I've tried so many times but they're not budging. So I've taken to PM'ing Everyone that asks for the update. So here you go:
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for my update. I never dreamt that many of you would send me PM's asking for my update!
So, the four months of her being away are up. Jess was supposed to be arriving home on the 8th of this month. I'd had my plan all worked out for a while- wait by the arrivals gate, slightly off to the side so that she'd have to scan the room for me, and I'd have nothing but a monstrous smile upon my face when we finally made eye contact. Y'know, proper cheesy rom-com style. However, I never made it to the airport... I never got the chance...
Whilst at work on the 30th of September, the door phone rang and the person at the other end said that there was a delivery. Being a very small outfit of 4 people, and the junior member being myself, I'm the one that's stuck with always answering the door. Since I hadn't ordered anything, I knew it wasn't for me so I was mumbling the entire was there. Now imagine my surprise when the person on the other side was an absolutely gorgeous 20 year old girl with long blonde hair... It was Jess!
Without telling me or even giving any form of hint, she had changed her flight to arrive home early and surprise me. As soon as my brain had registered what was going on, I burst into tears, and she followed suit. I then grabbed her by the waist, pulled her into myself, and kissed her more deeply than I'd ever kissed anyone before. After what felt like an hour, I pulled away and told her to wait by the door. I ran upstairs to grab my things and said to the guys "I need to leave". My boss laughed and just said "okay" without a fight... The fucker knew. Jess has sent him an email to tell him what she was planning to do and had given her the all clear to go ahead with it. He had known for over a month at this point and he didn't let anything slip.
I went back down to her, took her hand, and led her to my car. We when off for lunch and then off to our favourite place together- one particular beach that was over an hour away. During the journey she told me all about her travels. I had heard them all before since we spoke almost every day but there was something about her excited self telling my every little detail that made hearing them all over again that little bit better.
By the time we'd gotten to the beach, it was absolutely lashing it down. But that didn't stop us from walking up to out favourite viewpoint on the dunes. I held her in the rain whilst looking out to the clear sky on the horizon, until I spun her around and kissed her again. She pulled away and grinned, before she putting on her serious face, looking me dead in the eyes, and uttered "I think I love you...". Well, I burst out crying again. Somewhere between sobs I managed to say "I love you too". But it was a little bit perfect. We stayed there to watch the sunset and, fortunately, the rained stopped so we could enjoy it more.
And, Reddit, that is basically it. We've been together since and we're practically inseparable. There likely won't be an update because there's not much else to say. I will ask for one thing from you all:
Wish us luck!
TL;DR - Jess is home, gave me a cute surprise, we're now together :)
Enjoy :)
