Beginning of a Love Story

"We make our choices, then our choices make us."

It is said that destiny finds us, no matter what, we are bound to submit to destiny. But i think we make our own destiny. Our life is just the effect of our choices. So we should choose carefully , for the choices we make today will reflect our tomorrow. That day i chose to approach her, talk to her and i think it was the best one i ever made. Our story started like this, me stuck in college attending those boring lectures because my parents expected me to be a well educated gentleman, whereas my heart belongs to the aspiring ocean. I was distracted when the class was going on, only thinking when i would return home and then go for surfing. Finally when the class was over, i hurried back home, quickly changed and ran to the ocean. It was quite a nice day. After surfing for a long time i sat on the shore to relax a bit. The warm sand and the cool breeze felt quite soothing. When i turned to my right side, i saw a girl, no wonder a beautiful girl, standing not too far from me. I couldn't help but stare at her. I'm usually very reserved but at that time, seeing her my desire to talk to her was far too strong. So i got up and went to her. 

Me: Hi..                                                                                                 

She turned to look at me.

She: Hello..

Me: I'm Dean. Dean Waters.

She: I'm Andrea O' Connor. But you can call me Ann.

She smiled sweetly at me, i smiled back.

Me: Do you come here often?

Andrea: I'm new here. I like this beach, so I'll be coming often.

Me: I love surfing here. Do you know how to surf?                                                   

I immediately regretted saying that, how stupid i was to ask her such a lame question. She had just moved in. Not that i was a very skilled conversationalist.

Andrea: Yeah, a little. I once had a bit of training when i was young, during my summer holidays.

Me: Well, i can teach you properly.

She giggled like a little girl, she looked so cute.

Andrea: I would absolutely love that.

I was surprised how readily she accepted my offer. Though I was in every way harmless, i still was a boy she just met. I'm glad that it was not anyone else, because i'm pretty sure anyone would have taken advantage of the opportunity. One thing i realized that I have started caring for her.

Andrea: So Dean, what do you do?

Me: I'm a student. First year in college.

Andrea: I'll be very soon joining college, first year.

It had been so many years we've been together. But for me our first meeting still feels like it was just yesterday. That day will be treasured forever in my memory. It was the day which led to our destiny- our journey together, THE BEGINNING OF OUR LOVE STORY!!
