Surprising Your Long Distance Boyfriend

Transcript

Hey. What's up? Uh-huh.

Okay. Nothing much, really. Just got off of work, so I'm on my way back home now.

Okay. Um, is there a reason you called? Yeah, right, like you just want to call for no reason.

No, no, you can call anytime. You usually don't, though, unless, you know, you were going to ask me something. Yeah? What is it? You want me to what? Wait outside? Outside the what? My building? You want me to wait outside the building? Okay, kind of weird.

So you want me to stay outside of the building? Oh, God. Did you get something delivered? Yes, you are the type two.

Yes. Why are you whispering? I swear, if you.

.. Okay, okay. I'll wait outside.

Yes. Seriously, though, what do you want me to wait outside for? Wait outside for? Hello? You're.

.. Wait, wait, wait, wait. What? Wait, how did you.

.. You were calling. ..

Wait, what? Were you. ..

Did you just. .. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Too tight? Too tight? When? When did you get here? It's you.

It's you. I'm actually hyperventilating. How did you.

.. When did you get here? Just today? You were the surprise? You were who I was supposed to wait outside for? You're so stupid.

Is that you? It's you. It's you.

It's you. It's you. It's you.

I'm sorry. My heart is just dying to get outside of my chest right now, to jump outside my chest. Pumpkin, is that you? Pinch my cheek right now, if it's really you.

Ow, ow, ow, okay, okay, okay, okay. It's you. It's you.

It's you. Can I pinch your cheek? See if it's really you.

Okay. It's really you. It's really you.

I love you. I love you. I love you.

I love you. I love you. I love you.

I love you. I hate you and I love you so much. May I? God.

You know what I mean. You know what I'm trying to say? You're such a tease.

Fine. May I? May I kiss you? Oh, okay, okay.

Your nose, your nose, your nose. Okay, I guess I'll go like this and we can go like that. Let's, yeah, let's try that again.

Okay. May I kiss you? 824.

I'm checking the time. I'm memorizing this. 824.

824 p.m. Our first kiss. 824, 824, 824.

Sorry, I mean, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna forget this for anything, ever. And I'm, I'm really, really sorry if I, if I got carried away there. God, that is addicting.

I can see why people do it a lot now. It's very good. 824, 824.

Should we, should we go up now? Okay. Let's go.

Creative. That was really, no, no, I, I was just gonna say it was, it was really good. Do you want a drink? Um, I have water and water.

Sure, water it is. Come on. Come on.

Here. Sit. You didn't have a lot of stuff to bring with you? Is, is that it? Just in your backpack? Okay.

Um, right. Water's really good, huh? I'm sorry.

None of this has sunken in yet. I, I'm having a really difficult time just thinking that this is real. And I'm having difficulty breathing, too.

So I have no idea what's going on, but I just know that I'm really, really happy. But, oh my gosh, what is going on? I'm, I'm having a hard time finding the words to say.

And I, I really want to be smooth right now, like how I usually am on call. I threw the phone, but it, it, challenge impossible, I guess, because I can't do it. Thank you for coming here all this way.

It must not have been an easy trip to plan or to pay for. But, um, how long will you, will you be staying here? That long? Okay.

Yeah, that's long enough, but if you want to stay forever, I mean, no one's stopping you. I know. I wish you could stay forever, too, pumpkin.

Soon, soon enough. We'll save up, we'll, we'll try our best, and we will, we will find a really nice apartment. You can design it and I can design it, pick and choose wherever we want, and we'll live happily ever after.

You know what's crazy? Just the other day, I was, we were sitting on call. I think you were studying, I was studying for, for something, and I was just looking on the, on the right side of my screen, right, where, where you're, where the pop-up is for, for your face.

And I brought it to the middle of the, of my screen, because I wanted to take a little bit of a, little bit of a break. And I was thinking about a lot. I was thinking about a lot at that time.

It was, it must have been like 2.30, and I don't know, I, I started overthinking about a, a lot of things. And, you know, all these stupid thoughts that, that keep coming again and again, they, they kept resurfacing. And I, I tried to do the thing that you taught me, you know, whenever I'm overthinking, I just have to think about one thing that, you know, one reason why I'm doing what it is I'm doing.

And then I describe that reason, and I, I, I go through that reason, and I, I try to imagine myself, you know, being in the place where I want to be when this is all said and done. You know, I did all of that, but, um, it, nothing was, nothing was working. And I, I, I was really scared, um, for a while.

But you were busy too, and I'm, and I'm sure you were tired. We both were. So I didn't want to, I, I, I didn't want to say anything.

I'm sure you caught on a little, but I, I, I didn't want to keep asking for help, and I didn't want to, I don't know, I guess keep annoying you from time to time. Um, but the, the crazy part of this story is when things in my head were getting really, really, really bad, for some reason, when I pulled your, when I pulled your screen up to the middle of my, I mean, when I pulled your window up to the middle of my, my screen, I, I felt there was like a wash of calmness throughout my body. And, you know, it's happened before, whenever we're on call and whenever we're not, when I, when I just look at you, I guess, but, you know, that, that specific moment was different.

That specific part that just, I don't know, there was something about it that I couldn't shake, and it was as if you were right there with me, if that makes sense. Like, you were actually holding me, and you were actually talking to me and, and guiding me through whatever it is I was going through, and I know it sounds stupid, kind of, but that's genuinely how I was feeling. And I thought to myself, right then and there, I thought to myself how, how insane it would be if, if we could sleep at night and I could wake up in your arms, or you could wake up in mine, and I'd wake up to you in my arms, and vice versa.

And I, I don't know, even, even just the thought of it got me feeling all sorts of things, so I couldn't even begin to imagine what it would, what it would be, be like to just be together. I'm usually good with words, this is, this is unreal, but I, okay, first of all, never in a million years would I have imagined that you would do something like this, maybe for my birthday or something, but never just in the wild like this. But I'm really, really, really freaking happy, I really am.

And I don't know why it took us this long to, to do this, you know? Why did it take me this long to, to get to you, and why did it take you this long to get to me, and I, I feel like we could have just done this way sooner. I know, I know hindsight is 20-20 and all that stuff, and you know, at least it happened.

I'm just so happy, just so happy. And I, I really wish that I could understand what you were feeling, and you could understand what I was feeling, because there are so many things going on, and I, I can't even begin to wrap my head around the idea that for the next month, I'm going to wake up in your arms. And you're going to wake up to mine, and we can have all these calls, I'm sorry, all these just random chats in the middle of the night, and I could wake up to, to you breathing, and to you doing all these things, and we can cook together, and we can go grocery shopping together, and you know, it doesn't have to be in another, what am I saying?

It doesn't have to be in another life. It, it can be right here, right now, where I can, I can hold you, and I can, I can touch you, and I can do all these things to you. All the things, so we, when we talk the big talk about doing all these things, and not even knowing how any, any of it is going to turn out, we can finally figure it out.

We can finally figure it out. And, and I know it's going to be kind of weird for me, and maybe it'll be a little weird for you. We have to, you know, go through the grou.
