Me pareció muy lindo y a pesar de que todavía está en proceso lo quería postear. Probablemente sea algo muy de chick-flick movie pero en una sola semana de Julio escribí 24 hojas oficio rayadas con la historia más linda y con la historia que más tiene de mí que ninguna otra. Se va a hacer costumbre esto de empezar a escribir una historia por la mitad, seguir por el principio y trabarme para escribir el final porque no encuentro manera de seguir la historia que no salga de mis típicos finales de protagonista que se escapa y justo en ese momento aparece el amor de su vida y viven felices? Ustedes juzguen. Lo leí una vez y sentí que estaba ahí como protagonista y a pesar de que la persona que elegí como protagonista no me guste en lo más mínimo...en ese momento encajaba perfectamete a mi ideal de protagonista. Hoy...no me llama en lo más mínimo pero no quiero cambiarlo porque la historia no sería la misma. Nunca cambio lo que escribo, lo posteo y aunque me parezca malísimo no lo borro porque marca un momento especial y eso hay que recordarlo e identificarse con lo que uno sentía en ese momento...no?
“Hello Joseph” “Hello beautiful, but please, call me Joe” “Where are Kevin and Nick?” asked Alex shyly. “Oh…they are not coming. Tonight is just the two of us” “What? No…you’re making fun of me” Joe then came near her. “I’m not making fun at all.” “Ok…this is awkward. I think I’ll just leave now…” Alex then turned around and when she was about to reach for the door, Joe took her hand. “Please, let me go. You deceived me by bringing me here with false statements. I don’t like that so, write it down.” “Alex…you’re making of this a big deal when it’s not.” Alex then took her hand away from his. “I’m sorry Joseph but…hm…this wouldn’t be the first time of this happening to me” Joe then took her both hands and caressed them. “I’m not that kind of guy. Please…just get to know me better. We started with the wrong foot and I want to revert that. Will you join me for dinner then?” Alex looked at him right into the eyes and felt that he was being sincere. She then took his hands and followed him. “Thank you Alex” Alex shyly answered. “It’s ok”
As they had dinner they didn’t say a word. Alex couldn’t look at Joe. She felt very uncomfortable. Joe couldn’t take his eyes off of her and kept smiling at her every time he saw her looking at him for only a second. He was really happy. Then Alex, at one moment couldn’t take it anymore, left her fork and knife on the table, looked at Joe and said: “”Why are you doing this? I mean…it’s not that I think it’s not nice; it’s just that…I…just, why? (She looks down) Do you really care about me?” Joe then caressed her hand and gave her the most sincere smile she’d ever seen. “I do Alex. I care about you a lot. You mean so much to me. Maybe it sounds stupid because we just met but, that’s what I feel now.” Alex then gave him a small smile and took her hand away. “I just asked because…I’ve been hurt before and to be honest, I’m not ready yet to…this liking-someone thing. I’m not comfortable with it, it’s just weird for me right now. To sum up…I don’t believe in love at this moment of my life, please…understand me. I don’t want to make you feel bad about this that I’m saying. It’s been a long time but…Joe, I’m sorry for not being able to express my gratitude to all this you’re doing because actually…it’s beautiful”. Alex looked down again and Joe stood up and kneeled next to her. He framed her face and he saw that she had tearful eyes. He took her hands and caressed them. “You’re here. That’s all that matters to me right now” Alex smiled at him and he smiled back. “I wanna show you something” said Joe as he stood up. Alex followed him to the little stage that was in the middle of the room. He sat down and Alex sat next to him. Joe took his guitar and Alex smiled. When the first notes were played, Alex smiled and just laid her eyes on Joe.
“So?” asked Joe. “You’re the first person that sings a song to me. And…it was beautiful Joe, really. Thanks”. Joe smiled at her. “What is it? Did I say something wrong?” “Dreams can’t take the place of loving you” Alex didn’t understand anything; Joe then stood up and kissed her on the cheek and started walking away. “Is something wrong? Where are you going?” Joe then turned around and walked towards her. “Joe…” He didn’t know how to begin. “Alex…I want to make you a promise”. “Hm…what kind of promise?” Joe then kneeled and came near Alex’s lips. “I promise from the bottom of my heart that I’ll make you change your mind about what you feel towards love. I’ll make you believe in love again Alex if that takes me a lifetime. You have no idea on how much I want to hold you in my arms and tell you how much I love you and how much you mean to me…” Alex was speechless. “Joe, this…we just met a couple of hours ago. What you’re telling me it’s huge and I don’t know what to say right now. I just…you can’t say you love me, it’s not possible to fall in love with someone this much in so little time” Joe then looked at Alex. “The weird thing is that I do love you…with all my heart” Alex stood up and then Joe stood up too. “Joe…I’ve been on this road before. Please, I don’t wanna break your heart…please, undo that promise. I see no future in that, don’t hate me for doing this”. “Alex…don’t be stubborn, open your heart to me” “Joe…I’m not stubborn. Maybe you don’t understand it now but, someday I’ll tell you my whole story. I just need some time and for me this is just too soon and too sudden. Please, don’t say anything else and please…undo that promise, I really don’t wanna disappoint you”. Alex dropped some tears and Joe wiped them away. They just stared at each other and then Joe leaned to kiss her. Alex stepped back, kissed him on the cheek, grabbed her purse and left. “I won’t break this promise”
