One night love story

A Story by Light

This is my first story and I would really like to hear some comments about it.

Some people tend to think that love from the first sight does not exist but the truth is that they think like that only because they never felt it. Not all of us had an opportunity to experience this feeling. It’s not even a feeling it’s a gift that is given only to ones who believe. This emotion is so strong that it can incapacitate even the most rational mind.

If you don’t believe I will tell you one of my personal stories and then you can decide by yourself if love from the first sight exists. My name is Mark Griffin and I’m going to tell you my love story which lasted only few hours but left a deep wound in my heart.

It all started on December 22^nd as every year our family went to my aunt’s house to celebrate Christmas eve. It was typical winter holidays. However on this day I received a phone call from my good friend Jack. He wanted to invite me to his New year’s celebration party. This man was literally an animal he always thrown best parties. I accepted his invitation immediately because I knew that his party will be legendary. He promised that a lot of girls will be in the party. I knew that he is telling the truth to be honest for about a year I was trying to find a right girl for me but I was disappointed many times. I thought that maybe in this party I will meet the one I have been looking for.

All other days until New year’s were typical. I think it seemed to me that way only because I was really looking forward to Jack’s party. Finally the December 31^st came. I was so excited I was choosing clothes all day because I wanted to look really good to impress girls. I haven’t even noticed when the evening came I took my phone and valet and headed straight to Jack’s house.

When only few blocks were left until his house I already heard loud music. Knowing Jack’s style I instantly thought that it must be coming from his party and I was not mistaken. His house looked like it can explode anytime. When I came inside I saw a lot of people having a blast. I thought that I should find Jack and then start drinking. I took me a while but I was able to find him. He was barely standing. Funny thing is that it was exactly how I imagined I will find him. I just wanted to say hi but there was no talking to him so I joined everybody. For few hours I was drinking and dancing so eventually I thought that It would be a great idea to get some fresh air. I went to the balcony.

Jack house was on a high hill and from his balcony I was able to see all the city. It was really beautiful view but I was too drunk and too exhausted to see it’s true beauty at that moment. While I was there catching my breath some girl entered the balcony too.

One word after another and we started a really long conversation about all sort of things we just could not stop talking to each other. And the more we chatted the more I was starting to fall for this girl. Of course I did not express all of my feelings to her at that moment because it would have been just too weird. We did not even realize that we were talking in the balcony for about two hours. Then suddenly we heard that someone was yelling that only two minutes were left until the cloak hits twelve o’clock. I thought that this is my chance to make the first move I said:

She blushed a bit and did not say a thing we were standing were in complete silence until we heard the counting. Everyone yelled:

<TEN, NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX…>

We both were still standing there without making any move and when we heard that only two seconds were left until the new years she got closer to me put her arms around me and on the second cloak hit the twelve o’clock she kissed me. I was stunned I wanted for that moment to last forever. After a long kiss we watched the fireworks. It was a breathtaking view just thousands of lights in all sorts of colors exploding and expanding in the sky in all the possible shape there is it could even be called the dance of the lights.

Suddenly it hit me that we were talking for about two hours but we did not even introduce ourselves to each other I turned to her but to my surprise she was gone. I ran inside like a madman and started asking everyone if anyone saw that girl. But it was no use the people I asked were just too drunk to even talk normally. Even in the morning I did the same thing but no one had any idea who she was even Jack did not know about what girl I was talking about. I tried to find out who she was for about a week but finally I gave up.

The funny thing that I was only twenty-three years old back then and now I’m fifty �"four and I have a lovely wife and two beautiful children but until this very moment I just can’t forget that two hours I spent with the girl who I thought was the love of my life.
