Chilling Tales

The shower

Have you ever wonder why you seem cold when you are taking a bath? Well, it’s not the water or the ventilation. A sudden gush of draft enters your bathroom but surprisingly the door and the windows are closed. Care to guess why?

It was a quarter pass 10 pm when Melanie, a student in a famous university, took a night shower in her dorm’s public restroom. It was her first night in that particular dormitory because her past dormitory was burned to the ground by an unknown crazy man. As she was turning the shower knobs she felt a quick breeze, she then ignored it and continued taking a bath. Afterwards she got dressed and then went to her room. It was her daily routine to take a bath during at night that is why she was used to walk down the hall all by herself. Then one night as she was taking the same shower treatment she felt shivers down her spine then she looked behind her. She was startled to what she saw, a foot dangling on the shower head and as she looked up, she saw a young lady hanged with no eyes bloody all over.

She ran as fast as she can outside the bathroom, almost half naked she quickly went inside her room and turned on the lights. “The chilly feeling won’t go away” she said to herself as she gets dressed. Then her roommate screamed when she saw her sitting beside the bed. Melanie kept on asking why she was so scared to death and as she looked in the vanity mirror of their room. The young lady was sitting in her shoulders looking directly at her in the mirror.

Days later the dormitory was burned to the ground the same as Melanie’s first dormitory. They soon found out that the man who kept on burning these dormitories was the young lady’s father. He tried to keep her daughter from harming others; she was raped in the bathroom then murdered afterwards.

Bedroom Guest

It’s always fun to have a guest in our house especially if it’s a sleep over but having an unwanted guest is something far beyond strange and wrong. During cold nights do you experience a cold sensation in parts of your body as you lay down in your bed? Here is why.

Anne and Kelly were the best of friends since they were only 5 years old. They love hanging out and playing house in their tree house. Now that they are teenagers, they love having sleep-over or slumber parties. Then one unexpected night as the two of them were doing their nails the door suddenly creaked. They ignored it and then closed it. It was about 11pm when they decided to rest and lay down in the bed. Anne, who was sleeping on the left side of the bed turned her back at Kelly and then felt a tingly chill in her foot. She immediately tucks her foot inside the blanket and shut her eyes. She kept on feeling this chilly feeling in her foot even though her foot is already inside the blanket. She then asked Kelly if she feels the same thing but to her shock, she saw no one beside her!

Anne was freaked out! She thought that Kelly was behind her all the time, she even felt someone lying down at the bed. Kelly on the other hand was in the bathroom brushing her teeth and then asked Anne why she was so freaked out. She then told everything. Kelly stood silent for a while then told her the truth. Kelly’s family moved out a couple of days from their previous home because her older sister was having an unwanted guest in her room, an incubus. It then followed them at their current home. Her sister was then brought to the asylum and the room they were staying was that of her older sister’s.

Sometimes simple breezes or tiny chills mean something. It maybe a spirit in need of attention or a friendly gesture, but whatever it is, always be careful because you might never know what you will see when a gush of wind passes you by.

“World’s greatest Dad”

My dad was once my best friend. When I was still a child I could remember him taking me to the park to play catch or just to play tag with me. We were the best of buddies but as soon I reached my high school years. My bond with my father slowly faded. Then one unforgettable event happened to us. Here is our story.

“It was the first day of my freshmen year. I was scared to enter the school but my father smiled at me and said “Ben, I am so proud at you that you are now in high school. Please study well for this is your future not ours.” I just smiled back because I kept on hearing those same words every year. I stepped out of the car and went on. The first day was ok. It was not that special but at least I made a couple of new friends. “

“A couple of weeks I began to befriend this girl. Her name was Kylie, she was very pretty and she was very kind. Not long we started dating and that was the very first time I had a girlfriend. I told my father about her and he got excited to meet her. That’s what I like about him. He was cool with everything and that he is open minded about things. I sometimes pity him because he worked at a construction site and every time he goes home he is very tired and weak. The fact that he is old makes it ten times harder.”

“After a year of courting Kylie I told my father that I would take Kylie home to meet him and mom. He told me sure and he was delighted to find out that I am no longer a boy. I was his little man. I just smiled and went on. That night I brought Kylie and she met my family. Everything was going alright when soon I found out that she was cheating on me. I hated her so much and I even hated myself more for being so stupid to fall for such a girl like that.”

“I soon started drinking and went home late at night. That was then when my father started to scold me. I was so irritated with my life and he scolding me, added more to that irritation. I soon started yelling at my dad, telling him that he was so annoying and so stupid. I was being taken over by my hatred towards my first love.”

“One night as I was walking down the road, I took the shortcut down the construction site where my father was working. I was holding a bottle of rum but I was not yet drunk. I was planning to drink it by the lake shore but my dad saw me and he took the bottle and slammed it on the ground. At first I did not recognized him because it was dark, the only source of light was the moon so it was blurry and I got angry and tried to hurt my dad but when he spoke and said “Son, stop this non sense! I know it’s hard for you but please don’t ruin your life for such a pitiful girl!”

“I soon started crying and dropped on my knees! I told him “You don’t know anything about how I feel! I loved her so much and that she was everything to me! You don’t give a damn! When we broke up, were you there? You were gone for 5 days! 5 days!! You did not tell me where you have gone to! I have no one to share my feelings to! You know you are my best friend!” my dad slowly approached me and then...we both fell into a pit.”

*PLAY THE SONG NOW AND CONTINUE READING...

“As I open my eyes total darkness was all that I can see and as I look above, only stars are the light that you can see. We were covered halfway with dirt and my dad held my hand and said “Are you ok? Do you feel something that hurts?” I just said no and tried to scream for help.”

“It was almost an hour that we were buried halfway to our chest. My dad started to lose conscious because of the tight space we were in. His hand was almost loosing grip to mine and I started to panic. Then the worst thing happened, it started raining hard. The pit was slowly being filled with water after a few minutes I heard someone walking closely to us and I screamed HELP! It was a stranger that was passing by he told us to hang tight, he will call for help.”

“Now I was the one losing conscious. I was getting dizzy and paranoid of drowning. My dad held my hand the whole time, he said sorry every time i moan because my legs got numbed. It was the first time I saw my dad cried. The whole time we were on the pit he tried to talk to me to regain conscious I know he is in pain more than I am but he encouraged me to stay awake. Then the rescuers came and pulled down a rope. My dad screamed “Take my son first! Take him! Save my son first!” As my dad put the harness around my chest area my vision started to go blurry and as I was being raised up to the ground my father held my hand and said to me “I love you, son. Please be safe. Everything is alright now. I am sorry for not being there for you. I hope you understand.” Then as our hands separated the dirt started to pile in on him and water gushed up to his neck. The last thing I saw when I was being raised up was his smile as if he was saying that he is happy that he had a son like me.

“I was put on the ambulance and I was relieved when one of the rescuers told me that my dad was being lifted now and everything was going alright. As soon I was wheeled into the ambulance, people began screaming and panicking. I heard them saying “The pit! The pit piled on! Get the man out of there!”

It was the last time I saw my dad. He was buried alive in that pit; it was already morning when the rescuers dug my dad out and my mom told me when I was in the hospital bed how my dad looked like when he was being raised up. My dad was holding his locket. That locket contained our picture together.”

“I soon found out the reason why my dad was gone for 5 days. He was working another job in another town. My mom told me he was saving money for my college and for my birthday present, a car. I told myself that whatever happens I will graduate and find a stable job. For this was my father’s dream. He gave his life for me so that I can undo my wrong doings. I know somewhere out there; my father is looking at me and guiding me all the way.”

Words of freedom

Words of freedom

Long distance relationships are very hard and complicated. Having these two people who love one another separated by distance and time is something unbearable and temptations seem to follow but holding on is what keeps this unique relationship work. What if that person can no longer take the pain of separation and says that he wants to give up and wants you to be happy with someone else? Hearing these “words of freedom” is the most hurtful thing you can hear from the one you loved so much.

It was a sunny morning when Amber was busy making breakfast for her family. She was the eldest among her siblings and that she is known for being so independent and hardworking. She was currently studying at a famous university. It was pass 9am when she realized she was already late for her first subject.

She is currently in a relationship with Jacob. Jacob is the only child of a wealthy family. He is very religious and down to earth. They had a very good relationship with one another. They have been together for almost a year now and that their relationship is perfectly legal with their parents. Their love is truly unique due to the fact that they have a long distance relationship!

One night when the two were on the phone Amber said “Jacob, how was your day? Tomorrow is our anniversary! I can’t wait to celebrate! I hope you are here with me.” Jacob replied “It was fine. Uhmm...me too. I can’t wait. Amber i will be busy for a while ok? I have work this summer so I won’t be talking to you for a while.” “Oh is that so? It’s ok. Don’t forget to take a rest and drink lots of water ok?” Then the clock stroke 12 they greeted one another for holding on for a year. Their love was unstoppable. Everything was going so well and so perfect then it came to him. Distance was all over his head. Longing for her was circulating through his veins then the reality of distance hugged him as surrender whispered to his ears.

A few days passed and Amber started to neither notice that Jacob no longer talks to him nor answers her messages. She began to worry that he already forgot her. She started calling him and whenever he answers the phone it was the same boring conversation. He no longer has the passion to chat with her. Amber understood that he was busy with work but the fact that he no longer has the desire to commit to her that was the time that Amber began to panic. She kept on asking, calling, and texting him if he still loves her. She was a girl possessed by desperation and was on the verge of losing her mind. She deeply loved Jacob so much and that she was afraid of him leaving her.

One day when Amber opened her facebook account, she saw Jacob’s status and started to cry. It says that he was now single. She wanted to scream but her tears overwhelmed her. She instantly called him and kept on annoying him, asking him about what was going on. Jacob said that he was so sorry for everything. He no longer could handle their relationship. He was scared of hurting her because he cannot fulfil his promise to her that they will be together forever. He just kept quiet the whole time as Amber was crying. He cannot say anything to her. Before the conversation stopped, he told amber that maybe she should find someone close to her so that she would not feel lonely. Amber snapped that time she yelled at the phone “I don’t want anyone other than you! I am happy with you! I know that someday we will be together! Our love and commitment is very strong and that distance is nothing compare to the power of our passion to one another! I love you Jacob! Please! Let us work things out!”

He still did not say anything then the line went off. It was the last conversation she had with Jacob. Every time she calls him, he would not answer and whenever he is online on the computer he ignores her. Amber’s friends comforted her and gave her advices; they told her to stop stalking him and stopped aggravating him to come back to her. She is losing her pride over someone who did not care about her feelings and to someone who threw their 1 year relationship down the drain. Amber just said to them that she is trying to fix something that can still be resolved. Their love is true she knows that and patience is the only key and holding on is one of the solution.

It’s been 3 years and Amber still waited for him. She kept her promise that she will never love another guy other than Jacob then one day as she was walking, a car stopped beside her and as she looked through the open window it was Jacob staring at her. Her eyes started to tear up. Jacob stepped out and grabbed her hand and told her that he kept one of his promises to her that he will go to her place and meet her there. Amber started crying and hugged him and kept on saying that she loved him so much and that everything was all worth it but Jacob did not say anything nor hugged her back. Amber started to fear that there was something wrong. She spoke “What’s wrong? Are you not happy that we are now together? That you are here with me right now?” Then Jacob gave her an invitation card and left.

Amber was in a state of shock. She dropped the wedding invitation and started running away. Jacob was now getting married to someone else. Her dreams of her and Jacob being together were shattered into shards. The pain was unbearable! She isolated herself in her room and then one day a phone call from her mother ended the story. Amber committed suicide and left a note beside her tormented body and injured soul saying that:

“Freedom is his excuse to find somebody else. Death for me is an exception to pain. I am sorry that I am weak but seeing him happy as I am being tortured in hell and looking up to earth will be my greatest freedom.”

That day, Amber’s funeral, Jacob realized he was not happy with his wife. She was a gold digger and she only wanted his money. She cannot believe that he made the biggest mistake in his life. He blamed himself for Amber’s death and ever since that he became a total stranger to everyone. If only Jacob hold on to her and that he opened his mind that their relationship would work. He wouldn’t feel the agony of regret.

THE END

Happily ever after?

Happily ever after?

I fell in love with someone,

Who was far away from me.

Living in a world where distance occupies we.

At first I was hesitant

I was uncertain and doubtful

If our love would blossom

Like a little pumpkin on autumn.

Days passed,

Along with weeks,

Then months then a year.

I said to myself

I have overcome God’s hitch.

And I am sure me and my prince will live

Together forever on our dream dwelling.

I was the luckiest girl in the world

Nothing can stop our love from flourishing

Then it came to him,

Hopelessness.

He wanted to quit

He wanted to leave.

Soon my fairy tale dreams

Shattered into bits and bits.

Devastation was now my friend

Loneliness was my best friend.

I ate sadness for breakfast

I drink rejection to compromise.

I was a big mess.

I was a pile of filth lying on the ground

I was hoping someone would pick me up

And turn me into something new.

I blamed myself for being so

Pitifully ugly!

For being disgustingly lazy!

I did nothing to win him back

I just stood there looking at him

Staring at his repulsive guts

As he walked away from me

Then I kept on thinking...

Do happily ever after exist?

Its over

Its over

I was running through the fields of joy

Holding hands with remorse

Looking at the clouds of gray

Then I saw him

Waving away.

I tried to grab his hands

But the shadows of

Love grabbed him and took him

Far away.

To a place where freedom

Inhibits,

And disremember lives.

I was sad and lonely as the wind

Of depression Hugs me

with his friend sorrow covering my eyes with tears,

and grief followed and whisper on my ears

telling me

ITS OVER.

Its finally over!

Deity Elixir: Chapter 4

Chapter 4

(Baby Alexis and her Secrets)

After months of having a baby in her womb, she gave birth to a beautiful young little girl they named as Alexis. The rulers went to the new born baby and gave their own blessing to the young baby girl. “I, the King of Citron give you my blessing of good looks through out your life. You shall be loved by everyone and be blessed with good friends.” King Flaxen said while waving his spear in front of the baby. “I, the King of Shamrock, give you the blessing of luckiness in making decisions and protection from people who will try and find your true skills.” King Chartreuse said while waving his mighty staff in front f the baby. Last but not the least Warlock Sinclair “I, Ruler and guardian of Whimsy give you the blessing of acumen and skills that you will use in your throne and to protect yourself from others”.

The people of Whimsy were happy and made a grand feast for the newly born baby. After the grand feast Queen Lazuli spoke and for once after her marriage with Vermilion she smiled and happily said “Thank you all for coming to my neonate. May the Deity bless you!” After that the people began sensing that the child is a blessing for them.

That night when the Queen fell asleep beside the baby’s cradle, a cooling breeze and a gushing grey cloud went inside the room. The queen not noticing it went on to her deep sleep. Then a voice came about and said “What an attractive little baby you are, Alexis. Hope you grow into a fair young lady. You may not know this now but you have a very important task to do when you turn 21. You shall guard the mysterious and “Holy Elixir”. This will be your task that will change the course of this entire dimension. Please mind this mark on your fore head. This sign will only appear when the Whimsipix will again summon me and will be the mark of the time you will guard the elixir. I am here not to give you difficult tasks but also to give you a blessing. I, The Deity guardian of this dimension, grant you with this holy weapon that you will use in the future. This is the weapon you can only unleash when the time has come. It is called the “Misty Hem” take care of this power my child”.

After that the Deity was gone. But the mark is still glowing. That morning the Queen got surprised at the mark she saw at her daughter’s forehead and tried to hide it from the king by means of not letting the young princess out of her room. They stayed inside for 14 days without anyone entering the room except the person who will give them food and necessities but they only got into their door. “My infantile child, who could have done this? Is this a curse? Wait maybe a blessing from the Deity Gaia. I really don’t know. Please be safe my young princess.” The queen uttered.

That night at the 14^th day inside the room with the custody of her mother. The glowing of her forehead disappeared but it caused the child to cry because of uncomfortable pain. “What?! Oh, what’s wrong? Oh you have a Forrosum (Fever in children). I can handle this I will just use my power.” The queen said while getting her Wand of bliss. But as soon as she got her wand the baby miraculously float in the air and stopped crying. The queen got surprised and fainted for her daughter changed into different forms like a dog, cat, horse, lizard and different kinds of animals but the weirdest one is half human and half fish with a hair long as the curtains.

The Queen woke up and she saw her daughter sleeping soundly in her soft cradle beside the window. She then kept the secret of her daughter for many of years. Still the King did not pay attention to the 14 days of custody of her two loved ones. He only thought of it was as a bonding time for her two loved one.

Stages of love

“Stages of Love”

Have you ever felt being in love with someone? Well, I know one girl who did love someone more than what she expected and in the end only she can decide for her own destiny. This is her story.

My name is Jessica and I am here to tell you about how I began to feel the so called “love” and how I handle it. Come to think of it, my love grew as if it was alive. Love has its stages before it fully matures.

Stage 1: Puppy Love

The very first crush I had was Ryan, and we were on the 1^st grade. He kept on teasing me about my curly hair and he kept on telling people I had bad breathe and that I had body odor. I hated him but then I liked him. It was confusing but every time I looked at him I can help but adore him. He was good looking and that he is funny. One time during recess he spilled milk on my dress but I just smiled told him “It’s ok...hehehe!” he walked away laughing but to me that scenario was so magical. The fact that he spilled “his” milk on me was something so memorable.

Stage 2: Love at first sight

I grew up to be an ordinary girl. The rumors that spread when I was in 1^st grade were gone and now I am on the verge of adolescence. I really did not care about boys at that time. I learned that boys will like you if you have brains. Beauty is nothing without brains according to my supermodel idol. So i tried my best in keeping a high grade but somehow neglect taking care of myself. I never knew love until the day I saw him, Jason Burton. He was not that good looking nor was he popular. The day he bumped at me in the hallway and smiled at me was so unforgettable. I felt sparks as our skin touched one another. I get goose bumps whenever he smiles or talks to me. Is this what they call love at first sight?

Stage 3: First Love

I keep on thinking about him. Day and night he was on my mind. His smell, his voice his mannerism when he looks at you; All of them keeps on flashing in my mind. Then one day I had the courage to walk to him and speak to him. I said “Good morning, Jason. Do you understand our lessons in biology class? I can’t seem to understand it.” To tell you the truth, I understand Biology very well but just to talk to him I need something that would interest him. He liked plants and animals so better be biology. He then replied “Do you want to join our group study after class?” My smile was stretching my face so much that my gums started to show. I kept on seeing butterflies and doves all over us and spoke “That would be great. I will see you after class then.”

During math class I kept on seeing his face on the board. I was like floating in air and can’t wait to get out of that room and see him again. Time was moving slowly or was that just me being excited to see him again. I kept on asking myself “Do I smell? Is my hair good? I think I have coleslaw in my teeth. Do I need to powder up?” I was like losing my mind. I am only meeting him for tutoring a subject that I am good at. After class, I started to have butterflies in my stomach. I was feeling conscious about everything then there he was, walking towards me the butterflies keep on flying up to my mouth and then...and then...and then...I PUKED AT HIM!

It was so embarrassing! As he wiped off the vomit in his face I can see my chances of him liking me more than a friend turned into dust! I tried to help him clean up but he just stays silent. I can feel it, the tears suddenly started to flow. I kept on apologizing at him. Then he held my hand and said “It’s alright. I don’t mind. Are you feeling alright? Do you want me to take you to the nurse?” At that moment the tears suddenly stopped. I just stood there looking at him as he smiled back and held my hand. It was a still moment for the two of us. I never thought that such a person existed. That made me wanted him more. After that incident, he became my closest friend. We were always together but I still did not have the courage to tell him what I am feeling for him. My parents knew him as my best friend; I even hid my feelings for him with my group of friends. I was living in a world of lies, pretending to be his best friend even though I love him more than that.

We were always together having fun and studying. I slowly began conscious of how I look. I started to dye my hair, color my nails, and even have facial treatment. I was a girl obsessed over a guy who knew me as a friend and nothing special. I was addicted to his presence; I get paranoid when he is not around. I kept on calling him when I feel that I miss him. These actions, I thought were normal for someone who had their very first love. But I was wrong. It turned out to be an awful desire to have someone great as him and its effect was that I am changing into someone horrible. I was turning to a love monster.

Stage 4: Forbidden Love

My final move in my preparation for my confession to him was almost at peak. I have decided to tell him that I love him during his birthday bash at a resort house near the ocean. For me it was the best location for him to know how deeply I am in love with him. The night finally came. I wore a skinny tight tube dress while wearing my new wedges. As I apply make up in my young face, only one thing was on my mind. I wanted to be his girlfriend, nothing more nothing less.

I entered the room ignoring all other eyes looking at me, staring at me as if they were stabbing my personality and my soul. My main goal was to find Jason and tell him immediately how I feel about him. I cannot find him anywhere. I started to lose it. I kept on drinking alcohol and started become tipsy then someone told everyone to gather around the dining area for Jason was coming. So I went in front but I felt dizzy and wanted to sit down but Jason was already there walking towards the crowd. My vision started to blurry and as he approach us I saw another person walking behind him and that was the last memory I can remember. I fainted that night and was rushed to the hospital.

I opened my eyes and I saw my mother staring at me as if she was about to slap me. On the other side of the room was my father talking to Jason and yelling at him that he was a bad influence to me. I wanted to stand up and stop my father but I cannot. I was light headed and that my body felt weak. I cannot even speak for some reason. Then the doctor came. He told my mother that I was overdosed with some kind of drug that I cannot remember what. It confused me; I did not take any drug. I only drank beer and juice that Mikee keep on giving me that night then it came to me, Mikee drugged me. He was the jock who only wanted the hot slutty girls in school. I kept on thinking, I am not a slut! I couldn’t be! And I started to cry. What have I become?! A monster! A horrific monster!

After I was send home from the hospital. I soon found out the persona I saw behind Jason was his girlfriend. It tore me apart that me, being his best friend (and hidden admirer), did not know he was falling in love with someone else. The girl was Cassie; she was one of our friends who were not pretty but smart and simple. Another thing was that I was forced to stop seeing Jason; my parents thought he was bad influenced to me and teaching me things that were inappropriate. I cannot believe my life was slowly shattered by a simple goal, to be with someone I love so much. I talked to Jason one time and asked him to meet me up in the park. There I told him everything, my love confession, my transformation and my family’s decision. He just kept quiet and turned his head down. The very last words he told me that broke my heart to pieces were “I loved you, Jessica. I did but you changed and that made me realize you are not the one for me. I am sorry I have Cassie now. Sorry”

That night everything changed I focused on my studies and became valedictorian. I never wanted to fall in love again, I was afraid that I will experience the worst sensation in the world, getting hurt by love.

Stage 5: True love

I was now in college. Years passed since the night I last talked to Jason and the only thing in my mind now was academics. I did not go out to party with my roommates. I was becoming myself again, the lonely and socially deprived girl. But one thing did not change I still don’t forget to fix myself whenever I go out. I was no longer unpleasant to look at yet I was not slutty. I was pretty in that sense and many guys tried to ask me out on a date but I kept on rejecting them.

During my stay on a friend’s house as we were doing a chemistry project, she introduced me to his cousin Carl, I never wanted to talk to him yet I was forced to. He kept on asking me questions about me that irritated me so much. His words were like nails on a chalkboard. Then I snapped. I couldn’t stand it anymore and I went outside to the garden and sat down a bench. As I looked at the moon and the rose bushes smiled at me. I asked myself “Will I grow old, as a lonely and single woman?” That thought frightened me but still rejection and fear of being hurt concealed that idea.

I was getting cold so I stood up holding the cup of coffee in my right hand and a book on the other and –splat. I bumped into a guy and burned his hand with the coffee. I started to panic and dropped the book. I rushed him inside and put his hand over the sink and kept it under running water. He just kept on laughing as I was panicking. I then stopped and looked at him. He said to me “You know what. It doesn’t hurt that much. So stop being terrified. Hahaha! It’s only a little burn it will surely be gone by tomorrow” I was pissed off by his laugh and apologize and left the room. That night as I was sleeping I asked my friend if he knew a guy with black hair, Japanese looking, and has a terrible sense of touch. My friend just laughed and said that is my half brother. His name is Lee. I just smiled and slept.

That morning when I woke up Lee was the first person I saw and I don’t know if I was going to be annoyed or something but then I smiled at him. It was unusual for me to do that to a guy but then again I did it. He smiled back with his eyes almost gone; he was so cute and cuddly. He grabbed my hand and gave me my book. I told him “I am sorry about last night. Is your wound ok?” he quote “Oh that is nothing. I always get hurt. Pain for me is like birds nesting on a tree, so common yet I am used to it.” That was then when I started to feel the same sensation when I had my first love. This time it was something real. I did not have to be somebody else in front of him.

A few months passed and we started dating. I opened my heart once again to a guy and hope that he will no longer hurt me like my very first love. He was different from the guys I knew. I have different guy friends but they were not like him. He is free-spirited and loves to make me smile and laugh. He was romantic and every time he we go out to eat; he brings me to his family’s house and ate lunch with his family. It was, for me, true love.

Stage 6: Final Love

I never knew love would feel this great. I never wanted to leave him but still I was sceptical about his feelings for me. He might be one of those guys who only wanted to have sex with me so I tested him. I brought him to my apartment and told him to lie down in bed with me and ask him to take my clothes off. I was at the same time scared at what I was saying and hoping he will pass the test. He sat down beside me, held my shoulder and his hands slowly moved from my shoulder to my hands. He was caressing me and it felt good but still my mind was focused on the test. He then moved my long hair away from my ear and slowly approached my neck. At that time I closed my eyes and kept on swallowing chunks of saliva down my throat. I was scared as hell! Then he whispered “I will not do anything to you. If you want to have sex with me, can you please wait until we get married?” I instantly opened my eyes and hugged him. He was at first confused and I told him about the test. He smiled and kissed me on forehead and told me that I looked like a nervous camel as he was caressing me. I just laughed and for the very first time in my life I felt the most realistic and awesome sensation of finding my last and final love.

Final stage: Love that lasted forever

It was Valentine’s Day and we were on our 7^th year as a couple. We both have fine jobs. He works in a travelling agency and I work in a Science institute. That night he told me he wanted to show me something. I kept on asking what but he refuses to tell me. A few days ago he was acting really strange. I kept on having this vibe he is going to propose to me but then I did not want to hope for something like that and get disappointed in the end.

So I followed him and we said if he could blindfold me. That was when I started to get excited yet nervous. I kept on hearing in my ears “I Do I Do I Do” and my heart started to beat so fast and my hands were shaking as he held it. Then we stopped walking, he took the blindfold off and there it was...... a huge sculpture for his company. I was disappointed and just sarcastically smiled at him. I took the blindfold off my neck and dropped my head on the floor. He grabbed me and took me inside the building. He said he wanted me to meet a few people. So I just said ok and still was upset. As the elevator door opened we were on the rooftop of the building and right in front of us was a small little girl holding a little remote. Lee told me to approach her and the girl told me to press the button. As I touched the button a group of balloons flew in and below it was a banner quoted “Jessica? Will you marry me?” I did not know what to say! Then I heard music playing and there he was. Holding a red rose and he dropped to his knee and brought out a ring. I was speechless and could not open my mouth. I then hugged him and saw my family with his family and a few other friends walking towards us cheering and clapping.

3 months later we got married and now we are expecting our very first child. I thought that happy endings only happen in books and that true love is only a myth. I hope my life serves as an inspiration to people who got broken up because of a bad relationship. Remember that God has lots of plan for us and that however we wish to avoid the fatal arrows of cupid. True love will always find its way to shoot our hearts.

THE END
