It was him...
.............. of course I felt like my knees were giving up one me, he was calling ME 10 seconds after I walked in the door....why but WHY??!!! am I feeling this way? I don't know but I am shaking it off right at this moment and go on with the payment of my Health insurance, after all that is why we are doing this!.....right?....
He came right away and we went to pay for things. I was grateful for his help and kind of sad that is was over but then he asked me if I was hungry.
WHY??! I am NOT hungry yet, at least not for "American" food. But somehow I said yes.
We had Subway at school and then headed back. As we walked we talked and talked. It was so easy to talk to him, somehow we never ran out of things to say.
The next day was just like the one before. I went to school and when I came home the phone rang almost immediately (maybe he was watching me) we headed to run more errands for me and then we would talk for a long time. Until he was kicked out of my apt. then we would move to the lobby.
Thursday night came and I was kind of down. I didn't have classes on Fridays and David had told me that he was going to be out with his friends, he was going to watch the release of The Mummy returns. Not only was I sad that he wasn't going to be around to keep me company, he was going to see the movie I was DYING to see!! my brother and I loved the first one and were dying to see the squeal, he had to wait another month to see it and it looked like I was going to wait a little more than that.
Or maybe not....

First day of school.
He hugged me!!!!!!!!
Wow was my world spinning, I had never thought I could get that close to him. It was the most awkward moment and it lasted like two seconds!............but I .......like it (blush)
That night, as I laid down on my bed I could not stop thinking about how nice it felt being in his arms, how nice he was, not like when he was a missionary, how fun it was to talk to him about myself and not just the Gospel. I was glad I had him with me but I needed to do something.
There was no way I was going to let this attraction grow. First, he had served one amazing mission. He was so dedicated and so many people looked up to him in a way I can't explain. I myself had been shocked that he got my brother to read the Book of Mormon. Too many people in my country were blessed by his work and I was not going to ruin that with rumors.
Then there was his family! I am so sure they would think I came following him, that I came to trap him and convince him to marry him just so I could get a Green card and stay in the States. No, I couldn't do that to him. Plus my mom told me very specifically to not get a boyfriend until I finish College or else!!!
It was settle then, I was going to make sure he knew we were friends and that I did not follow him here to marry him! and that I did not like white boys. The end!
I got up extra early to make it to my first day. Emily came and helped get there. She is so nice and SO pretty! what a shame to walk by her. At school we went through a lot of testing to be placed in our classes, we were also told the rules of the program and all the errands we needed to run. Finally the day was over and as I walked home I wondered if I should call David or wait for him to call when his classes were over. I didn't think I had his number and I didn't want to bother him.
I opened my door and my room mate came out and told me a bunch of "wachi wachi" I was trying so hard to understand her, so she finally came and pointed at the phone, and there I saw his name and phone number. I was about to call when I heard the phone ring, she picked up and then smile and gave it to me.

First time alone.
I really don't remember much more of that time with his family, except that Kylie told me bye with the biggest smile on her face. Man I was already in love with the kid.
Aunt Karen was driving us home and as I thought about the fun time we had, I wished it was longer. Who knows when I'll see him again and it was nice to have a friend in a place where I was so lonely.
As we say goodbye to everyone I was trying so HARD not to cry. I am THE biggest cry baby and I knew I could get some tears in my eyes again at the thought of not seeing him again. We were good friends and shared too many stories together. Plus I wasn't feeling as lonely with him around.
We were at the door as he said, with the cutest little grin, "Do you want to go and get some ice cream?"
**** I melted****
then I said, "Sure, it sounds fun!" Understand for a minute that I had no been hungry since I got to UT, I was not happy with the food here and my appetite was overwritten by homesickness. I did NOT want ice cream, I was too cold! but how could I say no to that little grin on his face and the green eyes that faded as he made the grin. how?
Up we walked from Heritage Halls to D.T. went to a little store with tons of candy in little boxes that you can just open and take. I was wondering how they were still in business, I mean, the students sure come and just eat it without being seen! that is what would have happen at home anyway.
He ordered an ice cream mix thing with Sprite, very tasty but it took me about 2 hours to eat it. We sat at one of the farther tables and right across from each other, it was kind of weird, he was close and why? someone tell me WHY??!! was he looking so cute all the sudden? I do not like white pale pasty boys! or blond hair or missionaries!!!!...
Still, I could feel very nervous as I notice that he looked into my eyes. We talked about the people we taught together and I gave him the letters that members sent with me. I remember knowing that it was just an environmental thing, two young adults, a new place, the crisp night, the moon, the knowledge that at that moment it was just the two of us. Just a perfect setting to feel so...so.. the way I was feeling. I knew that the next day everything was going to be back to normal and I was pretty sure I wouldn't see him again.
As we walked back to our rooms he told me some stories from his Freshman year ( note to self, find out what Freshman meant) By then it was so easy to talk to him, he told me stories and I threw in some of mine, we had a great time. As we approached the door, I felt sad to have to say goodbye, I didn't know if I would see him again, right then he told me that he would call me the next day after school and take me to the office where I would pay for my health insurance.
***Sight of relieve****
There was the door, just right then I realized that I didn't know what to do!! The natural thing was to shake his hand but he started to move closer facing me, and then...
