DAY 183: My first night in Melbourne

Ben thought he would have seen me dressed in red.

I was dressed in red the second night that I was in Barcelona, but I don't think this was the main reason why he thought I would have been in red. Probably he saw many pictures of me on facebook with red clothes, or maybe just because red is the colour of passion, and I always act as a thunder of energy.

Actually I like that colour! So he wasn't totally wrong.

However I wasn't wearing red that night, I had a grey fleece jumper and I wasn't as cute as I hoped after 22 hours of flight... I was a mix of “Matteo and Garbage”!

I was really really excited, I couldn't wait to see him again after our three nights together in Barcelona. It was a risk, it was a long jump, but there were too many coincidences... I deeply knew it that Ben was a good boy, I always trust my sensations and hopefully I was right.

Ben was scared about the possibility that I wouldn't like him... I had the same feeling some days before, but there were too many things that we both had in common to not give a chance and a sequel to the unforgettable Barcelona's nights.

At the airport Ben was waiting with his friends Rob and Glen. During the way back home It was amazing the scenery of the city in the night with all the skyscraper lighted, I had never been I an a metropolis like Melbourne, it was like a movie for me!

We went to Glen's to drink some wine and have a nice talk then straight to Ben's house. 

One of the first thing that I saw in there was the photo of me and Ben on the fridge... it was so cute, it was a picture of us from Barcelona. Soon After I had a shower to clean my “Bin flavour” and then I went in our room and I kissed him, I waited that moment so long!

It was from 2 hours that we wanted to do that, I can still remember a worried Ben while we were drinking at Glen, he was probably thinking “will he kiss me or won't he?” using an imaginary daisy in his fantasies.

If I had telepathic abilities I would have transferred in Ben's mind a little bit of relax “you of course!”.

We were both embarrassed but just one kiss helped to thaw out and re-start from the point where we stopped in Spain 6 months before.

DAY 1: Suddenly him

If love would be an image, now, after all that I went through, I think I saw it.

I was dancing, I turned my head and there was him.

He seemed taller and musclier than me, I felt like he appeared from nothing, sent by a miracle, during the hot Barcelona's summer, when “Toca's miracle” song (by Fragma) was one of the main discos anthem.

We spoke little time, like... 30 seconds ahah (People can easily make jokes about this and explain the short conversation with my bad English abilites) and then we kissed.

I hugged him gently and kissed his lips while in the background there was the song “I gotta feeling” by Black eyed peas. That song would have become “our” song.

I didn't even want to go to Barcelona because I wasn't in a good mood, luckily my friend Yuri convinced me very well and we had the biggest short holiday I ever had in my whole life, I've never experienced something like that since a long time, from 2004 to be precise.

Ben is Australian, he was in Barcelona for holidays as well, but for him it was just a little part of his trip all over the world.

It was an unexpected thunder in my life, somebody would call it “love at first sight”.

Destiny sometimes can be surprising, because after that night our story wasn't finished, it was just the begin.
