The perfect day


He, the thin, tall, bearded, blue-eyed boy of 23 years old was riding his bike. He thought about the events of this morning. He felt nervous and anxious to reach his destination. 

The blue sky, the beautiful flowers, lovely kids playing on the street made him think today was the perfect day. He smiled.

She, the blonde, light-hearted, kind girl of 20 years old was having lunch with her friends at  a restaurant. They were chatting and laughing, this was a good distraction for the girl, who had a fight with his boyfriend earlier in the morning.

Things haven't been working out with them anymore, she thought that it was the end of the relationship, even though she loved him with all her heart. 

The boy arrived. He saw her, approached her and sat next to her. They were sitting at a table outside the restaurant. He gave her a bouquet, she rejected it. 

The girl, surprised to see her boyfriend there, apologized to her friends and walked a little bit away from them, taking his hand and asking "what are you doing?" He knelt. 

He felt nervous again due to her expression, she didn't seem happy to see him. "Mary, I need to tell you something..." 

She made him stand up, feeling embarassed "Jhon! please..." This wasn't the right moment to do this, not after that fight. "Julia, I'm sorry, for everything... I just don't know what to do.... I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with you...." said Jhon.

"Will, don't do this..." said Mary "We can't be together". She was right, Will felt in love with his ex brother's fiancee. But he couldn't help it. "I love you" whispered Will hopeless. Mary got up and left him with his posy on the table.

Julia thought that being willing to marry her wasn't enough... she deserved true love. She refused to marry Jhon, which made him furious, leaving abruptaly. Jhon's manliness had been hurted. 

Julia turned around to spot her friends but they left too. Instead she noted a thin, bearded, tall boy with some flowers, looking sad. Probably with a broken heart like hers.

Will got up decided to return home. A blonde girl catched his eye. She was very pretty but with an upset expression on her face. He gave her the flowers. Julia smiled to him and introduced herself. Will ask her if she wanted to take a coffee there, as they were both alone. She agreed. It was the perfect day to start over.
