In the middle of her falling down something caught her. Warm strong arms embraced her before a single bit of her could touch the floor. A soft soothing voice caught her ear. "It is ok, it is not that big a deal" He says and then pecks her on the cheek.
A golden light forms and a small crest appears on her cheek where he kissed. The crest is of an arrow piercing a heart. It glows before vanishing.
Cupid sighs. "You have received my blessing" He says a little sadness in his voice. She is too shy to ask about it concentrating on the blessing he had just bestowed on her.
"What blessing?" She asks.
Cupid smiles at her "the blessing of love. Within the next three days your true love will find you."
Amy gasps. That was it? A simple peck on the cheek and her true love will find her? She couldn't believe it would be that easy.
After that brief encounter, he gave her some pointers on her appearance. "Keep a brush with you and keep your hair brushed. It will look much better that way. Stop wearing jeans and sweat pants all the time and find some more flattering garments. You have nice legs so show them off!" He explained to her and then waved his hand a small box appearing on her bed.
"In this box is three outfits. A brush, some perfume, and some makeup. Use these every morning before going out. I guarantee you will encounter your love. " he then stood up, patted her on the head and walked to the center of the room.
"If you have any questions, or need any help, just message me in the chat" he said before that while light appeared again, and then he was gone.
She sat on her bed looking at the box and then to the sand left in the center of her room. If it was not for those two items, she would have thought she had gone crazy or was dreaming. SHe even reached up and pinched her own cheek hard. "Ow, nope not a dream..."
She turned and grabbed the box pulling it into her lap. She opened the lid and inside was a letter with instructions. Reading the letter, she discovered there was an order to the clothing she was needing to wear, and how she would do her makeup. It also left explicit instructions on how everything should be done. At the end it said to keep the perfume on her, and reapply it every couple of hours.
Amy thought these must be magic items. She pulled out the first outfit. It was a black business suit with a knee length skirt with slits going up the sides, a black blazer, and a white blouse. They looked like ordinary clothes.
The second outfit she pulled out was similar but in blazing red with a light pink blouse. The skirt was a little shorter and the top was a little tighter it seemed.
The final outfit was something she did not expect at all. It was a tight pink tank top and short daisy duke cut offs. It even included undergarments. A bright white thong, and a white strapless bra.
The make up and the perfume came out next. She laid everything out across her bed and looked at it all. It looked like normal things.
In the end she decided to hang all of the clothes and put the make up and perfume near her purse. She made herself a microwave dinner, ate and then went to bed.
She had a nervous excitement in her belly when she laid down to sleep. Things would be different tomorrow. She would find her chance at love! With this thought swimming through her mind she finally fell asleep.
The web of fate had two faint strings nestled somewhere in its middle. In her bed the mark on her cheek began to glow. In the web of fate those two threads also began to glow. Their paths were next to each other, but they ran close to each other never crossing. The glow engulfed them both brightly and then when it faded the two strings crossed at a specific spot.
When Amy awoke she felt refreshed and new. She jumped out of bed with a giddy enthusiasm. She ran to the bathroom and quickly turned on her shower and disrobed tossing her pajamas in the laundry bin.
Dawning the first outfit, she did everything as was instructed. When she was done she looked at herself in the mirror and gasped.
She looked... Hot!
Very Hot!
Amy stood there staring at herself a little shocked before her alarm went off.
"Crap! I will be late for the train!"
She ran out the door her keys dropping on the floor in the hallway. She stumbled to pick them up, then realize she forgot her purse. She grabbed the purse, grabbed the brush and perfume, locked her door and started stumble running in her heels down the hall. She was not use to walking in these things at all!
A few minutes later, a subway train was pulling off from its terminal while a girl in a business suit walking uncomfortably in heels tries to run after it "Waiiiitttttt!" She cries finally falling onto the platform on her knees. There goes her perfect working recorded.
She tried to stand up and kept falling back down. She glared at the heels debating if she should take them off.
About this time she heard a voice behind her "Excuse me ma'am, do ya need some assistance?". The voice had a bit of baritone to it, and a country accent.
Amy turned around to see a set of long strong legs covered in patched jeans standing in dirt worn boots. Her eyes continued to travel up over a red plaid button down shirt. And then still higher to see a chissled jaw, pink lips trimmed with blonde stubble, a prominant nose, rich eyebrows, and a shadow cast by a thick brimmed cowboy hat.
"Ma'am, are you ok??" he asks again seeing the look on her face. Amy stares at his face, a slight blush coming to her cheeks. She cant form the words and she stutters a little. "ye Ye Yes, I am mm fi fine" she finally manages to get out taking his offered hand. It was warm, slightly rough in texture, and didnt move even when she put her whole body weight on it to pull herself up. She reached her feet and stumbled in the heels falling into his chest. The man catches her "Well gee, not that I don appreciate the attention, but we just met" he chides with a grin showing pearly white teeth. Amy cant focus, her brain suddenly registering the fact she had been running, and must be sweating. Oh no I must stink! she thought, quickly pulling the perfume out. She tries to spray it on herself quickly. However she did not pay attention to the direction of the nozzle. Two spritzes later, and the mans eyes were burning and red "Ahhhhhhhhhhh" he shouts and everyone looks over at the two. She is
A soft blush colors her cheeks as she diverts her eyes. "yes, much better." She can feel her heart pounding in her chest. She stands there simply holding his hand. A few moments go by, and Eli breaks the silence as the cart worker is calling at her. "I think its your turn in line ma'am" his southern drawl comes out. Amy quickly regains herself and turns around pulling her hand away. "Can I at least buy you lunch as an apology from earlier?" she asks turning to the cart attendant. Eli chuckles at her and smiles "I would like that, what are ya havin?" Amy suddenly realizes she is a little short on funds and gulps quickly looking over the menu. She then asks the attendant "Two footlongs please! load them up" The cart attendant pulls the hot door open, reaching in with a pair of Thongs, he grabs two large foil wrapped dogs. Pulling them open he holds them both in one large hand, while layering toppings on with the other two. After finishing he held out the two dogs "9.50" he says sh
Amy began to get worried. She would see him again, right? She walked to work, then up to her cubicle. Still no sign of Eli anywhere. As the hours ticked by, she ignored even the emails coming to her. Worry began to knit her brows. Was that all she got? A couple of brief moments of happiness? Lunch came and went. Still not even a sign of him. Her spirits were falling fast. By the time 3pm rolled around. She was almost manic. She had thought she missed the only opportunity she would ever have. And instead of getting his number she ran back to work. She hated herself. She hated her job. She began to get angry. "If I didn't have this demanding unforgiving job…." She cursed in her heart. At this moment Steve waddled over to her. Before he could even open his fat repulsive lips she snapped at him. "What do you want Steve? I am busy!" Steve was not used to this from her. That cold attitude, that seductive business suit. He felt himself starting to sweat. He pulled at the collar o
Steven stops. Sweat pours down his bald head soaking the collar of his tight shirt. Eli looks over at him and says one simple phrase. "You are fired. Pack up and go home" and then turns back to Amy. "Any other grievances I should know about?" A wicked grin sitting on his lips. Amy's smile seems to match his own "why don't we discuss the rest of this over dinner" as she glances over at the other managers she had problems with. Eli nodded. The line of suits behind him didn't even bat an eye, nor did they show the slightest bit of frustration with his personal conversation in the middle of the workplace. "Great I will call you later so we can work out the details, I really look forward to see you Amy" and then he turned and left, the line of suits behind him following like a black snd white tide. Amy finished work, went home, and giddily jumped into the shower. She was so excited for the date she couldn't help but jump around, giggle, and smile non stop the entire time. After her
Cupid was looking through the list of names in the chat room. He was glancing back and forth at a magic camera screen. He watched as Amy and Eli disappeared into her apartment, lips locked together. "Well, I do not think I will need to worry about them any longer" as he felt the mark of fate disappear as the new lines of fate were sealed.Cupid was watching the chat room now, sending the camera on Amy away. He was not a voyer, at least not today. He went back to sipping his small fruity drink that was inside a cut open coconut.Cupid would occasionally chat in the room, just so people knew he was not a bot. While sending out one of his usual messages to someone, he noticed a name he had been seeing lately.The name of this use for dyeingforlove.Cupid watched the name for a bit.This user was extremely active. Like too active. He would join in every conversation, and message every person. Cupid was fairly sure it was a He, it had a blue name, and was listed as male. Though with things
On a sandy beach overlooking crystal clear water. Perfectly white sand of extra fine consistency reflected the dazzling lights of the hot blinding sun across its surface. Waves crashed away from the shore leaving the soothing sounds of water constantly churning in the area. Palm trees fenced in the border of the sand from the rest of this tropical paradise. The sounds of teaming life busily doing things echoed through the land. Birds were squawking and chittering, insects were buzzing and chirping. The feint sound of keys tapping could be heard. Sitting under a lone large umbrella, sprawled out on large blanket was a man with short brown hair wearing what seems to be a perfectly white robe. In front of him is a small laptop that he is busily typing away on. On the screen is a message window with scrolling text. On closer inspection it is a chat room. At the top of the screen in the center, the name of the room is displayed. "Cupid's Love Connection" In the user list was filled wi
Back in the apartment, 10 minutes had gone by. The girl was a nervous wreck. Her anxiety had forced her brain into tumultuous tangents all leading to the worst possible scenarios. By this time, her brain had settled on the fact she was probably going to be removed from the chat room permanently on top of getting yelled at. She really enjoyed this chat room. The people were always so lovely. Her eyes were closed as she clutched her head. She heard that tell tale ding, and her breath caught in her throat. She couldn't force herself to look at it. Maybe if she just ignored it, it would go away. She sat there for a couple of minutes. But there was only the one ding. She finally managed to drum up enough courage to slowly peak at the screen between her fingers. What she saw left her stunned. After a moment she pulled her hands away from her face. Closed her eyes. Rubbed them, then reopened them and looked at the screen. There was only a short message on the screen. It read "Hi, please
