“This heart of mine belongs to you, with the smallest amount of devotion for the greater means of love.”
For years, this was the way the god known as cupid fought to help others find their soulmate, their light in the dark, their true love.
he fought for love for those too frightened to speak, but he was too frightened to fight for his own.
Finding the right woman for him seems difficult then he expected because Some girls find him too demanding and others found him to secluded.
His heart beating out of his chest and His palm sweating, he stared at the tiny object in his hand.
“this is a phone“
The object begins to move slowly, making a weird noise and roared like a beast.
“What is this”
He asked Amazed by its powerful roar
“A ringtone”
The beautiful stranger sitting next to him replied reaching out to him, placing her hand between his own.
He seems reluctant to answer it and see who was at the other end, but his companion took a look at the bright light flashing on the screen highlighting the word cupid’s dad.
Thinking it was a sick joke, she quickly retracted her hand.
“are you going to get that”
still, in a dazed by his phone, he ignored her as he continued
”ring…..tone…”
when the volume in the room diminished leaving them in an awkward silence. he turned to thank her and he realized that she has left without a word
“I scared another one”
Sadden by his reality that he wouldn't find a mate, he cruised the street into pub closed by where a beautiful stranger asked him to dance.
He finally learned that without his bow and arrow and his magical charms, he is defenseless, and as of tonight he's only human.
His name was John, he was new to town and he was terrible with his words. They dance to the music and when it stopped, he walked to the nearest table with his phone in hand admiring it
“amazing”
The light on the device flickered as he explored its capabilities, pressing one button after another
“Yes it is”
Unlike his other terrible advances, he seems to be smitten with his new friend. Showing her his device, he places his hand on hers, but she seems at ease
“you're not afraid”
The short hair brunette smiled, as she placed her hand between his returning his affection.
“new phone”
“I have never needed one”
“ I had this one for the longest and I never thought I needed this”
He pulled out a smaller object similar to the one that he was holding. Instead of standing out like the new one that he had, this one was smaller than his hand.
“ I see “
Taking the antique object away from his hand
“a flip-phone”
It folded slowly as he compared the two objects
“People on these small squares”
His cheeks turned red when his hand rested on top of her knee
“Do they really talk on this tiny device”
“Yes”
She didn't know where this mysterious man came from, but she was strangely drawn to him.
“What is your name”
Before she could answer, he exclaimed happily
“and How can I call you”
It was her turned to blush.
she took a strand of hair placing it behind her ear. She wanted to move her hand away from his, but they locked eyes And there they stayed speechless.
with his blue eyes sparkling into the night, her brown orbs spoke to him.
who knew that a handsome Bo like himself could be nervous to find love.
“I have to go”
“blue eyes looking for love, At last look no further then ok cupid, snapchat, bad, or Christian Mingle.”
Staring down in his lap, His new phone talked about promises of romanced and how he could find the love of his life
“Dear sir, I am cupid,”
he was too distracted by the voice from his phone that he didn't notice his new friend living in a rush.
“Hey wait”
He screamed dropping the object from the floor, as she rushed by the people across the street
“What's your name”
“Angie…. But I have to go”
“Wait”
As he kept screaming but she was beyond reach
“John”
This voice sounded familiar,
“Father”
His father stood tall
“Did you find her”
“Yes, but only to lose her again”
“It's not in vain, and I see you have a new phone”
“You know what this is”
“It's my job to know”
His father knew that his son was strong to take over his duty, but he seems unhappy.
Taking him into an embrace
“Use the tools that you were giving and all will fall into place”
“But I really liked her”
replied John in a disappointing tone
“I know son”
He took a deep breath staring at his watch
“how…. How did you do it”
“ patience son, because There are no secrets.”
John never felt so alone, yet so lost in his father's word
“ but This….this is your answer”
Taking the phone from his hand, his father reassured him
“learn to use it”
After his first six attempts at finding a love interest felt, he decided to take his fathers advice and place his trust in a foreign technology.
“So its the age of technology”
he took the phone from his father learning it uses, It took him hours to find his courage to find Angie, the only women who took the time to know him.
“I shall evolve with it”
He found her contact number and begin dialing her, and on the third ring, she answered
“This is Angie”
“hi its john, we’ve just met“
“Hi, you found me”
“I wanted to know, “
His heart skipped a bit, as this was it. The question that when he asked every woman, they would turn him down
“would you….. like to go on a date with me“
“Yess… Yes I would”
