We’re in Vegas! We just left the club at 3am, but we have to fly out the next morning. We were walking through the hotel casino when 2 guys approached our group. The guys asked if we wanted to come up to their hotel suite and sober me would say NO! Intoxicated me said okay, lets go have fun. My 5 friends and I follow the guys to their suite. I was speechless because it was amazing with a full sized dining table, kitchen, tons of alcohol and lovely view.
There were other guys in the hotel suite already drinking, so my friends started to drink with them. I only took a shot with them then I stayed in the other room. My eyes were fixed on the view and scrolling through my phone. I stopped drinking because that last shot made it hard to swallow. A tall and cute man walks into the room and asked why I’m not with the other girls. I said, I’m an introvert and shy. He smiles and says he is too. We just did a little small talk but then it got deeper. We ended up talking for 4 hours straight and I fell in love with this stranger. He let his guard down and I learned so much about him. We liked almost all the same things and I would be asking questions first. It felt easy talk to him and I never connected with someone like this. It was time to leave and we have to catch our flight. I know we can never be together because I cannot do long distance. I’m from the Bay Area and he is from LA.
As we were saying our goodbyes, he gave me a big 5 second hug. Then he kissed me on the cheek. I left Vegas thinking about this guy. We never exchanged numbers or social media information. I only got his first name which was Matt.
Fast forward 5 years, Every time I hear “Summer time sadness”, I think of Matt. My confession is that I think I’ll never connect with anyone emotionally like this. He will be my forever soulmate. I messed up and never kept in contact with him. I been on dates and relationships, but we never fully connected like the way Matt and I did. I sometimes wonder what is he up to. Eventually, I’ll find someone.
