I decide to take a walk after my dinner. It was a long day, a walk may help to fresh up my mind. I enjoy the sound of nature in my garden but the ringtone of my mobile ringing grabs my attention. I pick it up.
"Hey" the only person who's contact is saved in my mobile greets me in his sweet melodic voice. "My mother noticed the mark you gave me today" I roll my eyes but smile. "Well.. what's wrong? You look much more beautiful with my mark on your skin my girl.. I took my time to decorate my art piece".
"Shutup" I get shy, "Do you even know how embarrassing that was?" He chuckles. "Yeah.. I'm sorry.. it must be so embarrassing for you" He laughs nonstop making me adopt the same.
I sigh. "Well.. listen I need to talk about something" I get a bit serious but nervous. "Yeah? What's wrong?" His tone gets steady now that we're talking seriously but I laugh nervously. "I need you to buy me something.. that's because I can't go outside much and my surgery day is near so-"
"I know, what is it that you want?" I fiddle with my nails as I'm trying to make out the words. "Well.. have you heard of couple accessories?" I ask him. "Umm yeah.. do you like that type of thing?"
"I do.. I.. actually wanted to try it with you.. but I thought you may find it cringey and all" I doubt that he may deny. "woahh.. actually I thought the same.. I've seen a lot of couple sharing bracelets and shoes and all.. I wanted to do it with you too"
"Really?" I ask out of excitement. "Yeah.. tell me what did you want me to buy then?" I smile. "I heard from my mom that.. there are some necklaces with bracelets.. so yeah like the bracelet contains a key and the necklace has the keyhole.. so they're like connected"
"Wow" I get shy thinking about us. "Hmm.. so I want that.. bracelet for you and.. for me the necklace.." I let out a nervous chortle. "I love this cute and adorable side of you darling.. come on don't be shy" he laughs. "I'll surely try to find it and we'll wear it together hm?"
"Uhm.. yes.. but I want it tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is my surgery.. I want to have it with me during that time.. maybe that will kind of reassure me.." maybe he won't be able to be there with me but atleast the thing that belongs to him and reminds me of us will be the best cure for my nervousness.
"Am I that important Raquel?"
"Offcourse you are.. why do you ask that?" I frown. "No.. it's just that.. you're too precious.. you always make me feel worthy and loved.."
"That's because you do the same to me and staying with you makes me the happiest so yes you're the most important for me." I think about all the times he's been there for me and held me when I wanted to just break apart. I need to see how much lucky I am to be his girl and to have a man like him all mine, like he calls him.
"I promise... I'll make you the happiest girl raq.. I love you so much.." I feel emotional now he's talking about these things but I don't let my tears fall. "Your prescense is enough for me to be happy, now bye"
"Hey-" I hang up feeling nervous as hell, but I smile like an idiot.

I sit on my bed, I feel bored so I decide to try to braid my hair. This feels a bit hard as I'm not really a professional or that much into hairstyles. I don't care much about my hair and doing a simple braid can be sometimes much hard without seeing what I'm doing.
I grab my comb and brush my hair, but some memories strike me.
[FLASHBACK]
"Your hairs are getting long and beautiful baby" he compliments me casually like he always do. "Yes but they keep on getting messier, I'm gonna cut them soon."
"I like long hairs.. and this haircut suits you.. why would you cut them?" He gets disappointed. I didn't knew he focus on my hairs too.
"You like long hairs?" I ask him. "Yeah.. I like to play with them", he gets shy too. I chuckle. "Then what do I do to manage them?"
"You can braid them.. my mother used to braid too.. so.." I laugh at his cuteness and ruffle his hair. "I don't know how to braid.. my mother used to do that before"
"Oh.." he clears his throat. "I know actually, I learned it from my mother". "You know how to braid?"
"Yeah.. I can try it on you if you want". I like this alot. "OK"
"Come here" he grabs my hand and we both sit on the grass ground and sits behind me and gets closer. He grabs my hair tie and unties my hair, and then gently straightens out my hair. He seems too focused on my hairs that I'm melting through his cuteness. The amount of cuteness I have to handle.
"Hey, sit straight, don't move" he grabs my shoulders firmly and I stay in that position. "Ok sir" I smile widely but feel his fingers gently moving in my scalp. I shiver once his hands touch my sensitive neck.
He chuckles. "wow.. did you like that?" He traces his fingers on that spot again. I bend my head back and hit his chest with it. "Focus Andrew". A kiss on my cheek startles me. "Hey, don't try to play it cool with me, I get what I want so sit straight".
"But you can't get me"
"And who said that?" He stops but comes closer to my ear. "I said that" I try to be confident while my heart is racing inside my chest.
"I'll show you that soon miss" he places a kiss on my ear, and keeps on braiding my hair.
[END OF FLASHBACK]
I smile uncontrollably and braid my hair on my own.
