Finally.

You know that moment where things click into your life? Everything that has ever happened, suddenly makes sense and you're happy for even the bad things because it all led to this moment? It happened for me. After a long, cold, and bitter Winter, the time came... It all started back in January. The winds were freezing, but not so freezing classes would be postponed. The atmosphere was calm and new as we filed into our classes or ran to our classes after being lost. After a boring, but welcomed syllabus discussion, the class was filled with first day groans as the professor started off with lesson one rather then letting us go early. The good news with that class is there was no first day homework. The day went on as normal going through the rest of my classes and soon enough I was in my second week. I made a few friends, while keeping my old ones who were still on the campus. Out of the four classes I had this semester, only one had me actually interested. Greek mythology. Modernized or in the style it's written. It's amazing and always full of lessons while making one laugh. Or at least. It made me laugh. Well it was the third week that it became more interesting. A student whose name was called but never said here, finally had a face. I never deemed myself a person who went for looks but by the gods, this face had me entranced. The hair was of an ebony color. Dark and so soft looking, my hands were itching to run through it. I was able to snap out of it enough to focus on the lecture but it became my method to spare a glance whenever, between notes and when speaking. Telling my friends of this crazy, random attraction did nothing to quell it. They teased as friends do. The college isn't big but it isn't small either. After a chance moment seeing the person who unknowingly put me under their spell the teasing became a little less as they understood my feelings. They weren't attracted persay but could see why I was attracted. They even heard them speak. While it didn't affect them, they admitted that they can understand. The voice was that of an Angel. So smooth and without fault. No cracks or splits or weird throat noises that sometimes plague us. Just, perfection. Unfortunately they only heard the voice because they were passing by with their own friends. I forced myself to not stare. The day went on. It was in February that I was able to speak to this figure. The instructor did temporary groups for that day. This magnificent being waloed over to my desk and asked if I wanted to be partners for today. I recall thanking whoever is above for giving me this moment while I calmly said "Sure". While I already knew the name of this person, I pretended I didn't for the sake of not looking creepy. Lee was this persons nickname and what they preferred to be called, over their real name which was pretty if I'm being honest. Then again, I think everything about Lee is amazing so. Clearly I'm biased. After that team up, I was able to speak to Lee more without real reason. We said greetings and actually had real non class related conversations. Eventually we became real friends. We even exchanged numbers. My friends were ecstatic for me. I had more then I thought I would. One day I noticed Lee was staring at me. So I simply made a face in retort. This became our thing. I no longer had to stare in secret, persay. Well. My friends took this as a chance. See how Lee feels about you, they said. Of course I laughed in response. "It's February. We met a month ago. Just because I'm crushing doesn't mean it's mutual. We just happen to vibe well." My friends let this go until the next week. It was during a time where we were letting loose that I wasn't truly thinking. We were hanging out at one of their houses and drinking. (Don't worry. We all were over 21.) In hindsight, I should've turned my phone off, and wrestled who had my phone down. But in my own tipsy stupor I wasn't thinking. I swore there'd be no harm. They decided to text while in their tipsy stupor everything I had said to them in confidence about how I felt about Lee. I didn't know until the next day. Lee had texted me that we have to talk when we next see each other. It was then I saw the messages. I apologized and Lee said don't worry. We will talk about this soon, but not now and that they have to go. They won't be on the phone for a while. I wished them safe travels and left it. I had never felt more scared or worried in my life. I was also feeling horrified because the fact is, it was true. I couldn't take anything back when none of it was false to begin with. Classes soon canceled due to an issue with the staff and faculty. A strike had occured. So what would've been a week, turned into two weeks. I saw pictures of Lee being outside of state so I assumed our talk if still remembered would be later. Two weeks turned into a month. I texted Lee but got no response. Assuming the worst, I didnt try again. I'm a prideful person. It was two more weeks later when classes resumed. At this point there was still no response and Lee wasn't in class. Greek mythology become one of the classes I didn't like. Not for the topic but for the memory and hope that my heart kept having upon thinking Lee would be there. Now it's March 10. My friends saw my change in mood, no matter how I tried to hide it. They jokingly said maybe Lee is waiting for spring to come back. While I know they were playing, I believed it like a fool. It was nine long days but Spring did come. I decided to do better. Keep my mind off the mysterious and enigmatic Lee. Little did I know how right my friend was. It was still cold outside but warmer then it had been in ages. Warm enough to have that winter coat open. I was walking outside to a table for the first time since fall when I heard my name being called. That smooth voice rocked me to my core. Putting my stuff down I turned and had to hide my shock. Lee was there in the flesh. Huffing as if they'd just ran. "I'm sorry. I should've said this sooner but. I was worried and then. Time kept passing and I'm so sorry. " Lee said with a sad look passing through the eyes that I can say I loved. Not knowing what to say I simply said. "Hi. How have you been" and just smiled. Lee looked at me. I got the biggest smile I've seen on that face yet and then suddenly the distance between us was closed. All the distance was closed. It took half a second to realize Lee's hands were holding me close and Lee's lips were on mine. It took half a second more for me to respond. Stopping the moment and restong against my forehead Lee apologized again and asked if I was single. Chuckling that the question should've been asked before kissing me but. Lee isn't that patient sometimes. I chuckled an said yes. "Will you go on a date with me? I've honestly been crazy about you for a while but was too worried to say anything. I know that you probably were tipsy that day but I was too happy when you said what you had. I wanted to take proper precautions to not scare you away and felt it better if it happen in person. Then time got away and I had family things to take care of. But I'm back now so.. Will you? ".. My answer was of course in kissing this beautiful face that I missed so much. I could feel Lee smile against me before responding and pushing the kiss deeper. It wasn't long before my friends saw. I could hear them hollering with joy and saying they're going to take pictures. This was that moment. Everything worked out. Everything led to this. Romantically speaking I am happy. Academically speaking, I have work to do. I'm tutoring Lee in greek mythology and Lee has gotten help with the other classes. Whatever the reason, it was good enough for the other classes to give Lee a chance to catch up. Now. Everything is set. Spring really is the season for new birth as well as endless possibilities.
