Chapter 1 Dear Diary (part 1)
Costa Rica, March 7th 1998
Dear diary,
I'm having the best time of my life in Costa Rica. I've made a lot of new friends and I really feel I've done a lot of good already over here. I'm becoming a better person.
Oh, and the best thing is: I think I've met the love of my life. He's everything I ever dreamed of. He's sweet, caring, funny, good looking and I think he cares for me as much as I care for him. I think this might be love.
You know how everyone says being in love feels like you have butterflies in your stomach? Well, there must be millions of them. Everytime I see him I have to try so hard not to get lost in his beautiful eyes. And sometimes I really get lost in my own little world when I see him working. He's starting to get muscles now and seeing him helping the people here with rebuilding their homes and planting trees... Well let's just say, seeing him sweat without a shirt on, working hard... It makes me loose track of time. Maybe I should change the subject, I'm starting to get lost again...
We've been together for 4 months now and we've been together in every way, and I do mean every way. I turned 17 on the 21st of January and it was the best birthday I ever had...
We started of having a party with all of our new friends and other students and teachers here with us. Then all of a sudden everyone had another party to go to, so they all left. Ofcourse this was something he had agreed on with everyone, so he could spend the evening alone with me. So, as everyone left, he blindfolded me and led me to the beach. there we had a candlelight dinner under the moonlight and he had somehow managed to let soft music play in the background. After dinner we swayed to the music in eachothers arms and just enjoyed the company.
After this he blindfolded me again and led me back to the house he's staying at, which was conveniently empty. He told me everyone had something to do that evening. What a coincidence...
But anyway.. he led me up the stairs, where agin, slow music was playing. When I took the blindfold of, I was amazed. The whole room was lit up by candles and there were rosepetals on the ground, on the bed, everywhere. It was beautiful. I couldn't believe he went through all this trouble just for me.
We had both waited for this moment for two months then, as we both wanted to wait for the right moment. We wanted it to be special and perfect. Well, it was... I don't think I should go into details, let's just say it was a night I'll never forget. And so were the nights after that...
Okay, I'm starting to daydream now... I better stop before I pick up the phone and wake him up in the middle of the night...
Speaking of the phone.. I hear it ringing right now. I must be losing it, who would be calling here in the middle of the night?
Oh, wait, Miss Johnson is here, the phone did ring.. And it's for me? She looks serious, I wonder what's going on... Well, I better get it, whoever it is, it must be important. I'll write about it tomorrow!
Love, Lisa
