It was lunchtime, and as the savory aroma filled the air, my girlfriend and I stood in her cozy kitchen. Her mother, a warm and welcoming woman, was busily preparing a delicious meal for us. The anticipation of spending this moment together filled me with a mix of excitement and nervousness.
I wished to bring flowers for my girlfriend, but the circumstances didn't allow it. You see, I had introduced her to my family as my online best friend, fearing their suspicions about our romantic relationship. However, I had a plan to make this day special in my own unique way. Instead of flowers, I brought along her favorite dessert, carefully prepared with love, and a portrait sketch of her, which I had crafted myself.
As I engaged in conversation with her mom, my heart raced. I seized the perfect opportunity and discreetly handed the dessert box to her, hoping she would accept it without questioning its significance. To my relief, her mom received it with a smile, unknowingly becoming a part of my surprise.
Our conversation turned to cooking, and I mustered up the courage to share my culinary skills. Her mom seemed surprised and impressed, showering me with compliments. In that moment, she declared that I was their homie, instantly accepting me as part of their family. It was a genuine gesture that touched my heart, and I felt a sense of belonging I had longed for. I was on cloud nine.
Her mom knew about our relationship, which only added to the nervous excitement within me. Later Her Dad walked into the hall and saw me. I greeted him and then he told me that me and my girlfriend look so alike, after seeing me because we had almost same height and I was trying to control my laughter as I stood still. As we finished our delicious meal, her family suddenly had to attend a wedding, and aunt and uncle got ready to leave. My girlfriend took my hand and led me towards the living room, upstairs beside her bedroom. There, we settled onto the sofa and decided to watch a comedy horror movie together.
As we laughed at the funny scenes unfolding on the screen, my heart raced even faster. My girlfriend sat unusually close to me, leaning her head on my shoulder. I couldn't help but wonder if this was all real or just a sweet dream. Overwhelmed with emotions, I summoned the courage to hold her hand.
Looking into her eyes, I could see the happiness radiating from within her. I couldn't resist staring at her, mesmerized by her beauty. She playfully tilted my head towards the TV, reminding me to enjoy the movie. Her delicate touch caressed my chubby cheeks, sending shivers down my spine. In that magical moment, she kissed me on the cheek, and time seemed to stand still.
Amid our laughter and joy, I gently kissed her hand, holding it close to my heart. It was a simple gesture, but it symbolized the immense happiness that had blossomed within me. My inner child rejoiced, as if it had finally found the missing piece to complete the puzzle of my life. For years, I had yearned for a love as beautiful as this, and now, I was living it. Every moment was a testament to the wonders that life could offer.
As we continued to watch the movie, my heart filled with gratitude. I silently thanked the heavens for allowing our paths to cross and bringing the love of my life into my arms. Deep inside, I knew that this was just the beginning of an extraordinary journey, where every moment would be cherished, and every chapter would be written with love.
