Meeting Selena - Part I

This is a true story. This happened to my close friend whom I’ve known since many years and lives in Rome right now. If you are not ready to believe me, then you can stop reading. Here’s the thing in his words: 

Let me first say something about myself. I am the type of person that believes that we should enjoy the present and we should not worry about the future. I have just finished my college and am enjoying happy few days until my job. That fine day, I was with my close friends at a famous pub of the country. It was around 19:30. We were all chatting, drinking and enjoying the night along with a beautiful melodious song being played in the background. The evening seemed endless with friends.

As we all were busy talking to each other, I took a moment to take a look around us. Everyone looked great and seemed to enjoy the evening with the song. Just then my eye got caught by someone familiar about two tables away. To my surprise she was the famous celebrity Selena Gomez. But no one was bothered that she was there and why would they be!  She had disguised herself in such a way that only one out of a hundred could recognize her. I was extremely shocked to see her today because last night, as I was using facebook, I saw a photo posted by her. It was a photo shoot for a perfume. She was inside an aquarium filled with perfume and her body was half submerged. The photo looked very attractive. I opened the photo in a new tab and started browsing all her other photos and “like-d” some of them. By looking at the photos, I could see that she was really cool with her fans. There were many photos of her with her fans. This gave me some hope that maybe I can go and talk to her. I was all set to go. I geared up myself and gathered all the courage I had. Then I thought of telling my friends first but the idea of “surprise” came in my mind. I said,” Just a sec guys, I’ll be right back.” They didn’t ask where I was going since all were busy laughing and mocking each other (Oh yeah! that’s how we are). I re-gathered my courage and lifted myself up.  I started to walk towards her step by step. It felt like miles to the table. Then all of a sudden, my inner voice came into action (I know right? I’m crazy) ! The voices rang inside my head, “Return…..No its not her….You are going to make a fool out of yourself….return!!!!” The voices had succeeded in changing my mind. I decided to go back. As I was turning around, I saw the most beautiful smile that I had seen in my entire life! I smiled back and said, “Hey!” I didn’t know what to do. I was in a pause mode. My brain stopped working. After a while of awkward moments, I thought to myself “Hey? Is that what I came for?” I lifted my legs from the ground where there was 9999.8 m/s2 of gravity and I went near her, I leaned and whispered in her ear, ”Are you Selena Gomez?”
