As I headed out for my first day at work, nothing was all I thought. It was like I hadn’t cared that he was drinking anymore….maybe I didn’t. I thought of my friend most of the day. I missed her, of course I did, she was my best friend. As we shot scenes and ran through lines and spells, I worked hard to get everything perfect. As soon as the day was over, I huddled outside to grab my phone and speak with her as soon as possible. “Hello?? Yeah! It’s Collete, what are you up to? Really?! That’s awesome! Yeah, sure! What’s the address? Okay! Alright. You too, bye!” She had gotten a role in a movie…did we all have the same dream? Oh, and she had gotten Hollywood Records to publish her first ever cd! I was so proud! It sounded amazing, yes I had bought it, and the lyrics were incredible. I couldn’t wait to go see her on her day off! She said she had met someone…wow. The next day, I was walking through the park minding my own business, then he happened. Brian ran into me! My too loud i-pod drowned his wonderful voice, I took them off to hear a heartbroken noise through his mouth. Words, words that poured out the pain in his voice, that crashed into me, that made me want to help. “Oh, I’m sorry.” His face was weary and distant, his eyes were red, and his cheeks stained with a waterfall of tears. “Brian?” His neck snapped toward me. “Collete?” “Brian, you look horrible, let’s go get you cleaned up.” “Where?” “My place of course!” As I lead him to my bike, I ran while he rode. It felt right to have him by my side. Of course, headlines appeared about Brian and his ex-girl-loser's movie, but today it didn’t hurt me. Today it made me more determined. I could do anything. As we slithered into my house, I motioned him to the bed, I dug up a washrag and smoothed it across his face, my thumb lining his perfect jaw. “Collete, I never noticed how amazing your eyes were.” “Their just as amazing as yours.” I replied, why was I such an idiot? “Uh, yeah, I guess.” He was nervous, I could tell. “Brian, don’t be nervous around me, I don’t want to make you like that.” “I’m not, I’m nervous because I wanted to ask you something.” “What?”
“Would you go out with me?” “Uh, well, …aren’t you going out with someone?” “No, she broke up with me after she saw the way I was with you…and I realized I wanted you all along, I just hadn’t known it…” “Uh, I don’t know what to say.” How could I say no to that perfection laying on my bed? “Please, CiCi?” “Yes, yes, a million times yes!” I yelped. My voice came back, go figure. “Oh, Collete!” He ran up and..picked me up, he was so strong! As, he spun around in joy, it was like my whole world had done a 180, my wishes had been answered, he was mine. We spent days together, talking, laughing, running, when our eyes met we entered a different world. He and I were one. Then, one day, we entered the park, he was unusually happy that day… he had something planned, I could feel it. “Collete, let’s take a different way, today.” “Uhm, okay!” I still melted at the sound of his voice. We ran and traveled into the deep woods, twisting and turning, we emerged into a small cave. It was filled with butterflies, and a beautiful lake. The eroma was a soft scent of lavender, my favorite. I loved how he knew me so well. “Do you like it?” “Yes, very much, thank you! It’s amazing!” I wrapped my arms around him and he picked me up, I loved how he did that with such gentleness, but yet he was so strong! Then, the unexpected happened. His lips met mine, the touch of his lips, the tingle of his breath, it was amazing. The touch of him made my skin tingle with delight. As I intertwined my arms around his neck, he let go. “Was that too soon?” “Not soon enough.” I chuckled. “Good, I love you, Collete .” “I love you, Brian.” True Love. It, makes you fall weak at the knees. You get butterflies whenever you see him. You always want to be with him. True love. That’s what I had, true love.
