MY CHARMING PRINCE

It was a beautiful summer day. It seemed as if the sun shines more than usual and the blue sky lightning flashed through the beautiful shapes that cast clouds turn, looked like cotton balls.

I was 18 and I was full of life and joy to see such a wonderful spectacle. Along with my sister Sophia, a brunette, tall, long black hair in his short 16, we expected a young man who constantly promised her the heaven and earth, who invited us that day to come to his house to enjoy a pleasant summer afternoon.

When he was arriving, I could see the figure of a beautiful man next to the boy who was behind my sister’s love. Everybody was finally face to face; my sister was the happiest being in life when her boy took her by the hand and begun courting. Meanwhile, my heart was smitten with the beautiful greens eyes, juicy red lips and wavy golden hair of my brother in law companion. It was his younger brother Daniel. Our eyes immediately met and our hearts beat, but my reason begun telling to my broken heart: “He is just another heartbreaker with pretty face” and I remembered all the scars I had on my heart as a result of the hits of love, so, when he begun speaking to me, I try to be very impolite.

The day became gray to me, and an insider voice was telling to my heart to not pay so much attention to that deceitful man while he was doing his best to show me his big heart and he was showering me with his attentions. The time was flying away, my pores where sweeping and my heart was beating and beating and beating. It was obvious that I could not avoid any more the beat of my heart that was thumping by the constantly rhythm of fluttering butterflies in my stomach and my longs were without air. "He is my charming prince" I finally thought, I had to accept the reality and tell my heart that love was knocking the door again. My sudden love was reciprocated by that prince who should never have been a toad judging by their flawless and angelic figure.

Today, five years later, I still feeling in my stomach fluttering butterflies and the same accelerated throb of my heart when I see that character from that bright sunny summer day became my charming prince.
