If it were, only one word would be your name, you my everything,
Gregory was standing on a boulevard in the downtown area of the city. He finished his cigarette, and began to think about himself. He wanted the outing to be special. Not just a mere friends date. Jupiter, I like Luna, and I can't find the words to make her fall in love with her. "Then do things that come from the heart," I told him. Try and if you fall you will get up, it is not something that cannot be solved. We are all terrified of every crucial moment, and the mind plays many tricks on us to make us fear the unknown, but it is just crossing that bridge. Once you're on the other side, you'll feel relieved whatever the outcome.
I was always rational to give an answer to a question that was romantic. Gregory's fear is the rejection of his attack. For someone who has experienced it, he knows well that a defeat is not the lost war, and if it were there will be other wars to fight.
Someone told me once. "Someone new will always come. And that someone may be the one. The universe is fantastic. No matter where it comes from, it will come"
Gregory was about to take out the pack to smoke another cigarette, until Luna appeared.
She was wearing jeans, with her scientist glasses. He had always worn contact lenses. Her hair loose from her, her gaze, with a pink lipstick on her mouth. A shirt, and a plain woolen jacket like he likes to dress her. Some high heels to reach Gregory's height. That might be good.
- Hello! Sorry for arriving late. – She had been delayed for a few minutes. –
- Not at all, it's just a little time. –Gregory said. She made a somewhat strange face herself about that so-called time. He was up to something that Gregory couldn't make out.
- Want…..?
- Hey!...What do you think?...
- Oh! "Sorry," Gregory said a little nervously.
- Ha! Ha! We look like two teenagers on a first-time date – Luna laughed.
- Ha! Ha! You're absolutely right – she grabbed the back of her neck with her right arm and hand, gesturing Gregory in a joking situation. –
- Look at this amusement park.
- Well, let's go then.
They went walking. She with her hands behind her looking around, and he with his in his pockets. They were silent.
- Estem!
- Yeah? – Luna said asking Gregory's doubt.
- No, I was just going to ask you how your work and studies were going.
- Oh good! Molecular biology applied to physics is developing by leaps and bounds. I was carrying out some physical studies on the movement of atoms, and their speed in particles for the perfection of time.
- I didn't understand very well!
- That with the movements of atoms at a certain speed, fitting with others, changes in time and space could be made.
- So time travel? I thought it was impossible? I have written about science fiction, and about time travel. Travel to other universes. But always on the basis of a hypothetical theory that would never work.
- MM!! …. – Luna, remained distant from it – They are studies, like those hypotheses, but they are accepted to be approved in the departments.
- So there is still a lot to study and discover?
- That's how it is..! – Luna managed to calm Gregory's thoughts – Look, the entrance is here – How beautiful!
Gregory was glad, and they immediately went there. He, like every gentleman, paid for the tickets.
Upon entering they walked through some food stalls.
- Do you want a cotton ball?
- Of course - Luna is a lover of sweets - But now I'm inviting.
- Okay!, but only this time. -
There were many people in the stalls. When they arrived, Luna and her beauty were admired by all the men who saw her arrive, especially because of her developed bust. Gregory didn't know what to say looking at each guy. When they arrived they bought two flakes, and so they continued the date. There were other stalls selling meats, milkshakes, chocolates, and ice cream. Some of games.
-The fair they put together here is very beautiful – She remembered that there are some similar ones in her home.
-She came here to this park when she was a minor.
- Oh really?
- Yes, my mother always brought me. She changed over the years, but she always maintains the magic of her.
- I see! – She smiles, captivating Gregory with just her look. - Is an angel
-she said to herself
After stopping at a fast food stand, she couldn't take her eyes off one of those machines that has teddy bears inside, and they must be removed with tweezers. She was
towards her, and looked at a stuffed animal that was very hidden among others. It didn't take long for Gregory to put in a coin.
- Let's see if we're lucky!
- No need Gregory!
He tried the first time and failed, then again and again. The pincer descended, but he could not capture it. He tried one more time, and by placing the button on that doll he captured its head.
-Come on, you can do it – he said to himself inside her. Luna looked forward to her being able to do it.
She slowly began to raise it to a certain point, due to a false movement she fell to the ground, missing the opportunity. –
Gregory sighed a little at that.
- Let's try it one more time? – Luna placed a coin. - I know you can
– And she smiled again. -He nodded. –
He was manipulating the lever with the pincer hook. By doing so he descended after carefully calculating. He placed his hand on the button. To her surprise Luna's hand was placed on top of his. He was surprised, his hand was shaking.
- Now Gregory! – Moon said. They both pressed the button. Both hands at the same time. And he slowly descended until he caught that bear. When taking it he went slowly.
- Please don't fail me - Gregory said trembling. The machine paused, which caused a fright, and continued to the hole by throwing the stuffed animal into it. It looked like he would get stuck, but a small movement of the moon foot under the machine finished the job. The teddy bear was theirs.
- We did it!!!! – She said happily, and she hugged Gregory. –
- Ehh!! Yes we achieve it – He said astonished.
She had her bear, and now they were going in to play some games. The afternoon unfolded with great enthusiasm. She told him many things, and he received them with joy.
They toured an aquarium. He took her towards the penguins. She read the stories about how birds act.
"Once a pair of penguins are together they never separate, and if someone is missing for certain reasons, they never look for a partner again. The orcas and other beings of nature had the same story. Luna remained silent, thinking about everything this day. She had never spent a day like this with someone. She had dates in her life and she had fallen in love with the wrong people, which is why she had a hard time building a relationship. And she didn't want to hurt Gregory.
When they left there, they went to a restaurant. Gregory ordered a plain coffee, and she ordered a whipped chocolate dipped in cream.
- That looks delicious! – Gregory said –
-Try a little - And she passed the spoon to the cream and thick chocolate, and placed it in his mouth. Another surprise for Gregory.
- MMM..MM! -Thank you – She said and a little cream remained in her mouth. She took a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth.
- So you look good! Her – She expressed it with pleasure. –
- Moon? "She," she asked, taking a sip of coffee and gathering courage, "I... I've always been watching you."
- Huh? - She said.
- What do you...? You are always there! ..And!...…Damn, the words don't come out – Gregory expressed.
- Calm! – He smiled again. She knew what Gregory might say, but she didn't want to risk it, a little because in the end she would know that Gregory would be hurt if she didn't play with her time.
It was almost night, and fireworks began in an area adjacent to the park.
- Wow! She said - Look Gregory?
- It's great!
The almost nocturnal afternoon sky was filled with colors, and the stars and the Moon reflected it. They left there and continued walking following the rhythm of those stars. It was starting to get cold, and they went towards the plaza sector until they climbed some stairs to a viewpoint. There they hurried from above seeing all those rockets illuminating and blending in with the stars.
They were both together, and he saw her joyful and happy face. He took a deep breath and said
- I am not, all you can have, but I will be so that I can always see you smile,
- I will be what you dream of, I will take you by the hand,
- I will take you with me, I will hug you tight,
and I will make the stars have messages of your beauty,
I may not be what you are looking for, but I will do my best, so that at the end of this life you are happy.
As he recited these words to the sky, he looked at the sky, and she looked at him. And then he turned around, and finally they both locked eyes with her. They crossed their eyes in which each one was reflected. Finally she felt that she had found that person she had been looking for so much, even if she had to leave him, at least that moment was theirs. They both got closer and gave rise to that kiss that they had promised each other so much.
And then hand in hand among stars and planets they walked to the end.
The next day. The next day, Luna disappeared, and he forgot her. Those were Gregory's words as he remembered. He who writes everything.
