fluttering freedom...an abstract thought !

Hello..my name's Vivian Debonaire and here's the story of the most wonderful week in my life..

It was a bright sunday afternoon during the wonderful month of August, the air was crisp and filled with smell of Lavender from a nearby garden. I was relaxing on my favourite leaf that I call home when I saw her for the first time. She came flying in and settled on a leaf in the next plant. She had the most beautiful wings which were bright red and blue and perfectly curved tentacles that I have ever seen. I had lost sense of myself and was looking at her when she turned around and caught my eye. The sparkle in her deep green eyes made my heart skip a beat and made me lose balance when she said 'Are you ok?' I wanted to say something but could not form words and was staring at her with mouth wide open. She was quitely looking for a while, gave a smile and turned around to clean her leaf...I fell on my back and felt as if someone had shot an arrow through my heart. I regained composure and ever so lightly tapped her wings with my tentacles and said 'Hi' and she said 'Phew...finally..I thought you were dumb'. I said 'Oh no..my name is Vivian Debonaire and I am single' (wat am I saying !!!...why did I say about being single...man !)
She said 'uh..Debonaire?'
'Yeah .. Debonaire..oh but got nothing to do with that book .. he he' (Wat am I saying !!!..stop this)
'oookkkk'
She said 'My name is Sarah and I dont discuss private life with strangers' and gave me a sarcastic look with a grin.

Ok now I have to say something smart...cmon think think..damn nothing's coming to my head. Could we have run out of conversation so quickly? Had I turned her off by my stupid name joke and announcing my relationship status?What? She simply sat there half-smiling at me.

I said 'So you must be new around here...havnt seen you around'

She said 'So you know every girl around here is it?' maintaining her half-smile.

Why am I putting up with this? She thought i was dumb and now thinks i am a romeo.

I said 'Do you know who I am?' and she said 'Are you so important that I should know?'

I said 'My great grandfather was the head of the tribe and lived on this plant and has been inherited all the way'

She said 'So the not-so-great grandson dint have to work to find a home !' still maintaining half-smile.

That's it I can't take this anymore and told her that I am taking off for a while.

flutter flutter.

I kept thinking about her and could not get her off my mind. Her beautiful green eyes and bright wings kept coming back and I had to do something. That evening I went to catch up with my friend Rado and told him my situation.

I said 'Man she's beautiful..I have never felt something like that before'

He said 'Dude looks like you are in love !'

I said 'Cmon man...do you really think its love? but I totally acted like a monkey on drugs...she must think I am a fool..I have screwed it up dude'
He said 'ok..lets go have a drink' and we went to our favourite flower half a mile away whose nectar gave strange new highs.

flutter flutter.

Over drinks he said 'Dude why don't you talk to her again and find out more about her. Since she just moved in, maybe you can give her a gift'.

I said 'Man my brain switches off and does not produce words when I am looking at her'

He said 'yeah i know dude..I heard these humans do not have this problem..they have things like messengers and social networking sites that they use to talk to gals..sounds so simple man'

I said 'Damn humans..they are just too smart...we flies gotta do the old school style. Thanks anyway man. I will figure something out'

flutter flutter.

The next day I collected petals from my favourite flowers and made a small flower out of it for her. I couldnt understand why I was doing all this. My mind was simply turned off and I was guided by this strange inner feeling. I was nervous and excited at the same time. After giving my tentacles an extra shape to appear macho, I waited for her to wake up.

I said 'Good morning ! look I made something for you !'

She said 'Ohhh...I see the man's sensitive and got style !' with a cocky look.

I said 'Sorry about yesterday...I guess I was a little nervous and so wanted to make it up'

She said 'Little nervous ! .. you looked like you never saw a girl before...but I kinda liked the way you were looking at me !'

Man things were finally looking up. I secretly thanked Rado and decided to step it up.

I said 'uh...ummm...you know I was thinkin....'

She said 'Yeeeeesssssss'

I said 'uh..donno how to put it...ummmm...was thinkin if we could..' (man the words the words...damn the words are not coming ..help !!!)

She said 'So where will you take me?'

Man was she smart or what ! Why is it happening for whatever is happenening? Was Rado right when he said I am in love?

I said 'There's a new flower which has just blossomed. Why dont we try it out?' She said 'I'd love to !'

flutter flutter.

So there we were sucking on the sweet nectar and she asked 'So tell me about yourself'.
I said 'Well I started off as a caterpillar like we all do. I was however stuck on the wall of a bathroom in a house'

She said 'Oh !...you were born in a bathroom...'bathroom boy'..ha ha ha '
I said 'well it was not so bad after all...I could see a lot of adult stuff (wink wink)'

She was just staring now and I cursed under my breath and said 'aaa..i mean...u know...well .. he he'

I had to get a hold of myself...I had to tell her the truth.

I said 'Sarah...I know I am talking like a fool with you. I really dont know why myself. When I am with you, my mind just acts crazy I guess.I am really sorry if you are embarassed. I will try to get a hold of my feelings'

She just looked at me with her ever so sweet half-smile, winked and started sucking the nectar. I just knew it was time to tell her.We headed back home and on the way I said 'There's a flower bud just next to the one we went today. Tommorow morning, it will open up at sunrise.I want you to be there when it happens. I have a surprise for you'

The next morning before sunrise Sarah was near the flower bud waiting impatiently for the sunrise. Far at the horizon, faint light finally started appearing and Sarah grew ever more impatient. The first rays hit her and she felt the warmth against the cold morning. As the sun slowly started to rise in the horizon, the flower bud slowly started opening its petals one by one. Sarah was transfixed at this amazing sight. When the bud finally opened up, what she saw brought a tear of joy in her eyes. Right in the centre was the most beautiful ring that she had ever seen. I flew behind her and ever so lightly tapped her wings with my tentacles. She turned around and I said 'Sarah...I aaa..ummm..I ...'

She couldn't hold back her tears and said 'Bathroom boy...I do too !'

And so we lived happily ever after !
