Soon I stopped watching myself , did not even look in the mirror. I wanted absolute peace, but here, as if evil, the neighbor sold his house, and new tenants started repair. The shouts of the workers and the noise of the instruments were simply driving me crazy, but most of all I was annoyed by a new neighbor. She looked about forty years old, tall and fit blonde, she made the impression of a very confident woman.
"Let's get acquainted, because we are neighbors now," she ran up to me with a smile. "My name is Lisa, and how are you?"
"Sophia," I muttered, and hurried into the house. The neighbor became even more annoying when I found out that she was my same age, but she looked much younger! Plus, I could not help noticing what kind of warm relations she had with her husband. Lisa dressed like a teenager: transparent blouses, short skirts. Her husband, Bogdan, obviously liked it, and I was just so pissed off.
One evening, the neighbors lit a fire and sat up late, hugging and kissing. I looked out the window and could not tear myself away from this romantic picture. Turned away, with the edge of her eye slid on the mirror and saw her reflection: "My God! Who is it? What happened to me? Who did I turn into? "The next day I went to the hairdresser's - it was time to put myself in order! There I met my former classmates. They began to recall with laughter my school tricks: "Do you remember how you climbed through the window into the teacher's room?" I wanted to correct the grades in the journal, but the head teacher caught you. And you ran away, only your heels sparkled! I laughed, but not because it was funny. Just remembered that once was quite different: cheerful and reckless. But at some point it changed a lot.
How can this be? ..
When Lisa and her husband tripled the housewarming, I decided to come a little earlier and help with cooking. In the kitchen, I found only Bogdan, who told me that his wife discovered cancer a year ago. She was successfully operated on, but now she must take care of herself and rest a lot. Heard shocked me, because the happy and smiling Lisa and the disease seemed something incompatible! I did not have time to think about this idea, as the guests began to gather. Almost immediately a strong figure of a tall man of about fifty rushed into my eyes, but I was too shy to talk to him first. After dinner, Lisa turned on the slow music, muffled the light and said with an enigmatic smile: "Everybody dances!" I felt uneasy, because by and large I did not know anyone here. But, to my surprise, the tallest stranger walked away from the window and headed straight for me.
"Do you mind if I invite you to a dance?" He said in a deep, slightly hoarse voice, staring intently at my slightly frightened eyes.
"Why not?" With pleasure, "I answered, rising from the soft sofa. Igor, that's the name of the man, he pressed me tightly to himself, and we whirled around under a sad song about disappointments in love.
During the dance, we talked with Igor, we had a lot in common. And as soon as the song ended, we went to the kitchen to chat in silence. There we were found by Lisa, who went out for juice.
- ABOUT! So here you are! And I was already beginning to worry about where you got lost, - Liza's face lit up with a sincere smile.
"Yes, we're just ... talking," I began to justify myself and blushed a little.
- Yes, for God's sake! I'm very glad that you are comfortable with each other's company ... "Lisa winked at me conspiratorially and left. At home, falling into a sweet dream, I came up with the idea that I had not spent so much time so interesting. Igor's smiling face stood before his eyes ... He called me in a couple of days and offered to meet. I was surprised at his call: I did not even suspect that he might be interested in me. Yes, Igor asked for my phone number, but that did not mean that he would call. And yet he called, and we agreed to meet. As for the first time, I had a feeling that I knew this man for a very long time - we could not talk! He said that he had been divorced long ago and had two grown-up sons. We began to meet almost every day, and then stay overnight from each other. How happy we were together! A few months after the meeting, I suddenly realized that Igor really was really dear to me. But I was afraid to admit it to him, because I was not sure of his feelings. Somehow, while walking in the garden, he suddenly drew me to him, looked into his eyes and suddenly kissed me.
The sensation of the heat emanating from him seemed to fill me whole and pour hot waves through my body.
"Igor ..." My voice was suddenly hoarse, and my legs gave way.
"I'm sorry, I could not help it." You're so beautiful ... "There was so much tenderness in his voice. Earlier he was very reserved and did not allow himself even a hint of intimacy, although I had long wanted to feel his lips to taste ...
"I have long wanted to tell you that ... I love you!" - Igor blurted out the last words, as if he had finally made up his mind - whether it be, what will happen.
- Igor ... I love you too!
"So you'll be my wife?" His eyes were shining.
- Well, of course!!! Soon the first anniversary of our wedding. We are very happy to have found each other. Every day we thank Lisa for introducing us. And our neighbor only smiles mysteriously and asks to be called a matchmaker!
