Sweet Disposition

Three.

Arlett and I was seating by the pool, she made me a burger to eat. the same day I first met her. Again.

"Arlett, How did we met? Because I really can't remember."

"Again? you asked me this for the 3rd time today."

"Please? I won't get tired listening to our story."

"we're both in that bar, you are with your brother and a strange man sat on my side and that was you."

"Strange?! What I am strange?" giggles a little and continues to eat the burger and it's dripping everywhere, everything is just a mess

"Yeah, I mean you are so not my type. I usually date guys who's assertive" She laughs and looks at me in the eyes

"What? I am assertive." Trying to defend myself

"no you're not. You're stubborn that's different."

"that night I told myself if I could fly and meet someone new and my chances of that happening are somewhat diminished, seeing that I am incapable of making eye contact with someone. And you talked to me saying 'I saw you. Seating here. By yourself, and I thought Thank God, someone normal who doesn't know how to interact with this things either and you are so nervous that time, and I don't know what to say."

" 'I'm Nathan Lewis, can I borrow a piece of your chicken.' Now I remember"

"And you just took it without waiting for an answer." We both laugh.

"It was intimate like we're both already lovers. I'm Arlett Woods, nice to meet you. Again."

Now I remember our first meeting: She took me to her place, we drink wine and she said 'drink up young man it'll make the seduce part less repugnant' and that is so awkward. We didn't talk about a lot of things, she keeps complimenting how I am closed-mouthed, my life isn't that impressing. I go to my brother's house and come house. I don't know what to say

" you should read my journal, I mean, it's just blank."

She asked me, if that makes me sad or anxious. She said "I am always anxious thinking that, I am not living my life up to the fullest, you know. Taking advantage of every possibility, making sure I am not wasting one second of little time I have." She said.

I answered with a low-pitch keening sound "I think of that too." And she giggles a little, leaning on me closer.

"you're really nice" she laughs "God, I have to stop saying that."

She sits in my lap "I'm gonna marry you. I know it."

"uhm.. okay." I answered, and she leans in to my shoulder, hugging my arm, holding my hands.

"I had this one boyfriend who, always cheat on me. He said he was sorry and I was right to break up with him. As I was driving away, I am feeling so small." She said with sadness in her eyes, like she really regrets meeting the guy

"why would you date a guy like that?" I asked.

"I don't know. I was young. you must have things to regret."

"Nope. Everything's been perfect so far." I smirk and looks at her straight
...
"So is that what you look for a guy? Douchieness ?"

"No. I was looking for you. I just didn't find you for a while." I leaned in to kiss her, she jumps, runs, and leaps in to the pool fully clothed.

"JUMP!!" A splash as she hits the water, I stand and dives in after her.

Arlett
"what did you think the first time you saw me?"

Nathan
"I thought you were the most beautiful girl I ever saw, and never in my life have I ever thought, I deserve this kind of love."

Arlett
"were you disappointed when you got to know me?"

Nathan
"How can you ask that?"

Arlett
"My life is such a mess"

Nathan
"I love your mess."

Arlett
"You know what I thought the first time I saw you? I thought: Look at that beautiful boy. I am going to love him forever and ever and ever."

Nathan
"What if you got sick of me?"

Arlett
"I won't. I promise."

The next morning, I woke up beside her, and she is still sleeping. Nothing beats this kind of intimacy, when it's early in the morning and it feels like you two are the only people in the world. There are no words or intentions, you're just happy lying next to each other I use to hate mornings but then she came along singing a song of love into my life and that changed. Now I look forward to them, waking up every morning with her beside me. I could do this for eternity. It feels like we're meant to be. I wish this moment would never end. I love us. I love Arlett, I love the shape of her lips when she smiles. I love her three piece bangs. I love her beauty mark on her cheeks. I like the way she talks and how she reacts to everything. I love the sound she makes when she laughs. I feel so good about myself, knowing that I've met the greatest woman in the face of the Earth.

I decided to meet Harris in this cheap Mexican restaurant that day, I told him everything about Arlett that she became real, he is just staring at me with disbelief. I grabbed a chip and just eat everything I can eat.

"Harris, you know the thing about the beginning of the relationship where you forgot to eat? I may actually need a meal here." Harris just sit there and stares at me and sighs

"look I know it's a lot to take in, but you have to believe me here. She's real. I don't know how or why, but she's real and she's here. And I like it."

"Tell me about her."

"Arlett Woods, Twenty Six years old. She's raised in Montauk, New York City. Arlett's apartment looks like bomb went off. She sits in her couch eating pizza and watching the Simpsons. Arlett's not pretty good with life sometimes. She's always looking for something. But she doesn't know what."

"Have you told mom about this?"

I just look away and grabbed another chip.

"what are you, nuts? Mom would be happy!"

"mom, would think I'm crazy. But I tell you, I am going to tell mom about this at the right moment."
