When I was young, I used to dream about being the prince charming on a white horse for a beautiful girl, who would be the love of my life, the ONE for me. But life hit me straight in the face.
Growing up wasn't easy for me, due to all of the "conflicts" my parents had, and the financial situation in the house, more precisely in all of the country. Eventually, I had to leave school and drop my studies, because it was me learning or my younger brother, and what kind of a brother would I be if I didn't let my brother pursue his dreams and build his future?
I left school at the age of 14 and began working to help my parents with our payments... I worked at a bookstore, where I discovered my love for books.
And 10 years after, here I still am working in the same bookstore, falling in love with books even more every day that passes. My parents do not have "conflicts" anymore and my brother Nick is still studying.
Every day I would get up of my bed, have breakfast with my family, get Nick to school then continue to work, where I would start by opening the doors, then arrange the books and wait for costumers. But today was different, after I opened the store, YOU arrived. You were wearing a hooded jacket, which showed that you are not a fan of attention, and a just above the knee length dress that made me understand that you actually do like a bit of attention. You went straight to the dark romance aisle, where I kind of realized that your life was a little messy, but whose isn't?
I got closer to you, welcomed you and asked if I could be of any help, but you have had already chosen your book. You were polite, you turned your face my way and thanked me. And oh my god, is it a real thing that I saw? Could there be any person this beautiful on earth?
You were there standing in front of me, you removed your hoodie from on your head, and your light brown slightly waved hair laid on your shoulders. You gave me an innocent smile that hid your pain, but your blue eyes exposed you. I was struck by cupid's arrow.
