My name is Christian Pfeifer and I have story to tell one. It involves my long awaited love whom I’ll never forget in time. I’ll take you back further than one can imagine within the glimpse of time. It was a time like any other and I’m to tell one how it goes. When I was 17 I fell in love with a girl. Not just any girl but the woman of my dreams, my high school sweetheart. Natasha was what they called her, but I called her N. N was like my buddy, down to earth and she loved to chill. What I loved was actually being able to reside within her presence. Just the time being spent with one another and the other times to my
imaginations content, was than what I could’ve hoped for. She was 5’5”, dark eyes, dark hair, with tanned skin and a body you could die for. Her smile was as radiating as the sun’s heat waves. She was special, indeed and everything I had ever hoped for. We had friends of friends, mutual friends, who’d noticed our vibe and have tried to hook us up. They were really cool about it, though they’d tried to keep everything on the mellow side. I knew all along, I knew. You see N was the type of girl you could take to beach for a walk along side the boardwalk taking in the Northern California breeze. She’d sit there and just listen and take in everything that would have to say. She’d tell you all of her hopes and dreams, and discuss the problems of the war. There was always time with her for she was like an incandescent rose ready to blossom and take whole of the world. She made you feel what she was feeling, love what she loved and at the same time in place she’d take in all you’d have to give. We were in tune with one’s emotions and to me it felt like romance was the next caption. It was about to
begin. You see the 90’s was the era, the era of love, compassion, symbolism and rebellion all bottled into one. America was getting ready to change and we were about to change. Time was inevitable and I can tell this much for sure. I remember then, we were out on the warmest day of the summer, taking in all of the air that was. A group of us, Lizzy, Taylor, N, Sam, Brad, Charlie and the rest of the guys. We were all having a good time soaking in the sun on Northern California’s hot sand, which was taking away all of the energy exuded from within. We loved it and everybody was relaxed. This was it and it was our time. And the joking and laughter played a big role within it all. Everything was going great with whole crew until Brad starting talking
-Brad- Anyone up for a game of Volley Ball?
-Lizzy- Sure
-Taylor- Sure
-Sam- Sure
-Charlie- Sure
-Zachary- No. You guys know I don’t play Volley Ball.
My thing is baseball and that’s it. They knew what they were doing, especially Brad. For one everyone knows N isn’t into sports and Me, my thing is baseball. One day I’ll play for the Yankees. They’ve got to be kidding me……
-N- Well I don’t play sports so I’ll just stay here
and relax with Christian.
-Yeah, you do that …………..Brad stated as he and the others walked over through the crowd It was quiet though the mood was set, and they were alone. Just as planned. The mood was right and the setting was on them. The two of them, all quiet and still. The rupture of the stance was all so sudden. They looked into one another’s eyes taking in all that was given. They were friends though there was something more that was to be in store. N looked directly into Christian’s eyes for at this moment in time, he was in Never Never land sailing away, in a dream world. She stated………
-N- Christian, Christian………..Christian, hello?! Earth to Christian
Christian immediately jumped out of his skin not knowing what to do, how to feel or what to say except,
-Christian- Huh?
-N- What’s wrong with you? I’ve been gazing into your eyes for about a minute to find out what’s going on. Everything’s been dead and they’ve been gone for about 30 minutes. What’s wrong, Chris?
-Christian- Nothing…..everything’s fine and I’m cool girl, just thinking
He wanted to say I’m just thinking about you and what we could be. You’ve always been my fantasy, though he could never go there even when he had more to share. She was more than that, something very special. Though for the moment right now she was his buddy. She knew something was up and he knew very well that she could tell.
-N- I know something’s up, Chris. You’re not saying much for you’re just staring into space with a lot on your mind. Give me a break and spill the juice.
-Christian- I am fine indeed and I’d like you to know this for a fact. Just thinking..
-N- Christian, you’re my best friend. And if you don’t tell me how will I help you. How will I be able to help you?
Just as N was about to finish her long awaited conversation with Christian, the whole crew returned. Trying to get in on all of the action they thought was coming their way…. Help him with what, Natasha……….Brad chimed in
-N- Nothing, nothing
-Brad - So, what did happen when we were gone, doing our thing? Since you guys don’t do V-Ball
-N- V- what?
-Everyone- Volley Ball, Natasha
-N- Oh, thanks and I’d appreciate it if you guys just call me N. I’d prefer this better
- N- And nothing happened between Christian and I, but just a casual conversation amongst a friend. That’s it. He’s daydreaming again about his life as the next Derek Jeter.
-Christian- No, I’m not, girl. Stop playing, I’m gonna be better than Derek Jeter
-Brad and N- You and what army?............stated with
laughter
