I can’t help but remember how our first meeting was like.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please keep your seat belts fasten… “
Something went through my body, like a lightning.
There I was, even though I couldn’t really believe it.
As I looked through the small window the airport building appeared.

Almost all people went out before I could make myself stand up and get my stuff from the plane.
I was following everybody to the checkout and to the luggage claim line. But my mind was somewhere else.

This would be the first time to meet Danny after a year.
My heart was more then frozen as I realized that again. It almost stopped beating.
I was so afraid!
He is the one who makes me smile and who makes me so happy. And I knew what he feels about me. I was just not sure if he will like me once I stand in front of him.

I took my suitcase and I was all in sweat, almost in panic when I turned toward the exit.

I knew that he will be a little late and that he has to go soon. So I went through the door and had to find my way through the crowd.
Seats were on the other side of the hall so I decided to go there.
It was so warm that I took off my jacket and stayed in armless shirt. But it was still too warm and I needed some fresh air.
Danny will be here in about fifteen minutes.
Oh God, what will he say?

I couldn’t rest. I was standing near the airport chairs and looking through the window at the lights outside. The air had such a nice smell of summer in it.

Suddenly I heard a silent whisper behind me: “Hello baby!”
My whole body became numb.
I turned around slowly and saw Danny’s face. Another lightning went through my body and heart as I looked at his eyes.
He was smiling and looking at me.
There I was finally, and all I could do was check if my heart is still beating.

“Hi Danny… “, was all I could say before I almost fell over the chair. It was so hard to control the outburst of feelings.
I tried to read the signs on his handsome face. No bad signals for now.
That made me breathe a bit easier.
I was terrified that he might not like me.

In the next moment I stepped forward and put my arms around his neck while he put his hands on my waist. It was something I wanted to do since I first talked to him.
It felt so good to be so close to him.
“Oh Danny, I missed you so much!”
He suddenly pulled me closer and looked into my eyes. I wanted to kiss him, but I almost fainted, so all I could do is lean on him and wait for my heart to calm down.

Danny was holding me really close. I looked up and kissed slowly his cheek, just a hint near his lips. I wasn’t strong enough to give him a real kiss. I could feel the beat of his heart on my chest, it was getting faster.
He stroked with one hand over my hair, and then he stopped at my neck and pulled me just a bit till I was close enough to his lips.
He looked once again into my eyes and touched my lips tenderly.
I couldn’t breathe.
I left a couple of small kisses on his lips before we remembered that we had to go.
My knees were all soft and I could hardly stand.
It was hard to go apart from his lips again, but he had to go and he’d bring me to the taxi first.

I was holding his hand tight all the way to the taxi station.
We didn’t say anything. As I entered the taxi, he smiled and said “Good night baby, I’ll be there early in the morning.”
Then he came closer and kissed me again.
As I arrived at the hotel, the feeling was still there, on my lips.

We met each other a year ago on a trip. Didn’t do much except exchange some words and jokes, and that was about it. The trouble started after we exchanged the pictures from the trip, and started chatting almost every night.
