Snowy Dreams
As the music falls swiftly between the seats and
around the two figures in the back seat, steam begins to place itself on the windows.
The comfort of warmth makes its presence known subtly to its enchanters. Small
noises are magnified, as the simple pleasurable sounds are made; the soft sound
of clothes touching, the sound of moving bodies on the fake leather material.
The sound of breathing depicting a picture for those who cannot or simply do
not wish to see such a sight of art be created, lets the audience know when
things are slowing down and when things are picking up.
The brightness from the sun is magnified and
scattered by the elegant snow that is the earth's blanket; causing an
illuminated glow of some kind. Smiley kisses are exchanged constantly and passionately
between the two. Happy memories were being created. Just the two of them in a
cold winter land snuggled together in the back seat of a little car, adding
even more closeness.
They
could barely see out since the snow covered the windows pretty good, and what
wasn't covered by the snow, the steam covered the rest. The music created an
atmosphere that really could only be experienced in stories and movies. Gazing
into each other's eyes, they programmed in their minds that they would be different
from all the rest. They knew that what they found was love, what they found was
true happiness...
The couple couldn't wait to tell the mysterious
man they met a few weeks ago what they discovered. For they were told by this
mysterious man, that if they discovered the truth about themselves from each
other, they would live a happy life, but if they didn't heartache would greet
them in their life. After sleeping for a
couple of hours, they got out the car and went inside the house to clean up and
then walked to the park that was nearby to meet the mysterious man at the
designated spot.
When they
arrived, the man was already there, waiting and smiling. The couple held hands
and walked even quicker smiling along the way. The man spoke saying "I see
that you have your answer. Now before you two speak, make sure that the words
you are going to use for your answer, are really what you want to say. You had
time to think about this, but I want to give you one last chance. So let me
know when you are ready." The couple looked at one another, then back at
the man smiling. The young man said, "We're ready to answer."
"So..."the mysterious man said, "What truth did you discover
about yourself from one another?"
"Well..."
the young man began, "We learned that we were meant for each other. That
we have differences just like everyone else, but we can work through them. We
can help each other, by being the strength in the areas where we are weak in. And
we both been hurt before, so we know how to actually love and listen to one
another and work as a team." The couple stood there smiling, squeezing
each other's hand while the mysterious man smiled at them kindly, eyes barely
open. A few moments went by as the three stood there in the park while heavy
snow flakes gently landed on them and around them.
Then the mysterious man spoke. "Your
answer was a good one, a very good one; however I am not pleased to tell you
that your good answer was not the right answer." The couple's smile
drifted away and their hands separated.
"What do you mean it wasn't good
enough?" The young man said with tension in his voice. "What possibly
else could I have said?!" "That's exactly my point young man.",
the older gentleman said. "You did all the talking, never once did you let
the young woman speak, who clearly had words she would have liked to say on her
own. But never once did you let her have a chance.
You spoke of being a team, but I wonder
what definitions you two have for such a word. Young man, you said that both of
you have been hurt, so you know how to love. In what ways have you been hurt
and how have you healed, if at all, from that hurt? You also said that you have
differences like everyone else, but you will get through them. In what ways do
you mean by "get through"? Does that mean you will support her in her
differences and she would the same? Or does that mean that one of you will have
to cease doing what the other does not tolerate, and start doing something the
other loves doing?
In
the past relationships you have encountered, someone has hurt you, before you
could even suspect it. So in this relationship you tried having the final say
so. But if the decision that you made was wrong, you will shift the blame from
yourself and give it to her or someone or something else. You expect for her to
no longer do what she does that you do not like, but when it comes to you doing
something she doesn't like she must deal with it, and accept you for the way
you are since you never were really accepted for who you were by others.
You also have an anger problem, no doubt
which you probably learned from your father, who you hate with a passion for
what he did to you, your brother, and your mother. And it angers you if even a
trace of your father is around in any form.
"Hold on just a second old man!"
the young man said. "Now why are you getting on my case?” he pointed to
himself and then to the young woman, "What about her?! She isn't Miss. Perfect
you know! I had to go through a crap load with her. Why don't you start
hounding her on her imperfections? She can take it."
"You are right my son" the older
man said. "My dear, come here and stand in front of me." The young
woman walked from the young man and walked to the spot the older man spoke of,
and the old man said to her, "In your heart, you say that you love this
man. That you would do anything to make him happy. But in your mind, you have doubt;
you think that you could have someone better than him. You think that if you go
through with being with him that it would wreck your chances of experiencing
your dreams, of doing what you want to do.
Yes
you have been hurt before. By men who abused you by taking advantage of you,
and causing you to be always submissive. You haven't completely healed from
that, but you have learned how to love in a different way. Instead of being concerned
about the person that you are in a relationship with, you have flipped the
script and now you play the possessive submissive. You say that you are
concerned about the young man's needs, but you know and I know that is not
entirely true. You were the one in the relationship, who actually wanted to
take it to the level you just experienced moments prior to this meeting. He did
not, but you insisted by using your charm and your so called “innocence”, to
have him think that he really wanted to do it, but he wanted to be nice for
your case, and in doing so, he would be rewarded for such honor by having the
honor to be with you."
The young woman was red in the face and
speechless, as well as the young man who looked from the older man to the young
woman, and became very angry. "So all that this geezer is saying is true
huh?! Is that what you really think?! Well answer me!!" the young man said
with his hands in fists and a vein popping from his neck as he moved closer to
the young woman. The young woman backed away with her hands over her mouth,
tears streaming down her face.
"Oh so you're crying now huh? I take
that as a yes then, you Trick!! Well you know what...? The joke is all on you
because I was actually thinking the same thing, but unlike you, I was doing
something about it. I figured that we probably wouldn't last, since you act too
innocent for your own good, so I started seeing other people. I already did it with them, but I just didn't want to
get you pregnant, because the less child support the better. And I knew that
you would want me to be with you forever if you were knocked up and I sure as
Heck didn't want that.
My god, if it wasn't for this old guy, I
would have made a horrible mistake believing all those lies." The young
man, after speaking, then turned to the older man, looked at him with a serious
grim look and said, “Thanks you old man, I could have really jacked myself up
being with that." he said while pointing at the young woman who was still
in a frozen state.
He
walked over to her took her hand, and pulled the engagement ring off her
finger. "Consider this your two week notice to get your crap out of my
apartment and get the heck away from me." he said then walked away as
tears began to blur his vision. The young woman’s legs couldn't support her
anymore and soon she found herself sitting in the snow stunned with tears
streaming down her face like the river that she was close to that didn't freeze
all the way yet.
