Mirrors Crack For Handsome Men, Too

It's both myth and superstition that mirrors crack or shatter for stunning women only, not for those Hollywood stars who had a facelift to defy age. Many ordinary women possess a natural beauty, for example Sofia Loren who was hotter than Marylin Monroe. Others followed to take her place, but never reached this goddess' height of sensuality and popularity.

There are many handsome men in the world of sport: David Beckham is one of them who drove women and girls wild with his English accent and physique. I would mention the Georgian soccer player, Kvaratskhelia the twenty-one-year-old: the winger of Napoli who has created his own style and doesn't replicate any other player's technique. He attracts huge crowds with his speedy runs and dribbling skills. He's unbeatable and intimidates all adversary teams with his ability to possess the ball with rapid motions and score a goal. No wonder he's feared through Italy and Europe, being a giant who has attained universal fame on his own merit: Kvaratskhelia is the rising star of soccer today! I won't omit Tom Brady the American football quarterback player who led the New England Patriots to victory. My focus is on those guys who are little known but possess tremendous talent for stardom, if an opportunity were given to them. Alan falls into this category according to my criteria. I have seen him play many times Flushing Meadow Park Field #2, and he's faster than a deer: he could be the next Kvaratskhelia and earn millions of dollars. I noticed his modesty, he's soft-spoken and threats everyone with respect, other players are arrogant and selfish, not happy for his achievements that he has earned and deserved with perseverance and sacrifices. Nothing was given to him, it's the outcome of his own merit. Shake his hand if you happen to meet him, ask him for his autograph, or have him sign his name on your baseball bat: it'll become a heirloom to show off and you'll be proud to own it.

When Allen was practicing with his team," The Fearless," he was teased by girls screaming, " Hey stud, how many mirrors have you cracked with those beautiful eyes and face? " He turned around with a giggle, " More than once when my little brother Greig threw a hairbrush at me while I was shaving, he had to go to the bathroom so badly! " One of them stood up from the bleachers yelling, " You are lying...they break every time you stare at them: you are an irresistible hunk! " Allen smiled and thanked her with modesty. Another girl shouted, " You should be a Hollywood star with that sexy body and gorgeous voice! " He kept smiling, appreciating the compliments while swinging his hip trying to pitch a final inning for a walk-off home run and he eventually ended the game with tremendous joy; but little they knew that this girl friend was listening to the conversation and kept quiet until she exploded shocking everybody. Debra ran from her hiding place and instead of hugging him, she slapped him hard... reprimanding him for his unacceptable behavior for flirting with a bunch of boy-teasers. Allen felt less invigorating: no, he wasn't that god fallen to Earth! Most players' ego reflects their status of wealth and are disappointed when it's no longer their pursuit for glory having reached the top. This doesn't apply to Allen who has always been a humble guy going to extremes to motivate and encourage new players by being their best; it showed in their achievements and in the strong desire to win the next game. Each triumph Allen attained on that baseball field was also their victory as well. There was nothing more triumphant than Allen's smile.

There would be no party for Allen's victory, he had to face the dire consequences and apologize to Debra: was she willing to forget the incident? In the meantime, the cell phone was ringing every five minutes. Friends and relatives congratulated him for the big win, but Allen was sad and didn't finish his dinner. Debra stared at him and felt sorry for having behaved the way she had, and striding across entertainment room , she approached him with a glance of reborn sweetness, " I'm very sorry, Allen. I got carried away by a fit of jealousy; I know you aren't the cheating kind and so faithful to me. " I have to give you a little space to breathe, and I can't hold you as a prisoner of my suspicions. We have to build love on trust shunning doubts and unfortunately, we both failed. " Allen didn't say a word and hugged her as never before, " I am also sorry for listening to those girls who teased me, but I didn't mean any harm; and grabbing a bottle of Andre whispered, " Let's celebrate my victory and let this be an unforgettable evening! " Finally, the champagne's cork popped hitting the high ceiling, and in that very moment happiness returned to their home; from then on, they became two inseparable lovers who promised never to question their solemn vows.
