I have a short story that I had worked on years ago and recently found. I changed it around quite a bit and definitely remember what I used to like so much about writing short stories. Please let me know your thoughts! Thank you and I hope you enjoy it.
What Kelly and I have is truly unique. We have the purest form of love I've ever known. She doesn't care that I have a dead end job. She doesn't care about my wrinkled skin, my lack of hair or my surplus of weight. Kelly loves me for who I am, and I her. Though it really is easy to fall for such a beautiful girl, such a kind soul. I’m on my way home to meet Kelly for dinner and relax with a movie tonight. I can’t wait to see her.
The first day we met the thing that drew me to her was her gorgeous brown eyes. Through which she expresses playfulness, joy and vitality. She was with some of her friends, I was nervous but approached her anyways and asked if she would take a walk with me. Taking in the beauty of the world together we stopped to admire everything from the flowers to the local wildlife we came across. We talked and slowly got more comfortable with each other. I had later learned from one of Kelly’s friends that Kelly had a difficult life. She had told me that Kelly had just gotten out of an abusive relationship, but she sensed that I was a good man and that she hoped I would agree to see Kelly again.
Kelly has always been a tomboy, it’s part of her charm. Athleticism has always been an important part of her life, before we met she ran professionally. Kelly isn’t afraid to be silly. She is always up to play games with the neighbor’s kids. I wonder to myself if she would enjoy having children around, but that is one thing I cannot provide her.
Many people are drawn to approach her just as I was the first day we met. From afar people can sense Kelly’s warm and affectionate nature. Sometimes people do look at us in a strange light though, which is understandable. I am much older than Kelly. I would sometimes wonder to myself if she may have been better off with another man, someone younger. Someone who could keep up with her lifestyle. Though she has always remained loyal to me. I think that it’s hard for people to appreciate the bond that we share. How can such a beautiful creature love someone like me? I've often thought this myself, but Kelly reassures me daily of her unfaltering love for me.
Years ago I had lost my job at the factory due to health reasons. They say they couldn’t accommodate my needs to get the job done any longer. With this news I was at my lowest sense of worth. But Kelly was there for me. I took her in my arms and we embraced each other. She just looked up at me from my chest with her vibrant brown eyes expressing a soothing gaze. I had been given new faith that things would turn around for me and that this is just temporary. Kelly’s opinion of me never diminished during this difficult time of my life. She still looked at me the same way as she did before, with complete faith in me. It was during this time that I had come to realize that I had true and genuine love in Kelly, I wanted us to spend the rest of our lives together. I decided that I needed to take better care of myself so that we would have more time together, for Kelly.
Finally I’m home, coming through the door I call out “Come on Kelly, here girl, here girl.” Kelly comes running on all fours, wagging her tail in excitement. She jumps up into my arms. Our love is so genuine and honest, that it transcends the need for reciprocated communication. We have love more pure than any I have ever known, unconditional.
