Is the pain bearable?
Gotta Move On, Kid!
There was it. His first sad note of the day. He fell silent. He closed his eyes, trying his best to suck up his pain. As he closed his eyes, he envisioned Natalie, but somehow Natalie’s face blurred and the beautiful face of one Alexis McQueen wearing the most beautiful smile he had ever seen appeared. That gave Eddie the strength to turn his frown upside down. Eddie was psyched. He was ready to see Alexis and hopefully, hopefully, get on with his life. He sprayed some of his Giorgio Armani cologne and declared confidently, “It’s time!”
He stood next to his prized possession, a huge gift from his grandfather- his silver Lexus. He slowly caressed it as if it was a pet of his, and whispered slowly “this is the first day of the rest of my life,” and immediately got in his car and sped away. Eddie was so excited to meet Alexis that he drove as fast as he could to Alexis’s college, which was by right, a long journey from his apartment. In what should be a 2-hour drive, Eddie managed to arrive there alarmingly in almost less than an hour.
Eddie Michaels found himself parked in the parking lot near Alexis’s campus. He called her and told her that he had arrived. She told him that she would be down in a couple of minutes. After hanging up the phone, Eddie fell silent. All of his anticipation was gone, as his heart started to beat faster. All of his excitement was replaced by trepidation and fear of meeting Alexis. He was so afraid that he wasn’t worthy of Alexis. He was afraid that she was this gorgeous angel and he was nothing. He was just a guy who was just dumped by his girlfriend, while she was the one that dumped her boyfriend. She would probably be way out of his league.
All of a sudden, his fear vanished, as all around him, the environment, the trees, bushes, the sky, people passing by, even his car, everything turned black and white. Eddie felt like he was in a dream or a déjà vu rather, as not only everything was out of color, it also seemed that time stood still as everything seem to move in slow motion. Suddenly, something caught his eye, the only thing in color- it was her; it was Alexis. Like he was when he first laid eyes on her 5 years ago, he was rooted to the ground with his jaw dropped.
Alexis was wearing a simple, but effectively cute pink long-sleeved blouse with a pair tight denim jeans. She was looking so simple yet so gorgeous. Her raven hair, highlighted by some magnificent blonde streaks, made her look fabulous. Eddie’s jaw dropped lower like a ridiculous cartoon character. Her majestic green eyes really do stand out from the bounce of the sun’s magical ray. She was wearing her usual angelic smile that Eddie had come to love, but missed for 3 years. His black and white world was suddenly given a rude lesson in color, and Eddie was delighted.
Eddie was out of breath. He didn’t know what to say or do. He couldn’t even muster up a smile, because he was so shocked with the magnificent sight in front of him. To other people, Eddie might look like an idiot, but Alexis only giggled at the sight of Eddie. Sure, he looked goofy, but he was kind of cute. Without notice, Alexis is toe-to-toe with Eddie. She smiled sweetly at him. After what seem like a great struggle within himself, Eddie finally managed to return the smile. “Hi,” he said pleasantly to her, while scratching the back of his head that was not really itchy.
Alexis knew that Eddie had matured considerably during their chat sessions, and coming from Alexis, it was a huge compliment. Even though he had grown outstandingly in these past years, he still had maintained his boyish charm that made him cute in her eyes. She knew how Eddie was in a fragile position. She knew how his ex-girlfriend made him felt inadequate. “That Natalie girl may not consider Eddie attractive, but that’s maybe because she didn’t see Eddie like I do,” thought Alexis’s little heart. Even though Alexis wanted Eddie mature, she was more attracted to his boyish allure.
They looked into each other’s eyes; Eddie was lost in Alexis’s majestic twins, while Alexis was enjoying Eddie’s brown comfort. Alexis was blushing considerably. They were sharing a special moment together and was enjoying it, before Eddie’s phone suddenly rang…
Who is it?
