I'm afraid of falling in love again, the last time had been so painful. Yet it had been the best love I have ever had. So many complications and yet so many beautiful memories, it was fun while it lasted.
I can remember how we met, it was a well mapped out plan by faith. I had left the house that morning a little less hyped because I knew it was going to be a tiring chain full day, Mondays were always filled with a lot of lectures and I don't ever look forward to such days.
Took the first bus from my street to the bus stop where I'll have to board another bus directly to school. It was a smooth ride and I barely even noticed that the clouds were slowly turning dark. On getting to my destination, I paid my fare and stepped out, looking at my watch I noticed I was almost running late for my first class.
Feeling a little agitated, I decided to hurry to catch the next bus, I'll have to walk a little before I see the bus that'll take me inside school. Before I could even take a step forward, it started to rain!, not drizzle, rain heavily. The type of rain that would get you soaked in mini seconds.
I was shocked and helpless at the same time, there was obviously no shade around and I hadn't even thought about carrying an umbrella with me. Right there on the side of the road, I stood angry and already getting soaked. I couldn't even think straight again, the day was truely cursed. I was still murmuring curses under my breath when I noticed that it had finally stopped raining.
Wait, it hadn't because I could still see heavy droplets in front of me, but why wasn't I feeling the hard beat of the rain on me any longer. Was nature finally choosing to exempt me from her harsh outburst?
I looked above me to notice something fascinating, an umbrella had magically found it's way over my head.
No, it wasn't magic, I looked to the side to notice two tall legs standing right beside me, I followed the legs all the way up to notice a well dressed body but I couldn't see the face. The body had sacrificed itself to keep me from getting soaked. I had to know what this body was or which foreign entity possessed this body.
I still couldn't believe it was real so I opened my mouth and asked "erm, who are you please". I could see the body bend a little revealing squirrel-like eyes and a beautiful smile. This was an unmistakably foreign entity because no human could be this beautiful.
The entity said, "pardon my manners, I noticed you were getting soaked from the rain and decided to be of assistance". I saw the entity smile again and I could feel my heart melt.
We both spoke for a while and I had almost forgotten that I still had a class to attend. When I finally remembered, I motioned to go and the entity offered to walk me to the next bus. So we both walked side by side, a short human alongside a tall beautiful entity, under heavy rain protected by an umbrella.
When I finally got to the bus, I felt a little sad, because I didn't want to leave this entity just yet. Apart from being beautiful, it had a nice sense of humor and it was very smart. Often times I had avoided conversations with other people because they just couldn't grasp what I was always talking about but I was surprised to see that this entity surpassed my own imaginations.
I took a step in, turned back to say my last goodbye when I felt the entity touch my hand, kiss it and then finally say, "my lady, I hope to see you some other time, and since you didn't ask, David is my name".
I could see it's eyes light up as it spoke and each time I felt a certain warmth inside. I was stunned, I couldn't say a word but wave, then I left it to go sit down by the window. I looked through the window to see if I'll see it again, but what I saw was water dripping from the window.
After that day I had waited wishing for a chance to see my beautiful entity again, but I was disappointed. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months and still no sign of it. I had even started to forget about it when I finally bumped into it again. This time, I didn't let it leave me again until......
