Moments With Him - Moment #1

(These moments are all true, and did happen. :] )

- The First Time We Talked After Two Years -

I was sitting at a bench, texting one of my friends, waiting for my mother to pick me up from school. I had been noticing that he was around for a long time...but was too shy to say a word to him, because it had been so long...suddenly, he sat down right next to me. And, taking a leap of faith, I turned to him.
"Oh, my gosh..." I said, and he turned to me. "Johnny (not his real name, just a cover) how are you?"
He blinked at me.
"E-Emily?" he asked. "Wow, I'm good...how are you? How long has it been?"
"A couple years, I think..." I said softly. "I'm alright. What have you been up to?"
"Oh, you know, the usual things..."
We talked for a little while, laughing. He'd changed...gotten so big, tall. When I last talked to him, he was a little boy. Now...he'd turned into a man.
"Well," he said, standing up. "I have to go now...but...it...was nice talking to you, Emily. Now...we need to hug."
He grinned at me, and opened his arms. I gladly walked into them, and he held me tight, lifting me up into the air.
"Let's be friends again, okay?" he asked, eyes bright and sparkling. "I like being able to talk to you again."
Then, he walked away, leaving me in a daze.
And by the blush that was creeping over my cheeks, I knew I was going to fall in love with him.
