious to reach my destination and simultaneously nervous beyond all recognition. School credits had been transferred, I'd sent my check in, and I'd even already sent him money to help pay for the rent this month. Still, it had all seemed like there was still a chance to back out if I got too nervous. But as I drove, with everything I owned, towards Arizona, I breathed deeply. No backing out now.
He had more power over me than anyone I'd ever met, and without him even trying. To be honest, I don't let anyone tell me what to do, except him. I listened to every word he told of me because I trusted him and had more faith in him than I'd ever put in anyone else. Thus why I wanted to live with him and for him to have me, completely and entirely.
These were the thoughts I let consume my mind as I drove, and I couldn't help but smile.
After a full day of driving, I was tired to say the least, but I had refused to sleep until I was in his arms. I called him at one point to get the directions to the apartment we would be living in, and he sounded almost as excited as I, his voice fast, stuttering over his words with anxiousness. We both couldn't wait for me to pull up.
