What’s your "Oh my God I can’t believe this is happening" moment?

In kindergarten there was a boy who used to pull my hair all the time and call me cheese puff because I was chubby.

He kept stealing my dolls, my candies and making fun of me everyday. I had to beg my mom not to invite him at my birthday parties because I was afraid he could ruin everything or throw the cake right in my face.

In 2nd grade, he defended me out of nowhere. A girl said “Fix your weight, fatty” (she was actually jealous because she hadn't made the dance team). He quickly said “Kiara can always fix her weight, if she wants to, but the same can't be done to your face”. It was a pretty cool comeback for a little boy and from that moment he became my hero.

As time went by, we became best friends. We went through everything together. Especially high school! We were partners in crime, indeed. We kept pranking each other so bad, but he always had my back no matter what. At the same time, I would have given my life to save him.

During a party, senior year of high school, things got…weird. I was jealous whenever girls approached him. In so many years of friendship I never felt that way. I was the one helping him winning a gal’s heart.

Thing led to another, and before we realize it, we are flirting. That night everything changed. We made love. It was like the most natural thing ever. It was like my body, my mind, my soul were already his.

I couldn't believe, or understand what was happening, I had no control over it. I can't hide that I felt scared too. I was afraid we would ruin our relationship. I didn't want it to be over.

And now, one year later, he’s my soulmate.
