When you are a teenager and have seen so many movies, you idealize how your first boyfriend will be, how your first date will be, everything is already planned, as if it were a romantic movie, you only lack the main detail, the protagonist, the problem is that you already have such a high perspective, that this character never arrives, years go by, you meet many guys, however, because you are waiting for the ideal, which you idealized, you stop seeing around you.

　　You let many opportunities go by, that you never realized you would have, until it is too late and you find yourself, alone enjoying a book, outside a French style cafe, waiting for something that never came, and that's how it all started, when I stopped waiting and gave up, it came.....

　　I was 21 years old ,when it all started, I met him in a very romantic way, almost 4 years ago, in an old cafe, near the main square of Palmira, I was reading again that silly sentimental story, where the protagonist falls down before a handsome gentleman, What nonsense, but sometimes I liked to go into these stories and dream that this girl was me, always imagining that I was the main character, when I meet someone, because my friends have a boyfriend and I do not, I'm weird, I thought! Anyway, I continued reading, when suddenly I heard a voice, very nice, I had my sunglasses on, I liked to sit outdoors to avoid being disturbed, I could not see well, who was this person who was talking to me, when I took off my glasses I finally saw him, he was tall with a straight hair blond like honey, his hair was flying with him .

　　The air, impossible to forget that detail, some sky blue eyes and a voice, that shakes me just by listening to it, Excuse me! said he, with that accent that made me release a sigh.

　　I felt my heart slow down, I turned slowly and I saw him, I could not believe how handsome he was .... like something out of an American movie, I fell asleep, I thought ...!

I tried to breathe and not look like a fool and answered

yes!!, I said... almost without being able to raise my voice, immediately he answered, I could sit with you, I have a lot of time thinking of a good excuse or the right words, to be able to introduce myself to you, but I can't think of anything, so I decided to be brave and come here, with the fear of being rejected.

　　I could not believe what I was hearing, I never saw him, he must have sat near the bar, but how could this happen, I had never seen him around here, I was surprised, I was still far away from the world around me, from an outside world, which I was not interested in knowing, until this moment, I breathed again and answered him, don't you think you should introduce yourself first

I was surprised at how serene and confident, that my voice was heard, that I even doubted that it was mine

.

　　He smiled,

with a smile, that captivated me, of course!!

excuse me, he said with a charming voice, I was determined to play interesting, even if inside I was nervous, but I didn't let him realize that... My name is Tristan and I come here often, I take my hand and kiss it, I can still feel the warmth of his lips in my hand, I smiled at him and said I am Larissa, I also come here often and I feel in the same place... I know! Said Tristan with a smile and looking at me, finally he sat down on the table, I put aside my book, placing a small page on the page that I was reading, and I looked at him intently... I asked him where he was from, because his accent wasn't from this place, he smiled and told me... I'm from Westminster a small city in England, but I have a year in Palmyra studying at the university, and you?

he asked me

　　Are you from here?, Yes!! I answered, with a spontaneous smile, no!! Sorry!! I am from Navarri, but just like you I came to study, also since a year ago, I remembered that some time ago a waiter gave me a flower and told me that it was given to me, without even asking him, he answered,

with that smile and that voice that they had fascinated

I know that you like to come here, One day I came with my friends and was the first time I saw you, sitting here reading, no matter what was going on around you, at that time I took a flower and told the waiter to give it to you,

I could not believe it, it was him

showed me a little smile and said, maybe you forgot, it was long ago, the funny thing is that despite having given you that flower, months ago I never dared to speak.

　　I was excited, for months I thought what was the reason, that my friends had suitors and I none, while there was the, Tristan seeing me every day, without approaching me, how was this possible, how it happened, at what time ......

　　Larissa, he said holding my hand, I know we barely know each other, but I would like to go out, do you think that's possible, to go on a date....

　　Of course I do, I answered him, I took out a paper from my bag and gave him my number, he did the same, I told him, how about if we meet tomorrow at this same time, after school, I think it's perfect he said, I'll be waiting for that moment, he took my hand again and kissed it, he got up from the table and left.

　　We said goodbye with the promise of seeing each other the next day, I picked up my things, took my bag. And I left for my apartment, thinking how slow the hours would be to see him again, take his number and keep it, carefully, tomorrow, tomorrow I will see him again, I was excited, I never thought this would happen to me......it would be possible that ...no, I look like a 17 year old fool, quiet, he is a boy, very interesting and handsome, but quiet, take it easy, we

　　Let's hurry, I said to myself trying to be calm and not to let my imagination fly too much, one day at a time, one day at a time, tomorrow will be another day! I used to say that every day, but today that little phrase, took a lot of strength in my mind.
