My name is Sol which means sun in Spanish. Her name is Alba which means flower. Every night she sings for him, but he doesn't seem to appreciate how beautiful her voice is. She smiles with those sweet pink lips, but he always looks the other way. She always try to reach for him, but...

"I always get what I want." No, it's not because I'm an only child, that's why I say that phrase a lot. It's because of my determination in getting whatever it is that I want. I may not get it now but I have full belief that I will, one way or another, get it....
