The Shades of Love

Chapter 2: The Unknown Sun


Flashback


“Where are you?” the man asked.
“City park…”
“Ok. I’ll meet you there.” The voice said and hung up.
“Weird…”
“What?” Mimi asked.
“Nothing I guess… It looks like the man is going to come and meet us here.”


End of Flashback


One call, just one call had changed everything, changed their whole lives.
All because of a cell phone, such a little object had such a huge effect.
How could have such a meaningless thing do such a powerful result.
Connecting lives, changing futures, realizing impossible dreams.
Now she looked up to the gleaming sky and saw it all.
An occurrence that shouldn’t have happened, still like a dream far out of reach.
She remembered the trees that embraced them that day, the small lake that sang for them.
How things had changed…


Flashback


Mimi and Stef were sitting under the trees.
The shadows of the trees made it pleasurable to be outside.
The breeze that swept thru the leafs making a somewhat musical sound float thru the air.
How all that felt perfect, like time was never going to pass, like they could be there forever.
They day-dreamed of the day they would finally be able to live their imaginings.
They started to hear footsteps on the gravel coming closer and closer.
Although they could clearly hear it, they ignored it.
It couldn’t be anyone they knew, so why even care? They both thought.
“Excuse me…” A known voice said behind them.
It was soft as velvet and sweet as honey.
They gradually turned around, to where for their surprise they saw what it seemed to be a mirage.
They saw a tall, pale and skinny punk. Big shades covered his face and pitch black mohawk raised gloriously on the top of his head.
“How could this be?” Mimi murmured.
“Did any of you lose your mobile phone?” the man with an androgynous look asked.
Stef slowly raised her hand.
“Me…” She said in a chap faded voice.
The boy grabbed a small device from his over sized bag and handed it to the oldest sister.
The girls just sat there still in shock.
The boy looked at them and then around thru the small garden they were in.
He looked a bit embraced, as he was expecting another reaction from the young girls.
As the silence steeled making them all feel somewhat out of place.
The young man thought of polite ways to get out of there.
As much as he knew he had to leave, there was something inside of him that made him want to stay there with the sisters.
Then he felt his phone vibrate inside his back pocket.
He slide the phone to his hand and opened the text.

From: Tom
If u take much longer there will be no donuts left for u
Gustav is eating them like there is no tomorrow

He looked once more at the girls.
“So… Would you like to… like go get a cup of coffee?” The man asked with a weak smile.
Stef shook her head.
“Of course “ The girl said getting up.
Mimi snapped out of her perfect little bubble and also got up.


End of Flashback


All they weren’t expecting suddenly started to happen.
Almost as a play unrolling in front of them, but they were in it.
Stef could only think about that weird, unique, almost uncaring first time.
When their dreams and reality crashed.
The light line of the horizon just like that day.


Flashback


They were walking down the Street with their dream rock star.
As the boy saw it the girls behind him seemed to be different, They were talking and giggling.
They seemed to be funny and bubbly.
The way the summer sun hit them made them seem from another world, from the most perfect dream.
How would he explain to the boys that he had brought some random fans with him?
He didn’t even know the reason why he had done that. Why he felt this urge to be with them, to protect them.
He felt like he already knew.
They walked down to the little coffee shop on the corner of the street.
