Do you
remember the little story I told you guys about an engagement party
from my classmate? I thought that you maybe want to know how this ended? How it is with
that guy? If I still speak to him and did have more nights like
those? Let me tell you first that everything's alright, with me, with
him and with us. It's almost a year ago now, the engagement party and
at this time The guy and me are today happily ten months together.
I will
tell you our story. As you may know if you read the post, or not
know, it all started at my classmate's engagement party. I was at my
room in Nijmegen where I study and I was, of course, a little late
because I underestimated the time I had for getting dressed and
getting my hair done. So I had to hurry to get it all done on time. I
also had to hurry to be on time at the train station. Of course I was
a little unlucky and my train didn't ride, so I had to take a bus to
Arnhem, where the party was. I had a little luck on my side, cause I
did catch the bus on time. While sitting in the bus I was talking
over the phone with The guy about how ridiculous we felt in our
outfit in the public transportation. The guy who was sitting next to
me just smiled a little scary to me and tried to look at my screen,
he couldn't read what I was saying. At a given moment I started
talking about dates and said I didn't have a date for that night. I
didn't mean anything at all with that statement, I just hoped that he
said that he didn't have a date either so that I wasn't the only one.
Turned out that nobody had a date. He said to me that he already
wanted to ask me to be his date for the evening but he'd rather ask
me in person. I was flatterd and shocked. I mean, why me? I started
blushing and I think the guy next to me definitely noticed that. I
said to The guy that I almost arrived at the station where I woud
meet him and a few other classmates to go to the party. So I ended
the conversation and said that I would wait at the taxi place.
So I
kinda got lost, cause I had never been in Arnhem. When I found the
station I went sitting at the taxi's but there were five really scary
men so I decided to go to Starbucks. I told The guy I would be
waiting at Starbucks and orderd a latte vanilla. When I was waiting
for my latte I saw him and he came to me and gave me a hug. We sat
down at a table for two and I drank my coffee and started changing my
flats for high heels. The he said he wanted to ask me something. I
definitely knew what was coming but I was so nervous and excited at
the same time. He said to me: ''SuQin, do you want to be my date for
this evening?'' I felt like I was going to faint on my high heels but
I nodded and said yes. In the meantime an other classmate found us at
Starbucks and the three of us went looking for the classmate who
would drive all of us to the destination of the party. When we found
her the fun began. I was a little scared because she drove a little
scary with heels. When we arrived The guy opened the door for me and
helped me out of the car, how romantic. Once we were there with
almost our whole class, I felt a lot less uncomfortable.
We sat
all together at a big table when the food was served. It was pretty
good, but I had only eyes for The guy and I was finishing up the
engagement present with a classmate. After, I guess kind of dinner,
it was time to dance. Me and my classmates had the time of our lives,
dancing on Turkish music. When I saw the girl who was getting
engaged, I was blown away by her dress. It was absolutely ah-mazing!
It was a coral ballgown with sparkles everywhere, she looked
absolutely stunning. At a given moment there was a litte slower music
and all the couples started slow dancing. The rest of the people left
the dance floor. I knew this was going to happen that evening but
after a few songs The guys asked me to dance. I was a little shy and
didn't want to dance at first, but my classmates persuaded me and I
gave in. So The guy and I were dancing and I was so nervous, but I
had a great time. I actually can't remember the rest of the evening
as clear as this.
What I
do remember is our goodbye. When it was time for us to go The guy
walked with me to the bus. I gave him a hug and said that I would see
him the next Monday. I told the other guy who came with us goodbye
and gave him a friendly handshake. I just did not know what to do, so
that looked to me the best thing to do in such situation. When I look
back now, I think it is the most unlikely thing to do ever and I'm
really ashmed. What on earth did that guy think on that moment?! He
never mentioned it so I think he didn't mind. When I got home I
texted The guy that I got home safe and had a really great evening.
He texted back that he also did have a great night.
When I
got at my parents house that weekend I told them everything and I
shined when I was talking about that evening. They were absolutely
sure that it was all going to be alright. That Sunday I texted The
guy that we should definitely make sushi soon! -He had promised me
that a while ago- So I suggested to make sushi on Monday at my house
in Nijmegen. He agreed and I was so god damn nervous for the next day
that I would see him again. Monday the next day after school I told
The guy that I would pick him up at the station and that we then
would walk to the supermarket for the ingedients. We both never made
sushi ourselves. Luckily my room mate would help us a little, she
works at a restaurant and was happy to help. After we both ate like
three pieces of sushi we were full and went upstairs to watch some tv
and talk.We sat both really nervous next to each other on my couch
and I felt extremely uncomfortable. What was I supposed to say? And
of course we were watching some weddingdress programme. After a while
sittng next to each other he told me that he liked me. I was shocked
and did not know what to say, I litteraly did say that I didn't know
what to say. How stupid could I be?! We had a great evening and after
all he went home a lot of hours later than planned.
We did
not arrange something for a few days. We saw each other at school and
talked sometimes. One day we walked from one location of our school
to the other one and I told the group we walked with that I had to
park my bicycle. The guy walked with me, I did not know what to do.
It was so sweet. Why did I react so stupid?! I saw a friend of mine
and later that day she asked me what I was doing with The guy there.
I said that I didn't know what to do back then and that I had no idea
why he walked with me.
The
next time we saw each other outside school was after exams. He came
to me and we went looking for a light bulb, because the bulb in our
kitchen was broken. After hours we found one, once we arrived home,
the bulb didn't fit.. We went back and got the good one. After the
light bulb adventure we went to the park where we went looking to the
bambi's. I had a great day. That week we saw each other almost every
day after school. On Tuesday October 31th, he asked me to
be his girlfriend, but I told him that it was Halloween and that I
didn't want Halloween to be our anniversary, so I
told him that it maybe would be a good idea to ask me the same
question the next day. And so, November 1st, he
asked me again if I would be his girlfried. I said yes, of course On
Friday we had lunch at a really nice French restaurant and watched a
movie for the first time together. Guess which one that was. It was
'The Notebook' and of course I had to cry. After 'The Notebook came
the biggest surprise, our first kiss.
I
cannot really remember all the stuff that happened after that week.
The next thing that I can remember clearly is our one month
anniversary, I was sick that week so I hadn't see him for a week and
that Friday he came to me . On Satuday December 1st he
brought me chocolates and one red rose.

This
is our story, I hope I will remember it for the rest of my life, but
just in case I won't I just wrote everything down.
