"There's this old saying. It takes intelligence to do things right but wisdom to do the right things. Maybe I was intelligent, maybe I wasn't. One thing's for sure. I certainly was not wise. Thinking back, I was probably more in love with the idea of being in love than any actual person. And I would soon pay dearly for my oversight."
10 YEARS AGO:
The outdoor garden of the school was usually empty during lunchtime. During this time, people were usually playing sports, doing homework or eating. But, on a quiet shaded bench, here I was.
"Open wide!" Bella smiled as she placed her spoon before my mouth.
Embarrassed, I quickly leaned to the side and placed my mouth on the spoon.
Now, you're probably wondering how I got here.
How did this guy end up getting fed by this gorgeous angel?
Ever since Bella asked me to attend her dance, we've been hanging out and having lunch a couple of weeks now.

Bella snickered slyly and said
"Of course, they won't be free."
Dammit.
"That's alright. How much does it cost?" I asked, trying my best to hide my disappointment.
"Two hundred." Bella chirped as she reached into her skirt pocket and passed it to me.
TWO HUNDRED?!??!?!

Bella was smiling and the light rays filtered from the trees bounced off her big, brown, beautiful eyes. Her every blink caused me to spire into anxiety.
I'm usually a calm and composed person but today, I had one of my rare inner debates.

You can't back out now.
BUT ITS TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS. WHAT ABOUT THAT PC YOU'RE SAVING UP FOR?
But Bella is an investment! Think of her dancing!
BUT MONEY!
BUT BELLA!
FINE YOU WIN!
Using as much willpower as I could possibly muster, I kept a straight face as my poor wallet proceeded to lose weight.
