love story (2) - Don't

"Okay, I will see you at 12 then." ... ... I stood there for a couple of seconds, kinda let the fact sink in. Oh my god, what have I done? I promised Grace that we are gonna have lunch together that was long due, plus she said it's important, I can't blow her off ... ... fast forward to 12pm, at the cafe, Grace was sitting at one table reading a book, where is that guy? Hah, he's late, you can't be late on your first date, not even a split second, so you are out! When I see him, I will just tell him straight out that I am not interested. "Hey woman, what up!" "Don't call me woman, woman! That is so rude of you!" "Yea, yea, whatever... ..." just as we were goofing around as we always do, a guy approached our table, "oh, do you know Roman? I invited him to lunch today, sorry I forgot to tell you." Grace winked at me as she said that. Jeez, he was the guy she wanted to set me up with. You got to be kidding me. "Felicity and I already met." ... ...

What a weird day, just hung up with Grace after a whole hour of "oh my God," "no way" phone conversation, I was so exhausted that I must have forgotten when I fell asleep ... ... ... ... "Don, Don't!" I let out a scream, so loud that I woke myself up. It's a dream, just a dream. But it felt so real. I felt his arms wrapped around me, so warm, and he wispered something into my ear, so clearly, I still remembered it. But I can't tell, "it's a secret," he said in the dream, "just don't do the things I told you and everything will be fine, otherwise ... ..." again, he disappeared into thin air, like a swirl of wind.

You know how it works. When people tell you not to do something, you always ended up doing it. There is a lure to the word 'don't,' like "don't eat that apple," "don't open that door." or "don't have pre-marital sex" You know you probably shouldn't, but you did it anyway, and nine out of ten times, you would spend the rest of your life regretting that you didn't listen to the 'don'ts.'

Lesson, child, always listen to your parents, especially the don'ts. Trying their best to protect you from this crazy world is their job, and choosing whether to listent to them or not is your job, it's your life, and remember, you only have one life to live.
