I'm standing on a kind of bridge, the breeze brushes every part of me and my hair flutters to the sound of its waves, it's cold and my skin prickles. It's like a kind of soothing, everything is dark lit by the stars, some houses and lighted lanterns are projected onto the water it turns black at night. My breath is cold and I can see how it meets the air.
I can hear a voice in the distance calling me, but I ignore it and continue to cast my eyes on the landscape from where I am standing. Until I decide to jump into that deep dark water, the last thing I was able to visualize is a few stars in the sky and a blurred figure extending what appears to be his hand. From one moment to another everything becomes blurry and disappears as if everything were just smoke, it vanished.
-Willow
-Willow wake up
I hear they call me from afar, but who is it?
-Willow, Willow
Willow: Mmm- with a slight yawn I open my eyes and find Silvia's face a little close to mine
Silvia: I thought you would not wake up, the dream was good?
Willow: Actually, I do not remember very well, but had a nice view to the sea
Silvia: Hmm, it sounds interesting. I dreamed I was on a mountain camping and suddenly began to rain, you do not think it's something annoying that you can not remember dreams well?
Willow: yes, very annoying- it is so cold that I can see our breath, it is really very close to me, what should I do? Kiss her? Get away a little?
Silvia: Willow?
Willow: yes? - Our eyes collide and I feel like my heart begins to beat with speed, what's wrong with me?
Silvia: Your lips are dry, I have something that can help you with that
Willow: "Do I have dry lips?" -I see how she looks for something in her pocket and takes out a lip balm between her thin fingers
Silvia: Will you allow me?
Willow: What? - I feel my heart race, it's really close
Silvia: put on some silly lip balm- she shows me a beautiful little smile making my heart stop for a second, she's very beautiful, wait what am I saying?
Willow: Ladies first- what the fuck am I saying? Because she acted like that and most importantly, who is this me
Silvia: But what gentleman- I see how she smears the lip balm and makes a small smile with her lips, what's wrong? It is as if, all I could see is her lips, this is not me, who or what is this me? - Now you come gentleman - smear the lip balm on my lips, I see her eyes while she is busy looking at my lips. I feel like I'm bewitched.
Silvia: ready, now- she fixes her gaze on my eyes and runs one of her fingers across my lips slowly, I don't know how I'm doing at this point, but I'm here so I'll keep moving forward
Willow: now what? -I bite delicately that finger of hers and I slowly loosen it from my teeth, I feel my face heat up a bit and I see Silvia in the same state.
Silvia: I don't know - I put one of my palms on her cheek, making her release a little air
Willow: but I-I move a little closer to hers her lips when she comes forward and kisses me.
Everything suddenly turns white, it's just her and me, I close my eyes and we kiss, my whole world has been painted a pink color and I feel like some butterflies escape from my heart and flutter in my stomach. The kiss is slow and very affectionate, I feel as if time will not exist and we are just the two of us in a vacuum. I like her, but I have to be sure of what I feel before deciding these things.
Before we part, she bites my lower lip and I give her a pick and she responds by giving me another. I open my eyes and see her with dilated pupils, I think I'm the same.
Silvia: I ... I'm sorry, I didn't know what was happening and
Willow: don't worry, I didn't know what happened either, so you don't have to apologize- she takes my cheek with the palm of her hand, making me look her straight in the eye
Silvia: Do you want to go out with me one day?
Willow: sure, now you want to go out with me some other day?
Silvia: Hey, I invited you first
Willow: yes, but I did it later
Silvia: I don't understand
Willow: when I finish the first date that you proposed to me, another day we will do the second I mean the one that I proposed
Silvia: I understand, well, we should go
Willow: yes - I give her a kiss before we get up
Silvia: hey
Willow: what? We have to go, right, I help her up and we both go home.
I open the door and lie on my bed, I'm too weary to clean up my mess and I have no appetite at the moment so the best thing would be to get some sleep.
Before closing my eyes a fleeting thought passes through my mind "what will happen between Silvia and me? But more important than was that dream? Perhaps some premonition?"
After thinking for a while, I fall sound asleep between my sheets.
I wake up in a valley full of pink roses, with a smell of gum, I think this and the smell of chamomile I think will be my favorite scents, the changing color of my roses is because of the feelings I have in some moments now I know. But what is the smell? A person? The fragrance of him or maybe my memories? I have to dig deeper into all this, if I find a meaning in everything in this valley, maybe and only maybe I can reach the end of this path of roses and finally reach the light. But my question is, what will I lose and what will I win? - I look behind my back and I can see a little far the bed of thorns that is adorned with some previous roses, right behind it is the old house of my parents, where my fears were and it made me the person I am today, but it is Time to move on with a small smile until something stops me again.
