Never ever in my life have I dared to behave so bold. I was surprised by my behaviour and words. I feel like a part of me wants to act out, to live an adventure, to be young ,wild and...well...free.
I feel like I have buried this part of me for too long and now, that is out, it's going wild.
He doesn't answer my begging, instead he lifts me in his arms and walks towards the bed. Still kissing him I hurried to unbutton his shirt but to my dissapointment, in that moment, I felt a sudden pain in my abdomen.
The most terrible and dreadful pain, that could only come once a month just to make me miserable, is here.
I abruptly stop, getting a "is something wrong?" look from him. I leave his arms and speak.
"So...this is a bit embarrassing, I think my period is coming. I'm suddenly hurting." I put my hand under my belly for comfort. "I'll be right back." And giving him a peck on his lips I rushed towards the bathroom.
'Oh dear God. This is not the moment.' I think as I close the door. I check to see if there's any blood. Nothing yet but I knew it was coming. I sight, wash my hands and get out of the bathroom.
"Found these." He says and hands me the bottle of pills from my nightstand. I smile.
"Sorry for ruining the romance." I said awkwardly. He comes towards me, puts a hand on my warm cheek and one my back forcing me to get closer. The dim light made his dark eyes shine and his features look more sharp, more profound. I instinctively touched his face.
"Hmm it's like the Universe is against us!" He laughs and hugs me. It's sudden and unexpected and I felt bad for ruining the night we could have had together. I break the hug. I needed space to think, in his arms I could not do that.
"It's still raining outside." I state while looking through the window. "How about we watch a movie?" I ask. "And I have some frozen pizza I can put in the oven. I'm starving and I imagine you're hungry too." I speak with a smile on my face knowing that what I said has a different meaning as well.
I leave him and head towards my small kitchen, get the pizza out of the freezer and get busy. He follows me and sits on a nearby chair. "Your kitchen is cute." He ends up saying.
"Haha!" I just burst out. "My kitchen is very colourful. It just somehow ended up like that." I turn and wink at him, getting a big smile in return.
My fridge is a bright blue colour and the table is purple. My chairs are dark green and the floor is brownish red. "It was too dull when I first moved here so I decided to make it more colorful." I continued. "I had plants also but nnot anymore." I pause a little. "Because I suck at taking care of them." I shove some cheese in my mouth.
He nods. "I understand. It takes so much skill and hard work to keep a plant." After a few seconds he just laughs. 'Oh,my, you little devil.' I think as I throw a tomato slice at him. He just catches it and throws it back. I hurry towards him and kiss his mouth. After a while I go back and put the pizza in the oven.
"Hey, so, how long are you going to be in London?" I dreaded asking but now was as good a time as any. "Just 'till the end of the week." He says avoid looking at me. "Oh, alright." I was saddened. "Well, we can still hang out the next few days, if you're free?" I asked hoping he would say yes. "Yeah, we most definitely will, little one."
He grabs my hand and I end up sitting in his lap.
'He smells so good.' I think I hide my head into his shoulder and blush. He kisses my forehead gently. 'This feels like heaven'. I get lost in that thought.
We end up talking about his project for about 20 minutes, after that I check the pizza and take it out. 'The more I find out about him and his job I just can't stop admiring him.' I think.
He helps me set the delicious smelling pizza on the plates and we head for the bedroom.
The Tv is on and I just switch it to music. "Let's listen to some music while we eat." He agrees.
Dreamcatcher "Chase me" plays as we eat. "I never knew frozen pizza could be so good." He says. "I'm pretty sure it is just because we're really hungry." I say while taking a bite.
The pizza was extra cheesy with mushrooms and salami, just the way I like it. I decided to put tomatoes on it but in the end I didn't. 'I was a little distracted by the handsome stranger in my kitchen.' I blush at my thoughts while I take another bite. In a few minutes we're both done so I just take the plates inside the kitchen. "You still want to watch a movie?" I yell from the kitchen. "Sure, if you're not too sleepy." He answers.
I return and see him lying comfortably on the bed. "I am sleepy." I replied. "But....I'm free tomorrow so I can stay up late." I smile and jump in bed next to him. Ending up cozy and comfortable in his arms, I took the remote and put on a random movie.
I wanted to ask a lot of questions but I didn't know where to start so I gave up saying anything in the end.
While watching the movie in silence I find myself whispering. "We're like an old couple just enjoying each other's company." I burst a faint laugh as I put my head on his shoulder and feel my eyes slowly closing in his warm embrace.
