Episode 1.
I am only 19 years old, I am a student, alone and I have no baaani … and I really didn't, I just asked my parents to pay a dance course. I had seen a butterfly for dance, standard and Latin courses, for 3 months at the Student House in Bucharest, and I told myself that it was a good opportunity to meet girls. I, the one who looks left and right and takes no step. And, as I was used to staring at someone, at the registration, when to climb the steps, I did not miss the opportunity. I saw two girls descending. I looked at the first, he smiled at me, I looked at the second, she smiled too and I was fixed, until he told me:
– Why do you look at me?
– I like how you smile! -I said around and continued my way to registrations, while they went to the exit.
On the day of the first course, what to see, they were in the same group with me. At the first sessions, I practiced the basic steps individually. Then we were going to make pairs. Uau, I told myself, pair? So easy to be? With an apparent confidence in me, but red still in his cheeks, I turned to her and started to dance.
– Gabi! – I say there.
– Dana! – she says. He had natural, blond hair, caught in a way not to come to his eyes, a red blouse and sandals with straps and heel, as he was probably asking for the course.
The courses were held twice a week. I felt so good with her, that I had started counting the days until the next course, just to see her again. Every time he approached, my heart was beating.
Only the end of the course for beginners was approaching, and I had not taken a concrete step and here the day of competition had arrived for the intermediate stage. She, confident in her own strengths, I air, thinking about her, I beet her. And I begged for everything. I did not drive it properly, I probably stepped on it, so that the poor girl started to cry. He told me that he had come to dance classes, not to find someone, and that he wanted to go on. But, because I was unable to drive it, everything was over.
What? How did it end? You can not! And give her the next few days, and she nothing, she closed my phone. That's how I decided to go to college with a red rose, I wait for her to get out of sports. It was the second year of medicine. He didn't expect to see me. He sat next to me on a bench, but I felt it left, as if he didn't know how to escape faster. I saw a coin on the floor, leaned down and said:
– This is our luck.
– It's your luck! She said around.
Seeing that I had no chance of success, I said goodbye to her and left my head forward, as if nothing had happened. Just another girl I missed.
Episode 2.
I am only … 29 years old, I am alone, I work, I have something baaani …
I was sitting on Facebook and had just appeared a notification that it was Dana's day. I wished them “Happy Birthday!” And I asked her what she was doing. He replied that well and work. I didn't notice it for a period. It had been 10 years, but I was still upset that he had rejected me.
Then I began to ask her for one, the other, and, at the peak, she answered me, but never immediately, just when you didn't expect it. Until, after about 2-3 months of Messenger, I proposed to see you.
– When?
-Well, after the program, we meet where we met!
And we saw ourselves at the Student Culture House. Not much had changed, only the dance school was no longer. But when I reviewed it, it was, as if I locked myself. I had not overcome rejection. Later he even told me that I was like a turtle that closed in the carapace, alluding to the fact that I was not free to feel feelings.
Finally, I drove her to the trolley station and, at one point, I don't know how the discussion had done, but he had started to jump, and I said, ”
– … And what do you mean, I'm your half?
Eyes seemed a little stressful?!, I don't know, it was evening, on an autumn day, he nodded!
– You had to decide for 10 years!
Well, how do you not scream when you hear that? Not to take all your nerves? 10 years taken on the water of the Saturday, I alone, without any relationship, and she, passed through 2 relationships, and even one that left her serious sequels.
But as the next day I had to go by car to the province, at the abandoned house of my grandparents, I proposed to come with me, if he was happy. I usually went alone on a walk, I was surprised to hear it was coming. I told him to dress thicker, that we would go to the hill area. The next day, not to admit it. She came dressed as a child, hungry all in a winter jacket, and with a hood on her head!
In the car I put what music I liked, the genre What's up his DJ Rynno & Sylvia, J. Yolo, only good on the long road. She told me it sounds sad, because the lyrics were talking about sadness. But for me the rhythm mattered.
When we returned, we kissed in the car and something lit there between us, because we invited her to the back seat. I did not go far away, because it was cold and somewhat uncomfortable, the world was passing through the parking lot, but it was nice. She didn't expect to go so far either.
After a month or two I proposed to move to me. I wanted to recover the time lost. Plus, what relationship is that you only see on the weekend? We wanted to sleep together.
