I was not looking for another relationship after spending two years with an abusive ex partner.
A year had past since I left my abusive relationship in Canada and I decided to move to Argentina. I am originally from Sydney, Australia. Even though I was a stronger and more confident person, it was not an easy move due to the language barrier and the chaos that comes with living in Buenos Aires. I had also lost my grandmother to cancer in September 2008. She was my rock and the one who truly was there for me throughout my life and now she was gone.
I found myself a nice looking apartment, well so I thought it was a nice apartment. At the time, I did not know that I would be sharing with a Bolivian male prostitute but I made the best of the situation.
I found myself a job and I started my new life in Buenos Aires. I met a few people online and went on a few dates but nothing serious. One day I got a friends request at my facebook account. I clicked on the profile and I thought this person seems decent enough. Therefore, I added them as a friend. We did not speak to each other for a few weeks until JC emailed me and said that they were moving to Buenos Aires. I replied back saying that I would be happy to help JC out with his move Argentina.
I noticed as we got to know each other online, JC was a little more interested in me then I was in him. It was not because he wasn't attractive or a nice guy, it was because I was scared to be attached again. I managed to find him a place to live through a friend of mine. JC was very grateful for me doing that for him.
Our bond started to get stronger and I offered to meet JC at the airport. His flight was arriving at 430am and anyone who knows Eziza Airport in Buenos Aires would avoid going there at this time at all cost. I arrived at Eziza Airport around 230am and walked around trying to make use of the time. 430am had arrived and so did JC flight from the Carribean.
As I nervously waited for JC to come through the arrivals hall, I had noticed that all the passengers from his flight had exited the door but not JC. An hour later, JC walked out and said that his luggage had been lost. Off we went to find it. We got his luggage and went back to my place.
It was 630am, I was very tired and we both took the bus back into Buenos Aires. The bus trip into town takes about 2 hours. JC and I used this time to get to know each other. I later asked JC what his first impressions of me were and he said that he didn't think I was as cute as my pictures but his opinion change of me when I offered him a black scarf to keep him warm from the cold.
As the days and weeks went on our love for each other grew more intense. He gave me a red candy love heart lollypop as a way to tell me that he was in love with me but I pushed him away. Each time he got closer, I pushed even more until I gave in to my feelings. I had once again fallen in love when I least expected.
JC and I spent most of our time together until I lost my job. I was broke, the situation at my apartment was at breaking point and to top it off my maid stole $1600 from my room. I had no choice but to return to Australia.
I got ready to get to my flight to Australia, packed my luggage and left my crazy apartment. While waiting for the taxi I had changed my mind about leaving and I stayed to be with JC. Many tears were shed leading up to this moment. I just couldn't leave JC behind. I was too much in with him.
I had very little cash and no place to live. JC and I got to spend another two weeks together until I finally had the guts to leave Buenos Aires. I was offered a job in China and I had to return to Australia to save some money. This meant leaving JC behind.
I have been back in Sydney for a week and JC and I keep in touch a few times a day using skype, email, telephone, text messaging, facebook and now this blog. The hardest thing about being away from JC is not being able to touch, smell his scent and cuddle him with dear life.
Come January 2010 we will meet in China but after a month we will have to say goodbye all over again until we meet in December 2010. I love JC with all my heart and I will do what it takes to make this relationship work. I believe that JC will do the same.
JC i want to to know that: A part of you has grown in me. And so you see, it's you and me together forever and never apart, maybe in distance, but never in heart.
I miss you and love you.
