The Man I love was never mine

Some people enter your life like a beautiful dream, only for you to discover that the were never meant to stay. " Ophelia if you don't get out of that bathroom in the next two minutes, I swear, I'm leaving you here!" Susana voice echoed through the bathroom. Ophelia rolled her eyes at the mirror carefully applying the last touch of her lip gloss on her lips. "I'm almost done!" "I have been hearing this for the past thirty minutes!" "Beauty takes time, girl relax! I will be right there". "I hope your beauty find you a prince charming this night" Susana shouts loudly as Ophelia chuckles. "I'm coming sweetie". Ophelia picks up her purse, checks herself one last time to make sure everything is out before heading out to meet her Friend. "Girlie, I'm done, how do her look?" Susana looks at her for a second trying to behold her beauty. "Wow!!" "Ophelia raised an eyebrow. " What??, why are u staring at me?" "You look so stunning, I don't know who gave you the permission to look this beautiful" Ophelia chuckled loudly, turning slightly to admire her outfit. She wore a simple blue gown that hugged her figure with revealing too much and delicate earrings and necklace to match and a pair of heels she already regrets wearing. "You are exaggerating " "No sweetie, if I was a man I would have proposed to you tonight " " Thank God your not a man " Ophelia chips in "Rude!" They both laughed. Susana has been Ophelia's best friend , her confidant,and the one person she could always turn to but life has other twist for her. Tonight , however , Ophelia has no particular expectations. They were simply attending a birthday party of Susana's cousin and Ophelia intended to eat , dance a little, take pictures and return before midnight. Nothing more But she had no idea that this simple evening will be the beginning of a story she will spend years wishing she never lived. "Come on Ophelia " Susana says why grabbing her car keys and heading outside." My cousin has already called me several times. If we arrive late she will never let me hear the end of it." "Let's go before she sends police to come gets us" Ophelia says why laughing. They hurried out of the house, none of them noticed the dark cloud gathering in a distance. ----------------- The party was already in full swing when the arrived. Music filled the spacious event room mingled with people's laughter, excited conversation ,and occasional burst of applause . Golden light illuminated the decorated tables , while balloons and flowers surrounded a large birthday backdrop. People stood in groups, greetings old friends and introducing themselves to strangers. The atmosphere was warm, lively and almost intoxicating. Ophelia smiled as she takes everything in. "Ok" she says leaning to Susana. "Your cousin knows how to throw a party." " Of course she does , she has been planning this for months now." Susana spotted the birthday girl at the entrance of the hall and immediately grabbed Ophelia's hand. " There she is! Come, let's go and greet her before she accuses me of abandoning her" They made their way through the crowd. After the greeting, photograph and the usual teasing of Susana arrival time, Ophelia finally found a moment to breathe. "I need something cold to drink" Ophelia announced "Go ahead, I will join you in a minute." Ophelia nodded and headed towards the refreshments table. She was halfway there when someone bumped into her. "Oh!" Her heels caught the carpet and she stumbled . A hand reached her and caught her arms before she could fall "Careful" The voice was deep and unexpectedly gentle. Ophelia looked up. And for a moment she forgot everything she wanted to say, she swallowed her spit and bite her lips. The man standing before her was dressed in perfectly fitted black shirt and dark trousers, his sleeves were rolled up neatly and a golden wrist watch glinted in the warm light. He wasn't smiling yet there was something about his expression that made it difficult for Ophelia to look away. "Oops! I'm sorry" Ophelia stammered "Watch were your going" He said. Ophelia stood there in dazed as she watched the Man leave until she couldn't see his back.
