Happy unofficial one year, Adrian Edgar[grrr] Hong.
Remember what happened this same day last year?
It was the beginning of many things.
I blogged about it, but it wasn't as complete as it should have been.
Honestly, I was afraid of what others would think of me.
Having broken up with someone only three days prior,
how could my heart already be with someone else so soon?
Perhaps before it all ended, I had already found someone else whom I knew would treat me better.
It's true.
This same day last year...
Adrian and I had planned to meet up after our families stopped keeping in touch.
So I headed to Berkeley with Stephen and Jeff.
We took BART and got off at the Powell station.
When we arrived, I called Adrian because I didn't know where he was going to meet me.
He went from Apple to Payless Shoes trying to figure out where I was.
Eventually, he got it right when he headed out of Abercrombie and Fitch.
I don't know what got over me, but I found myself running towards him and hugging him tight.
I don't recall
ever doing that in my life.
We said our goodbyes to Stephen and Jeff and we started to explore San Francisco on our own.
To break the ice, Adrian pretended to hop on my back, but it wasn't really awkward to begin with.
The only time was when we went to Starbucks and I was waiting for him to get his drink.
Otherwise, it was as if it had always been that comfortable.
Me and him.
We walked around Westfield mall for a while.
I remember walking close next to him and holding onto his sleeve as his hand slipped into mines.
It felt... normal.
At some point, we left the mall and were walking along Market Street.
There was a hug we had in front of a pretty colorful wall that felt really nice.
We also held hands while we walked.
And I squeezed his hand every time we walked past a homeless person and he would squeeze back.
We were on Market Street for so long that it felt never ending.
Somewhere along Market Street, I kissed him.
The first kiss I gave him was on his neck because it was the closest I could get to his cheek.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the first time he kissed my forehead or cheek, but maybe he does.
We ended up getting lost.
We were trying to find Stussy on Haight, but we must have been walking the wrong direction.
After a long while, we decided to turn back and head towards the mall.
We witnessed a guy getting caught trying to steal from a woman's car as she screamed at him.
We turned around quickly and picked a random street to walk on.
On a street that we didn't know the name of, he stopped me from walking and kissed me.
He actually kissed me.
Our first kiss.
And it was lovely.
A lot of what I remember from the day is swirled around.
I don't remember the specific order of everything that happened.
But I still remember what occurred.
We got back to the mall and we decided to watch a movie.
Our first little movie date.
Alvin and the Chipmunks was the movie of choice.
We had popcorn and I ate a lot of it.
When the movie ended, Adrian totally pounced on me.
Serious.
After that, he told me was waiting for me to stop eating popcorn, but I never did.
It was funny.
We bought a piece of Tiramisu cake to share.
We sat on the ground against the wall to eat it.
We also talked and wondered if we would work out considering the distance.
We didn't really come up with a conclusion then.
Everything just happened to fall into place.
We hugged in front of the Christmas tree in Union Square.
It was dark out and the tree was lit.
And it felt so nice to be hugged so sweetly.
When it was almost time to go,
it was sad.
We sat in the spot where we had a view of a shopping stall trying to sell beauty products.
Stephen and Jeff met back up with us.
I was unsure of whether or not it would be okay to still kiss Adrian because I was afraid of what they would think.
But I did it anyways.
We hugged one last time when Stephen, Jeff and I had to go take BART back to Berkeley.
I felt really empty when he left.
But it definitely wasn't the end for us.
I love you, cute stuff. <4
To be continued.
