She looked at me with such assurance. I loved the look she gave me it was something that i could never forget. She looked as if there was no one more important to her than I. You see I had just met her one day at the beach after a long day of drinks I had been completely waisted. Tumbling from side to side falling onto the soft sand impacting my fall like foam. To this day I think the best place to fall is on the beach, the soft white sand and the sight of the ocean before you fall. Step by step I continue to stumble. The drunk was lifting, I started to regain some brain power. I couldn't walk In a straight line but I could talk perfectly fine. Before it lifted any more i stumbled in front of a girl. The traditional conversation starts with a hi, hello. Our conversation started with a god I'm sorry. I exclaimed after falling and sending sand all over her. I apologized like a mad man. Setting down her book she asked if I was okay. My drunk had continued to lift but I could still barely control my body movements just my words. My head pounded a deep rhythm, I told her I would go but she asked me to stay. She had gotten out of her chair and put water in my mouth even though I said I wasn't thirsty. She said it helps a lot she was beautiful but I found it odd that she was laying completely clothed on the beach a long black dress. Her voice was nourishing like a brand new violin it brought my attention closer to this stranger. Her eyebrows a perfect shape, her cheeks chubby like a baby's, her teeth white as can be After water she returned back to her seat I moved closer, I of course asked for her name she told me her name was Asmae. What a beautiful name I thought, she was Egyptian the first Egyptian I had ever encountered in my life because of that I found her exotic. She lived in Cairo Egypt but also had a house in Miami where she attended the University of Miami she told me she was 19 if she wouldn't have told me I would've gussed she was older. She looked as if she could be in her twenties. Talking to her for only minutes I could tell she was far more mature than I. Suddenly fear appeared in her eyes. I immediately ask what's wrong she told me her parents were on their way here. I begin to panic, I'm no good with parents especially a girls parents who I'd just met. She tells me to calm down, shake her hand and walk away. She said only fate will tell referring to if I'd ever see her again. Though I was still moving very clumsily I did as she said and walked away quickly not looking back. I had grown attached in a matter of minutes but I was on vacation and I thought there were other fish to find. I didn't look back, days passed I assumed it was over for Asmae and I, So I went on with my vacation. My cousin and I had been walking our "perimeter" aka our area to walk around and search for girls. The night was full of foreigners most didnt even know english, overall the night was dead. So we decided to sit down and listen to the live band. a glimmer of light shinned on something that caught my eye. I looked up and there she was Asmae in front of us wearing another long dress which seemed to glitter in the moonlight. I quickly nudge my cousin to inform him who was in front of us. She had turned around multiple times but I was trying to make it seem like I hadn't noticed her presence but not planning I looked up coincidently. She looked back as I looked at her, our eyes locked. I awkwardly waved hi with an obvious embarrassed expression. She waved back picked up her small purse carried it over to the open seat next to me, talked about how excited she was to see me and that it was her last day at the resort. Her family went on an excursion. She had chose to stay behind because she thought was she was to get old. My her looks were breathtaking, that night her face was so natural no make up and she still looked mesmerizing she was the perfect shade of tan too. The night went on we continued to immerse our selfs within the rhythm of the music playing. Hearing each live strum of the guitar, each thump of the drums. Enjoying our selfs I look up she was again staring at me with the look that there had been no one else with us and that in her head it was just us two. The look made me feel wanted as if there was nothing she'd rather be doing then to be with me. I finally bring up the courage to ask her if she'd like to accompany me to the show tonight. She answered with a quick yes her soft like silk. Her voice made my skin crawl in a good way. I had never encountered such a what seemed to be a perfect person in my life. Moments later we make the transition from the middle of the resort to the huge theatre which was a surprise to me the resort was already huge. The theater was not to big only being able to carry 150-200 people it seemed guessing from the amount of chairs. My cousin and i went on weaving through the crowd i was afraid that i would have lost Asmae but when i turned to look for her she had been right behind me holding my hand. I was to nervous to even realize she had been holding the my hand the whole timeline. Surprisingly her hand was not the average girl hand while not to big like my hand but not so small like the usual girls hands I'm familiar to. Finally we find a seat in the middle of the theater. The theme of the show tonight was magic. Though i told her i was 19 falsifying my age when the act came on i acted like an 11 year old seeing these tricks for the first time. She laughed at how interested I was I never really saw a real magic show where swords are stuck through boxes, and where people "disappeared". She was still holding my hand. Grasping tighter as i would pull a little farther. It was comforting like she had known me for years, that she needed me. I loved the feeling of her holding my hand hugging my arm it was mysterious i had just met her. I was in love with a stranger. The show ended she was hesitant to go back to her room. It was her last day I thought so why not ask if she wanted to go to the beach and hangout on the cabanas. At the resort they had these amazing 2 story cabanas right on the beautiful beach. The cabanas had a ground floor bed with stairs leading to the upper part which had an open top with a bed. It was beautiful at night. At times my cousin and I would hangout there at night taking in the sights the moon reflecting upon the clear blue water, the sound of the waves crashing and the fact that there was utter silence. Truly the definition of a peaceful environment. My cousin was still with us which i found annoying because i obviously had feelings for this girl and it was obvious she felt the same. Both of us wanted privacy but he gave us no privacy im not sure why to this day he didnt leave. We all 3 went to the top of the cabana my cousin awkwardly standing in the front by the ledge. While I sat next to asmae on the bed. After about an hour of awkward silence had past cj told us he was going to the bathroom but we both knew he woudnt come back. The night was still young she laid onto the bed and laid me down with her. The moment was beautiful. We were laying down staring at the stars on the beach I had my phone play romantic music enhancing the mood making the night even more memorable. I had fallen within a love that couldn't be. I think she realized it too. She kissed me, for a brief second her face lit with happiness but then she turned and started crying. She knew the love could not be. That we were falling into something that couldn't escalate into anything. She apologized she said she was ruining the moment. I grasp her tighter. I asked her to tell me about herself. She told me her life story. She told me she had always been different than others for example when she was in middle school all the kids were drinking, sneaking out, going to parties, loosing their virginity and always getting in trouble. Now a junior in college she still had her virginity, still hadn't gone to a party and still haven't gotten in trouble. Which pulled me into her even more. Her soul was clean. She told me lots, she told me how her family wasn't to close that her father and mother had already set divorce date and that they were just waiting to send the youngest to college. She was the oldest of 4 she had twin sister nora and sarah, and a little brother which quite frankly I didn't really care what his name was. Her father was a proffessor at umiami where becuase he is a proffesor she goes to school for free. Asmae was a saint she was hilarious she told me the only time she'd done anything really bad was when she stole a jacket from Macy's. She felt so bad that she donated it to charity the next day. Compared to me never gotten in real trouble. Not even a detention but the odd thing was on occasion she said she smoked weed. Which I thought was weird she talked with such intelligence. Using huge words that honestly I didn't understand. In arabic her name meant names pretty cool i thought. She was the newspaper writer for Umiami. She was double majoring. Journalism and biology. She was really into reading actually she made me promise that Id read a book. The discovery of witches by Deborah Harkness. She thought I would like because I told her that the only books I had ever read was the twilight series which I enjoyed. After she poured her heart and soul out to me I did the same. I told her my life story born in NY, moved to italy, then to CT. I told her how my dad is in the navy, and how none intelligent I am. I fell far from the tree. My whole family had graduated from multiple colleges and majored inultiple studies. I struggled in class and stil struggle now im not to smart nor to special. By the age is 12 i had stolen hundreds dollars worth of merchandise and had been caught and been banned multiple places. I know that's not the type of thing to bring up on a first date but I couldn't stop myself my heart told her what it wanted to tell her. I told her my girlfriend of 2 years had just broke up with me. Which hurt myself to say, the conversation went silent. Keep in mind we were still laying down face to face on the bed extremely close, the the conversation went silent. She told me about her love life, though I would've rather not wanted to know she told me anyways. You see im a very jelous guy. She told me how they broke up but they still talk the situation that everyone in their life has been in at least once. His name was yuseff he also Arabic, and attended umiami also.. as a couple they reminded me of myself and my ex in every way. The reason why we broke up was that i stopped trying and for months my ex carried the relationship. Asmae was in the same situation. A sad looked appeared on her face. She kept telling me how i wish you lived in miami.. i wished you went to Um.. your perfect for me.. which killed me knowing that what we had was based off a lie I told her I was 19, a junior in college, and the worst that i attended the NYU on a medical scholarship. It hurt to know that if i told her the truth now she would hate me forever and leave. Which is why I couldn't tell her I was emotionally hooked to a girl i had met just days before but I felt like I had known her for years. Out of the blue I kissed her. She kissed back but pulled away fast. Her lips left mine wanting more. She was shaking I held her closer. She wrapped around me even tighter, it was very windy up there which made it cold. Her skin starting to get good bumps. I felt the night coming to an end. I woke up not realizing that we fell asleep. I woke up before her. I looked at her admiring her beauty. she was the most beautiful i had known. I just met the most perfect being on this planet and i was already loosing her. To reality. A tear developed in my eye. I couldnt move i didnt want to disturb her slumber. To be honest i couldnt really move even tho she was asleep she was still holding me extremely tight. The tear fell right on her cheek, she woke up instantly connected her eyes to mine and in a light sleepy voice she asked me what i was thinking. I told her i didnt want her to leave that she was perfect. She told me what she told me the first day only fate will tell. What a typical line i thought especially for 2 people that met by utter luck. That line killed me beause I knew the chance was 1 in a million, she knew it too. She recognized that if she would have told me anything else that i would've broken down. I think she saw that i was still immature. That I just couldn't handle some things that could have been said. Obviously i acted much more mature when i was with her then i usually am but still I acted like a child falling in love for the first time. The night was quiet, I told her that Id never forget this perfect date. A nice listening to live music in the lobby, an amazing magic show and to finish it off a night at the beach laying on a bed looking at the stars listening to waves crash. I wouldn't have traded it for anything in the world. She sat up, I stared at her the moon light outlining her body like an angel. After hours of talking she said the words that I wished she never said I'm going to head back to my room. She sees me staring she said I looked at her with such care. She smiled she looks up at the moon sorta just gazing at. She starting talking again she said that she'd like to think that the moon is feminine while elegant and beautiful she is dark and mysterious. She stands moves to the ledge. I do the same next to eachother I placed my hand on the railing. She puts her hand on mine now we were looking at the open ocean moonlight glittering off of it.. I stood there and listened to the waves crash. She told me I wish the best of luck to you, your the most interesting and amazing person I've met in my lifetime. May your heart find a home and your mind find peace. I saw a tear fall she was crying. Her words still ring in my head the sea is beautiful don't you think? I'd like to imagine it like the world, never ending possibilities. She takes my face in her hands. Her were cold it it made me shiver. She started talking again Whenever you feel down or sad remember this night be happy it happened. Tears fall but this time not hers but mine. She lifts her hand and slowly goes down the stairs. The walk back to her room was silent. We get to her room. I say my goodbyes it started to rain we were both starting to get soaked. I shake her hand try to leave but she held my hand tight as I pulled away. She was crying she says were you really going to leave without taking my number? Which killed me I told her what's the use the possibility of us seeing each other again is almost zero. My legs give out, I'm on my knees my head to her stomach. She stood there for a little. Rubbing my head while the huge rain drops pelt the grown drenching us in water. She pulls me up to her reaches in my pocket takes out my phone and puts her number in. Good thing I had my waterproof case on or my phone would have been soaked she puts my phone back. She slowly goes for a kiss but stops right in front of my lips she called it a "floaty kiss" the moment before a kiss that's just as romantic. She closes her eyes moves from my lips and kisses my cheek then leaves to her room. I Stand there for a couple minutes I had been within and without.. I walked to the nearest building, check my phone and there it was Asmae'
