Sorry for the wait everyone.. ok.. here's what happend that day
Well the whole idea began one day while were talking online. She was telling me about her brake up with her boyfriend. We talked for probably a good hour. Right before she was about to leave, she asked if I wanted to go see a movie with her! At first it was almost kind of hard to believe. I really wasn't expecting anything like that! So of course I said yes, and we planned a day.
As I mentioned before (>>51), I did EVERYTHING I could think of to prepare. I was a mess. I was eating anti acid tablets like there was no tomorrow. I couldn't even sleep (something that's usually never a problem for me). Anyway, I got to her apartment about 10 minutes early. As I waited in the parking lot, every little possible thing that could go wrong was flashing in my head. Did I have the right place? Does she even really want to go? Then I noticed her from the corner of my eye. For a while I was to scared to even raise my head... she looked so beautiful. Finally I looked up, greeted her, and gave her the plant. She seemed pretty surprised/happy about it! She was also kinda excited to see my car (It was pretty new then).
As we drove to the theater, she noticed my car had a stick shift. She was curious about it, so I tried my best to explain to her how it all worked. Eventually, I was having her change the gears for me. Sometimes she would be confused and not know what to do, so I put my hand on hers and helped her guide it. As good as it seemed.. it was nothing more than that. orz
Hmm.. there's not much to say about what happend at the theater. One thing that was kinda nice though was that when we sat down, she didn't put the arm rest down that would've separated us. Besides that, we didn't really say anything during the movie. I was pretty nervous even while just sitting there. I found that I really had to focus just to be able to follow what was happening in the movie. Thinking back, the movie was kind of a blur.
Afterwards, we tried to think of somewhere to eat. I had a few places in mind, but she said they were kind of expensive for her. I told her not to worry about it, but she seemed sort of uncomfortable about me paying, so we agreed that we'd just cook something! We headed back to her apartment to get some ingredients, then went to my house.
She decided to make oyakodon and started cooking right away. I did what I could to help, then just watched her. It made me so happy just to think she there was with me, in my kitchen, cooking something for me. It felt like a dream. I wished that everyday would be like that.
When we sat down to eat, I lit a candle that was at the center of the table. I felt a little akward doing it, so I tried to play it off as nonchalant as possible. Anyway, the oyakodon was really good! Although, I was so nervous that it was kind of hard to eat. Afterwards, she showed me some pictures she had in her purse of her and her friends from Japan. One was a purikura, and I noticed she had some extras, so I asked if I could have one... I've kept it in my wallet ever since. After we had looked through the pictures, she pulled out a card from the pile. As I took a look at the card, I noticed that it was my business card that I gave her on the day we met!! I couldn't believe she still had it! (T_T)
After that we watched some videos she brought of a japanese group called L'Arc-en-Ciel. Aaaand.. that was pretty much it. I drove her home, thanked her for everything, walked her to her door(she seemed kinda confused about me doing this), and that was the end.
hmmmm.... I think I might have made it seem better than it actually was. I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy it.. to me it was like a dream. But... I was really nervous the whole time.. so I think a few times became kind of akward.. orz
So.. that was the first time we went out. That was about 6 months ago now. We got together one more time after I gave her the poster (i wrote a little bit about it at >>60) and that was the last time. I'll tell more about that in another post.
Anyway, It's been a few days now since I've been waiting to see her online. But I'm not gonna give up! I have no plans tomorrow besides to do a little work (which I do on my computer anyway), so I'm gonna try to stay up and wait for her. I could really use the help if anybody's willing!
