Summary: Cupid Quits right before Valentines Day, and the hope of all soul mates rests in two people falling in love... unfortunately they hate each other. Is love doomed or can two people from completely different walks of life find the spark that already lies within them and restore the faith of a very disillusioned winged little angel?
Chapter 1.
“Cupid please come down from there, someone is going to see you!”
Swinging his pudgy little legs over the tall skyscraper cupid sat with his head in his hands and a bottle of vodka by his side looking very disillusioned.
“Go away Larry.”
Covering his tear stained face with his fluffy white wings cupid gazed sadly over the hundreds of people walking on the sidewalk below.
“Oh please they’re all caught up in their own little petty lives down there to even notice me.”
Taking another swig of alcohol he wiped his mouth with the back of his little hand sighed.
“Its all over Larry no one cares about love anymore. I’m through with giving these ungrateful humans this precious gift only to have them throw it away.”
Knowing how highly emotional cupid was Larry inched his way very carefully towards the edge of the roof towards him.
Seeing him out of the corner of his eye Cupid stood up and hung his chubby toes over the edge.
“Don’t come any closer! I swear to God I’ll jump!”
Rubbing his forehead Larry sighed as his patience began to waver.
“Umm cupid you know you have your wings right? You could just fly off the building it’s not like you’re going to fall to your death or anything.”
Angered cupid waved his bow and arrow around high in the air.
“Well then if I can’t kill myself I’ll do one better.”
Tossing his magical bow and arrows off the edge of high-rise building he stumbled towards the door leading to the stairs and folded his arms in front of himself.
“I Quit!”
Dropping his clipboard down on the ground Larry broke into a cold sweat.
“B-But Cupid you can’t quit! Valentines day is in five days! Do you know how many people you’re suppose to bring together on that day? You’re going to ruin the fate of hundreds, maybe even thousands of soul mates!”
“Oh soul mates my ass.”
“Cupid!”
“Come on, do you know how high the divorce rate is? I give them the chance to be happy for the rest of their life and what do they do? Cheat, lie; hurt each other by expecting perfection and unrealistic fairytales.”
Cupid sadly gazed down at the crowd below as his eyes filled with tears.
“No one cherishes each other anymore. No one realizes how special it is to have someone who really loves you. It’s all taken for granted. Look at them Larry so many people in so much pain why aren’t they nice to each other anymore?”
“Well that’s a complicated question Cupid. We’re living in very difficult times and people are under a lot of stress.”
Waving his hands around in the air as if he just stated the obvious cupid reached for the door to the stairs.
“But don’t you see? That’s the best thing about love. It’s there to comfort you and keep you from being lonely. It’s the single greatest gift in the world and what do people care about? What cup size a woman has or how big a man’s bank account is…we’re living in a superficial world my friend I am a dinosaur, love doesn’t exist anymore.”
Thinking for a moment while he felt his biceps and looked over his outfit he lifted his chin up proudly.
“I think I’m going to start working out, if you need me to fill out any paperwork I’ll be at the gym, and by the way …it’s not Cupid anymore. I'm sick of that wimpy diaper boy name …I want to be called Blake!”
Holding his head as his blood pressure rose higher and higher Larry stood completely stunned when suddenly and idea came to him
“Wait a second, what if I made some sort of deal with you Cupid.”
“Blake!”
“Sorry umm… Blake… what if the next two people on your list fell in love, real love like head over heels crazy love… without your help. Would that prove to you that humans are capable of appreciating such a gift without the help of magic?”
Grabbing the clipboard from Larry’s hands Cupid...I mean Blake … started to belly laugh.
“These two? They hate each other! Without my help they don’t stand a chance!”
Holding his heart he struggled to breathe as he looked at the names again.
“Sure Larry if these two morons fall for each other in five days I will resume my duties and report to work ready to strike on Valentines day as scheduled.”
Larry could still hear his laughter as he disappeared down the stairwell.
Reaching for his cell phone he called the main office in charge of destiny and asked for two of its best workers.
“Yes you heard me right we have five days to get them to fall in love and if we fail so does the fate of man kind.”
Resting his glasses on his nose he scanned the clipboard.
"They live in Roswell, New Mexico. Your assignments will be given to you in the morning. All the details will be worked out tonight. Your under cover names will be Maria and Michael."
Looking up at the sky he prayed his plan would work.
“Yes I’ve got their names right here…
"Liz Parker and Max Evans.”
