THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
In the following days I and Juandissimo didn't date too many times. But I spent a lot of time with Cosmo: strangely, he always came out from nowhere while I was hanging around. And every time he seemed a little nervous.
I really loved him, I mean as a friend. But something was up with him: something strange, a weird feeling in my stomach like… I don't know, butterflies?
Then, one day, I was hanging by myself near the bar. I was just flying towards the park when I spotted Juandissimo sat at a table, alone, in front of a big milkshake. So I approached him.
- Hey Juan!
Juandissimo turned to me, then he jumped: he seemed a little nervous.
- Oh, Wanda! Here you are! – he stood up.
- What are you doing here all alone? – I asked. I also wanted to ask him when would we have dated again, but I strangely realized that I didn't want to date him at the moment.
- I'm just having a milkshake! – he said. He took my waist and trailed me away fast. – What are you doing instead?
- Nothing, I was just going for a little flight around. – I answered suspicious. I stared at him: he looked strange. He seemed to have strange thoughts… I couldn't say what, I only felt like I didn't have to trust him anymore… why? If only I knew why…
- Are you hiding something? – I said. Juandissimo blushed visibly.
- Me??? What kind of person do I look like? – he said nervously.
- Like a person who's just hiding something – I replied. He held me tightly and his face got closer to mine, smiling cleverly as usual.
- You don't have to worry about anything… It's all ok.
I trusted him, one more time. His face was too… handsome? He he…
I stroked his face and kissed him: but the passion wasn't the same anymore… and this was pretty strange, and somehow hurting…
We pulled away from each other.
Juan smiled at me; I smiled weakly back at him, then I flew away.
- See you.
I turned the corner over thought and smacked against someone.
- Whoops, I'm sorry… I was… - but I noticed it was simply Cosmo. I smiled happily at him. – Cosmo!
- Uh, hi! – he said shyly. – I'm sorry… I was just distracted…
I laughed.
- Don't worry! I was distracted too! – I looked at him while he was sleeking his hair nervously and I smiled.
- I'm glad to see you. – I said.
- So am I – he said smiling; then turned sad again. And it wasn't the first time he did that.
- Are you ok Cos?
- Ehm… of course… - he said. But I insisted.
- You can tell me if there's something wrong, I'm your friend… you know it don't you??
- O-of course I know, but… - he said. Then he sighed. – I wish I could have a house for myself… so I wouldn't have to live with my overprotective mom…
- Why don't you buy a new house? – I said.
- I can't, mom's never going to lend me the money for it! And I've been fired, so I can't raise some money for myself anymore!!! – he said whimpering. Then he turned. – Sorry, there's something in my eye…
I approached him and… something pushed me to put an arm around his shoulders.
- Don't worry…
Then I was in act to say a weird thing: "You can come to my place and live there with me". But then I restrained myself and simply said:
- You'll find a way to go through this.
- No… I'm not going… - he said, trying to control himself.
- Of course you are! – I said smiling. I took him by his shoulders and turned him to me; then I smiled at him encouraging.
He looked at me straight into the eyes… and I felt a strange impulse to kiss him. But all I did had been just stroking his cheek, staring in his eyes full of tears.
- I know you can do it.
He didn't say anything; he just kept on staring at me, trying to not burst into tears.
- Don't cry… - I said. A tear slipped down from his eye; I wiped it away. There wasn't something strange in his look: it seemed like it wanted to tell something, some strange repressed feeling, something that was killing him inside. I knew he wanted to yell it out but… I also knew that he couldn't say it.
Then he couldn't restrain himself anymore: he burst into tears on my shoulder. I just hugged him: it was the second time it happened. But I wasn't bothered by that: I just stroked his hair, his green sleek and kinda messy hair, and hugged him, sorry for him and for whatever he had: I somehow knew it wasn't related to his mom or the money.
- I'm sorry, I'm stupid!!! – he said while sobbing. I hugged him tighter.
- No, you're not. You're just a person, you need to cry. – I said closing my eyes and leaning my head on his.
- No, I'm seriously stupid… I'm… I set the bar on fire! I'm not smart! I risked too many time to be rejected in High School because I don't even know what two plus two equals!!! And I'm scared of everything! And I always burst into tears when you're there… - and after said this he cried even more. I didn't know why but I was almost crying with him. I didn't know what was really wrong with him, so I just hugged him even tighter and held my hand on his head.
- You don't have to worry… these are things which go away after a while, you'll see… - I said trying to cheer him up. He suddenly pulled away from me and covered his face with his hand trying to control himself.
- Sorry… I did it again… I'm really sorry… sorry a lot… now I have to go…
And then he flew away. I sat on the ground watching him flying away: what the heck was wrong with him?!?!
Suddenly something pushed me to stand up and flying behind him: he was going to the park really fast. I flew as fast as I could and entered the park behind him. Then I lost him.
I started to look around: I didn't even know what to tell him once I had found him…
I flew all around the whole park searching for him, then I sat behind a tree, disappointed.
I was tired: I had flew really fast and my wings were hurting. While I was resting behind the tree I heard someone coming closer: a boy and a girl. The boy's voice sounded familiar.
- So, Christine, tell me more about you…
- Oh, I'm just doing this job for raising some money for buying a house for myself! And what about you? What's your name? You didn't tell me yet…
- Oh, all that I can say is that I'm from Mexico…
I kept on listening, hoping that what I was thinking was wrong…
- I'm going to study to a local GodParenting academy, I think it would be fun…
No, it couldn't be possible…
- Oh, and my name's Juandissimo Magnifico.
Something broke into me; my eyes filled with tears. I quietly spied from behind the tree: he was there. Juandissimo was there, his hands leaned on a fabulous fairy's waist… and that fairy was just the new waitress.
I didn't want to believe it: he was betraying me… I hoped it was all a bad dream…
The waitress laughed a bit.
- Well, now that I know your name… - she said; then they kissed. I started to feel underground, my world was falling apart: Juandissimo wasn't the love of my life. I thought he would have waited for me… but he was just a playboy. A dull hypocrite playboy. All he wanted was just it, nothing more. And if you weren't going to give him it, no problem! He would have had the supply one!
I didn't stop them: I just flew away crying. I reached the bar quickly and left a note on one of the tables:
"I'm tired of you. I'm dumping you. Don't try to search for me again. You're not going to see me again, you monster. Wanda"
Then I folded it up and wrote on it: "To Christine's new boyfriend" and left it near his milkshake, which he obviously had consumed with his new girlfriend, and then I flew away.
I started to fly without noticing where I was going; then I finally leaned behind a bush and started crying desperately: I couldn't still believe that he had just betrayed me…
And suddenly I felt something splashing on my head: seconds later I was full of whipped cream and chocolate. I raised my glance: Cosmo was there, embarrassed.
- Oh my gosh!!! I'm really sorry!!!! Sorry a lot!!!
He started to clean me frenetically with a serviette, all red in face.
- Sorry a lot, again!!! I was… sorry!! I was just giving you this cake but… I tripped up on something…
I just looked at him still shocked, letting him clean my face; then his eyes met my eyes.
- I'm sorry – he said again. – I just wanted to give you that cake because… you looked so sad and… you have been so comprehensive with me…
I stood up and still covered by cake I hugged him really tightly. I started to cry again.
- Juandissimo betrayed me!!! I saw him dating another one!
I felt his arms holding me.
- Did he?
- Yes, he did!!!! And now I'm feeling totally bad!
He didn't say anything more; but his arms on me were enough to make me feel a little better. I kept on crying.
- Well… - he finally said. – He doesn't know what he lost…
- N-no! It's all my fault!!! – I cried. – He wanted to have sex with me and I just said no!!! Then he forgot about me!
- What a sucker… - he said. I looked him into his eyes again: they were still full of tears.
- He was the luckiest fairy in the FairyWorld and he let go an occasion like that… he's just a jerk. It's not your fault… it's all his. – he said.
We both started whimpering.
- What do you mean by this? – I asked. He breathed heavily.
- I… I wanted to tell you this a lot of time ago but I was scared… that's way I'm always so sad… sorry…
He started crying, but he also tried to control himself. Seeing him crying was making me cry even more.
- A-and what did you want to tell me?
- That… that… - he said, his voice was trembling. – That I… I love you.
And once he finally said that he started cry again. I cried with him too, but none of us stopped from staring to each other's eyes.
And then I realized too: that strange feeling, that I felt from the first time I saw him, it wasn't nothing less than love, simple, true, pure love. I was finally happy now, I felt finally
complete… he stroked my hair… I put a hand on his cheek… he smiled at me… I smiled at him…
And then our faces got closer and we gave each other our first kiss…
And that's how I found the love of my life.
