WOKE UP IN JAPAN -calum hood

Blue dot

Sun light was beaming thrue the window, touching my cheeks. The bed I woke up in was big and soft, as I would be lying in the clouds. I opened my eyes and rose from bed. My feet touched the cool floor, my eyes were sparkling with curiosity. There was not my cosy in homy bedroom around me. I was stood in the middle of a big hotel room, furnished with white modern furnisher. I moved to the bathroom, which had a big bath and a tall mirror. On the other side of the room I saw a big glass door. My feet quickly moved to the balcony. I open the door in walk on the cold tiles. The cold wind hits my face.

I notice what I'm wearing. A big green hoodie, that is definitely not mine. I notice my phone on the nightstand beside the bed. I took it in my hand and ignore all the miss calls. I open the maps app and search for the blue dot. I drop my phone from pure shock. Japan. I woke up in Japan.

The room around me is spinning, I can't breathe properly anymore. I'm only thinking how I end up here in friking Japan. I open my phone again, and yes, the blue dot is still on the Asian island. I check other applications. Beside unanswered calls I have some new photos. These photos show that I was in a bar with a dancefloor last night. There are many people photographed, but one person stands out. Tall boy whit dark brown hair. On the first photo he's wearing a black leather jacket and beanie on his head. On other photos he's only wearing the green hoodie, that is currently on me.

A noise wakes me up from some kind of trans. I look around the room and only know notice someone on the left side of the bed, covered with a white cover. He moves. A beautiful pair of brown eyes are looking at me from under the covers. Unexpected for me I stay calm. His eyes don't make me nervous, but they keep me relaxed. His eyes were full of warmth. In that moment, my head spins and I fall to the ground. All the memories from last night are flooding back to me, like you would turn on a switch.

I didn't want to be alone last night. I wanted to meet new people and forget my problems and worries. I walked on the main street. I noticed a bar from which some colourful lights were coming from. I order a shot of tequila and then another. From the other side of the bar, a guy was looking at me with his beautiful eyes. In ten minutes, he comes over to me with two glasses. He sits beside me, and for some time we just look at each other, like were enchanted. I melt in his brawn eyes and he melt in my greens. He than stands up and gives me a hand and asks me to dance. I give him a big smile and happily agree. I was dancing with a stranger, all night deep in to the night.

Someone shakes me awake and sits me beside the wall. I try to focus on his eyes. A curl falls on his forehead. I try to tuck it back, but my hand just stays in the air. He pushed a glass of water in my hand instead. I slowly slurp the cold liquid. The stranger sits in front of me with a smile on his face.

"Hello, how are you? I think we should get you back to bed." I just look at him and quickly nod.

He helps me stand up and guides me to the bed. When I lay down, he covers me with a blanket. In the background I hear a soft melody that slowly puts me to sleep.
