She thinks she is cursed like a children’s fairy tale story. She can’t say “I love you” to the person she loves because those words once said, will make the person stop loving her. And so she is very careful not to be in love with anyone. If the pain of love is predicable, she will try her best to avoid it.
There was a day, she met a guy. She thinks he is the kind of guy she would never find herself in love with. It was quite easy for her to go out with him often, do many fun things together, talk about lots of sad or happy things together, and she thought the life can’t be much better like it is. It’s good to have a friend like him.
Then he kissed her.
That one kiss changes everything. She considers there is another possibility to extend their friendship. She finally accepts his love but she hardly does the same in return. She is too afraid the spell will catch her.
“I think your worry is not going to come true.” He holds her hand sitting in the beach. There are so many people surfing under the sunny sky.
“What do you mean?” She puts her head over his shoulder, asked without care.
“Weren’t you saying that you are cursed once you say I love you to someone then he will stop loving you? I think the spell isn’t working.”
“I don’t remember that I have said, “I love you” to someone recently.” She puzzled.
“You don’t have to say it out loud but I sense it. You love me.” He gave her a confident smile.
“I think you are overreaching yourself. Does European water have magical confident elements in it which makes you think I may L‧O‧V‧E you?” She spelled out LOVE just to clarify he was wrong.
“Well it may not quite true about the water but I did figure it out when I was in Europe last week. Let me ask you one question. What’s the time zone in Germany?”
“Central Europe time, GMT+01:00?” She quickly response.
“Yes. What’s the time zone in San Francisco?”
“Pacific time, GMT -08:00?”
“Correct. Here comes my question. Why do you know this? You were not interested in figuring out the time zone before, right? And you start paying attention to this, apparently, because of me.”
“Er, maybe I am trying to be internationalized?”
“NOPE. That’s an obvious answer that you love me. If you don’t love me, you won’t buy a global map and stick in the wall in your room. If you don’t love me, you won’t spend your time trying to figure out those time zones and get up early just to talk to me due to time difference. If you don’t love me, you wouldn’t care if I landed safely or not. Don’t you realize that you are not holding back anymore?”
“Stop it. I don’t L‧O‧V‧E you. At least, not yet.” She retorted with dignity.
“I am not forcing you to say it to me. What I am trying to say is, whether you admit you love me or not, I still love you. Even now you didn’t say you love me, but I sense each beat of your heart beating pounding like I love you, I love you. And how amazing thing is I still love you. So don’t be afraid to be in love. Your spell is broken by me.” He squeezed her cheek.
Was I just revealing my love to this guy unconsciously? She stared at him, speechless.
“Oh, well…maybe…probably…I guess you are right. I kind of love you.” Her face blushes.
He wraps her tight in his arms, kisses her forehead. “I noticed it far before you knew.”
Maybe the spell doesn’t work the way she thought, having the other person fall out of love with her. It turns out the spell is trying to tell her to love bravely and so that she finds a real love.
