Persevering & Love (lessons from myths)
Being a teen could be a good time. But with a lot of drama, with my stepsisters, home, parents with their fears, and more everything. Those things are all things I have been through. It all began when my mom leave. Life never been easy for me, till I found the real friend. A real friend that help me recognize who I am, and how precious I am. I named the old life, my persevere win. Interpreting my feelings, isn't giving me bad feelings. But for my precedents to know what it is like, I decide to share how my life was, just because it means a lot to me . To let teens of ages to never give up in theirs dreams, as I persevere.
It all began when: The myths, Mom used to read nights, after nights, were the most key of my life. I remember, when I was just ten years old, when my mom, fly away, from home, years ago, and she never come back. As long as I’m growing up, I sometime think she is died on her way back home. No call, from her, no letters from her. Only Dad and me, stayed home, by the cold years. Until, Dad decided to get married. The day, daddy said, “yes, I do”, began the miserable life, at home. I’ve , never forget mom, or never lost, the love I have for dad, even though I can’t see him ,all as I wanted.
I remembered the myth mom related me, night, before she went, to her business meeting in Atlanta. The myth was about the weak girl of the family that suffer with her stepmother since her mom die and also her dad . But finally gain happiness, and joy, by the end of the story the wonder of her dreams. The quote, mom, told me, to never, ever forget is “Late or soon, the day will come, with the wonder of your life.” I’ve never forgotten that quote. I could even remember when I told her to never give up in your dreams is also a very good quote from the story. She just gave me a smile, and I have saved in my memory since then. But, also that smile, my dad told me, it’s my will from my mom. And added, that wherever is mom, she will be near to me at any time I wanted her. That was a really nice saying, but also what make me think that maybe mom, is died. Cause some, of the myths, say that when, somebody you have a profound feeling to, that died, they will be there to you, whenever you call them. But as long as I am growing up, I’ve forgot some, but not the one mom told me about.
After, my dad got married with Nancy, my stepmother a lot of things changed. Nancy, is the Florida governor second child. And now, after daddy get married with her, he get support in his business and start working and have not a lot of time spending with the family. Nancy, and her two girls, Missy, and Lucy moved into our house. Nancy started, commanded me, to do a lot of household works, while her girls are doing their nails, or watching TV.
The first day of school. Dad offered to drop me off, but Nancy with an envy face, entered in the discussion and offered to do it. But the morning, after daddy went to work, she makes me clean every spot of the house. I went to school late, and the more, embarrassing thing was, that it was my first day, in this new high school. I didn’t even have time to go shopping. It wasn’t my fault, it was Nancy’s fault. She lied to dad that we went shopping together. I didn’t knew. If I knew, I’ll wake up early the morning and wait outside till dad came outside, then throw him the truth. Luckily, I am, even though, I don’t have a real family at home, I have one, outside. Karen, Dad’s restaurant manager, was there with me, since we moved here. She is nice, and also Nancy’s enemy. Nancy is the one, that direct the restaurant since dad is occupied. As long as I worked there after school, she knew I didn’t have time to shop. So she brought me, a good looking pant with white design T-shirt of color pink. I love it, and it matched with the shoe dad brought me lately. I slide them on, and put two girl chains on, one was my purity one.
I know they will be seething with rage. And I did, frightfully make them be!! When Nancy and her girls will see, them on me. They were like always, this morning. But not all. After school today. I am going shopping with Karen. She promises me that. And Dad told me that we could take his car. I didn’t feel like going shopping cause I have stuffs, And I went shopping at the mall with my friends at my free time. But I just need new clothes, and some new equipments.
I stepped brightly in, and each one at their spot glared at me. I looked around for a spot to sit, where I could capture the whole room and see the teacher at the front. Slowly I went and sat with a smile on my face. And there is Mrs. Wood that address me, and worthily I answer all the questions she asked, such as my name, age and everything teachers ask, so they know how to comport with the kids. I gained confidence after I answer all the answers smoothly and smartly. After I get a comfortable seat, having my attention on the teacher giving her point of view about how she expects us for the rest of the year. Everything went great with Mrs. Wood. I began to feel like I could have some confidence on her, she will be my confident teacher as Ms. Brown of my old school.
Lunch bell rang. I wisely walked downstairs for lunch. But I didn't told you all. When I sat on my seat in class, a boy sitting next to my sit turn around and look at me and the teacher. It was kind of weird, but I think he just wanted to be friend with me. He never told me his name until lunch. At lunch I didn't know where to be at. I went took my food, walking looking for a place to sit, when I heard my name,
"Angel, Angel, come over here"...
"Hello,..., What is your name anyway?"
" Robby"
"Oh nice to meet you!"
After our greetings, Robby offered me a sit. We sat, eating when his friends came sat down with us. Our conversation was fun. By the way Robby was funny, and cute, I admit, but not in front of him. He also admit to me how smart I am, how I laugh, and how act was so interesting to him. But I just thank with a smile. Robby friends are all in the football team, include Robby. It was fun been with them. I also met some friends who are Robby friends, girlfriends. But weird I did not see Robby girlfriend. I didn't even dare to ask. Maybe later.
After all our conversation, we went to class, for more subjects. The bell rang again, but that time, it reminded us, time to go home. I began packing my stuff, when Robby walked up to me.
"Are you staying after school?" he asked.
"After school? for what?" I asked back.
" Oh yeah, you weren't the first day school"
Then he told me more about the after school programs, and how excited it wass. I love it, but I have to ask my parents first,
"I love it, but I have to ask my parents first" I told.
Ok, I love it, but in what program will I be? I love drama, year book, cheer leading. But I can't do both at the time. I love doing things at the same time. We said good bye with some good bye kiss on the cheek. I have to admit it, his cheek was soft, his touch was smooth, and he smells good, I didn't want to let him go, but I have to.
I never like my stepmother, she doesn't care about me, like her children. So I took it that way. And persevere every time, like the story mom told me about. Yeah, it really did matched. But my Dad still alive, and I don't expect to suffer like the girl, Edwina in the book.
Next day school, Robby was standing by the front of school, when I get out from the car. He came straight to me, when I was saying bye to Dad. Robby came to the car, say hi, and cherish me. With a really respect, he greet dad, but dad blithely greet him back. We went straight to class. Robby was sitting back, next to me. We were talking about class, next teachers, some students, then relationship.
"So, tell me about your life."He demandded
"My life, it is cool, just Ok, and you?" I asked back.
" It's cool. But I'll ask you, then you answer my questions," he added.
"OK," I answered.
"So, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Nope, and you, a girlfriend?"
"Nope, why? wanna be mine?" he asked.
"You are such a barbarism boy" I told him.
Yeah, he sure is. You ask if I have a boyfriend, I said no, then ask him back he said no, if I want to be his! He is such a fool boy, but just funny, not weird.
"Why? I'm just asking, is something wrong?" he asked again.
"Yeah, can't you heard what you just ask?"
"yup,if you want to be my girlfriend?"
"Don't be stupid, Robby."
"Ok, fine don't believe me then, we're having a game today,and after the game, a party will be be trow at my house, unfortunately, cause I am the captain."
"Unfortunately? you are, the captain of the football team, you should be proud, of yourself."
"yup, and I am, the problem is, the team we're playing with today, if we win, they could revenge, but if we don't we will still have party, but mad."
"Oh, I hope everything will be cool."
"So you're coming over?.''
"sure, but I don't know if, I could come to the party. But I'll make a call, and see if I could come over"
Robby was delighted when I told him that I could come over the game at least. We closed conversation. Math teacher came, Mr.Grown, he was called. I found out that Robby was also smart. He has A, on the last test. I told him, at lunch, he just smiled, and said, "It is just a part of me". I felt so good. I called dad, and he said it is cool, that I could stay for the game and party. He offered to come picked me up at the party, but I told him, that, it is not far from home, and I'll come back home along, with some friends. He didn't felt assure, so he asked me to promise to call home, in case something befall.
I promised.
Robby was happy to heard the news. He was more than glad. Me around him all the time, I was thinking, he would be thinking. I think he was serious, about asking me out. But I didn't take it serious. Who don't know guys? I know them, but Robby was different. So after, he went to practice, with his pals, the girls were sitting at the table with me. We were talking.
Suddenly they asked me, to share, the relationship between Robby and me. Nothing is on, I told them. Why? I ask them. They told me about, Robby, and how he behaved, what kind of girl he likes, and how he never had a girlfriend in the school, moreover, how much the cheerleaders like him, but he never cares. Wow, was the first sound, I pronounce as long as, they stop talking. I hardly, believe it, until, I saw his face, when he came back. The first shot of eye I pause on me, make me realize something and believe the story the girls said. His face was innocent, his body looks pure, with the handsome smile on the face. I have the envy to go hug him, and don't let him until he get a look at me and tell me that he really, really likes me. When he came, I went straight to him, and hug him. It was so strange, so I told him, that I need a really warmth hug. Then he asked me, if I would like to get a walk. Yes, I said, the whole day until the end of the party, will be spend with him. I was feeling something when I saw him. The feeling is a tremendous joy. But something is going on, inside of me. We were working by the football field. He was holding my hand, and I enjoy it. He was talking about all he wanted to be, and today's game. He was so cute, every time I looked at him. And I ask him, why, he wanted me to come hang out with him, here on the football field, leading to the garden. He smiles then said. Tonight game, will be dedicate to you. If we win, I will be glad, but much more glad than just won. I will like to share, something with you, at the party. I told him, I am Ok, by that way. We went straight to the garden, just right, by the football field, lend the garden. I never went there before. The area was so romantic, the beautiful flowers, and wonderful moment. The sound of the bird. I stared at him,when he hold my hand, he stared at me. We faced , each other, looking at the inside wonder in each other eyes, getting more closer, more closer, almost touch, then came, Joseph. He came, saw us, and clear his throw.
"I'm pretty sure, I ain't disturb, anything," he said.
"NO!! NO!!" Robby, and I said at the same time. Then we all laugh.
"OK, weird though! The game will start by the next minutes, and the coach is calling us."
"Oh yeah, I'll be there in a minute," Robby said to Joseph.
He looked at me, smile, then said, I love your cheek, when you smile. I just smile again then on, our way out. We went to his car, so I could put my stuff in. We went in, but I kept my little book bag. Robby close the car, then I went sat next to friends, where we could have a good view of the game. The cheerleaders were doing their cheer things to announce the coming of the football stars.
Oh yeah. I didn't told you about my stepsisters, in the school. They are cheerleaders. The girls told me, about them. How Missy and Lucy are popular, and used to like Robby, when they used to be in the same class. I was surprised by the news. But more. Before the football game, I saw Nancy dropping her kids out of the car, with their cheer leaders pom-pom, on the hurry. It was my first day to see the football game in this school. Missy was looking at me, when I was putting my stuff in Robby's car. They do that every time, but don't have time to think about it by that moment. I don't think she is jealous of me. It was weird. How Can Missy, or Lucy, girls with make up, and that every boys are after, didn't make Robby interested to go out with. The last summer they went out with two differences boys. Two of their grandpa, the governor, close friends boys.
The cheerleaders were clapping, and Robby with the football in his hand came in, then cross the line. I am not that good at football. But I knew that somebody with the ball crossing the opponent line win. My friends were also having fine. We were jumping at each time one of our team guy cross the opponent line. The match was almost finished when the rain start raining. Five minutes one minute through the end of the match, Robby mark one more point, that make them champion. It was astonished. They were at 15-15 by the referee almost signal of the end, Robby, run, and make a butte, 16-15, home, won!!! Everybody were happy, but not our opponents. Their faces were, dismayed, and there were the feeling of burglars, on their faces. But nobody didn't care. Robby, were jumping with his laps. The coaches were in enthusiasm. The cheerleaders were jumping together. Even Missy, and Lucy. At least there is something they were good at.
My girls and I ran to Robby, and congratulated them. I've never seem him enjoy like this. So he told me, this game was dedicated to me, that he will do anything to win. I didn't even remember it, until he said. "I told you!" with a big smile. The coaches were calling them to the locker room, so he told me, that he will catch me me later at the front of the school, so we could go to the party together! So I went to the girls locker room to change quickly. I put some new clothes inside, cause I knew I will maybe need something comfortable, in case I get hot and sweat. I'm not sure where I've learn that from but, doesn't matter, I thought.
When I finished, putting my pink frock on, with a looking, smooth jeans, on, and a white shoe, looking sandal on. I walk to the mirror, and put, my shiny lip gloss on. I don't bother to put make up on, cause I look perfect, and moreover, I'm already beautiful. I get ready and put, my small little bag behind. The bag has a form of a monkey, and with my favorite color rose. I open the door, to the gym, coming out from the girls locker room. I close the door behind, me. Then I saw Missy, standing with Robby, lonely by the outside of the gym. Nobody was there only, but them, and me going by their way. I could read the face of Robby, saying, "I'm surprise, You look unbelievable, unbelievable great. Missy, face was red, telling me, "That was a big mistake." I said hi to Robby, and hi I said to Missy. She didn't answer back, with a face of jealousy. Robby, hug me with his arm around my back. I felt so good. But not that good, he was still in the clothes, he puts on, at the practice (and guess what that could be like). Missy, walk away, then told Robby, "think about what I said."
"Is everything Ok?" I demanded Robby.
"Yeah everything is fine. By the way you look great," he admitted.
"Thanks. But was Missy, your girlfriend or something like that?"
"Nope, she is just a girl friend. You jealous already?"
I just smile as an answer, cause I was feeling more than just a friend with him. I didn't really know my feelings. We went to the car, then other group of student and the Robby pals were in other car behind us. In the car, Robby, told me that, the party isn't gonna be at this house cause his Dad is having a dinner with his work colleagues. I wasn't surprise as long as it isn't far way from home. He dropped me off. We slide our self, when we get in. He went upstairs with his friend, to change. That was a great idea I told him, hopefully. He just smile, and told me back, that there will be a payback.
"Get out of here!" I said.
I went to my friends then talking about stuffs . It was a great start. I they admire my dress. Then, Missy and Lucy came in.With all their allure. But I didn't even mind them. We were having a good time, when I feel a smooth hand, and smell a handsome perfume. It feels like Robby's hand. I turn, and, he puts a Blue T-shirt on, with a white pant on, with a white sneakers on. His hair was all comb back, with gel, and look so spiky.
"Now what you think. Need a change again?" He asked
"No, you look cute." I first time told him.
The DJ put a slow dance on, and daters were dancing.
"May I have this dance?"
"As long as You smell sweet. Sure!" I aforementioned.
Our eyes were put on each other's face.
"Great moves" He assumed.
"Thanks. From my mom, I think" I asserted.
"Ok, did she teach you how to do some more moves?" He quiz.
"I'm pretty sure everything" I claimed.
He gets more closer, I get more closer, then almost kiss. When we heard screaming. The team our team play against , the monsters, their name is I think, were there. With breaking woods and glasses in their hands. They were in rage. Every body outdoor run inside then Close the doors behind. Even the boys didn't defy go near them. Robby quickly called 911, and they came within a minute. The monsters get arrested, then we explain everything to the police. Finally, the nightmare was over, and the party went on. One police car stayed up for us so we could be in secure for the rest of the night. Robby, wasn't anxious, neither was I. We were still dancing our slow dance. When my phone rang. I think Dad, was furious cause, it was almost 1:00 am. When I responded to the phone, he asked why I am not home, with an unbalanced voice. But as long as I was prepared to answer, I answer with a sweet voice and saying sorry, and adding that the party just began. But he wasn't satisfied with the answer. So he wanted to pick me up. But I betray to him, that I will be saved, by the company, of a friend. He was cool, with that. I asked Robby, if he could drop me off. He accepted. We walked through the door, when Missy, came to Robby, asking him to dance. Then, told me to better go home that her mom is waiting for me. I looked at her, then told, her, to be ashamed of herself, then I am not going to quarrel with her anymore, so, she could go home and help her mom. Robby, was surprise, looking at us. Then I told him, that I'm waiting outside for him. He said sorry, to Missy, that he can't dance with her. He came to the car, where I was standing. He looked at me, then open me the car. We didn't said anything, until we get to the stop light. When he asked me, how do I know Missy. But I answered him, that she is my stepsister.
"Oh, that's all?" he asked
"Yeah, why?" I asked.
Then my phone start ringing. This time it is Nancy.I didn't answer. Robby, asked why I'm not answering. But I told him, that I'm not ready to heard some unworthy words by my step mother.
"So, my dad, is having a party at home, but I could invite some friends also" He utter.
"Oh, but right now not pretty sure, that could be a yes. Cause, right now, home is burning up." I said to him.
So he dropped me off, then I told him goodbye. But he asked for more. A goodbye kiss.
"Sure." I gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks, I'll miss your coquettish smiles. But I'll test you." he told.
"Oh, thanks, then I smile. I'll miss you too."
I got out of the car, then enter to the house. Dad was watching TV, too late. But he didn't said anything. He just told me to be taking care and called him, when I will get home late. I promised, and went upstairs to my room. For show some respect, I said hi to Nancy. Then, she started yelling to me, that I am late home, and that I should not be in a boy car coming back home. My dad, wasn't satisfied about me coming home with a boy. I wonder what he is thinking right now. "Oh little girl. Think you're growing up?"
But, strangely, he ain't say nothing. I just walked to my room. I took, a quick fresh shower. Mom, picture was there in my room, next to my desk, then I was looking at it, thinking about her, if she was still alive, or the opposite. If dad still miss her? And how life could be better and easier for me and Dad, if she was there. By the whole time I was asking questioning myself. Dad walked to the room. He sat next to me. I didn't have a smile on my face either. He just stared.
"Missing your mom?" He asked
"Yup, why not? been here and listening to my stepmother craps. And her girls, provoking in school?, Do You think it's easy?" I demanded and waiting for an worthy answer. But he ain't.
"I'm just tired Dad. I have nothing in my heart against you. I just need, a real love. I don't see you enough time, and never have a fun time for you and me! I just wish that my mom was here." I said, with tears, sliding on my face.
"I think I understand you. But it is the work. I don't have enough time for home either." He said.
"Yeah you don't! But for work yeah! So what you want me to become? You know nothing, about me, about what I am becoming. And by nothing, I mean, nothing, NADA! RIEN! since my mom was gone. I just accept the way things are. But there is something left I would like to tell you. Right here, right now, with my hand on heart, I could feel the presence of my mom, and whatever you think happen to her, and you marry somebody else. Then, I think, you could know this, I could never, ever forget my mom, Love! Never! Daddy! never!" I declared with belief.
"My daughter, you don't understand" he said
"What don't I understand? that you miss mom? or that you're in love with Nancy? Tell me daddy, just tell me!" I asked him
"Honey, I don't want to bring up, my diary stories, princess. I know you miss your mom. (sight) I know you miss your mom, And I do too." He said.
"Ok, I got you, but if you really like her then? it's late never mind. Bed time." I told him, then get in my bed sheet, cover myself, whispered goodnight.But No love you.
" Honey, sorry, if I have hurt you, but know that, I love you, and I can't loose you too. You are the most richness I have right now, and forever. So you know that Halloween is coming?" He asked
"Yeah, duh, I go to school, and write date of days and I could probably know that Halloween is in less than one week." I answered.
"So would you like to go to A friend of mine party, he is organising?" He asked
" yeah! I will" I answered him
"Goodnight then? And Nancy is going too, no wonder the girls are also" He wispered
I just get calmed and stayed on my bed. I was feeling asleep when my message phone rang. I wonder who it is that late. It was Robby. He wrote me: " Sleep yet? Just wanna said goodnight, and have a Sweet dream... about me... so you going to the party I ask you for? it's on Halloween day."
I called him, back, cause I can't be typing everything I want to tell him. So I called him. He answered.
I told him that I was sorry. That I wish I could come, but I promised to my dad that I would go with him. His voice get a little anxious, but I make it be worthier, by making jokes, and funny stories. He was so glad, then he finally said. I wish you were next to me. I asked him why?
He said " I jut miss you so much, your coquettish smiles."
"Aw, so sweet. I miss you too. But I think we could see each other over in the break, maybe the park and everything." I told Robby.
"Sweet!" he said. "So we could meet tomorrow?"
"Nah, I gotta go shopping for the Halloween dance, and a mask. I might be like Cinderella." I told him, then ask him, if that will be a good matching?
"Yeah, and I might be the prince, don't you think?" He asked
"Yes, maybe! I've got to sleep, talk to you tomorrow prince"
"Sure, my princess. Goodnight, miss you" He opened up
"you too, goodnight." we finally end up.
The days after talk, dad gave me some money, so I could buy what I wanted to wear. But should be with a great company, so I wanted the company of Karen. She was enthusiasm to go with me. At the mall, we found a pretty gorgeous dress, I've never seen. It looks like a princess dress. I brought it,without spending a minute of view. And also, the sellers offered us, a pretty white mask that match on it, and also some pairs of shoes. I was so delighted by just buying this dress.
On Halloween day night, I got my dress on, Karen help me, with some make up on. Dad and Nancy and the other girls were waiting downstairs for me. While I was walking downstairs, their face were liking it, Dad was surprise, the girls were also, but with envy.
"You look, FABULOUS, unexpectable" He said.
"Thanks" I smile.
Karen looked at me, then walked with me outside. She was going too. Dad wanted me to be with him in the car , and Nancy, but, Nancy didn't let him talked. So I told him, that I was OK. That I will be at Karen's. But he offered us, to ride in his new car.
Then he added, "I can't let a beautiful princess in one of my weak car. You have the key, then follow us."
"Thanks Daddy!" I shouted.
Then we get in the car, the girls and Nancy were so jealous that they can't even breath. But I didn't mind them, I am enjoying my life and believing one day to find a paradise and a handsome prince and live in our beautiful kingdom, with our children.
We arrived to the party. I wasn't expecting it. It was in the whit house. I told Karen, that we might be lost. But she, said that it was a surprise. I shouted loud, and hoping anyone heard how crazy I am. Cause I didn't to be rejected by the bodyguards. After we pose up our cars, Dad, came to me, and open me the door, as of I was a real princess!" I enjoy it, just enjoying it!
we walked to the door, dad show his pass and it was VIP, wrote down on it. I asked him, how he did this? He told me that his work has a lot of things and work to do with the government and the white house, including the President affairs so, he got a chance to met the President second son, that really like the way he worked and invited him. I was so happy. I thank him a lot, and he said, yeah, it was a surprise. I wanted you to have fun. We approached to our sit, and I could see the president by the table not far from us but with bodyguards around him. Mr Duiphus, was the friend dad was talking about. I was sitting next to DAD. Mr. Duiphus came then, greet us, then greet me
" Nice to meet you, Mrs. Zefron." He address me then kiss my hand
I get up nicely, with my hand on his and respect and told him:
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Duiphus, but, there is some mistake, I am Ms Zefron, And this is Mrs Zefron and their children, and my adorable Karen, my cousin. Karen and the rest were surprised of my behavior, and how I didn't want to said that Karen was just a girl working at my dad restaurant. But she was more than that. She gets up and present herself nicely. The rest of the table also.
"Great call, princess." dad said.
"thanks, it's just a part of me, let's just say, the beginning" I answered.
" Ms. Duiphus, nice to meet you. You look gorgeous that I can't even know that you are daddy baby girl, and pretty respectful girl." He cautioned
"Thanks, Mr, Douphuis." I admitted
Nancy, Dad, was also there. He liked me too. He was a nice man. But I wondered how a man like this, could have an evil woman like Nancy.
I greeted him too. Daddy, and Mr Douphuis left us for greet some known people. I volunteered to go but can't. Mr. Douphuis, told me that his family will be her in a moment, to not worry, that the party will be fine. That his son, has some invited friends too. I accepted the result then sat down. I heard Missy and Lucy giggling talking about their plans and how to catch up with Mr. Duiphus son. I was smiling at the one's that e=are looking at me and talking to Karen about girls affairs. Then I got a called. it claimed., Robby. I answered, then he told me that his arty was going on. That he wished I was there with him, that the place is so beautiful that he really wanted me to come. I just told him, that I wished too. But to just be missing me, so I could never be tired of my presence,. He just laugh and said" You could never make me tired, girl". I laugh. then he told me that his dad was calling him, and he has to go greet some people. It was OK, I told him. Then we turn off the phone.
Mr Duiphus, and daddy came. They sat, but his time, Mrs. Duiphus came too. The table was reversed for families. So we have two people table are left. We greeted Mrs. Duiphus, when Robby came to the table. I recognize him, but he didn't. Missy also do. Robby, face was surprise when he saw Missy. Missy, enjoy it then greet him.
"So you already know each other?" ask Mr. Duiphus
"Yeah, we go to the same school Dad." Robby answered.
"So you might know, Ms. Zefron?" he asked his son
"Yeah, is she here?" He demanded with an excited face.
"She is the one sitting in front of you. Maybe you might not recognize her by her mask."
''Angel?" He addressed me
"Yeah, Robby! Your prince costume look pretty nice" I told
'Thanks, but you are nicer than me? wow, what u doing here?" he asked
"I'm with my dad, told you about the Halloween party I told you about?" I remembered him
"Yeah, So your dad, is Mr. Zefron? He is a nice man. I have met him several times, when I'm at my dad work." He said
'Yeah, pretty nice man. Thanks. And he is my dad." I answered
Then we began talking. Karen was having fun also. Dad, Nancy, and Duiphus family were talking about work and, then their costumes. they were making fun, of their Halloween avatar. Mr.Duiphus, and Dad look like old friends now. You could tell, by the way they are talking.
Dinner served Time for couples to be dancing. The president and his wife get in the ball dance first, long with the rest of his tables, then the VIP members. Daddy, Nancy were dancing, and also were Mr Duiphus, and Mrs. Duiphus. Missy and Lucy, were also on the dance floor, they were with some Robby team friends. They can't stand the way Robby and I, were talking. Then Robby, ask me for dance.
"I can't leave Karen lonely, that will be mean" I told him
"OK, nice girl, I'll take care of it. How old is she?" He asked
"Eighteen years old." I answered.
"OK, awesome!'' he shouted
he called his cousin, Edward to be Karen company. And Guess who it is. A TV actor. Karen favorite actor. I was so surprise to meet him. I asked Karen to ask for autograph for me. So Robby and I were dancing. It was a nice couple. Daddy was looking at me also was Karen. And Karen looks like having fun with Edward too. Mr.Duiphus came then, provoke us with a joke, that was Robby dream, saying" Nice couple". i just smiled at him, and he gave a smile to Robby. then said
"She is a nice girl, I give you permission to date if it's her."
My Dad laugh, and added " Nice one, pretty cute couple." then they left.
I looked at Robby face then he smiled at me. Also did I. He ask me to come with him. We walked by the pool, holding each other hand. I am feeling in love. Yeah it's call love. But i never told him so. Robby told me to get in there, and that he will ask for something comfortable for me to wear. I get in the room, taking my wet dress off. Then I heard a knock. I get out of the bathroom and the were a beautiful dress, on the bed, and a writing saying, "quick change, the party still going on." The lady was here to help me get dress. And do my hair.. After she finished, she told me that Robby, asked to tell me, after I'm done to give him a sign. I thank the lady. Then she is gone. I text Robby, that I'm done. And in five minute he knocked at the door and I let him in. He looked at me and said.
"You look beautiful"
'Thank, and Thanks for the dress. That was nice.
I should be on my way home, if you weren't here to help me" I told him
"No, I won't let you go." he said.
I smiled at him. I went by the window and the window is faced by the white house garden.
"It's so beautiful" I said
''You are beautiful than this" He said
Then I turned to him, he get closer to me. I looked into his eyes, that were doing the same thing. He puts his hands on my hips, and I put mine on his smooth face. Finally each other dream come true. Our first kiss.
"This is all I have been dreaming for since I saw you" Robby said
"This is the most sweet guy I've ever met" I said to him.
And we kissed again
"I love you" He said with a really cute voice that I can't resist.
"I love you too" I told him
we get to the room, but can't stop. Until I told him " Deep breath"
For you only you, We have a lot of time to spend together. It's just the beginning. Wait for a second."
He gave me a kiss on my forehead. "I love you"
"You are my princess"
"And you are my prince"
"And this is our kingdom" We said together
Now I have found my real love. He loves me and I love him. I have and believing in myself and never give up, for have just a beautiful day like this. If I was mean like my stepsisters, today, I will be desperate like them. My kindness with the Duiphus family make my dad have a job at the ministry with Robby's Dad. And the most excited news is that, Americans that have been in Atlanta are all saved. The news are saying, they have been hiding in a secure place, and some people that have been there for more than 10 years are all save. Some old people have been died but most of them re still alive. The government apologized for the families that have their family members in Atlanta, that were safe but cannot make called home, because the war going on, make the communication not available. The Best thing is that. the feeling I have been feeling in my heart in 10years, that my mom still alive was true. My mom was alive. Dad and Nancy get divorced. The day mom was coming back home., Robby, dad, me were at the airport. Even Mrs. Duiphus came, cause her husband was busy and can't come. When i saw mom, I have a pretty wild unexplainable Joyce inside my heart. I hug her. Then told her, Yeah, the myths happen and are come true hen you respect the lesson given. This is my prince Robby. She saw Robby and greet him. She also greet, Mrs. Duiphus. When she gets to dad they start kissing. That was a really joy day, and some crying but, cries of missing and love. Dad still in love with mom. Mom didn't changed. She is still healthy as before. We went home enjoy some meal. the Duiphus family and Zefron family got alliances since that day, I show respect. Believe and take care of self until day of the prince to come. Believing and making in practice myths lessons. Our family is now happy. Robby and I are went to University. We got graduated. And married. We have two kids. A boy and girl, fruits of love of Robby and angel. Every time before bed, I told my children myths or stories and sometimes mine to them. Mom sometimes tell them more excited stories that I've never knew of. Even Robby and I sat there and enjoying the stories. "Good night angels and Robby's fruits we kissed our child before got to bed". And never give up in your dreams!
