We had an amazing hike. You loved it, and mentioned that you really enjoyed it and I’m so happy you did. Your first waterfall, mountain, and hike! God i loved seeing you experience it. It was such a perfect day. Even though i was out of breath, i got to hold your hand so many times, guiding you through some of the trails, looking back at you to make sure you were doing okay. I loved sweating with you lol You were so cute with your giddyup, long ankle socks, hat, hoodie, then you revealed your Spider-man tank underneath when it got hot. Gosh, you’re adorable, and cute and sexy, but like, a rare type of sexy. We hiked back and it was just lovely. Chatting, literally the whole time, looking for mushrooms, bugs and pretty ferns and soft moss. We got back and ate lunch together in the little picnic area they had at the entrance to the parking lot. It became apparent after like the 2nd person, we were the unofficial welcome/visitor center for others LOL it was hilarious and I loved it. I don’t think you did too much, but that’s okay. I’ll be the goofy, more talkative one of the two of us.

We played the burning questions card game and just chatted and learned so much about each other, for ie; you don’t like fufu (we’re gonna change that), and cucumbers! You’re insecure about not being enough 🙁 your sister is your hero, AWWWW… you like sparkling water and other things, I can’t remember!

We wrapped up our lunch and started to head out. It was so beautiful outside, i loved it so much. We stopped by one more overlook before leaving cause i really wanted you to see the mtns one more time, but also secretly wanted to kiss you at the mtn top, hehe. I’m a romantic, I’m sorry! We stood on the grass curb and took it in, His magnificence. I stepped down and looked up at you and said, “kiss me.. Here at the top, kiss me.” You smiled and did. You placed your right hand on my cheek softly and kissed me. My brain must have short-circuited because your last kiss, my mouth just stayed partly open and you finished with a kiss on my nose. You’re so sweet, and lovely and cute–fuck. I was like damn, I’m not done lol I was so grateful for that moment. For all the moments, really.

We got in my car and continued on. I wanted to stop by somewhere and just chill, relax a tiny bit more before we really start heading home so i mentioned Little Switz to you. And even though Sonny boy was waiting for you at home, you said yes anyway. My gosh… so i was like okay, I have to make it worth it. Saw a little Inn on a tight curb so busted a yewy and came back to it. Soooooo glad we stopped cause it so stinkin cute! The restaurant/bar was upscale, but in a mountain, small-town, quaint, little sibling kind of way. We sat and chatted with the bartender. He’s from the mountains, moved to clt for a year and just moved back, his last name was O-six--his dad was a black panther and changed his last name before he was born. Guy wants to open his own bar, AND a tattoo parlor and daycare for his sisters. You liked that alot. You’re so family-oriented. You were actually interested in knowing more of him and his plans and aspirations. It was endearing for some reason. You ordered a pinot-grigio and i had their old-fashioned. It was such a movie moment 💚 When we wrapped up our drinks and left the bar, we met an adorable pit on the other side of the shop, you saw some newspaper clippings that very much caught your eye (twice), and took in another view of the mountains on the balcony. It was lovely.

Then we were on the road again. Twisting and weaving, you didn’t seem too bothered by my driving, and you seemed to trust me on the road. Yay!

We talked some more, I told you my pin and you went through my phone on Spotify and we just listened to a bunch of songs. But as we were about an hour out I just eased in to it, i didn’t even plan on doing that.. the “what are we” talk LOL but i did.

“So… what do you think about us, or me–so far” Gosh, all of the confidence just left me. And i was holding your hand most of the drive, including this time. I was so nervous all of a sudden, i mean ik you like me for the most part but still, I just wasn’t 100% sure. I needed some help so you asked me “you mean like relationship wise, like if we were to be labeled?”, “Yea, like long-term, would you want that with me? A long-term relationship”? You took like, literally one second to answer, placed your index finger on my arm (btw, I love when you rub my arm to comfort me. I fucking love that so much) and just flat out said “yes” and something else like, I paused my profile (Hinge) after the 2nd date and just knew from that point on. Which i was little shocked lol ngl. You said you chatted with other girls but nothing ever left the app. Then i proceeded to tell you that i was talking with someone else while dating you, and i didn’t realize i wanted to be with you until after our 5th date. Wow lol then we talked about relationships, our love languages, our expectations for one another and of the relationship. It was a very rich convo. Then you asked if i liked fall activities, like pumpkin patches and corn mazes. I said hell yea lol we were both smiling like idiots, me especially. Like, wow, we’re girlfriends now. You & me–A & S, ugh…

Can’t wait for dinners and trips with you, babe. It’s going to be one hell of an adventure <3
