Her First Encounter

When I found out he was coming to Australia & was about my age, I decided to add him as a friend on Facebook. I intended it as a way to get to know someone here before they arrived. Besides, he was a bit hot and that's always a plus. (My selfish side thought it'd be cool to have the hot foreign friend.) I have to say the thought was there, in the back of my mind, that something might happen, but it wasn't a very serious one. Kinda like Grease… Summer love and all that?

I was aware of the fact that there was more to his coming here than just a 3 month holiday, I just didn't think much of it at the time.

Our first encounter was a New Years Eve party. He’d just flown in that day and I remember it was a really warm Australian evening. I was so curious as to who this guy was, what he was like, how he talked (you’ve got to love the accent). Fighting my own curiosity I tried not to bombard him with questions.

We got along well, he was happy to talk, ask questions & tell stories with the rest of them. Our conversation was never forced, we flowed in and out of the circles that formed during the night and just got to know each other a little better.

I don't recall anything too profound happening, no huge fireworks, no kiss at midnight, just the thought that he was damn hot & how cool it would be if we got together.
