On March 11th 2018 at 5:55 am I kissed the love of my life for the first time.
We both went to the same Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy in Colorado , he was my also my kickboxing coach. About a year into being at the academy I started to think I might feel attracted to him. And as time went on I started catching feelings for him. We both flirted back and forth for 6 months without either of us knowing if the other was truly flirting back. In March we both traveled to California to compete at the Pan American Championship. The group from the gym that came out all shared an Air BnB together. The whole trip I got more and more confident that he liked me back. On the last night we had stayed up all night sitting at a table drinking limeritas. Eventually at 4 in the morning everyone else gave up and went to bed. The next couple of hours was just him and me hanging out and flirting our butts off.
5:55 came around and two of the teammates I was riding to the airport with were up and ready to get in the Uber. His flight was at a later time so it was time for us to say good bye. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in close and sent me off with our first kiss.
I ordered our star map for our one year anniversary. We now live together and it sits in our living room to remind us of that special moment that started our forever.
