Starring out at the ocean like I have done countless times before I saw
her
eyes. Those soulful mesmerizing eyes that I for one cannot understand
that
no one loved or not want to love. She deserved love, the kind for
which no
one takes advantage of. The kind I know I want to give. But she
doesn’t
want me, I could never make her happy, I am not rich, on the right
social
track, a local as others would say, I am just the maids son who has
fallen
in love with her. I think I fell so hard, so fast, and deep that it
took me
so long to realize it. I feel a connection that goes on before we even
met.
I must be crazy now saying this, and I scold Theresa for believing in
the
nonsense of fate, true love, and falling for a Crane. Where am I when
I
need a good lecturing? I here sitting on the beach thinking about the
one
thing I really need to live and beating myself up for it.
He’s looking at me as if I am a figment not really here. He’s
thinking to
hard about something I, him, we, have taken so long to realize. I
don’t
care what the hell my father thinks or anyone else for that matter. I
love
him. I love the maid’s son. A local as my father would say. He doesn’t
want
me for anything else but me. Why hasn’t anyone else ever realized
this.
Noooo I was looking too hard for someone to love me. Then I fall for
the
one person I can’t stand….hate….no, love, honest from the front, no
hidden
ambitions.
“You know what I think we need to talk” Luis said in an asking tone.
“Well
you know everytime we talk one of us always has to win” Sheridan
replied
with a small smile playing on her lips. “I think this time maybe we’ll
both
win for once.” He replied with the smile always made her heart skip a
couple
of beats. “For us that’ll definitely be a first.” She said as she
turned to
him looking him square in the eye. “but hopefully not a last” again
stating
in what seemed to be an asking tone. “Luis what’s wrong, I always
thought
we got along better than we led everyone else on to believe” she asked
with
this worrying look in those eyes as if she was going to lose something
very
dear to her.
“You’ve been around the world, to a lot of places right?” he asked
“Sure,
but this is where I belong or at least I hope so” she replied “How
many
colors have you seen?” he asked bewildering her. “Why? What does that
have
to do with anything?” she disclosed “just answer” he pleaded “I don’t
know,
probably lots what are you getting at?” she acknowledged with even more
bafflement.
“I have lived in Harmony my entire life, really never traveled anywhere
else, and I have seen the skies and the ocean here in Harmony, seen
them in
all shades of blue. I have seen blue I think a million different ways.
But
when I saw your eyes I could honestly say I never saw blue like that
before”
he expressed while still looking at those eyes of wonder. “and I think
I
have fallen in love with them….” He established awaiting what the next
words
would be coming from those lips that matched her so perfectly. “I know
I
have fallen in love with brown puppy eyes of yours.” She said matching
him.
“See I told you we would both win” he told her as they finished talking
and
started something that was there before them, and would continue for
eternity.
