You In My Amsterdam

Chapter 1

The cool wind was blowing. Also the little waves on the water looked so fresh. The beauty of tulips was coloring the city's view. There were tourists and locals, biking along the beautiful canal and cruising on boats and vessels.

Here, was the most famous place in Amsterdam, Prinsengracht Canal. The sky of September was clearly blue, being beautiful by white and slivery clouds. The noises of pedestrians were heard. Overall, this was just a masterpiece drawn by nature.

We were sitting on the canal-side bench, smiling, and watching the photographs on the camera. These beautiful photographs of Amsterdam were taken by him, a black-hair, tall and handsome boy. The photographs were changing one after another. And then I saw my smiling photo in his camera screen.

'This is my first time taking photos of people, I don't think it'll be nice,' he said, in a very gentle way.

'No, it's really beautiful, I think this will be because of the model's beauty,' I said, laughing.

'Yes, you're pretty.'

Hearing his words, I stopped laughing and I could clearly hear my heartbeats. However, I didn't feel it was strange because my heart always pounded like in a race whenever I was beside him. Yes, also today, I was beside him. Every time I was beside him, I exactly knew this was a dream. But I didn't want to wake up. The reason is I always felt happy when I was together with him.

I didn't know about him or even his name. But I always saw him in my dreams. He was making a sweet smile every time I saw him. It seemed so real and I didn't want to call it dream. I just wanted to regard it as a paradise.

Also this time, he was smiling but I could feel something beyond his smile. I didn't know what it was. All I knew was he could make me happy and delightful. And I knew this feeling would be something that was magical and meaningful to me.

'Autumn! Wake up, it's your first day, don't you remember?'

After she heard her mother calling, she woke up quickly and looked at the phone.

'What? I'll be late.'

Autumn ran to the bathroom in hurry. She had no time to recall her delightful dream because It was her first day of college. Autumn was in music major for her craziness in music. She really liked imagining and the boy in her dreams would be a character she created.

'Hum, this is my first day, Mom. Why onion?' Said Autumn, seeing the bowl of onion soup on the dining table.

'Don't be picky, it is delicious more than you think.'

'Wait! I got déjà vu,' Autumn shouted.

'Again?' mother said with a wry face.

'She always gets déjà vu. Shouldn't we go discuss with a doctor?' father also said with the newspaper in his hands.

'Don't worry, Dad. It's nothing serious. I'm going.'

In a rush, Autumn said goodbye to her father and mother and ran to the outside of the house.

'It's enough for your breakfast?
Autumn didn't even hear her mother.
