*********5TH CHAPTER*********
*Larry and Cristy walk holding hands towards the riverwalk. The river flows calmly, with few boats on it's water. Larry stops and inhales deeply*
Larry: This place is beautiful.
Cristy: It sure is. Too bad I don?t come here as often as I would like to.
Larry: And why is that?
Cristy: Well? Mainly because I don?t have anyone to make me company.
Larry: And what are we waiting for? C?mon!
*He pulls her and they run laughing towards the boat rentals. They get a boat and Larry jumps in first*
Larry: Now you Cristy. I?ll help you *offers her a hand*
Cristy: The boat is gonna sink with me in Larry! *LOL*
Larry: *chuckles* C?mon! Jump in!
Cristy: Okay, okay! Here I go!
*Cristy jumps in but she loses her balance. She is close to fall into the water but Larry grabs her by the hips and pulls her towards his body, hugging her and remaining still for a moment. A moment that let Larry inhale the aroma of Cristy?s hair, and a moment that let Cristy inhale the cologne scent on Larry?s neck. She felt the urge to kiss him, but in a total act of courage, she let go of him and smiled thankfully*
Cristy: Thanks for saving me.
Larry: My pleasure. *turns on the motor of the boat, while Cristy seats*
* both remain silent, just looking at the surroundings. They both asked themselves why did they felt enormously happy in the company of each other. But also, they were starting to get worried. [ I] What will it happen tomorrow?[/I] was a question that they were afraid to know it?s answer.
Cristy decided to break the ice and began to talk.*
Cristy: I?m having a wonderful time, Larry. Thank you so much.
Larry: No, thank you Cristy. Thanks for everything . You?ve made my day . *Cristy blushes and Larry kisses her head* Y?know , this is the first time in a long time that I?ve felt so good in the company of a woman.
Cristy: Really?
Larry: *nods* Yes. And Y?know what? *takes off his sunglasses*
Cristy: What?
Larry: *looking deeply into her brown eyes* I?m so glad it?s you.
*He kisses her cheek softly and caresses it. Cristy smiles and feels heaven inside*
Cristy: And I?m so happy I?ve met you.
*They stare at each other in a timeless instant. Forgetting about everything and just giving themselves away to that beautiful feeling. Close to kiss for the first time, they got interrupted but someone screaming, dissolving the intimate atmosphere*
OH MY GOOOOOOOOD!!!!
Larry: Oh FUCK!
*A boat with 3 girls approaches the couple?s boat. They are screaming like crazy and almost try to rip Larry?s clothes. They are so excited they don?t even notice the huge snarl on Larry?s face*
Girl1: Oh Larry, Larry! It?s really you!!!
Girl2: I told you it was him!!! *squeals*
Girl3; Oh My God! You?re so hot Larry you almost burn me!!
Girl1: Sign my shirt Larry! Sign my Shirt!!!!
Larry: *visibly mad* Would you please be kind and wait until I get off the boat? As you can see I have company and I need some privacy.
Girl2: C?mon Larry! It won?t take long.
Larry: *rolls eyes and tries to not lose his patience* Once again: Please be patient and wait until I get on land.
Girl1: Why so harsh? *stares jealously at Cristy* I bet she?s just another fan like us.
Larry: *Now really angry* AND WHY BY SUCH A KNUCKLE HEAD, MISS!!?? Y?know what? Do me a favor: STAY AWAY! *moves the boat away*
Girl3: Oh great!
Girl2: Way to go you idiot! You made Larry piss off!!
Girl1: Well he looks reaaaaally cute mad!
Girl2 and 3: SHUT UP!
*Meanwhile at the couples boat*
Larry: Fuck! I really hate people like that! Why don?t they.. *notices Cristy?s lost sight and asks* What?s wrong?
Cristy: That girl was right
Larry: What do you mean?
Cristy: I?m just a fan. I?m just like her.
Larry: *takes her face in his hands* Listen to me: If you were just a fan for me, do you think I?d be here with you? If you were like that rude bitch , do you think I?d try to console you and tell you that you are so much more to me?
Cristy: *shakes head and mumbles* No.
Larry: Exactly. I really like you. I really do. Listen: I?m gonna be straight with you. I?
*Larry?s cell phone rings and after deciding between answering it or finish talking with Cristy, he takes it and answers*
Larry: Hello?
Bono: Hey Lars, ?tis Bono. Where are you, man?
Larry: Umm? At the San Antonio River, why?
Bono: The River? Smoooth Move, man.
Larry: please FOAD. So what do you want?
Bono: Have you seen what time it is?
Larry: No. Why?
Bono: Larry, it?s 4:15. Sorry to break this to you but it?s time for rehearsals remember?
Larry: * slapping his forehead* Oh crap! Yeah, yeah. I remember.
Bono: Do you want me to pick you up? I?m in the car right now.
Larry: Yeah, sure.
Bono: Ok. I?ll be there in about? 15 minutes.
Larry: If you don?t crash into any trees *snicker*
Bono: Ha Ha. Ok then.
Larry: Done. *hangs up* That was Bono.
Cristy: yeah I figured *giggles*
Larry: He?s coming in 15 minutes. Y?know : Time to rehearsals and stuff.
Cristy: *slightly saddened by the news* Oh, OK.
*Larry turns on the motor and heads to shore. While Cristy fears the dream is soon to end*
