That's How It Happened .

CHAPTER ONE.

Okay now, get your head straight! Are you up for this?

'Hell yeah!'or maybe no?

'NO! focus', I said to myself.

I have to do it!!!

My heart pounding out of my chest.
Every iota of blood in my body is rushing to my cheeks flushing them red.
My ears get hot. I can feel the pressure building inside me! I'm doomed.

Alright then... Let's do it!I say to myself.

I sprint my way from behind the wall into the cafeteria through the door. Looking like a maniac.

I could feel my stomach turning as I saw her standing there talking to her friends.great,as if it wasn't hard as hell already.

Ok, no time to turn back now. I started to move by the tables while my eyes were fixed on her. She looked so perfect. Not that it was a new thing because she looked so damn perfect every single day.

I tried to think if I had never even 'talk' talked to her. Like a real talk. And the few incidents that popped into my head were really few. the one time I handed her fallen pencil and she said "thanks". Just that... Damn, I'm screwed.

My pace got slower and slower as I was reaching closer to her until I finally stopped right behind her.

Sweat beads started to form on my forehead. My finger started to quiver. I was breathing through my mouth as my nostrils won't get any bigger.
It felt like gravity was trying to pull me into the earth and to be honest, I would gladly get eaten by earth than do what I was thinking. god.

I was standing there like a statue and suddenly my eyes drifted to the side and I realized that the cafeteria was totally crowded. Shit.

Just then her friend saw me. I gulped hard. So hard that the sound, resonated in my mind.
I clenched my jaw as I saw her giving a sign to look behind ...

She turned around.

I may sound ridiculously funny but seriously, it did happen in slow motion. First her blonde hair, then her shoulder, then her hazel brown eyes, and finally her face right in front of me.

She raised her eyebrows as a way of asking me " what?"

Somehow my eyelids opened wide. And as I saw her saying "what?" I realized I couldn't hear anything.

My eyes fell on her moving lips.I noticed her friends too, talking and making faces like "who is this guy " "what is wrong with him".

I knew I had to do this. My only chance. Or else...

OK people ...time to get serious. What I am about to say you now, is really dangerous. And by dangerous I mean dangerous. You could get a slap right on your face, or a tray thrown straight to your head. And also in some remote possibilities, you could enjoy both depending on the scenario.

How do I know this? Well, you can say experience speaks for itself.

So now back to the moment.
I m just centimeters away from her. So close that I could smell perfume.

She looked me in the eye. Still confused.

Okay it's time. I let go of my grip on the strap of my bag. And hold her face. Move in closer to her. I could see her eyes looking like a little kid getting scared at the sight of a big ugly bully. I could bear it so I closed my eyes.

All the people in the cafeteria were now looking our way. I could feel there stares poking me. Maybe I should stop? Said a voice in my head. If only I had listened to it ...

And then happened the disaster, the Armageddon, the Apocalypse, the...I don't know how to make it more dramatic but yes, it was.

And that one moment changed my life completely.

You know why? ...

Because kids, that was the day ...I kissed your mom.

Now if I say you that your dad was a total badass in school and a real playboy kind...then I would be lying. Because that kiss won't have happened without your uncle Sam.

"Uncle Sam was there too?" Amy said as she sat on the couch with her legs crossed.

"Yep, he was. And also uncle Steve " I slouch back in the lazy boy lounge. Oh, its soo comfortable. May God bless that man who invented this!

"But what happened after that?" Aaron fell on the couch next to Amy.

OK, a quick intro. Aaron is my son and Amy is my daughter.
Both of them are 17 now and their mom has gone to Michigan to her friends home to attend her 'baby shower' ...
To be honest I don't understand why is it even necessary... Well coming back to the point. I am Adam Stowell. And this is the year 2030.

We all know that after a while, any board game gets boring. Especially if you are losing. And since its raining cats and dogs outside, it means no movies either. So, to spend the time I came up with this idea. To tell my children how I kissed their mom.

I just realized how pathetic it sounds. She is gonna kill me...

"Dad!continue !!! You can't leave a story hanging!" Amy screamed and grabbed a pillow in front of her.

"OK OK ...if you really want to know about it, then you are gonna have to listen from the beginning" I leaned forward and clasped my fingers.

"Okay, we are ready!" They said in unison.

"Alright then "

"So the story begins before the start of school that year..."

Me, Steve and Sam were returning home from the movie. It was a terminator, I think.

"Dude, Arnold has a real badass body man!" Sam said out loud. Maybe he didn't realize it.

Steve and I looked at each other and we knew what we were thinking.

"Oh really ?" I said slyly giving him a look.

"Yeah," he said casually.

"Hey Adam, it looks like someone has a crush on Arnold !" his mocking talents were remarkable back then and the way he used to say his jokes could even make the lamest of all jokes become the jokes that make you cry.

Steve and I burst into laughter and Sam realized what he had done. Because now, for the next 2 weeks, he was gonna be the hot topic of our conversations.

As we crossed kings road, we took the turn and just then we saw 2 girls in the alley.

Now, kids, you may get into a situation like this someday. And I want you not to do what we did. You will know why in a little while...
