Rendezvous in Memphis

I got on a plane and departed Colorado and arrived in Memphis, the city of love. Well... at least the city of my love. This was the beginning of four days that my best friend and I had to celebrate our four year relationship. It started off with me standing in baggage claim waiting for my measly one duffel bag while eagerly anticipating the arrival of the love of my life. I waited there a few moments wondering when or if she will ever come. I finally turned back towards the escalator that funnels the rest of my fellow travelers towards the baggage carousel. As I glanced back, I saw if she had funneled out out behind me. I saw this beautiful brunet with a huge smile on her face. I turned back to see if my bag had made the journey with me, but I quickly turned back and took a double take of the smiling brunet and realized she looked very much like Rachel but with a haircut. I looked more closely.... It was Rachel... with shorter hair! I walked toward her a couple, of steps and we met each other and finally embraced for the first time in over a month. We hugged, gazed at each other, and I would be lying if I said we didn't kiss too. It all seemed so new after a month of being away from her! It seems like every time we get to see each other, it's almost like she's a new person. Even though she is the same person, just new qualities added on to the old Rachel. We waited together for a few moments just enjoying each other while we waited for my bag. At that point my bag popped out of the carousel but reality of me being able to touch my best friend hadn't fully set in. It didn't seem real, it was like I was stuck in one of my many daydreams about finally feeling her soft, warm hands in mine. I picked up my bag and as we started to leave the baggage claim into the humid, Memphis chill, Rachel stopped, turned to me and said "welcome to Memphis, hunny" as we passed by a mural of Elvis and BB King. Walking out the automatic doors with her was a very pleasant experience, we just had some simple small talk, held each others hand, and enjoyed each other's company. We got to the car and tossed all my bags into the boot and in turn got into the faithful Honda Accord. By this time it was about 2:40 in the afternoon and I still had not eaten any lunch. We talked the day before about what I would like to eat when I got there, and I decided that I would like to try another BBQ place called Rendezvous. So we headed out to Rendezvous in downtown Memphis. We drove down and parked right by the Mississippi river. The view is so amazing, especially in a place like Memphis when compared to the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado, doesn't hold much outer beauty(in my opinion). We gazed out across the water together and took in the view, it was a beginning I never wanted to end.
