História Short Love Story - Fall

I didn't even give you a context. So, that day I and my cousin went to a friend's house, it was around 4 hours from our house. My cousin and I are neighbors. We (me, my mom and my cousin, wich is kind of my brother) left the house at 6 AM and got there at 10 AM. The sun was rising, the skies were purple and pink, and I could see a few clouds getting yellow. A beautiful view. It was a bad morning, though. I was sad and didn't wanna do anything at all. Don't know why, I just wanted to cry. The trip was normal, I got better and better, but it wasn't enough. We arrived at our friend's house, and spent a really good time with her. She was amazing, she was smart and wasn't superficial at all.  We ate at her house, and then we went walking. Who would've known how that beautiful and peaceful town would forever get such an important meaning to me. It was a wonderderful summer. Well, not that wonderful. I was having some personal problems and was still waiting for the person that was going to restore the faith that I had in finding a love so strong that even death couldn't teat apart.

You already know how I got there. At that caffe. At that exact place. The sun was shining in a melancholic way. It was 3 p.m. I still remember looking at the river that ran near the caffe. I'll never forget having my long, brown hairs always getting in front of my big, also brown eyes.  The caffe was surrounded by trees. The sun, shining. Still up in the sky. A happy day. Nature was setting up a trap. Cupid was ready to attack. Our friend was part of a theatre company, and she was going to meet her boyfriend near the place where the cupid was waiting for me. We were walking slowly, enjoying the view, seeing all the green leaves moving because of the warm wind that came from the west. My friend, Amy, told us that before she met with her boyfriend, she would present her friends (actors) to us. A shiver run through my body. I got nervous, I had already seen some of them in a video. One of them was just gorgeous and I noticed him when watching that video. I said that it was fine, and we went to the caffe. He was laughing. Probably making jokes about some stupid things, his friends were laughing a lot too. Amy smiled at them and started talking to one of them, they were talking about a commercial that they were trying to do, to promote the theatre company. Cupid was adjusting his aim. He stopped. Looked at me, and gradually stopped laughing. I started getting seriously nervous; my legs got of the ground and my whole body disappeared. I started playing with my hair to pretend I wasn't nervous. I and my cousin looked at the skecthbook Amy was holding, I pretended to pay attention to all the little sketches that the group had written in order to make a "big project", as they said it was. A joyful smile was drawn in the cupid's face. I looked at him. Just for a second. I couldn't resist. Dark long hair, dark shiny eyes. Tall, handsome. He gave the ideia that he was "there for you", by his body language. I gave a little glance and I could see his beautiful eyes looking at me. The targets were ready. I looked away, just like he did. Like our eyes were too powerful to each other. I looked at him again. Boom. Mission complete. The cupid was smiling. A strong, powerful feeling was felt by my weak heart. Everything happened in around 18 seconds, but I'll never forget seeing the whol scene in slow motion. His nervous eyes looking at me, like he was looking at a mermaid. And I, staring at him, the most beautiful boy I had ever seen. Guys, I've had a lot of passions. Just that year, I had a romance with a guy that studied in my school, and with a boy that I had been with for two days. But this one, was the one. His hairs were like a prince's hair; his eyes showed his beautiful soul, and his lips called me for an urgent kiss. Meanwhile, when I looked at the sketchbook, I noticed: they were planning a show in the city where I used to spend my holidays on. I couldn't resist and tell Amy that.

- Wow! You two could come to the show! Right guys? - Amy looked at her squad. Another shiver. I was going to fall down. 

- Humm.. Yeah, sure. We'll see that later.

Stupid. Why did I say that? Amy suddenly remembered that her boyfriend was waiting, we had to go. We said goodbye, and I just looked back and smiled, lookinh at the guy once more. 

We met her boyfriend, he's awesome, but they needed their privacy. I and Alan ( my cousin) went walking near the river. The blue water was shining. The skies were high and the sun was smiling at me. The green leaves were already quiet, and so did my soul. I found it. The piece that every mean people I had dealt with took away from me was finally back. He gave it to me. I looked so dumb, clearly in love. Smiling, walking slowly, enjoying every small thing that Nature had to offer me. I had to tell Alan:

- Alan? You know that tall guy, one of the actors?

Alan smiled a little:

- Yess, Marianne?

I felt that weird feeling you have in your throat when you get too enthusiastic about something:

- He was so, so cute.

Alan yelled:

- I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I looke at him and imediatly thought "Marianne's gonna fall for this guy". 

We were really close. He told me everything and I told him everything. Just like brothers. Just like bestfriends. 

- Ok. Alan you're yelling! How did you know... But did you see if he looked at me too?

Alan looked at me:

- Yes. Actually, he did look at you and got serious the moment he saw you. 

I smiled. Alan said he looked at me. You might think it's exaggerated that I get so happy about something that my cousin said, but, my fellas, you do not know Alan. If he, the guy who couldn't find a train ticket that was in his hand, said a guy looked at me, it's because the guy was, in fact, observing me. 

And I knew he did. It's just like that. You can have a passion for someone. That person might not know about your existence. But it takes two to fall in love. And that's what happened. At that caffe. Everyone around was normally living. Maybe a girl was fighting with her friend. An old guy taking his diay coffee. A group of boy friend looking for a group of girl friends to hook up with. Amy was meeting up with her friends. Alan was observing everything around him and enjoying life like he always does. But we weren't. We were falling.
