7. Love at first sight
ОглавлениеOn my nineteenth birthday in a lovely warm may evening I and my friends with their soul mates went to a night club. By that time, I had various girls (persons of the opposite sex), but I failed to create any long-term serious relationship, so I was alone, without a companion.
Entering the club, we settled at the table and ordered drinks and snacks. The club was more like a bar type, was in the basement, but within was the very pleasant atmosphere: beautiful, luxury furniture, everything is arranged according to the latest and most modern standards and with luxury taste.
A little after sitting and drinking a few glasses of champagne, some guests went to dance, someone was at the table, I went alone to look around. Making a circle around the place, I set eyes on one charming lady among the smiling, dancing visitors.
I clapped my eyes on a delightful girl I have ever seen in my, at the time, little past life. Her joyful smiling eyes, the color of emerald, attracted like a magnet, I could not resist their power and to draw attention away from it. She was perfect: eyes, delicate features, neat, slightly sharp nose, proportionate, pretty lips, which I wanted to kiss. Her brown hair gently fell on the lovely bare shoulders, slim figure accented by a light, bright, tight dress, legs adorned with summer shoes, and in her hands she held a small elegant handbag, so-called clutch.
My body was instantly paralyzed, in my head flashed a thousand thoughts, about nothing; I couldn’t concentrate, to move, to say a word in her address. She turned off the health of my brain. I just stood and couldn’t help myself. Thank God that she was much braver than me; otherwise we might never have met. She took a step toward me and said the word, which I could not say because of great difficulty, it was almost impossible. She said
“Hey!”
“Hello…” I gasped and I was even more embarrassed because I heard her gentle, sweet voice, and felt like small and defenseless child.
“For long are you going to look at me, not daring to come up? Or gazed after me?!” She said, as if reproaching me, but with irony.
“I, I…” I said, stammering with confusion, but then came and respectfully said: “My name is Harry, I just headed in your direction, but you were in advance.”
“My name is Helen! Nice to meet you Harry!” She said, smiling, and continued in a less official form: “And it is very good that you decided to come, because I and my friends were about to leave home. We could not see at all!”
“Yeah, would have turned out bad…”
“When will we meet again? Tomorrow after fifteen o’clock I am absolutely free, we could meet in a park in the center of the city at half past three, this time is right for you? Deal!” she said quickly, deciding for the both of us.
“Yes!” finding myself in an awkward situation, I agreed, not being able to insert even a word. I felt completely helpless like baby, whose candy was taken away by the bullies.
“Well, that is about it, see you tomorrow!”
“Good – bye!” I said, and she went toward the exit, where her friends were waiting for her. I remained stock-still, following her with my eyes, until she was left the field of my vision.
After she crossed the doorstep of the exit, I went to my friends, still in a light state of shock and euphoria of her determination, straight forwardness, charisma and physical description.
I became infinitely pleased that such a beautiful, wonderful girl came up to me. I was in seventh heaven, and a smile didn’t get out of my face. Truly the best gift was brought for me on that wonderful evening. Sitting back at the table, I could not think about anything and did not notice anyone else. As if time had stopped, my thoughts focused solely on her magic person and at the upcoming meeting.
Coming home, I couldn’t sleep for a long time, and I woke up in anticipation of Dating, and the less time was left to it, the more I began to worry, almost being in panic. I thought what to tell her, where to invite, how to behave, and figured out all the possible scenes of the turn of events.
