-I can remember every exact detail of the day when I first met her. From the very moment she called me a 'noob', I can still recollect the uncontrollable emotions telling me I felt something for this girl. As our relationship developed, I soon realised I felt for her, in a way stronger than just friends.
-I even remember how much we used to ridicule ourselves for being addicted to a MMORPG, when neither of us were stereotypically nerdy, like the rest of our friends who played. I knew, however, the one reason why I kept playing, and could never quit, was because of
her
.
Months past, and we became closer and closer- until I finally admitted to her I thought I was in love with her. She had always been the mean one, in a kind of flirtatious manner, and at first she had knocked me back, claiming she was straight. However, about a month later- after spending an entire night talking to each other over webcam- she admitted to me she felt the same. Thus, our lesbian relationship began. The thing I loved about her, so, was the protectiveness she beheld towards me, and a shy uncertainty of a timid-teenager lost in her own identity.
For months on end I couldn't sleep, I wouldn't go out- she'd miss school just for me- and we'd spend hours, upon hours,
just
talking. I wanted more than to just talk all of the time, I wanted more than to just repeat the depth of my feelings over and over. I wanted to see her- face to face- and protect her like she protected me in the game.
So, about three months into our relationship, we finally arranged to meet in her home city- Nottingham. I was two years older than her- me twenty and her eighteen- and had drove there myself. She had said she would be waiting in Starbucks' café, reading the book I had bought her (nineteen eighty-four by George Orwell). It wasn't like we needed any sign of recognition between us, though, because we had spent most of our time together watching one and another on webcam. She had the most beautiful eyes I had ever gazed upon, and the round features of her face had awoken an emotion in me I thought I'd never come to understand. I believed I loved this girl- Ele was her name- and she had told me she loved me too.
I walked into the warmth of the coffee shop, the aroma tingling my taste buds and arousing all my senses. I loved the smell of coffee; and loved the taste even more.
I took a quick glance around the café's ground floor, but I could not see Ele anywhere. Moving forward, to catch a glimpse upstairs, I noticed a small, brown-haired beauty stood at the counter- waiting to be served. 5ft2, I believe, Ele had told me her height. She was small, cute, adorable. I was tall, thin- and had been told my her- possessed traits of a model. I guess, in this case, the old saying of 'opposites attract' was true.
"One large skinny latte, please."- I smiled, confident as always, and moved thoughtlessly towards her.
She had moved to the next part of the line, now waiting for her drink to be made- and the perfect time for me to finally talk to her in person! The excitement of the moment took over me, and before I knew it I had blurted out "Hey, Ele." nervously. She turned around, however, equally as edgy, and smiled wildly in response.
