It Can All Change in a Day.....

It can all change in a day...

Yesterday morning, I woke up ready to do what I usually do with my Saturdays: Kick it all day with my flatmate, who happens to be my best friend. We usually just putz around Auckland, get coffee, do some shopping, and enjoy each other's company after a long week of work. It's very nice. We call it our "Day of Random."

But not yesterday! Her partner (my other flatmate) wanted to take her out of the CBD. He just bought a new car and wanted to test it out on a long drive. I was cool with this because I was recovering from a cold and was quite keen to have some "me" time.

We went out for coffee, then parted ways...I came back up to my flat and was checking my email, when lo and behold...I have a message in my myspace inbox from this dude. So he and I start emailing back and forth, and he suggests going for coffee. Since I have jack crap to do, I agree.......
OH MY GOD!!!! I am completely blown away! About an hour after we finish our coffees, we're still in the throws of great conversation. This is amazing! He asks if I want to go to dinner, we take a long walk down K'rd, through Ponsonby, talking laughing talking, he takes me to a very nice little Italian restaurant, talking laughing talking...He has to go to a show on K'rd so we are about to part ways, but no, it doesn't end there...Kissing laughing planning talking...Butterflies in my stomach so strong that I think I'm going to float away, trying to convince myself that I'm not dreaming...Did he really just say he wants to take me away up north tomorrow? Is this happening? Am I drunk? Am I high? Where did this come from? I was supposed to have a normal Saturday! This is insanity!!!
And the texts! All night, these beautiful messages from him. Just when the butterflies would settle down, my phone would go off again. I absolutely can't believe this is happening!

How can this happen when I'm supposed to leave NZ in 2 months? How is this fair?

I couldn't sleep last night. My body wouldn't settle. And I woke up at 6am.

Straight awake.

And I'm staring at the clock, waiting for 10am to come so I can see him again...
