The way we meet was complety coincidental but magnificent. I had been sitting on top of a rock watching the sun set. I was just leaning back enjoying the feel of the sun’s fading rays as I leaned back against the rock when a shadow was cast over me. I opened my eye’s to see a angelic face peering down at me. I say angelic for at the time I did not know what it was I truly was gazing upon but that simply I was staring into the face and pale green eye’s of the most beautiful woman I think I had ever meet.
She was of a small frame. Maybe five foot five and a hundred some pounds with long gently curling brown hair cascading over her shoulder’s and framing her face as she stared down at me. She did not flinch back when I opened my eye’s she just continued to stare at me with those same pale green eye’s that I just began to notice had darkened circle’s around them. The kind of dark circles you see around someone who had been crying or hadn’t sleept in days, I could not help but wander which it might be for surely someone as magnificent as the creature standing above me had to reason to weep?
A smile seemed to flicker upon the corner of her lips as she watched me. Softly, so softly I could barely hear her she whispered “I’m sorry to disturb you I will leave alone sir to enjoy the sunset”.
This made me laugh and I responded “I will not accept your apollogy madame if you simply attempt to say that you are sorry and sprint away from me taking such a lovely sight away from my vision.”
A deep blush and a sweet smile raced across her face as she responded “Thank you sir but I have caused far to much trouble for far to many and I do not wish to bring a burden to bare upon you.”
“Nonsense little one, please come and sit with me and join the passing of this day as it herealds the night into exsistance.” I said as she attempted to turn and walk away “Beside’s who are you to truly judge what would be a burden upon me?”
“Please kind sir I know what trouble’s I have brought upon those around me and I wish not to bring a stranger into these matters.” She said her concern obvious on her face.
“Tell me what is your name little one?” I asked non chalantly hoping she would take this bait.
“Why sir my name is Avi…….” her voice trailing off as she said it
” Greeting’s Avi I am Dimitri, or atleast that is what you may call me. It is a pleasure to make your acquantance and no longer be a stranger to one as beautiful as you. Now since we are no longer strangers surely you would have no qualm with sitting beside me and enjoying the setting sun?” I asked coley of her.
“Dimitri” she said to me a slight giggle in her voice “I do believe sir that you have decieved me to gain my acquantance.”
I allowed a hint of mock indignation to creep into my voice “why My lady how could you ever accuse me of such a heinous crime as decieving you just to make your acquantance so that I might enjoy the company of a maiden so fair as you. What type of villian would do such a thing just to enjoy the company of a woman as beautiful as you and enjoy her company.”
