8.8 Dreams come true
One saturday noon when I got home from work I met a blond girl in the
stairs. She was apparently just about to move in into the apartement next to
mine.
I stopped and helped here with some boxes and started some small-talk. She
was so pretty. And she seemed very nice too. I got an idea and I sneaked
down the corner and bought some flowers, and then back up ringing on her
door. She opened and I said:
- You see we have a nice tradition in this house saying that the last one
moving in has to buy flowers to the next one moving in here. (Of course it
wasn’t a tradition since long time ago, but actually I got some flowers from
an old lady when I moved in. And just now it seemed like a nice tradition to
start!)
– Oh, thank you very much, the girl said.
I guessed she was about 18 and later I found out I had been right. Her name
was Susan she told me. After some small-talk again I asked her what she did
for a living. She told me she had been with a circus as a contortionist and
now she was going to start some studying again.
– Oh, you do the Marinelli bend? I asked just trying to show some knowledge
in the field. (Not that I thought she did the Marinelli bend, but I was
about to be quite surprised!):
– Yes, as a matter of fact I do, she said surprised. How do you know what
that is?
If she was surprised by my question, I was even more surprised by her
answer.
- Well, I am a bit of a contortion fan I guess.
– You are?? Cool. Please, come in, she said to me.
I was still standing in the doorway, but I went in.
– Do you do contortion yourself, she asked me.
– No, no. But in fact I do some yoga by myself trying to keep fit and
flexible. And I really like doing it, trying to do some progress.
– Oh, that’s nice.
And after some more small-talk she asked me:
– Please, couldn’t we practise together some day. I can help you with the
yoga poses and I’m sure you can help me to!
Well, what do you say? I had a long time ago wanted someone to train with.
– Yes, that would be great fun!
– What do you do this afternoon, she asked immediately. I must train some
time when I finished some of the unpacking here.
So we agreed to see each other at my place some hours later.
When she came she was wearing a white long-legged lycra unitard. She looked
like an angel with her blond hair. I was stunned but I tried not to show
that. She also brought an extra unitard in my size insisting that I should
wear it too. I put it on and it was an amazing feeling. I felt like a real
contortionist. We started stretching and she showed and helped me. And she
was a good teacher I can say! She did some of her routine too, and I just
fell in love with her even more.
She continued to work with me too, pushing and twisting my limbs so I almost
started crying. But I liked it. She helped me with both frontbends and
backbends.
Suddenly, when sitting in splits she leaned forward and kissed me. Wow!
Today we have a moved together. We only had to put in a door between our
apartments, which now has turned into one big apartment. And today we have a
five-year-old-daughter, a limber girl who love doing contortion like her
mother.
Buy flowers!
