First Meeting

During this time I was absolutely and madly in love with him even though we hadn't spend a minute together. He finally asked me out a couple of weeks later but only to meet up as friends, which really disheartened me as I wanted more.

I decided to meet him and we arranged to meet near a tube station. He told me what colour his car would be. I was feeling anxious and nervous all at the same time, as I had never done anything like this before and was afraid of getting caught even before my love story had even begun.

I got up feeling butterflies in my stomach and got dressed feeling shaky as I was so nervous and excited at the same time.

I couldn't believe myself when I found myself sitting in his car. He drove off and I can't even remember if I talked or not but I recall sitting there staring at him feeling mesmerised. I had brought along an audio just in case I got bored, at least I could comfort myself by listening to my favourite tunes.

In fact I think I actually told him that, he was so easy going and the more I sat there looking at him the more I could feel my skin burning. When we finally arrived at our destination "Woburn Safari Park", I felt a bit at ease but still cautious as he was after all a stranger.

As we drove past the monkeys, he lowered my window, which automatically made me lean towards his side of the car, as I was afraid of a little monkey jumping in and scratching my face off. As I leaned towards his side with panic in my face, he stared directly at me, which made me feel even more nervous and I forgot about the monkey being a threat.

He parked the car so that we could go and feed the birds. He held a little cup with some solution, which made all the birds fly over to him and there were birds sitting on his hands etc. This was the closest contact I had with animals and I was a bit scared but he wrapped his arm around me protectively.

When we finally came out of this section, there was an enormous owl sitting on a rail, he looked at it in amazement asking me if it was real. I just looked at him looking at the owl and he reminded me of a curious little boy eyeing a brand new toy. I really wanted to hug him really tight.
