This is what it feels like: love. I am sure. I have always had a little trouble understand the unscientifically concept, but when I look at the man standing next to me in the small shower, I know. That there are things that can’t be explained. That there are forces between people you can’t break.
And I am just so happy that I have met him, that I can feel all these ridiculous things. They make my skin tingle, his eyes. He can look at me and I see his understanding. Even before I know myself what I mean.
He is an angel. Another concept I had so much trouble with. Religion in my opinion is a way to make people subservient, but this man….it’s too good to be true what I feel.
Sometimes a hint of fear freezes my muscles, when I think of losing him somehow. I can think of so many obstacles that tear us apart. When I look at him for assurance, he tames my heart. He has them too, the moments of doubt, of freaking out, but then I am at my strongest, right then I show him that I will never let him go.

We finally freed ourselves from the quilt we were wrapped into and walked to the shower. We needed food or we would die in that small cabin of his grandmother.
It beats me why he is living there, on internet the articles stated that he was a multi millionaire. I didn’t give a fuck if he was poor or rich, but it surprised me, that he was living such a simple life while he was loaded.
He invited me to a walk in the snow before we would drive to the nearest village to do some shopping. Luke told me he could cook a chili almost as good as Henri. I think he was joking, because no one can beat that, but I am looking forward to seeing him making me diner. Or…what was I thinking? I was pretty sure he would order me around to help him. He would make me cut the unions, to tease me.
I mouth-watered when he dried himself and got dressed. It was never enough with him. But Luke was determined. “Come on Reid, I really want to show you how beautiful it is here. The sun is setting, we only have 30 minutes to walk to the cliff. Shall I help you?”.
I shook my head, knowing that if he touched me, I wouldn’t be able to control myself. I had to man up. I wanted him happy. I could climb the mount Everest if he asked me.
He gave me large boots with warm wool on the inside and a wax coat. I felt like a lumberjack immediately. His smile showed me that I looked ridiculous. “You look so damn sexy like this”, he whispered in my ear while he kissed me.
But before I had time to roar, he grabbed my hand and pulled me outside. It was cold out here, much colder than in the city. The wind rushed through the huge, old trees and I shivered. Luke smiled at me again and pulled up my hood. “You need to learn how to live on the country side”, he said softly. “You have to stay warm. I know a few exercises that can help you”.
I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. “Yeah me too”, I whispered, but he shook his head. “We can’t fuck all day Reid”, he said. “I am so sore, you have to give me some time. I want to get to know you, and you need to know me, you have to realize what you have gotten yourself into. I meant chopping wood and hunting for food”.
I recalled the old guns on the wall of the cabin and shivered. “You want me to shoot deer?”, I asked.
His laughter echoed on the trees. “I thought you were fearless”, he said. “You cut open people’s heads and fiddle with their brain. And yet you are afraid to collect your own food? We can have a long discussion about the food industry, you and me. I want to know so much about you Reid. Every thought you have and every dream you cherish”.
I looked at him. “You Googled me”, I stated.
He nodded. Of course”, he said.”I am so curious about who you are, but our need is too strong to talk. And frankly I don’t care what you are, it’s who you are that counts. And you are the most gorgeous man I have ever seen. I feel so much when you touch me”.
His words made me dizzy and warm inside. I looked at his face that seemed golden in the glow of the sinking sun. I pushed him against a tree with my body and kissed him. And I said words I had never said before: “I love you”.

It turned out to be the most wonderful afternoon of my life. The view on the edge of the cliff was breathtaking, and I hardly survived his snowball-attack. When we reached his car, we were both out of breathe. When he opened the door of his truck, he cried. “O my god, thank you secret Santa”. I looked inside to see what he was talking about, and discovered three big bags filled with food. We didn’t have to go to a shop, we could stay here in our little dream world. Our fantastic bubble. My nirvana.
