A Flashed memory

How does this sound like?

it was my 17th birthday, and my first birthday without my mama. As usual, I go to church early in the morning (around 6 am) together with my dad and sisters. Then, after mass, I was greeted by neighbors and family friends. There was a particular Lola, whom I call Lola Rose, and she had her grandson with her.

Would you believe, I found her grandson kinda "cute"? he was a little taller than me, with sun-tanned skin and sleepy-eyes, had a mature face with a hint of playfulnes. But it was the least thing that was in the back of my head. I entertained his Lola more, because I am really good friends with her.

Anyways, they were invited to our house. I entertained a few number of "guests" then I noticed that he kept on glancing on me. Whenever I secretly tried to look at him, his gaze was at me, and I'll just look away! I could feel my blush intensifying.

I would remember his Lola trying to introduce him to me. I just smiled politely and laugh at the little conversation which took place. He talked to me a little, I just responded to his questions with a smile. I tried to look smart, but I guess I failed. I realized that I am just a little girl after all...

When it was time for them to leave, he greeted me a happy birthday once more, and then winked.

after that, we left for Manila and never came back to our province.

You must know, that I have encountered a lot here in Manila, and that I am poor in recognizing faces... when Facebook became popular, a boy added me as a friend. The truth is, I am not sure if I have met him before, but seeing that we have some common friends, I just added him without any thought.

then, it took me a year and a half to recognize him as the guy who came to my house 2 and a half years ago... FUNNY.

You know why he caught my attention again??

Its because he shared the same birthday as my mother.

I wished to greet him a happy birthday, but sadly I wasn't able to do so... I was practically busy during my mother's birthday, that i wasn't even able to open up my fb account and greet him. I wanted to re-connect to him... because until now, I still find him mysterious... haha do you think I could still meet him face to face in the future again??

So far, this story just seemed like a good beginning to a beautiful romance novel or movie. Maybe I'll just write a story about this.

A friend once commented that I am a good "fluff writer" wherein "fluff" meant cheesy stories full of romantic stuff. But isn't it kinda ironic?? I NEVER HAD A GOOD ROMANTIC STORY OF MY OWN in real life.

Falling in-love would always remain as a struggle for me... maybe I am also the person who makes things hard for myself... we'll never know ^^

What do you think about this story??
