For all those avid romance novels readers...you will know all about the mythical male character of Wuthering Heights, surrounded by fog and many many scary moores, Cathy calls frantically, "Heathcliffe! Heathcliffe!" Even when she is dead, she still does it. THIS IS ROMANCE.
As my very own Heathcliffe has just left for university in Liverpool, I figured it was about time I wrote a blog entry all about him. You see, the funny thing is, I am REALLY sad about him going away because he is my perfect man...but I am also happy that throughout the time I knew him he never once disappointed me, a lot more than I can say for any other boy I have encountered.
How I met him: While I endlessly beeped through groceries of ungrateful customers, I triumphed on the weeks I was placed on a till directly opposite the freezer aisles. There I would see Heathcliffe, wearing his special freezer gloves which acquired him his Heathcliffe nickname as they are VERY wuthering heights gentlemanly. Ever smile we would share was amazing, ever time his hand would brush mine as we passed on aisles.... those were the early days...then things started to progress...
I would see him in the staffroom, withstanding the peerpressure of the other immature boys, acting outstanding and quietly composed, I smiled at him with awe and surprise...as you would! The first time I ran into him as we passed through doors, I gazed into his eyes and my heart flipped in the air...those perfect ocean blue eyes were so deep and soulful
Then...he started talking to me...just making comments like asking me the time or saying hello...I was SHOCKED!
Then, one fateful evening, he was placed on a till next to me and we got to know each other well. I found out that he enjoyed phantom of the opera and playing classical guitar, that he wanted to be a pharmacist and that he owned two horses...further adding to the Heathcliffe image <3
Then, as we would play and laugh and generally have good fun...Tesco suddenly became a less scary and lonely place...nobody else would except me for who I am
. The night he taught me to play pool: hahahahaha, he couldn't believe how crap I actually was! I seriously couldn't even hold the stick thingy at all! He also ate my chocolate cake that night...just came dancing into the room to the sound of "Hey Ya" by Outkast, made me smile as I binge ate chocolate cake feeling like lowest of the low and he made me LAUGH...in Tesco!!! That just didn't happen!!
Then, lo and behold, last night was his last night working in Tescos....now, this is our ultimate Cathy and Heathcliffe moment...y'all ready for this?? So, as I had earlier found out, he had just broken up with his girlfriend (a mutual decision as their unis were far apart- even his breakups are admirable
)
He came to my till just as he was leaving and said, "You didn't think I'd leave without saying goodbye, did you??" All I could really say was "mgghghwhawaf" bear in mind that there were customers waiting to be served at my till, watching the whole scene. I hugged him for ages (good big strong man hugs..he didn't disappoint my hugging expectations =]) then I said in the strongest voice I could manage, "If you're ever back this side of the world, look me up!" and he smiled and said, "Look after yourself. Good luck in the future!" BUT then he said "Can I have your mobile number?" Obligingly I wrote it on a receipt despite some pen glitches. Then he hugged me again and with one last shared look, he was gone...
and I was alone...
without my Heathcliffe!
God, I need a hobby!

"May angels lead you in" Heathcliffe, you will always be my perfect man!
