When I first handed her the gift, she didn't understand or have a clue about the reason behind giving it. She kept looking at me very befuddled, "...and this is?"
"This is for you" I told her. She kept staring at me and asked what the gift is about. To be fair, I didn't know myself. I bought her a gift, simply because I wanted to. It may be, that I wanted to apologize and make up for what I did because of what had happened earlier. I thought I was the one at wrong for screaming...
"Should I open it than?" She asked. I laughed and said "Yeah, if you want to."

It's Wednesday tomorrow.
11.51 pm - I'm still up thinking about the kittens Adrienne showed me. I'm probably the same as Adrienne, I seem to have fallen into the grips of them.
We decided to come see the kittens tomorrow morning again, before we go off to school. I'm looking forward to that very much.
I really liked them, they reminded of Ed and that made me really happy. I wonder why she did not show them to me sooner, she agreed on showing them to me when I was with Mira after all, it couldn't have been a secret then. What could have possibly been the reason?
Seen the kittens inspired me a lot, I looked at them and wanted to sketch them very much. I asked her if she was free on Saturday. She said that she was but not in the early morning or after dinner time. We agreed to meet in the afternoon.
"The weather is kind of cold these days so bring something a little warmer to wear since we won't be moving very much" she told me, before she went inside - she is so considerate of me you see.
When I'm facing this kind of situation were I can't sleep I'd usually text Adrienne to see if she is also awake. This time around is different, my phone will be reborn soon, until then it's still dead, rest in piece phone, just like what Adrienne said.
I got up the bed and decided to continue my work on the canvas. I was inspired by the thought of my angel. I went back to bed after nearly an hour, not completely tired but laying down would probably give me some rest.

She set her alarm 40 minutes earlier than usual knowing the road will be longer if they pass the park and stay a while with the kittens. The next day will be a long day.
Unlike the other day, she fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow - she didn't remember it being this comfortable before. Earlier than that, she had made sure the sheets weren't wrinkly and the pillow was on the cold side - now everything was perfect.
Her alarm rang the next morning, she woke up feeling satisfied over the sleep she got. On the other side there was Zachary who struggled hardly to get up.
He borrowed his mother's old phone this time to set an alarm, to wake up today. But waking up this early, was easier said than done. He guessed that when he didn't manage to go to sleep on time. So instead, he set three alarms with three minutes in between. Woke up for each one but went back to sleep. After his third alarm he sat on the bed and reflected on weather to eat breakfast or get some more sleep. Going back to sleep might have been the worst choice he had made this year.

He waited for her near the gates to her place. She saw him through the window from the second floor and hurried down to meet him. She locked the door behind her and turned around when her eyes met his. Her face undertook the color pink and she had to walk slowly to get a hold of herself.
To school today, he wore a black tracksuit with Nike shoes in black color, also.
"Black looks so hot on him" she thought.
They walked side by side to the park. "Zoz, are you going home after school?" He nodded his head.
"You want to drop by the park on the way back?" he asked her.
She smiled, "yeah."
They arrived at the place, "Let's do this" she told him. "When we come in the afternoon, how about I wait further away. Let's see if they come out when it's just you or not."
He liked the idea, "But isn't too soon? Well, we could try it anyway, I'm intrigued to see how it goes!"
They stayed there between fifteen and thirty minutes. Zachary had bought some snacks with him. He gave Adrienne most of it as he fed his little one.
"Ed, look at this cutie!" Adrienne turned her head left and beamed. The two of them looked lovely, the color of clothes he wore together with her grey fur looked upright. She had almost thought that he wore this color on purpose.
