Edith Willes meets Edward Woods
For some reason I decided to go for a walk earlier that day, something in my heart told me that I was
going to find something but never thought I would won a prize beyond measure.
I saw his horse getting near me as if he was desperate
to get here without even knowing who I was. My heart starts hasten faster and I
don´t know what am I going to do when he´s finally there. I know that horse,
everyone knows who he is but the fact that he´s marching my way makes it all absolutely
unbelievable. What can I possible offer to him?
I´m just a girl, he´s the sun.
He finally it´s here and all my doubts have
gotten worse, I just don´t understand this.
-Good morning.
Brain tumor, just smile at him.
-It´s really rare to find someone around here
this early.-He says nervously and looking at me intensively.
Ok, Edith. He wants to talk to you. Say something
you idiot!!
-I agree with you Sir but it´s in the sunrise
where the soul purifies itself until the new nights arrives.- Well said you clever girl.
He´s smiling now. I must have surprised him,
this is a good thing. What a beautiful smile! Wao. My heart stops.
-I´m Edward Woods.- he extended his hand at me.
-Nice to meet you Edward, My name is Edith Willes.-I know who you are but let´s
just pretend, it´s funnier that way. I emphasize my last name so it would be
clear to him that we´re totally different and he´s way out of my league.
Do you live around here?-He asks me and I can
see he´s eager to hear me saying yes.
- Yes.
He hesitates on making his move, I should stop
this right here, nothing good will come for me.
-Can I walk you home?- He finally gets the
courage to ask me.
I start walking, this is the best choice but my
heart sounds angry at me and tells me why i´m refusing a simple walk home so I turn
to him.
-Are you coming?
The walk home is silent at the beginning and I honestly
don´t know why I listened to my heart but I once read that our way to happiness is to listen to him, I feel
a thousand of butterflies trying to get out through my mouth but I hold them
in. He starts the conversation again, why he wants to talk to me. I´m just
Edith Willes you are the wealthiest man in England, what can I possible say to
entertain you? Then it hits me. I don´t have to, he has plenty of that nonsense
in his world I get to be the one thing that it´s not predictable and I get to
simply be myself. What´s the worse it could happen? then i stopped and change my mind;
-Listen, you don´t have to walk me home at all.
You came to introduce yourself and that´s more than enough. Soon, someone will
be looking for you and I don´t want to be part of all that circus you´re
involved in. Thank you but I can continue from here.- I was really rude to him.
He stopped and I feel like the world ended, he
believed my taunted words.
-You´re some quiet enigmatic woman Ms. Edith
Willes. It was you who asked me to walk you home.
-And now I just changed my mind.- I spit the
words with anger but why I was angry?
He approaches me; he´s near me and out the blue
holds me tight to him. He´s used to get his own way.
-Edward, if you kiss me I will hit you hard
there and you won´t be able to walk for days. .-I sound
menacing now.
He´s eyes go wild, he´s trying to suppress a
smile but still doesn´t let go.
-I won´t kiss you until you ask me to but since
your threat didn´t forbid me from having you like this I guess it´s more of what I can wish
for. I know you´re different and I wish to get to know you more. I agree
about the circus part and I truly wish you´re not like the rest of them. I can
see now that you´re not. Can I come here tomorrow morning to see you?
I want to say no and now I see how he charms
everyone around him, I understand why no one says no to him, he´s mesmerizing.
-No.
-No? Why? - He looks surprised.
-You know why. You´re getting married! I will
not be like the rest.-I say it.
His face suddenly turns sad and he starts
looking down, he was hoping I didn´t know but who doesn´t know all the details
of his family dominant empire. Even when I try to avoid all kinds of superficial
conversations people in town only talks about him and the wedding of the
century.
-Edward, you need to turn and go back to your reality
I will not be used as an escape. Please let me go.- I begged.
-Please... I really need someone like you in my
life. Someone that sees through me, for who I am and not for my family name. I need a
friend.
I breathe in and out while i look a thim. I can be a friend to him but if I do this I have
to protect my heart or I will end up crying for a married man. I extend my hand
to him and we walk towards my house. How can I be friends with the most
gorgeous man on earth without falling for him?
-Tomorrow?
-Tomorrow. - I say without any doubt.
Edward woods walked me home, tried to kiss me and
now wants to be my friend. Well done Ms. Edith, now your life went from simple
to complicated.
