The Rich Actor and the Small Town Girl
Once there was a story
of two young lovers,
Eros and Psyche.
One a god destined to live forever,
and one a mortal destine to eventually die.
These two went through trials upon trials until they were finally happy together.
Now their story has begun to repeat, though this time there is no god and mortal,
but a handsome rich actor and a small town girl with a wanting for more.
The rich actor,
some called him Cupid
some called him a playboy,
but to most he was known as Eros
undoubtly handsome and charming to all of those who saw him.
The small town girl,
some saw her only for her beauty
some saw her only for her father's position
but to herself, she was smart and intellegent girl
that just wanted to find her place in the world.
Fate has a funny way of making things happen.
It was almost as if the actor and the girl were meant to be.
For in a cliche way they met one day.
Both in hollywood,
one for a job and one for wanting to the world.
It was definelty meant to be.
Weeks and weeks went by,
and even after the girl left for her small town,
they kept talking and talking,
and their relationship blossomed.
But the girl's sisters were jealous
and influenced her to try and steal from the rich actor.
In a rage the actor went and stayed far away from the girl.
He hid from society groveling in his anger and the girl also angry,
looked for anyway to reconcile with her love.
She would work and work,
and try and think of anyway or anything she could do to earn her love's love back.
Everything she tried went unnoticed,
for the actor's mother who took him in after the whole event kept everything from him.
Eventually one thing sliped through to him.
Then another and another,
until the actor realized how much the girl loved him.
Finally after weeks of being seperated the two finally met again.
Happiness and joy were the only emotions present
and all was forgiven and forgotten.
Despite the actor's mother and the girl's sisters,
the two were engaged not days after the end of the events
and eventually married too.
That is the story of Eros and Psyche,
or the story of the rich actor and the small town girl.
