Most of you who probably read this next entry will find it quite humorous and in retropsect, I find the topic of it funny as well. However, at the same time that these events occurred I found it quite annoying and just unnecessary on behalf of everybody involved. Let me start by setting up the story. The 17 year old kid who lives next door to me has very strict parents who barely let him out of his house. Fortunately for him, he has a girlfriend who adores him and comes to see him practically every single day at any hour. Whenever they are with another, greeting one another, or leaving one another's embrace they turn a simple moment into the sappy climax of the world's greatest love story. Here are the examples.
So I'm driving home from work one night and I've had one of those awful days. The scum of humanity passed my way that day and the day seemed to drag on. I could not wait to come inside my house and crash in my bed. I essentially had it with people for the day and did not want to be bothered. As I'm pulling into my parking space, I see the two kids, holding one another. It just so happened that it was a clear, spring evening and the moon was full. Why I noticed those things, who knows? Also, they happened to be standing underneath a willow tree which made the whole situation much more dramatic than it needed to be. Now I can't blame the kids for the scenery, but what transpired next was simply over the top. I walk past and I hear him say to her, "I love you."
She replies, "I love you and without you in my life I would be incomplete."
To that he responds, "Baby, I don't know where I would be in this world if not for you."
Now that sort of correspondence continues as I walk away and I can no longer hear them. Now I'm all for love and everything that comes along with it, but within reason. As I turn to open my door, I glance back and see them slowly lean in for one of those passionate kisses. When I saw that I just went inside and went to bed.
Scene 2:
I'm walking outside my house with an empty laundry basket on my way to pick up my washed clothes. It's raining out and the two of them had just parted ways. The girl was walking away and the boy was watching her and I was caught in the middle. I immediately stepped back as to not get in between the romantic scene that was about to ensue. As she walks away into the downpour, she stops to turn to him. Before she says anything, he responds, "Don't go so soon," and then proceeds to run towards her. They then begin kissing passionately in the rain. I felt as if I were stuck in a scene from The Notebook as I'm there just holding my laundry basket.
In hindsight, I guess it is funny how extreme these kids are and possibly a great thing that they love one another so much. If only they could learn to keep some privacy.
